I wouldn't waste the money on LEDs myself, especially since you are planning on mounting them up on posts out of the water. Its not like an RV where you boondock and want to conserve on battery power.

well I did the math. just guessing that the 8 inch rim has 5 inches of rubber around it for an 18 inch diameter and the 12 inch rim has 6 inches of rubber for an overall diameter of 24 inches both times Pi gives 1.333 times the circumference. of course actual amount of rubber/diameter could...

check out the new Nikon D3200. looks beautiful in their red color also. bumpy

yep, price out the software vs PC stuff too.

costco has the D5100 with 18-55 and 55-300 lenses for about $999. bumpy

just checked at Sam's Club this am. the D5100 with two zoom lenses, 18-55&55-200 and case is $849. bumpy

I don't know about current Mercs but my older one does not have a shear pin, it has a rubber slip clutch prop I think. bumpy

IMHO you are asking for potential trouble if overpowering a boat. if a DNR employee is having a bad day, it could end up with an expensive ticket. if you have the misfortune to hit somebody a lawyer will rake you over the coals. I'm wary about putting my 8 hp Yamaha (which is the same size as...

I had a 14-48 grizzly and bought the floor kit from Bass Pro for it. also came with two side panels. worked great and I think the aluminum is a much better idea than putting plywood down. bumpy

yep, the ones you can get at Bass Pro aren't much more than that stated price and they are done right. bumpy
