    Where to buy?

    Hey guys, trying to find a good running USED 9.9 or 15 HP OB for my boat... Can anyone direct me to a website or two that may have some used outboards for sale (other than Craigslist or Ebay). I've been searching daily and haven't found anything that fits my needs and budget. Am looking to...

    Me too, although it would be all downhill from there. How do you top something like that?

    Rod Rack - Side Project Completed

    The garage door is a hurricane reinforced garage door. It has those metal ribs on it to make it less flexible when faced with high winds. I just made use of the space! Keep in mind, having items like hurricane impact windows and doors down here in Florida helps with your homeowners insurance...

    Rod Rack - Side Project Completed

    Well, it depends. If you fill up the line by just cranking away on a really stiff Flouro, then it will promote line memory. But anything under 8lb test, and all braided lines, i just tie on an arbor knot to the reel post and then crank away just as you said. The spools spin freely on that...

    Rod Rack - Side Project Completed

    If not on my boat, my rods were always piled up in a corner of my garage. Anytime I wanted to pull them out for a trip, line and hooks would end up making my rods into one big mess. I needed a rod rack, but didn't want to pay $50 to get one, plus, I have very limited space in my garage. So...

    What BBQ Should I Buy?

    +1 For Weber. I have had mine for over 10 years, and I still love it. Has served me well. Also have an additional small charcoal Weber that was my dad's in the early 80's that I take on camping trips. Still works awesome.

    Looking for a camera

    Jim - Here are links to a couple of videos that i took with the zx3 playsport. forgive me on the shaky camera work on the first video, but it will show you the underwater release of a chain pickerel. the other video is the boat being launched in the everglades...

    Looking for a camera

    I'm not sure what make or model it is, but I just saw a new camera at costco that is comperable to the zx3, and it is waterproof. I can't remember who makes it though. I'm happy with mine though. I guess though since you want that level of zoom, you may need to look elsewhere. I used to have...

    Looking for a camera

    Jim, I bought the Kodak ZX3 Playsport (i don't work for kodak but i'm going to say a lot of nice things here about the product). It is as small as a blackberry phone, and is waterproof up to 3 meters (about 10 feet). It is full 1080i HD, or you can scale it back to 720i or 720p. I bought the...

    Robr3004's Tracker 1436 Mod

    You should post photos of your first fish you catch on your new boat if you haven't already done that... I'm excited for you dude. I love my tin, but the idea is to eventually upgrade to a bass boat and keep the tin for the electric only water bodies.

    In 1994, my mom got sick of paying for haircuts every week or so. She bought me my own set of Wahl trimmers for $75 and I've been using them ever since. Its hard to screw up a bald buzzcut, even when doing it by yourself!

    Anyone know of a good raindance to do? We are suffering from a drought of epic proportions down here in south florida. Yesterday, I was driving by a residential canal and I saw docked boats sitting in mud! Everglades is down about 4 feet and Lake Okeechobee is only at 10 feet right now, with...

    Baitcaster reel for beginners

    I ended up deciding on an Abu Garcia Black Max. Got a plug and practiced extensively in the yard. Bird nested it a lot in the beginning. Now much better, but still not great. My brother got a AG Silver Max. We both love them. Looking to get a Revo this summer. Going to keep my best two...

    I've driven down the same road every day for the past 4 years. Yesterday, I look over and there staring at me was a West Marine store. Guy says they've been there over 10 years. Can't believe I''ve missed a store like that all this time. And it is less than a mile from my house! I think i...

    Similar thing happened to me... Got a new Rod and reel and kept it in my truck for about two months... when i was finally asked about it, i just told her "that rod? i've had that for quite a while!" technically, i wasn't lying to her!

    On my lunchbreak from work... I'm actually wondering if I really like the food at "Firehouse Subs Shop" or do I like going there because it is located right next to Dick's Sporting Goods where I go in everyday and seem to find something I just have to have in my tackle box??? Is there such a...
