Years and years ago, a tow vehicle was a basic truck, nothing flashy or fancy, and a trailer was just that, a way to tow and launch your boat. Well, times have changed! Trucks and SUVs are a thing of beauty. Not only are they comfortable, spacious, and luxurious, they have many safety features that no one could even have imagined 50

Benjamin Franklin once said "Lost time is never found again." This sentiment could not ring more true to me at this time in my life. I work full time, am a loving wife and dedicated mother to an “all too quickly growing” nine month old little girl. My husband and I have agreed to make it a point not to sweat the small

There is popular country song out right now that I wanted to share with you, “Just Fishin’” by Trace Adkins.

Wow! What an amazing early spring we are having! Most of us Great Lakes boaters have been blessed with relatively mild weather.

The hustle and bustle of life can often consume us. We often feel like our “To Do List” is ever growing, and time is just ticking away. You finish one project and think of three more to do.

“You are not going to find the ideal boat. You are not even going to have it if you design it from scratch.” - Carl Lane. Such a silly quote, but oh, how true it is! It is hilarious to hear people use the analogy “B.O.A.T: Bring On Another Thousand” and the truth it represents. However, that being said, can

Mark Twain said it best: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
