You always want to keep a full tank regardless of which fuel you use. The smaller the air space the, less evaporation and room for moisture. I would like to run rec fuel, but it is only 90 octane....

I have the NOCO Genius too, works great for me. I have a combo of SLA for starting and lithium’s for house and trolling motor.
I have an Ulterra, and have thought about doing this to show off. But, it’s way too glitchy for me to try it. On good days, I love the Ulterra. Some days though, not so much. Last time out it was...
2021 Custom Build
Lots of prop boats here, so I thought I would post some info on my new jet boat. I drew up the layout and had it built locally. It’s a 2066, .190 hull with 1/2” UHMW, 250hp...
My new 36v 100a lithium is the size of 2 group 24s and only weighs 62lbs. Man I love that thing!
I have a smaller riveted boat that I use for electric only lakes mostly. And, l have a larger .190 welded jet boat. They both have their pluses and minuses. To me smaller boats are OK with rivets,...
I have done this a few times, usually when building a new house. I normally refinance the current house to get operating cash for the new build/buy. Once the new house is ready, I just get a...
I wouldn’t live and die by the PE, but I certainly would look at it when considering a purchase. When it rises well into the hundreds or even thousands, the price of the stock is driven much more by...
I would spread it around. Some etfs or mutual funds, some individual stock, and keep some of it cash for a rainy day.
I like, and have some TSLA. But, I would be careful with it. It’s PE is still...
I was on the fence about Helix vs Solix for months before I finally bought 2 Helixs. Being able to vary the screen split size ended up being the deciding factor. Most of the time I’m using a 60/40,...
Not being able to adjust the screen split size is the main reason I went with the Helix instead of a Solix. It figures they are finally doing something about it after I got everything setup.
I...
Hauling a truck camper and towing a boat actually works very well. It’s my favorite way to camp. Your issue is you need a bigger truck. A 3/4 ton would do fine with what you are proposing. If you...
Yep, this sucks. I was planning on launching at Riley’s Lock/Seneca this weekend. Looks like I’ll go further up river.
The truck, passengers, camper and misc will likely be well overweight. Including things like jacks, tie-downs, brackets, and bed mats. You’ll be even more overweight. The Palomino is pretty low...
When I setup my current boat, I kept the engine, electronics, and trolling motor separated to minimize any interference. I run a group 27 just for the engine and starting. Then, I have a separate...
We were up there camping with our boat a week ago. Stayed at the MD State Campground, it’s really nice. If you you are camping there, you can leave your boat in the water overnight at their dock if...
Like you’ve decided, rent one first. I wanted to be able to tow the boat when we camp, so we have truck camper. It is cozy, but works well for us most of the time. We use it on shorter trips a lot....
I checked out a number of batteries, and ended up buying a couple directly from a manufacturer in China. This was partly due to dimensions. They put together a 36v 100ah that would fit in my console,...
I have an Ulterra 112 and a 36v 100ah lithium. I can troll for about 6hrs at 3 mph on a calm day. This is with a Kipawa 3 blade prop. Just messing around here and there, I can go a few days without...
Picked up my new boat last week. The builder posted a video of it on Facebook….

With it declining, I dumped my XOM a couple of years ago. I just don’t see oil stocks as being a great long term investment anymore. Much against the advice of my financial adviser and, in...
It all depends on how you are use to living and where you live. Lots of people out there trying to survive on minimum wage jobs. If they had a million dollars, and were able to manage it correctly,...
I’m expecting delivery of my new boat in a few days. It’s a custom built 21’ aluminum CC bay/river jet boat. I fish the rocky Potomac and Susky, as well as the Chesapeake. I liked the Xpress, but...
Here’s a picture of my 1972 Sears 1436 Jon Boat. I rebuilt a few years ago. It has center steering with a 1972 25hp Johnson, 55lb Minn Kota, completely decked with many goodies hidden below. To help...
I have one on my 14’ Jon boat and, I just ordered one for my new 22’ jet boat. Don’t need them all of the time. But, they are great to have sometimes.
