  1. @MuskokaKy kinda funny on Kijiji I added it to my favourites yesterday when I saw it and I just got notice it’s due to expire today, they must have it posted for 24 hours, listing said it was only 10 hours old when I saw it.
  2. I agree with the above statement, I went into post secondary education thinking that is exactly what I wanted to do, but after working one summer I thought no way! You are just helping other people enjoy time on the water and spending much less of your time doing it. Best thing is to find something that allows you the flexibility to spend time out on the water and of course the income to do so!
  3. I ski with a buddy who is a car guy and he has always quoted the “Fast and Furious” line “I live my life a 1/4 mile at a time, for those 10 seconds or less I am free” I have adapted it for skiing and say “I live my life 6 bouys at a time for those 16.95 seconds I’m free” just wondering if anyone else has any movie related quotes for skiing.
  4. I had this happen to my 1997 196 as well, it was the intake at the bottom of the fuel tank had become clogged. The boat would run fine at 20-22 mph but once it was over 30 mph it would cut out and lose power.
  5. Many years ago we moved one that sat on top of two floating docks. Was done on a day with no wind at all. We started to tow with a boat but quickly discovered they even just in gear the flat front of the docks was going to submarine and we risked the lift going to the bottom so my dad and uncle ended up just walking it along in waist deep water. We had to move it over 2 km (over a mile) but it worked, just took awhile!
  6. So way up here in Canada we’re supposed to be looking forward to some slightly warmer weather this time of year! Most years I can hope to get out skiing for a set at the end of April or early May, well today we had a serious ice storm with high wind which split a tree that ended up on our boat lift!! I guess the silver lining is that the boat was not sitting in it!

  7. I agree with a lot of the above comments while it is sad to see the mag go after I believe almost 40 years, it has been lacking in content the last 6-10 issues. I did still enjoy finding it in the mailbox especially in these long cold Canadian winters!!
