    Jacking a pontoon onto logs/pvc to roll into lake

    It'll hold. The structural part of a toon log are at the welded sections between the separate compartments and the rear. Since the board will span the length, the toon will be supported.

    nice show...great location

    They flew the F-105 "B" model. If memory serves without looking it up, they flew it for 9 months after replacing the F-100 "C" model. Then suffered a structural failure of a wing, and moved back into the F-100 "D" model. Thanks, but unfortunately, the collection is now about 50-50 diecast and...

    nice show...great location

    It's just my second time so I'm a ways from burnout. I was attempting to get past the restricted area that ends just past the 450 bridge, but I was too late. I though it might be better than where I was...( and it might be)...dunno. But this year I knew I wanted to be a lot more in the center...

    More Speed - for fun.

    I guess what some of us are trying to say is that no matter what type of boat, different props can be used for fine tuning, as you have seen. But no prop is magical. FWIW. I went through 3 props that all gave me the same performance #'s . A merc.4-14x14, merc 3-16x13, and a Solas 3-15.5x13. All...

    More Speed - for fun.

    yep. I went from a 60hp to a 115 hp motor on my pontoon. I gained only a 6 mph increase in speed....double fuel usage... speed costs money...

    Flying car to soon be available.

    I'm a retired airline pilot. I laugh at all of the "flying car" for the masses. Can you imagine the carnage? Just look around you when driving. Plus, these are not ultra lights or LSA's, so you will need FAA certification. Does any non pilot realize what is involved in rules, regulations, and...

    eh.. I liked Star Wars initially. 1,2,3 which became 4,5,6 of the serial. Oldest son really got into it years later when he and I saw the updated re-releases......then came the prequels/sequels......tolerated 1,2,3.....7,8,9 ? we were done. Wrecked all the "goodness" of skywalker and the "force"...

    Back for More! Looking into a bigger boat for big water - Deck or other

    FWIW: I have a 24' twin tube pontoon, 25" diameter tubes, 115hp. I'm still learning, but I began operating my boat on the chesapeake bay last year. I've asked lots of questions and analyzed conditions every time I went out last year. I learned that a 10+ knot wind , in general, is a limit if...

    2019 Grand Cherokee came with wrong size spare....Just found it out

    I make sure I operate and lubricate the lowering mechanism in my '08 silverado also. I've read the stories of flats in the middle of nowhere only to find out the lowering mechanisms are rusted and locked up because of non use.
