Like Harley Davidson, Corvette product managers have a tough situation. They need to figure out how to keep their current, aging fans, while also attracting new ones. Boomers and millennials are currently about the same size demographic, but boomers are shrinking, and millennial buying power...

Propeller voodoo.

Rumor has it the front engine will be gone, and they're going all-in on the mid engine. That's smart. Managing the performance car business with the Camaro, the front engine Vette, and a new mid-engine Vette, would add 50% more complexity, and definitely not add 50% more sales. The Camaro...

1967 microbus. Had some dents, but was nearly rust free, which is rare in WI. Sold it for $1100, with a brand new engine, in 1989 because we had just gotten married and I was putting myself through school.

There's some solid physiology and psychology at work here. Grossly oversimplified, we all have an affection for things that we liked when we went through adolescence and early adulthood because our brains got hardwired for it. An individuals formative years become their personal definition of...

What's wrong with letting them find their own toys? Like say, a frozen deer leg. X2 on the Salvation Army toys. Spend a couple bucks and get a full bag of used stuffed animals that are going to get destroyed no matter what.

Wow. Holy crap it's in Minnesota?

That is about the perfect 21 foot boat. I always wondered if the RC deck would fit on an RT hull. I had a mod-v Eliminator that I loved, and a Schiada 20 that I loved, and a combination of the two is my dream boat.

According to the google: Folding pocket knives are legal, no mention of blade length. Fixed blades are legal when not concealed, illegal when concealed, and again no mention of blade length. Switchblades and other spring-loaded knives are illegal in California if their blade is 2″ or longer...

I've been carrying this model SOG for about 25 years. Called the Air SOG, it was originally sold as the largest knife that was legal on the airlines, but that all changed on 09.11.01. Fits a pocket perfect, lightweight, with no sharp corners. Discontinued now, but they pop up on Ebay. I use...

Absolutely badass. Practice makes perfect! Side note. Are millenials going to start hanging their TVs on the wall vertically? What about movie theater screens?

The question is how thirsty are you.

I switched out a set of stock Merc 454Magnum iron exhaust manifolds for some stainless Hi-Tek tubular headers on a Hallett 210. My goals were to lose some weight in the rear of the boat to make the ski wake better (I also removed one of the batteries), make it sound better, and maybe get a...

Cool progression of images!

Imagine taking the boat hull mold, with all the fiberglass and resin layed up in it, and putting the whole thing in a big plastic bag and then sucking all the air out of the bag, just like vacuum packing something in the kitchen. Except, instead of doing it to remove oxygen and prevent...

I had a 210 for a few years and loved it. Build quality was great. The ride and handling were very, very good for a west coast style 21 v-hull. With a 454Mag/Bravo I once loaded 11 mature Wisconsites on board and could still plane easily and carry more speed than needed. I also think the 210...

Can somebody please post a link to this? I NEED TO KNOW MORE!

The dude’s definitely proven he’s a badass in a serious situation. The cat in this video showed up in several places around southeastern Wisconsin just about a year ago. The city where this video was taken is straight up suburban, surrounded by farmland, and hundreds of miles from anything you...

Looks like it can do the work of a jack plate, adjusting X vertically. The motors would still have the angular trim.

What are your thoughts on integrating the platform brackets with the rod brackets?
