Posting this suggestion on behalf of @markpotter
How about you helping outboard 2-stroke guys understand the use out which oil to use and why…do I really need full synthetic oil? How about boat trailer tires and how often they need to be replaced…I think there is a lack if understanding about quality and how they differ from car tires.
Let me…[Read more]

Team member Don ( @costtoomuch ) added this excellent note on another BoaterInput forum and I thought it deserves consideration by the advisory team:
Just a quick note of an observation of all my boating friends that were looking for a new boat and have experienced Boat Shows for the last 3 years. The price of boats are out of control. It…[Read more]

Hi Don, you are absolutely correct. I occasionally get involved in research studies on behalf of the overall boating industry and I can tell you that rise of new boat prices has been a big issue and major topic of discussion. Part of this, but certainly not all, is due to new technology. For example, the need to add catalytic converters to st…[Read more]

Thanks Lary for your suggestion. Yes, the layout is critical to boat purchase decisions. Could you expand on your idea? Are you thinking about feedback on what people look for in terms of layout? Reactions to layouts of various popular boat brands/models? Or something else entirely?

I would like to see a comparison of boat layouts Alum and Fiberglass Fishing and Runabouts.

Just a quick note of an observation of all my boating friends that were looking for a new boat and have experienced Boat Shows for the last 3 years. The price of boats are out of control. It certainly has stopped myself and my friends from buying new. If we were to buy, used is the first place to look.

Here are some initial thoughts for topics to include in 2020:
- How to properly winterize your boat
- Top rated trolling motors (and initial impressions of the new Garmin Force and Lowrance Ghost models)
- How fast should your boat theoretically go and would changing the prop help?
- Have you, or are you, planning on attending a boat show this…

Jerry Mona commented on the post, Best Boat Wax: Unbiased Review 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Thanks for your comments. Combining the 885 paste with a polymer sounds good in theory but I wonder how well the polymer would bond to the boat if there is already a coat of wax on it. My guess is that it might […]

@dave Thank you for joining the BoaterInput community. I love that you included a picture of you with your (North River) boat. Very nice looking rig.
You don’t see many boats around like that around the country. I suspect you live in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon or Washington).
Thanks again for joining the site. Let me know if you have…[Read more]

Yes, I am out in Oregon. We have had several bad months of weather and I can’t make it out. So I have over 500 pounds of ice made and I have buffed the boat all out and is nice and shiny and ready to go fishing.-
It has been a while since I did boater focus groups in Oregon. But, last time I was there, nearly all participants considered it a well-kept secret for boaters/anglers (and they didn’t particularly want more people from California to find out ;).
Sorry to hear about the bad weather. This year has been much better than recent years down…

I am originally from Joliet Illinois, game fish in the 60s and 70s was carp for me. I would sell them to folks that like to eat them. In Oregon I mainly chased salmon, then Oregon made it so you could only buy a combined harvest tag and I started chasing the bottom fish, halibut and tuna. All I do now in ocean fish and last yer was the best…

I had a similar experience. Dad used to take us fishing with nothing more than a cane pole and corn, hot dogs or his famous “dough-ball” bait for carp. That is where my love of fishing first started. Now, I am a hard-core bass guy (although I also like to slalom ski and wakeboard with my other boat during warmer weather).
Catching a big…

You are welcome Greta and thank you for your question. Yes, if the colors have faded, oxidation has likely occurred. But, depending on the severity, there is a good chance that you could restore or greatly […]
