Lakeview Dodge was bought out by AutoServe and shut down. I guess they figured the Dodge dealership in Tilton was the only one they needed in the area. In general we'll be seeing fewer dealerships...

There are after-market antennas available, though I don't know if there are many cut for the VHF marine band. Generally they are just bigger versions of the rubber duck antenna that give you a better...

Not Bad!

For use around the lake it's generally more than sufficient. You won't reach from one end of the lake to the other, but you'll have a few miles range. That's usually enough to reach someone on the...

VHF handheld using better antenna

I've used my 5 watt handheld with the rubber duck antenna supplied with it and with an antenna mounted on my boat. At best I'd get 6 to 10 miles over open water with the rubber duck antenna. Using it...

Red face Ice Out Prediction for 2008

I'm guessing it's going to be a 'normal' Ice Out, with it occurring sometime around Tax Day (April 15th). I'll even hazard a guess as to the time: 3:30PM.

One of the worst I've come across so far here in the Lakes Region is Winona Road between Meredith and New Hampton. It isn't just frost heaves but the erosion and sinks in the road that make it...

My tank isn't all that big

My 20' cuddy runabout has a 29 gallon tank which feeds a 4.3L V6. It burns about 3 gallons an hour at cruise (3700rpm) but we don't spend all that much time at speed, so I'd guess our average gas...
