North Shore Landing is the best. The fees the last time I was there 3 years ago was $20 dollars to launch.

If you aren't an experienced boater, get with one or start hanging out at a local boat repair shop... you may even be able to trade some advise, tips and expertise out for sweeping a floor or parking lot.... but either way... boating can be a really bad experience if your boat isn't ready.\n There are so many things that you need to make sure work and are in good shape before you go that it's kinda mind boggling.... check with your Department of Fish and Wildlife too... they are usually the one in alot of states that inspect boats for safety.\n Some basic things.... battery fully charged, fuel lines and connector are serviceable and don't leak, steering cables are lubed, tilt and trim are lubed, bow and stern lights work, you have a tow line, fuel tank is full and you have a clean fuel filter, bilge pump and live well pumps work, you have both hull drain plugs and they have a "dummy" cord, spare spark plugs and a small tool kit, your gas and oil are  mixed correctly (I don't trust auto-injectors).... and the lsit goes on and on... and of course your boat needs to be properly registered and you have the registration numbers marked correctly on your boat.\n\nHope this helps you out.

I've seen a lot of CG boats running up and down the Detroit River and most of them have guns mounted.  I'd think a quick ration of GMs to CG ships to GL CG ships would provide a decent precentage.

Check out the yaht club. My parents and I once took sailing lessons, and as part of it, we got to stay on the yaht, becuase the owners were away somewhere. I assume you can sleep iwthe side boat swaying from side to side on the water, while docked at night?

That is a great idea.  I shoot at one regularly.  There is allot of money to be made in it.   The down side is you will need a large amount of land and the throwers are expensive for automatic throwers.  plus the little extras like golf carts for older shooters and people to go around and load the auto throwers.  plus insurance in case of accidents.

You need a chip to interface with the motor. You also need a receiver on board the boat. Basically you have to control the motor's speed and the rudder. For that you can get a motor out of a toy plane.\n\nwww.internethobbies.com/internethobbies/radconboat.html\n\nThe above link might help\n\nYou can build a better boat if you can program the chip. It can then chart a pre configured path.

i always look at ebay motors...then my second step to find a boat in NEXT TO NEW condish. would be a local police/sheriff auction the sheriff's harbor partol where i live has about three auctions a year...most vessels are not new though, but for instance i know that at the last one someone bought a 04 wave runner for under a grand...so look at that...after that i know an irs-repo auction is always a great bet...and if all else fails, go out to the most redneck area you can find, all rednecks have boats, and will sell them cheap ( i bought a 03 ski boat for 9 grand out in riverside ca. where as where i live orange county ca. the boat would be like 16 grand)\n\n\nhope this helps!!!

The Cabela's Canoe is a nice sturdy/light version.  I have the 12 ft. and it stears fine, I have used it in lakes and low class rapids in rivers.  It will run you about $600

There is a great place, on the CT river.  You can rent a kayak or tube , whichever you prefer. You will start off at the rental center , go a good way down the CT river and stop at a pick up point designated by the rental center. There, they will pick up you, your kayak or tube, and take you by shuttle back to the parking lot.\nIt is an amazing little journey and is quite scenic. I am sorry but over the years I can't for the life of me remember the name of the service that rents the kayak's out.

Check "Florida Sporstman Magazine". They have "world renowned" trips leaving from Miami-Keys. \n\nOn average, expect to pay $125-150 per person, per day,(if going for Black/White Marlin, Kingfish, Wahoo, Mahi). If your "bottom-fishing", (grouper, snapper, bee-liners, ETC), expect to pay less(party boats can be as low as $35-40 per person, per day).\n\nThere are numerous Charter's for hire. If you do "charter" a boat ask them question's like:\n\nDo I have to clean my own fish?\nIf we don't catch "ANYTHING" do I get my money back?\nHow long have you had your "captain's license"?\nDo I need to bring my own lunch?\n\nMy suggestion is to "pick wisely" who you decide to "charter". It can mean the difference between, an "OK time" and a "GREAT TIME".

A shame you can't leave your state! I'm thinking you guys would probably like "indoor water-parks"? Is there an amusement park nearby? Perhaps, renting a cabin on a lake? Do you guys like to hike? Or camp?.....Sorry I'm not familiar with Ohio, or I would give you some destinations. Try looking up your states WEBSITE, they may have some cool stuff you don't know about....good luck!

My father lives in Kinmount, ON (close to Minden/Haliburton), my brother and father are always going on little fishing trips on the weekends, I would try the Ox&Arrows lodge in Minden, if they can't help you they will know who can.

The boats are called airboats (there is a pretty good photo gallery of them at http://www.airboats.com/webfolder/ ).  You can get plans for them at the following site:\nhttp://www.airboatsnfish.com/manufacturers.html\n\nHope this helps!
