Should I Buy a Boat?

Should I Buy a Boat?

If you are considering whether purchasing a boat is a good decision for you and your family you MUST watch this video. It will pull at your heart strings and remind you what is truly important in life…spending time with those you love!

Spend Time with Children

If you have children that have grown and left your home, you realize how fast the time goes. I realize if you have young children at home under the age of 5 you probably disagree. I know…I have been there. My girls are 12 and 10. The toddler years were trying. However, once the kids hit school you’ll wonder where the years have gone.

Listening to the iPod, playing video games, or hanging with friend will replace the desire to be with mom and dad. That’s why it is so important to create that family time.

Take time to fish with your children. Teach them how to water ski. Pull them behind the boat on a tube. Anchor the boat in shallow water and throw the football around.

Parents – don’t forget about each other! It’s okay to take your boat out without the kids to reconnect! Do you remember the date night? Spending time together, laughing, talking? Reconnect with each other on the water.

Grandparents – can you think of a better way to bond with your grandchildren? You may not know much about Facebook or iTunes, but you probably know a thing or two about catching a fish. Teach your grandchildren to appreciate the great outdoors in all of its glory. Beautiful sunsets, steam rolling off the water as the sun rises above the horizon. Seeing the loon glide across the water.

So if you wonder if a boat is right for you and your family remember that time is so short. Take the time to be with your loved ones.

Wondering which boat might be right for you and your family? Come into Zacho Sports Center in Chippewa Falls, WI. Our staff will listen your needs and recommend the boat that is right for you and your family.

At Zachos, we believe “Life is better with a boat!”

Flat Proof Tire Sealant – Guaranteed to Save You Money!

Flat Proof 

  • Seals punctures in tread areas up to ¼”
  • Extends life of tire
  • Provides better fuel economy
  • Effective from -24 degrees Fahrenheit to over 200 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Helps maintain constant tire air pressure
  • Will not rust, corrode or pit steel or aluminum wheels
  • Works continuously
  • Does not void tire warranty
  • Works in high and low pressure tires

Save Money Five Ways with Flat Proof

  1. Stops FlatsFlat Proof is a unique product that permanently seals tread area up to ¼” for the life of the tire. Larger punctures will normally seal in heavy ply tires.
  2. Saves FuelFlat Proof will completely coat the inside of the tire. This coating seals the tire against all slow air leaks and helps prevent fuel-robbing under inflammation.
  3. Extends Tire Life – Under inflation is the #1 tire killer. By maintaining proper tire air pressure, a tire will generate much less heat due to excessive flexing and friction causing the tire to run much cooler and last longer.
  4. Prevents Casing Damage – the excessive friction and heat buildup due to under inflated tires does permanent damage and can also cause failure. Flat Proof tire sealant helps maintain proper tire air pressure and prevents casing damage.
  5. Reduces DowntimeFlat Proof tire sealant saves you from expensive machine and operator downtime by keeping your equipment rolling. Flat Proof tire sealant is a must in any preventative maintenance program.

Whether for work or play, you don’t want your power sport vehicle or trailer tire to be out of commission. You can purchase a guarantee with Flat Proof from Zacho Sports Center. We sell this product for $200 per tire. It is guaranteed for the life of the tire to 1/8” tread against going flat.

If you “don’t have time for down timecontact Zacho Sports Center to get more information about this product.

Crestliner 1650 Fishhawk SC – The Good and the Bad!

At Zacho Sports Center we encourage both positive and NEGATIVE feedback!

Here is what one of our customers had to say about the 2012 Crestliner 1650 Fishhawk SC.

“I have an issue with my rear seat base location on the rear deck.  If you are in shallow water and it requires you to trim the motor up while fishing you can’t use the rear pedestal seat due to interference with the motor cover.  I was hoping that we could move that forward a few inches to cure the problem. I also have a suggestion that Crestliner look at. The driver seat location is positioned so that you can’t swivel it around with the seat back in the up right position. A very slight change in location would  make this happen. I will spend countless hours on the water and that would be a nice convenience. Other than that the boat is amazing it has great performance and stability. A true dream to fish out of.  Thanks to the great staff at Zacho Sports Center this has been a great buying experience on an awesome product.”

As you probably guessed, we are in contact with Crestliner to resolve the issue! Thanks Doug for the positive AND negative feedback!

How to Remove Mold and Mildew

By Jim Kernan & Shelly Cedarblade

Winter is finally over and you take your boat out of storage, remove the cover, and what do you find? Mold and mildew! What should you do?

Mold and mildew is a living, breathing organism.  It is easily recognizable by the black speckles. You can find mold and mildew on the cabin interior, on the boat seats, in storage enclosures, on rubber fenders, on boat covers, and on marine fabrics.

How to Remove Mildew From Boat Seats

Since mold and mildew are a living organisms, the only way to kill them is with a mild bleach content, which is what the MaryKate Mildew Stain Remover contains. The bleach content is not strong enough to remove the color from the surface, but strong enough to kill the mold and mildew that could be residing there.

Removing Mildew From Vinyl Boat Seats

Simply spray the MaryKate Mildew Stain Remover onto vinyl boat seats, vinyl, or hard surfaces and rub off. It is not necessary to scrub, the spray won’t drip, and it works instantly.

We had an unusually warm winter and the prevalence of mold and mildew on your boat will be greater.

The MaryKate Mildew Stain Remover is the best stuff out there. It doesn’t take a lot to get a boat looking nice again! It is very quick and easy to use – a simple, quick way to get your boat looking new again.

You can find the MaryKate Mildew Stain Remover at Zacho Sports Center, in Chippewa Falls.
