    Performance Chip

    Does anybody use these in a gas motor? I have a 96 Dodge Ram, 5.9, 38,000 miles. When I towed my unit back from Tenn. (which I will be doing again) on some of the grades in Virginia, and West Virginia, I had it to the floor, and was topping the hills at 35 and 40 mph. Boat and trailer weigh...

    The latest on "My Disaster"

    Well guys, 1 day after the adjuster met with me, she called me back. First let me tell you that I improperly insured my boat, a mistake I will never make again, and hopefully you all will make sure you don't do as well. I insured the boat for an agreed cash value, basicly what the Sales...

    Submerged Mercury

    Without going into the whole story, I am now the proud owner of a 2002 Mercury 115 EFI 4 stroke with 1 1/2 hrs on it. The boat it was attached to, while tied up at a slip was turned over in the water. The motor was underwater for 3 days, and out of the water for 3 days. Is it possible that...

    Disaster Strikes Me!

    Well gang, I have been thinking weather or not I even wanted to say anything. I am rather numb at this point, not sure what my next steps should be, and basically hate life! I got home from coaching my little league team today, and got a phone call. It was the president of my boat club. He said...

    Gas Caddy Question????

    I have a 29 gal gas caddy with the hand pump. I kind of fell into it when buying my boat and only have $75.00 tied up in it as it originally didn't have the pump. This is my first year of actual boating, preceded by 10 years of jet skis. I had always fueled my 7 gal cans in the back of my truck...

    Opening window size (computer)

    My 11 year old was on the computer when I was at work last night. I don't know what he did, but now everytime I open anything from my desktop, it opens in minimal size, and I have to maximise it each time. Not that big a deal, but is getting on my nerves all ready! How do I get it to open in...

    Smoking

    I have been smoking for over 30 years. Last Dec. 26th I started the patch system and went through 8 weeks of it, dropping the strength along the way. Even with bad road conditions (I drive truck) over the winter, I was able to stay off while on the patch. About 1 month off the patch, I...

    Lavasoft Adaware

    I saw you guys talking about this program. I downloaded it, and ran it. I am not sure I am using it correctly though. Will it quarentine what needs to be quarentined by itself, or do I have to do it?

    fueling question

    One of the rules at the boat club I joined, is no fueling at dock. The gas station dock on the water is owned by a local that I don't have a lot good to say about. I have been thinking, and trying to come up with a safe way, without using 8 or 10 gas cans to fuel up. Perhaps some sort of...

    Riviera Cruiser

    I have been trying to research buying a new tritoon. One of the manufacturers I was trying to look at was Riviera Cruiser. I can not find a good web address for them. Someone told me they thought they were out of business. Anybody know anything?
