  1. I have a 17" Magma round party size and I carry a 5gal propane fiberglass tank. Works great and I can see through the tank to see how much fuel I have left. It's sometimes a pain to keep it from moving around in the rod holder and to keep it level.
  2. Hi Wiley, I noticed today that in the top right corner of the layout where your username is located with a dropdown box, that you have advertising there that hides the dropdown of the username box, so there is no way to read or click on the member options. Didn't see any other place to post this.... Hmmm, I checked the same thing while in this forum and it works ok - I think the ads rotate through there so maybe one is in front? Weird.
  3. ...give us dirty laundry... Frickin' leaks......
  4. Man, don't try to read this article after a long day at work, unless you have a helmet with face guard on it.
  5. Wonder how many trucks he went through to perfect that
  6. I don't have any problem with my Garmin handheld (iQue 3600) right next to a window - only problem I have is the attendants telling me to turn it off "please". The GPS must have a clear view of the sky. There are lists of airlines that allow GPS but I guess the attendants never read the list because I've always been asked to turn it off.
  7. Agreed Also agree that the vocals were a little lame but the show overall was decent IMHO. Good light/laser show. At least there was no wardrobe malfunction
  8. Thanks for posting this - been looking for a deal on these for a while. Ordered 2.
  9. My 230 has the same pulpit, it is "bolt on" and the railing was made for it too, so obviously done at the factory. Nice to see another 230 around. Where you located Tstone?
  10. Let us know the outcome - I'll be following this thread.
  11. Thanks for taking the time to post this. I don't get the windlass on this boat - does it raise up or something? Otherwise it would be a real PITA.
  12. Did GM ever make a car in that brand?
  13. Rick here - from Sarasota, FL. Been here pretty much my whole life except the 10 years I spent in the Army - bounced around to a few "scenic" spots while in there. Bought a '71 170 Aquasport in '88 and have done some rebuilding on it and it's my primary fishing machine. I do a lot (well, wish it were more) bay fishing as we have a lot of bay here. I fish for anything that'll bite - mostly artificial and catch Red's, Specks and an occasional Snook. Bought a '92 230 Aquasport Explorer in '06 for the wife because the 170 was "too bouncy". It is like going from a VW bug into a Cadillac Escalade. In fact I can almost put my 170 in the back of the 230 being it's cockpit is wide open 13' from helm to engine. We use it primarily for boat camping and have it set up pretty nicely for that. I also troll a bit in the gulf in her for cobia and whatever else will bite. I Admin a boating website classicaquasport.com - it's a niche site for a brand boat and the only one on the net. We have under 2000 members, so it's pretty small. It's a very laid back site, like this one, that's very helpful for Aquasport owners and a few other classic boat lines. Glad to find another laidback site that I don't have to get all pumped up just to walk in the door.
  14. Looks like an easy knot to tie - thanks.
  15. A cold winter day on the water - '92 Aquasport 230 Explorer - 250 Yammy original horses. This boat is as much a part of me as well... anything I can think of - had it about 22 years - '71 Aquasport 170 - 115 Johnson (3rd motor I've had on it and hopefully the last). Nice part is they're both paid for
  16. SWEET!! I don't see any pole holders on her though
