Hey I'm not sure everyone knew this, but you can register your trailer in Maine typically for a savings. I did it a few years back with MBI Trailers up in Maine. I’m guessing you can still do it now. I’m from RI and I know it’s not illegal to do it here. I know it saved me a bunch of money so I wanted to share this with everyone.

Hope that Helps,

So lets use this section to discuss anything not realted to your Doo; feel free to just comment on your day or weather or sports or whatever.......

So how is everyone's weekend going; got a good amount of rain down here the past days and hope to get more next week; as long as it does not rain on April 25-26 I am happy (I have friends comming in from out of town)

First off, just back from a 2 week R&R. Didn't go anywhere except the local lakes (Caesar Creek & East Fork). So a shout out to the 5 other Sea Doos I saw on Caesar Creek.

For those of you who have asked about top speed, I had my 2010 Challenger SE (255HP) clocking at 58 speedo/56 GPS with just me and a half tank of gas. Let's call it 57 since neither is 100% accurate. Felt like I was flying when standing up. When balls to the wall like that it does guzzle the gas. But I could maintain 45 at half power.

Now the question. I am looking to buy a spare tire for the trailer. Currently it has ST185/80 D13's on it. Almost all I can find locally are ST175's. One Marina has a ST185 in stock, but they want $60 more for it. I couple of the tire places said ST175's should be fine on it. I only want it for a spare, but as I would NEVER mix and match on an auto, I was looking for some opinions on the sizing question.

This was posted on another site. Kind of funny.

 

 

 

Dear all, the manual is saying that flushing the intercooler is nessessary. The manual is containg a very brief discription and a small, unsharp black and white picture. Can somebody please post a
picture or youtube video how to flush the intercooler. Thank you very much. Ralph from Germany

So, what I thought would be my first weekend with my Challenger for the season was canceled due to all the boat ramps being closed. I drove up to Caesar Creek Lake early Saturday morning (without the Doo) to make sure the ramps were open. What I observed was the docks more than 50 yards out in the water. Of course some fisherman had removed a barricade at one of the lake's 5 ramps, and were out there. Disappointed I spent Sunday combing the web for better information. I found 2 sites that were somewhat helpful.

US Army Corps of Engineers

NOAA - Hydrology

I little digging around the Engineers site and I found the Daily Lake and River report, showing that Caesar Creek was 15ft above "Summer Pool". So I am going to try and contact the local office to find out at what depth the ramps will re-open. I guess it will be different for each lake, and probably each ramp.

The NOAA page eventually led me to a prediction page, showing that at least the Ohio at Cincinnati (Caesar Creek is a flood control reservoir off the Little Miami which empties into the Ohio just upstream of Cincinnati) is going down faster than predicted. That leads me to believe they will start lowering the lake later this week (unless we get substantial rain,yet this week).

Well, I hope you find these pages helpful in planing your boating season here in the US. For our international friends, I wonder if you have similar information.

Is everyone familiar with this game? Just reply with the first word that comes to your mind when you think of the last word posted. You can't respond to the post with a comment, just the word that comes to your mind. It can only be a word or a short phrase.

Also remember to use the arrow --> in between the previous word/phrase and the new word/phrase you just thought of.

Also, you can't go twice in a row.

I'll start it off with:
