    WTB- Ford Bronco

    Normally I just lurk here and watch the fun, but I feel compelled to chime in on this thread. In the late 90's I bought a 1993 OJ Bronco. Loved it. It looked cool, ran great, fit 5 comfortably, and just fit as a cool bachelor wagon for a guy in his late 20's. I bought a 19ft Baja and started...

    Are all boat alternators created equal?

    Since the batts are 4 years old, I guess it makes sense to replace them. I was going to look at an alternator too, but after reading what rivermobster said I'm not sure if it's going to help. I don't have a charger. I'm in So Cal. Ladera Ranch.

    Are all boat alternators created equal?

    ^ Well I can see how a Playstation and 12" TV would reek havoc on a battery, especially if you're cruising 5 mph. But 4 LED twinkle light strings, and some courtesy lights, I'd think that shouldn't put a dent in the battery even at 5 mph. I guess I'm wrong. If you're telling me that upgrading...

    Are all boat alternators created equal?

    Wow, great responses here guys. Thanks. Let me post a few comments... Boat is definitely wired for this. And like a moron, I probably left it on BOTH during the drive. Still, I would've thought the alternator would have kept up with the demand. Some of these daycruisers came with refers...

    Are all boat alternators created equal?

    Guys, Had a situation recently that I want to run by you. I have a 1987 26' Caribbean daycruiser, 454/Alpha configuration. Picked it up last summer and we've really enjoyed the boat so far. This past Christmas, we took it to Long Beach harbor and joined the boat parade. I bought an Inverter...

    Would you replace your trans cooler under these circumstances?

    Thank you for the quick feedback. One thing is for sure, nobody seems to be a fan of the B&M cooler, so that's good to know. RiverKing didn't see a difference with the Hayden, but a couple of good reviews about the Tru Cool. And then there's just as many that say 210* is fine for trans temp...

    Would you replace your trans cooler under these circumstances?

    Hi guys, I wanted to get your opinions on something. We have a 2011 2500 Suburban. Great rig. We bought a 26' day cruiser this past summer in Havasu and took another trip late in the season back to Havasu again. The Suburban performed admirably. It's a mid 80's caribbean day cruiser, so...

    Bass Lake water level

    I found this same graph a month or so ago. Problem is, 2014 and 2015 look real bad. And I think the dam work has been done for a couple years now. I'll probably call the ranger station and ask. I sure hope it fills back up.

    Bass Lake water level

    Hi all, I spent many a summer during the 80's at Bass Lake. Loved it up there. Just bought my own boat this past summer and want to take a trip back up there this coming summer 2016. I've been on the local webcams and half the lake appears to be dried up! All the docks at Pines Marina are...

    VIN stamp on Competitive boat trailer

    @boatpi - it's the AAA office in Ladera Ranch, CA. And LakeMead Boater ^ talked to Dan and it appears my boat trailer doesn't have 2 vins. So I'm not sure where that leaves me. What should be my next course of action? Feel free to PM me if that's easier. I want to avoid the DMV at all...

    VIN stamp on Competitive boat trailer

    Hey guys, thanks a lot for all the replies! 16 posts in one afternoon is impressive. According to the AAA rep, this is a rule that the DMV pushes down on them. I find it hard to believe as I don't think there are that many trailers (if any) that have 2 VINs. I will try a second AAA and see...

    VIN stamp on Competitive boat trailer

    Hello, I had a question and hoped you all could help. Just did a search here on the Board but nothing came back. I just boat a 1987 26' daycruiser. It's sitting on a Competitive trailer. The prior owner lives in Havasu and I'm in CA. I have the title to the trailer and wanting to transfer...
