    Russia Invades Ukraine AND Chinese Aircraft Enter Taiwan Airspace

    I run across this very interesting article. Turkey does not feel like letting Finland and Sweden join NATO. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/turkey-lays-out-demands-finland-sweden-seek-nato-membership-2022-05-15/

    Buying a boat across the country

    $3,750 seems a bit low as Uship charges 25% commission. Please make sure you read the reviews. Also I would strongly encourage you that you get full coverage insurance on the top before anyone tows it. I probably would not make that trip for less than $4,000, so if the hotshot offering you...

    Trailer guide posts vs bunks

    Depending on your trailer, they might "rotate". It feels like they float when you deep in the water. As long they are secure and the boat sits properly you should be okay. My bunks are static on the boat, but rather loose on the jetski.

    E Series Boat or Ridesteady

    my kids are 10 and 8, you have plenty of time. They are light and will be able to get up. This is not the time to buying a new boat, so even if RS and E series were equal I would still stick to your boat. Given RS is one ( or ten) steps about everything else, I definitely go with RS.

    Trailer guide posts vs bunks

    check this one out. After this I removed my guide posts. Nothing wrong with them, I just feel rather comforable with with the center bunks to center the boat. Especially it the trailer is bit shallower...

    Trailer Brake Questions/Help

    if you take it easy you should be okay. That being said it is rather straight forward to change the brakes yourself. Rotors, pads, calibers and even hoses. One question you probably should ask yourself is the trailer condition aside from the brakes. If the brake componets are eaten up, how is...

    Moving to The Dark Side. Pilot House w/F300. Just because... it's Atlantic Northeast.

    ......I was born in a 8 million yacht and entered adult hood in the same boat, but my adult life has been tough. 2015 $30K for a 190, 2017 $60K for 240, 2020 $150K for the parker and now we are barely scrapping for $330K. o_O

    Moving advice: Midwest -> Florida (or Atlanta)

    I do not see how many people in this forum will recommend GA over FL, but instead of us deciding your future, dont you think maybe you will be better served to ask your family where they want to be ? Better yet, take a couple of days and yall go visit both places and see which ones feel 'home'.

    What is the Safest Way to Sleep on a Moving Vehicle ? ( for say overnight driving)

    @2kwik4u I grew up in the 80s so I am very familiar with those van. Familiar through movies that is. I have always loved them. And loved even more after George Constanca's parents gave me some new ideas :-) BTW, do you have happen to know who makes those seats ?

    @adrianp89 do you know who manufaturs those seats ? The article calls them Hoverseats but google returns nothing useful.

    @swatski what are you going to do with the LC? I assume a F350 is in order but what is the future of the legendary LC ? Can I get inline before some random Ford dealship makes a killing on it ?
