    Jet Pee question

    I bought a used Mercury 40/30 jet this week. It is a 2000 model (I believe) that has been meticulously maintained. I ran it today for the first time. Hooked to the hose it pee's really good.

    Hatch Question

    I'll be passing a Bass Pro tomorrow. I see some hatches on their website that I like. Do they typically have hatches and things like that in the store? I'm usually less than impressed at what Bass Pro stocks in the stores. Thanks for any help.

    Tin Boat funeral

    I was passing a recycling place yesterday and a guy was parked on the scale with a pile of scrap metal with a 12' flat bottom jon boat on top of the heap. One of the saddest things I've ever seen. If he had been in line for the scale I would have tried to stop this crime from being committed.
