Step stool
A few years back when we had our bow rider, I got this folding 2-step stool that worked well ( and you didn't have to step down on the cushion). You just put a hand on the bimini frame and it was an...

North Water docking
Hi and welcome to Winni. We keep our pontoon at North Water and go out once a week all summer. It can be a bit tricky coming in depending on traffic and current. I mostly do a 'K' turn to position...

Boat horn
You may have seen that big, quad-engined Midnight Express out and around the lake. It has an unbelievably loud triple or quad horn, I would say maybe like a train or very loud semi. We were pulling...

For those who haven't seen this combo yet, here is (probably) the ultimate bowrider/cruiser, the Formula 500. Staggering performance for a boat of this size with the quad V12's. (The gph will make...

Every man or woman for themselves
Just my 2 cents. We have a 24' Xcursion/115 Merc. We are in no hurry to go anywhere when we're on the lake. We're retired/older and it works for us (not that I don't like speed). We've definitely...

Incredible amount of work on that type of restoration. I grew up sailing and working on my dad's 1905 gaff-rigged yawl. My God, the brightwork. Holy crap! But it was a thing of beauty. What will you...

Tinnitus
Just read the same article. Don't know about the mindfulness part. I'm a low-key person, no stress. No amount of 'masking' affects it for me. I'm inclined to go along with the fact there's really...

Tinnitus
FLL, for what it's worth, I've had tinnitus for about a dozen years now, slowly getting worse. I think it's a bit different with everyone. I find it is harder to block the noise now whereas earlier...

They are easy to order from, carry tons of brands, and have free shipping. I really like and have had good luck with Solar. I have a pair on my '17 Forester and '96 Lexus. My sister has a set on her...

Non-ethanol
Sorry if I may have missed this info now or before on another thread but I wish one of the marinas on the lake sold non-ethanol. l don't know how much more it would cost but I'd sure buy it.

Yup! Been through. It can get a little hairy. If you're not on the throttle, you're heading for the wall. And you're correct, it can be fun to watch!

I bought one of these a few years back. I must say it's very handy; it's nice not having to wear the lanyard. If I happen to go overboard, the engine cuts. It has about a 60-foot range when it will...
