    non boating dog question. invisible fence

    I have had one we used with a terrier (very Stubborn) who got zapped once and never tried to cross the wore again. It takes patience and some training to get the dog smart about the fence system. Currently my next door neighbor has a very energetic, excitable labrador that will not consider for...

    USS NEW YORK (LPD 21) Commissioning

    From what I understand they are going to use it like they did the old LST's during the Vietnam war in the Mekong Delta. A mother ship for spec ops guys. We have spent a ton of money and a whole bunch of time getting her rigged out, de-roached etc.

    USS NEW YORK (LPD 21) Commissioning

    Charlie, did you know they finally decommissioned the Ponce? It has been turned over to MSC to operate as a forward deployed mother ship for coastal patrol etc...... It's in the yards now in Norfolk having required rehab/repairs done.

    1000 generator

    forget which post but there were pictures on here somewhere that had the generator and the A/C in one of those huge rubbermaid blue storage bins that you can get at the all things Chinese store (Wal-Mart) for less than $20.00.

    Scotty Downrigger mounting - gunwale or handrail?

    If Da Nag is talking about the hatches that are made for holding the plano plastic tackle boxes that is a fantastic idea! I may have to go and see what I can do in my Bay boat now :D :D

    Scotty Downrigger mounting - gunwale or handrail?

    I know that you can buy the hatches in various shapoes and sizes at cabelas and bass pro shops. They are very easy to install for anyone that is a little handy with tools. Th edremel tool actually has a router attachment and it is plunge capable. You could actually use it as a precision circle...

    Oh no, how could this happen?

    I want to show her both but she is hesitant. I think she thinks that once I step foot on one it will be a done deal and I'll never be home on weekends. Thank you both very much. With any luck I'll be taking you both up on your offers in the not so distant future....

    I would love to check out the 25 without having to drive to Alliance. I have been on Osprey,a 22 and it was very nice. I need to get my wife on a larger boat than the 22. Have you been on a Tomcat as well?

    What Options would you like on a New 22 cruiser

    I would like to see a better web site from the manufacturer with more photos of the boats and accessories. The average Joe that finds the site isn't going to surf the web for other sites to see options available or what you folks have done to your boats. More pics on the website would probably...
