Re: R6 or R8 surf
If you can't demo, go R8 for versatility; if pure surf performance is your priority, consider the R6.

Re: Lake Erie Boat
Stick with the 430 hp Volvo and folding Bimini, keeps weight down and deck clear. Outboard loses your big swim platform; inboard keeps stability and space for dogs.

It’s kind of like how in gaming you go for the gear that gives you the best performance and style. For example, in CS:GO having the right SG 553 skin feels the same way – it doesn’t change the ...

Re: Red Flags
Yeah, I've noticed that too. I grew up boating, and we always used the red flag. Lately, though, it seems like people don't bother. I often find myself squinting to spot a skier or tuber in the water when a boat is stopped. Maybe it's a mix of newer boaters not knowing the rules and others just ...

Re: R5 Swim platform/Gator Step
Generally, it's a good idea to make sure the surface is clean and free of any debris or loose material before applying it. Depending on the texture, a light sanding might help ensure a smoother finish.

Re: Stuck Oil Filter
Have you tried using a strap wrench? If that doesn't work, you might want to give penetrating oil a shot. Let it soak for a while to loosen things up.
