The wife and I are headed up to Steinhatchee for a few days next week and I have a few questions for anyone that is familiar with or lives in the area. TIA

5 years ago I was diagnosed with bladder cancer that they found while doing blood work for a partial knee replacement. What a surprise that blood work was. Well of course the knee became secondary and the cancer moved to the front of the line as priority. Well I am happy now because the cancer...

I am currently looking at a couple of pocket trawlers to use as a mother ship and a weekend getaway spot. One of them has a really poor name that means nothing to me. If I get that one should I keep the name or make it my own and change it?

Just had to share and brag on my son in law a bit. I recently purchased a new Taurus 45/410 polymer Judge Public defender. My son in does some work in leather and he surprised me with this today. Well with pictures...... I'll get the holster on Christmas.

I am finally doing a proper install on my Dragonfly Pro 5. The installation instructions say to use the proper size in line fuse but doesn't say what that "PROPER" size is. Any suggestions from the wiring experts here. Thanks

Had an unforseen problem with mounting bracket install. I found out that there is nothing under my deck to mount to. I'll post some pics when I get the hole for the new hatch cut out.

I recently bought a new truck and decided that I want to at least try to take care of it for as long as possible especially the inside. It came with black carpet throughout so I started looking for decent floor mats as the black shows every bit of this Florida sand. I ended up buying the...

Got my new hatch Friday and got it installed today. Now to paint it and install the trolling motor mount.

Getting ready to install my transom mount trolling motor on a custom made bow mount. I am looking for some type of quick disconnect that I can wire the trolling motor to so that it's easy to remove. I'm not installing a traditional TM plug into the deck because of the saltwater around here...

I have been toying with the idea of Thermos meals. Not just throwing leftovers from the night before in and calling it done but actually from beginning to end put ingredients in adding boiling water then so many hours later have a meal that's tasty healthy and not going to make you sick from...

Right now I use a 1999 Astro van high top conversion as my primary tow vehicle for my boat. It works well and I am able to camp out of it as well. But I bought it used and it had been a New York van so I am slowly seeing corrosion issues and some wiring problems. I have been looking into the new...

I picked up a good used push pole to use on the flats here is Central Florida but now I am looking for a way to mount holders to my tinny. Here is a picture of the gunnel area. I am thinking that I may need to install several blocks running down the inside to mount the holders to. Any...

How far is your average run when you go to your normal fishing spots? What size motor are you running? How many miles to the gallon are you averaging? You here a lot of "this thing sips gas", " can't seem to run out of gas" and such, I'm just curious

I'm sitting here watching a full scale replica of the space shuttle go by. Their getting ready to put it on a barge to take it to be refurbished.

I found them on Ebay and decided to give them a try. They are a company out of Australia but have locations in a bunch of places. They had these clamp on rod holders that fit the 1.25" on my console. They are some sort of heavy plastic but seem like they will do the job perfectly.

Before and after pics. When I bought the boat and couple of months ago I did a temperature test to see how hot the deck gets in the direct sun. I found out that the original O.D. Green got as hot as 143° in direct sunlight and that is at the end of October I could not imagine how hot iron will...

I don't get to say this very often but I actually had a GREAT experience at my local Bass Pro Friday night. They were having a double rewards night so I decided to call to see if they had the gps I wanted and at what price. ( Now I had found the Raymarine Dragonfly 5 pro online at...

I just picked up my Raymarine Dragonfly 5 Pro. The power cable has 3 wires in it ( positive, negative and what they call drain wire ) the instructions say to mount the drain wire to the boats ground or if no ground then to the negative side. So I am looking for suggestions on where to put the...

West Marine has these for $199.00 is that a good price? It's not the chirp version but seems to meet all my needs. Or should I just save more money and buy a brand new one. LOWRANCE Factory Inspected and Certified Demo Unit; ELITE-5 HDI with 83/200 Tran Mt. Transducer and US Base Map Cartography
