Amphicar
My Dad had one of those in the 70's, and it wouldn't surprise me if the red one in the video was his. Right hand drive, Triumph engine in the rear. Dad never really cared about the bilge pump in...

Wedding
We held it at our house, which was great in the sense that some of the money that we spent was an investment (house repairs, yard work. etc), but a lot of work and stress was involved. I wouldn't...

Positive
I didn't intend for my previous post to sound negative, as the boat has actually given me uncountable great times out there. It's like your kids: a whole lot of happy, but every now and again........

Look
It's not a bad idea to take a look under the engine cover prior to heading out regardless. Check the oil, look at what's floating in the bilge, look for anything unusual. I have never found anything...

We decided to take Sunday off from yardwork and spent 3+ hours on the Lake. Started the boating season off right by going to Pop's and enjoyed every bite. We were unaware of the free ice cream, but...

Boilers
I will begin by saying that I work directly for a European boiler manufacturer-one not mentioned in any of this post. I suppose that means that I have work to do in the Lakes Region.

lights
What would it hurt to have them regardless? In this litigeous world, it is better safe than sorry. Put the lights on a bar, and tie or strap them to the rear of the boat itself, running the wires up...

The fire that you had mentioned was probably McGrath's Market, that was located between the Busy Corner store and the beach.

I had noticed the same. Although we were cleaning up the house and yard, we noticed a definite lack of boat traffic. We also noticed how dark the opposite shoreline was on Sunday night.
