I have been a houseboat owner at Lees Ford Marina for over 20 years. During that time, I have always appreciated the job water patrol has done to keep the lake a safe place to boat. This year, we have observed a significant change in the role of water patrol. Rather than being out on the water look...

I can tell you all about the process of US Coast Guard Documentation vs KY state licensing, but as far as the tax rate differences, that would be public record and there is some variation from county to county. Also, the documented vessel is basically in a "self valuation" category, with people bein...

Thanks to its center console design, it's a versatile platform for any waterborne activity. Use it as a fishing boat, a ski boat, or a party boat. Speci...

I can't believe we are talking about installing a boat lift in February. The first brand new one of the season. Seems like it is usually about April before we get back to the lake. Not this year!

I pay to have mine done. For what they charge, to me, it makes no sense to fool with it. I will tell you this: We replaced a radiator in my rollback truck (chevy 350). I decided to flush the engine out as well as the heater. Ran a garden hose in the lower radiator hose and left the top one off to al...

E, You should really drain the engine and manifolds of all water before adding your antifreeze. That is the way all the professional shops do it. If not, you run the risk of the ~2 gallons of water remaining in the engine block to dilute the antifreeze too much to properly protect the engine. There ...

Tell me why TV news cameramen and TV doctors need to be over there, and then when they get sick, come back here?

It is the stupidest crap I have ever seen.

Billy Hale @ 4B Marine can do it. He is in the back of Salyers building, right down by the marina.

Let me know if I should get the key to him.

BTW, those look to be 24 series battery boxes, not 27's.

So how long has it been down this time, or is it just me?

I would not be surprised to hear that Alli2 would be in play this year, now that Dr Peck died this winter. I don't think his children will want to keep it, but you never know.

The parachute idea would probably not work because of the amount of force it would exert on the hull and the time it takes to get one to deploy, especially if wet. It would no doubt rip the transom out of the boat.

The problem is not with the Skater brand alone. The boat that flipped the same way at the Desert Storm Poker Run was a DCB (Dave's Custom Boats) very similar to George's. Little bigger and more HP I would guess.

Have not heard anything about Jeff Asbell as to family. Mom-Dad, Wife, Children ? He has a 28 year old son that will end up assumedly taking over his excavation business, his environmental spill response business, his airport and any other holdings. I don't know of any other family as of now. I tur...

George, in the gray DCB 35 footer, is a customer of mine. He was the blue group flag boat. His boat is capable of about 125+ or so I would guess. He dropped the flag at about Difficulty, due to congestion and water condition. He wrote somewhere he was doing about 60-70 when the flag was up. The blue...

INFJ Wolf.

Interesting.

In the first video, yes, I have seen that boat. It is currently beached on the shoreline between Mill Springs and Fishing Creek on the North shore. It is an 80's era Checkmate bowrider, about 19' that someone has dumped in the lake to try and get rid of. It has West Virginia registration numbers on ...

Let's talk about the July 4th holiday, weather and lake conditions. This coming late week and weekend are historically about the busiest we will see on the lake. This year, the weather is going to be rainy leading up to the weekend... really rainy... like 3" of rain over the next couple days and fla...

The trouble with getting a "rate quote" is they use averages. It depends on the card what the rate ends up being. A Visa Gold card issued by Capital One carries a totally different rate than a Visa card from an issuers bank, and that is different again from a Visa debit card used with a pin vs witho...

I have been debating it for larger purchases. The seller absorbs all the costs and liability when taking a credit card for anything sold. 3% (or therabouts) can add up pretty quickly on a large ticket, and it is basically going to the user to pay for their points program to begin with. I wish I coul...

So, let me guess. You winterized it yourself? The pump and strainer you circled is the raw water pump and strainer for the A/C system. It uses lake water to run across the condenser coils to either cool or heat the cabin. The red valve and open end is probably where it would have had antifreeze run ...

Happy birthday E. Sorry I am late. I don't know how I missed it by a couple days.

E, John Meincken the company accountant has been in charge since Bill left.

I have heard that Greg Kinney (one of the owners) will run the marina himself this year. No idea if it is true or not yet.

I wonder what this looks like today?

We had wind in excess of 60MPH this morning when the front blew through. It only lasted about 10 minutes.

Thanks Guys!

By the way, some think I am half ASSed, but I am trying to be the whole thing. LOL

Have a happy one Chris.

The Skyway bridge has some pretty good current running around it at certain tides. Make sure you have plenty of gas because things look closer than they are. It gets shallow a pretty good ways from shore on the south side. Visit the island out in the mouth of Tampa Bay that has the light house and P...

Ship propellers. The motors just happen to be on there probably for a split load.

I am a GM guy at heart. I only drive the Dodge because of the Cummins, but Dodge and the government has put so many parameters on it in their body that I am wondering about it anymore.

I guess I missed what the original complaint was that went unresolved with the Dodge. My 2010 Dodge 3500 cab and chassis 4 dr tried to burn itself up in the McDonalds parking lot in the spring. The power distribution box under the hood had a computer board overheat and catch fire. I got the fire out...

I had not seen those shots of the Poker Run accident from Dolphin before.

People have sent me a couple pictures, but not as many as you might expect.

Found out lots of other more serious charges were filed. That just happened to be one of the lesser ones in with the mix. They were allowing catching over their limits, keeping short fish, and a host of other things not in keeping with law and professional guides. I would say there will end up a few...

After asking a few questions around, I have found there is more to the story than a few fishing guides being arrested for throwing fish carcass in the water. That just happens to be the item they SAID they were arrested for because it sound rediculous. There were actually multiple charges.

I am having a hard time understanding what they are supposedly doing from that message. Care to spell it out for me? I did hear a story of a fishing guide being ticketed(arrested?) for disposing of a fish carcass into the lake at the cleaning station at Alligator 2 about a month ago. I guess that is...

I just have to snicker at anything owned by Hillman being named "Big Horn". LOL

He won because a lot of us voted for Ross Perot, splitting the popular vote, thus we got the less popular Clinton.

I am going to post this here, as well as send an update to all my member policy guidelines for the 2013 boating season. Due to logistical issues and other circumstances, MARINE ASSIST will no longer go into Jack's Branch proper in Harmon Creek during any of the major event weekends to assist boaters...

Chris, I know you have probably already thought about this, but you can sell this idea to restaraunts with you selling advertising on them. You guarantee you will change them if they get damaged and you sell advertising space on the wrap to pay for it on a yearly contract etc. It has to be the right...

Well, looks like I have to order E a new stripper pole.... er, uh grab rail....no wait....uh stern light for his boat! That's what it was a stern light. You never know what someone else may think it is as they climb across your new big swim platform. LOL

I have raised sunken pontoons in the past. Most pontoons are open all the way. Some of them have a separate compartment for the very front V shaped part. Most of the ones with U shaped logs are foam filled, but they get heavy over time. As long as a pontoon does not have a hole in the TOP of it wher...

Do you think I should figure out a way to mount the extended swim platform on springs until you figure how to back into a slip?? LOL

His wife said to him, "YOU IDIOT, I told you that was a HOUSE BOAT, not a BOAT HOUSE!"

Witnesses said the last thing they heard was Bo Duke yelling YEEEEEEEE HAW!

Operator stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

According to Bill, there was a pair of shore power cords plugged into an outlet leading to a boat. The power cord has spent a lot of time in the water and failed, shooting sparks under the dock. That set the dock floatation on fire. There was damage to a section of dock and an enclosure on one of th...
