    Moving from Miami to Utah?!?!?!?!Help

    Well as much as I regret this I am moving from South Florida to near Ogden, UT for a job offer. I am from Cal originally so I do love the mountains and ski season so that's a plus. Wondering about boating at Pineview Lake up the hill from the valley. Does the water warm up enough for swimming...

    Bunk Scratches

    I noticed my bunks started scratching when I winches it up the last time (I never powerload). Is there a way to buff these out? Just ordered liquid rollers from Amazon to prevent further damage.

    Couple sells all possessions for sailboat, sinks 2 days into trip

    Worst part about that story is all the stupid people contributing to thier gofundme page. They already have enough money to fix the boat and continue to screw off while the rest of us earn a living. When is America going to learn to stop financing lazy bums in society??

    Looking to buy 3 in 1 GPS

    I have a Garmin 44dv in my boat (for coastal mapping), it works fantastic. They come with a simple transducer that you can install yourself that you have to drill minimal holes( I think its only the screws and the pickup wire) Not like some of the big ones that want you to cut a doorknob hole...

    It's ski season

    Thanks @swatski, I have skied Snowbird many years ago (and once again two years ago at the very last day of the season lol) so if Jay Peak can rival the powder that it dumps like in the west then I will be heading there!!!

    It's ski season

    What are you getting the ladies for Xmas

    Try an intro scuba dive here in the Florida Keys or Cozumel Mexico you won't regret it. Its fun to be on top of the water but exploring the reefs is really a wonderful experience, and if you get into it there are so many wrecks to check out. I also got my girl a intro flying lesson once she...

    $2,500 a month for boat storage?

    @Betik, you know you could try to build a garage door that looks like your two door façade from the front side and store your boat there. I hate HOAs they are such Nazis!!!!

    Right rear tire frozen on trailer

    So the bearings are frozen or are your brakes locked up? If brakes you probably have a broken spring or something keeping them engaged. If its the bearings I would be cautious as you need to take the hub apart and replace the wheel bearings and grease seals. If one is frozen I am sure the...

    100% of engine water removed

    @CaliJetBoater75 I understand they are trying to keep the mussels out of the lake but it is ridiculous. Not to be political but the left has such a hold on that state that everything you can think of has a regulation, fee, taxed or some kind of restriction. Sad because it is such a beautiful...

    100% of engine water removed

    After reading all this I am so glad I moved out of the gulag that is California, I can't imagine how long the line must be to put your boat in a lake nowadays there. Do the Boat Nazis let you have another chance or are you blacklisted for life @CaliJetBoater75?
