  2. What got you started into Boating?

    in Boating and Fishing Discussion

    Posted

    When I was a kid my parents rented a small boat to go crabbing a few times. Dad was hooked, first boat was a 16' then moved up 24' - 31' - 31' with twins and his last was a 34' double cabin Pacemaker.

    Dad fell and broke his hip and never revovered well enough to continue boating. I purchased my first boat 14' Crestliner then a 18' Citation that I kept for 19 years and going on my 7/8th year with my 22'.

    this offer is now closed!!

    NO MORE REQUESTS!!

    Because we are so pleased to be the newest Reel Boating sponsor, I will send a free 8 oz bottle of Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment to the first 12 people who send a PM with a shipping address, If you are #13, you are sol.

    All I ask is that you use it and then report back to this thread, posting your thoughts: good, bad or indifferent.

    Get busy

    Bill

    Well I can now report back. Winter, kitchen remodel and crappy spring weather kept me off the water too long.

    I filled my 92 gallon tank with 1 - 8 oz bottle of Star Tron back in November and then I take the boat for a ride to run the mixture through the engine. After sitting for 5 months the boat runs like I just fueled up with fresh fuel.

    I must admit that I have been using Star Tron to winterize my boat like this for years now (with E-10 fuel) with the same results! I always like a freebee :605_thumbs_up:

    Thanks Bill

    I liked when the main page would show the date and time of the last post, not a number. That way you can see if a new post was made without opening it up.

    (* Icon 1284063742) shows on the main page and after you open it shows (* Yesterday, 09:04 PM)

    Just my 2 cents :rb-rules:

    I received my bottle yesterday.

    I always use StarTron when I put the boat away for the winter, November - March. I fill the tank adding a heavy dose of StarTron to 90 gallons of E-10 fuel and in the spring it starts and runs like I just filled it with fresh fuel. Now with all the E-10 problems I read about with clogged injectors and VST filters I'll be adding it to every tank through out the year.

    Thanks Bill!!!

  14. Looking For Tires

    in Boating and Fishing Discussion

    Posted

    I put Michelin LTX MS on my Ford Explorer and after 21,000 miles they still look new. They ride smooth and quiet. My 2004 GMC Yukon is close to needing new tires and I will replace them with the Michelin LTX MS.

    My local Sams Club has Michelin LTX MS for $198 each and a rebate of $70 off the purchase of 4 tires. I think mounting and balance is $15 per tire.
