    Exhaust Fumes in Engine Compartment

    Call goes out: mandate boat licensing. Should they do it or not, If you really think

    That's funny because this was the first year that I actually saw a patrol boat doing safety checks where we boat. Although gas prices were better this past year then in previous years, the weather was just terrible which was our biggest factor with regards to any reduction of boaters. For the...
