Grease on the carpet

I have a couple of grease spots on my carpet, caused by my boat lift winch sitting above my bow.

I’ve tried everything, including TotallyAwesome cleaner, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Favorite food for a day on the Toon

We are heading to the lake on Saturday and we are taking some friends with us. They have 2 kids who have a great time with my little ones.

My question is what do you like to bring with you for a full day on the lake? Is there a favorite food item that works well on your boat? Of course, we will have plenty of “cold beverages” and I do have a grill so any suggestions would be great.

Hot Spot at Lake Norman

Hey Carl and you other Lake Normanites —

I’m coming to Charlotte on Saturday 6/20 for an all day professional certification exam. I’m going to need a cold beer to recover after I’m finished. What are the hot marina’s on Lake Norman?

Help Newbie buy a pontoon boat

I’ve got the bug. ?I live in northern Illinois and plan to
cruise the Chain of Lakes. ?I’ve seen some pontoon boats
locally made by Princecraft and Sun Tracker and have some
questions.

1) ?With so many manufacturers, which ones are the best?
?I don’t need a Mercedes but I’d like a quality boat in the
22-24 foot range. How do Princecraft and Sun Tracker stack
up??

2) Am I right that a lot of these boats are made in Indiana?
?Are good deals to be had if I drive to Indiana and pick it
up? ?I have a Honda Ridgeline capable of towing 5500 lbs…is
this enough?

3) I own 2 Honda’s and a jon boat with a Honda 20 HP
fourstroke…I’m drinking the Honda coolaid. ?Is a Honda
fourstroke in the 100 HP range a good motor for a pontoon boat?

4) Is there any questions I should have asked? ?What is your
answer?

Thanks,

Steve

This picture made me cry…

A friend of mine just had his barn burn down. Lost were a couple of cars, several sleds and a Pontoon

The boat just sort of wasn’t there when it finally cooled down enough for us to look around. I mean there it was…GONE.

So we went scrabbling around in the muddy ashes and we found it….

Now we gotta sift through it a bit more and recycle the bulk of it with the beer cans.

This is no BS. Possibly the saddest I’ve ever seen my buddy.
