Re: Geez, I love my new boat !!! :-)

Chris, Being a fellow tin boat sailor I can totally appreciate your rig. 30 mph is almost "Tracker Pad" we should race sometime and throw in some obsticles like sand bars, roots sticking out of narrow channels and maybe some shallow gravel beds. Stuff the glass boats are afraid to venture ...

We get to the time share our friend hooked us up with and I discover that I left my boat keys back in San Francisco. The night manager at the check in des...

Re: Boat question

Keep your eye's open and you'll see me out there in my tracker PT 175 you ain't seen nothing until you have seen "Tracker pad". Not a Ranger, Triton or Champion.

Being a tin boat fan, I really want to check out the Xpress boats unfortunately no dealers in CA. Closest is Utah or Washington.

Re: Mustang Survival Vest

Tom, Nice to see another Coastie on the Forum. We use Mustang products almost exclusively and have experimented with other brands and styles but keep going back to the Mustang inflatables. We torture our gear so if it can survive a CG expeditonary warfare unit it will survive anything. Kenji Snow PS...

Re: The Silver bullet needs a new trailer...Recommendations?

I served 9 mos active duty in 2003 and I have been very busy with my two sons 6 and 17, I moved to San Francisco from Daly City last year and the Dept. of Homeland Security has kept me pretty busy with two trips to Camp Le...

Re: The Silver bullet needs a new trailer...Recommendations?

The shine is still there but under a couple years worth of weathering...LOL. I have been slammed with my job, and the Coast Guard reserves not to mention my two recent surgeries (knee and hernia). I was sent to Camp Lejeune NC twice last year and have been training hard with my reserve unit. So litt...

My 98 Tracker ProTeam 175's stock trailer has seen better days after sitting in my folks backyard (On the Coast) for the past 7 years and I think I'll finally be able to get back on the waterthis spring.
