Wife and I have a Sam's Club Master Card and we get 5% on gas, 3% on dining and travel, and 1% on everything else. They will mail you a check every February that is made out to Sams Club and all you...
Just what do you mean by "old school?" :laugh: I am still running a 24p Raker on my 1991 Rude XP 175. Does great until I put my brother (buffet kinda guy) and all his gear in the boat, then it...
:thumb up2:Good looking rig. Enjoy!!!
I have spent quite a bit of time in the very first boat on your list (Ranger 185VS.) Very nice boat and has a very wide deck for all day comfort up front. The one I spend most of my time in was a...
I've always said Philpot is like fishing in a bucket. The banks are steep and the depth seems to drop straight off. You might be in 25'+ of water 25' from the bank. I always enjoy fishing there...
I tend to agree with Mike. My last two boats have had a pro air system and I will run that all day once I put the first fish in the livewell. I have found many times the fish are actually hanging...
I still have an old evinrude trolling motor that came off my boat when I bought it. It doesn't work as the brushes are bad but the rest of the motor and parts are still good to my knowledge. I...
I think I understand his pain. My 1992 286 has the single fuel tank in the center and the only way to access the pumps is to remove the tank and I'm not sure that is entirely possible without some...
Wife and I are closing on a new home in about 2 weeks. The new home has a 3 acre lot with about 2 acres of grass to mow. My old Craftsman 42" bit the dust at the end of last summer and I have been...
If I am not mistaken you can only claim verifiable expenses equal to the amount of winnings when it comes to hobby expenses. For example: you received a 1099 for $1500 in earnings from a...
I have a 1992 Sprint 286 with a 175XP Evinrude. I have owned it for the last two years and it has been flawless so far. The previous owner didn't use it much but took care of it. My only...
As much as I hate to admit it I only have a Walmart Cover for mine. I think it is the size C cover and it fits well with the pedestal seats up. I wouldn't tow with the cover but it serves my needs...
Is that the hull only?
Any idea on what the weight of this boat is? Just trying to get a rough idea of it. Thanks.
Sorry I hadn't been on in a couple of days due to work but thanks for finding the old post on the deck extension. I was planning on locating it that evening or the next day but it has been a week of...
Mine has 5 gauges in the console. The large gauges are the speed and tach. The Three small gauges are the volt, trim, and fuel. I just can't remember which one of the three is in which hole off...
I have a 1992 286 Pro. I'll have to see if I can find a pic or take one the next time I uncover it from it's winter blanket which will hopefully be soon. What gauge do you think you are missing. ...
I don't know if the front deck changed or not between a 1992 286 and 1998 286 but I put up a post a while back giving all the dimensions for the factory deck extension that came in my boat. My boat...
Keep in mind when making reservations that you must cancel at least 24 hours in advance if you decide not to go or you will be charged $10 per person.
I wear my glock 23 in an Alien Gear IWB holster right over my back right pocket.
Blowing through that red light could also get you or someone else hurt or killed. Just because you have seen the emergency vehicle coming the other motorist that have a green light may not have....
One of the things drivers do that aggravates me the most is when they pull partly out of the roadway and stop in a blind curve. We are then forced to cross the center line on a two lane road and pass...
It is hard to believe it has been almost a year since my baby girl was born. She was born 12/23/2014 so we didn't get a chance to see Santa for her first Christmas because we didn't come home from...
