Hi Guys! Every winter I try to buy a new watertoy [tube, ski's, etc] for the cottage, this year I am leaning at either the new Obrien "Barf Ball" which looks like a blast, or, biting the bullet and buying one of those "Air Chairs" which also look pretty cool, but, slightly more dangerous...

They are banned almost everywhere [at least "up here" they are] A lot of injured people, lawsuits, stuff like that. Talking to the people who have done it, apparantly the MAIN problem was the guy driving the boat, it takes a real subtle throttle adjustments to "fly and land" safely. I was told...

I would lean towards skiing first, I started when I was around 6, long before wakeboarding was "big". I found its much easier to get "up" on a pair of wide skii's then on a wakeboard, although, children learn much faster than adults, so, it might be easier for a child. Check Ebay and your local...

Yes, they have been banned in most area's. You still see the odd one on Ebay, but, now that they are banned the prices are more than you could buy them for "new" I looked at buying one myself, then checked out a few YOUTUBE video's of them crashing ]-: I dont mind having my fat ar$e thrown...

I am not sure how far you want to travel, but, there is a Poker Run in Alexandria Bay, NY every year. And if you want to cross the border the 1000 Islands run is HUGE! Michael

HI Nathan Yep, I keep an eye on Ebay, and Kijiji locally, have seen some good parts, but, a lot of them are used, and, as I am sure you know "used" electronics can sometimes be a real gamble, especially on "Ebay" I have found that the fellas that list there stuff on "dedicated" boating sites...

Thanks Nathan! I was afraid that was gonna be the answer, but, at least I know now, wish I had specified that I wanted the model with the Sonar, but, its only a 24ft boat and I have a sounder, so, I should be fine. I had a quick look at the back of the plotter, there is only a "pwr"...

Thanks! I guess "nice" is relative, my old "resin bucket" isn't much compared to some of the stuff out there, but, its mine and when your on the water it really doesn't matter, as long as your having fun [-: I would post some pics, but, I am not that "tech savy" [I was lucky to figure out...

I agree! I have one of those SportsStuff "Fiestas" its 12ft by 12ft and I used a small 5 gallon compressor to fill it, took FOREVER! Its even more "enjoyable?" when you have an 8 year old asking you every 15 seconds "Can I use it now, can I use it now, can I use it now??" LOL!! I will try...

Hello Everyone My name is Michael, I just joined the site and already have found A LOT of good reading and information! I live just East of Toronto, Ontario, but, have a cottage on the South Shore of Wolfe Island, in the 1000 Islands. I am located due North of "Millens Bay, NY" Near the...

Hi Guys! I am fixing up an old 15ft Tempest runabout for the kids to use for tubing and splashing around in. The boat ran great "years ago", but, a few years ago I was lucky enough to buy a Baja 24ft Outlaw and the old Tempest just kinda sat....; Anyway, with gas prices where they are [and...

HEY GUYS! I was lucky enough to get a new Raymarine A50 chartplotter for Christmas, I haven't mounted it yet, but, have tried the "demonstration" feature and it seems like a good overall unit. I notice there is a A50 "D" model which includes sonar/depth options, I was wondering if its...

Hey Guys! Kinda off topic "here", but, I thought I would throw it out here: In the summer I have a little niece who comes to the cottage for a few weeks and I have a large "SportsStuff" raft/floating island that I inflate along with a few other water toys for her to use. I have been using a...
