    Infected Molar Tooth suffering needlessly.

    Yep, I had an infected tooth and went to my primary care for amoxicillin. The nurse pointed out that the tooth location and infection was less than 2 inches from my brain. Not good. I got the tooth pulled once the infection cleared.

    1974 Chieftain 25 "Adventurer" Restoration

    Good work so far! I've seen a lot of very large boats with actual engine rooms that have the engines painted gloss white. Supposedly to quickly show any kind of leak. And I've also seen hot 2-strokes painted the same way for the same reason.

    1983 Starcraft Rivet Work of Art

    I had my Chieftain dustless blasted and that was perfect, but expensive.

    What's the max HP rating for the boat? You may be under powered too.

    Stay safe out there. Overheating can sneak up on you.

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    The trim gauge arrived this afternoon. Naturally, I had to go mock it into place for a looksee. :cool: I tried it in the innermost hole, but I couldn't see the gauge because of the steering wheel. Moved it to the center and that was perfect. I'll put the fuel gauge in the innermost location...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    And this morning I put on the final coats of paint, replaced the hardware and mocked everything into place. I chose this blue because it's a pretty good complement to the other blues in the boat. And I chose satin instead of gloss because I didn't want the parts to look all "plasticky."...

    7-6-25 I sanded the glove box panel down and got all the uglies off of it. :LOL: Then I sprayed on the first coat of Krylon Fusion satin blue and hung it out to dry. Nothing like sitting and watching paint dry. :cool: The first coat went on fine.

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    Been pretty busy lately. Health and weather problems slowed me down a bit too. As usual. :rolleyes: After several weeks and many, many hours of research, I finally ordered all new gauges. I settled on Faria-Beede; their Platinum Series. They start arriving today and will continue for the...

    Gauges recommendation

    Well, earlier this afternoon I pulled the trigger on the new gauges. They'll start coming in next week. Gives me time to do a bit of cleanup. Yes, compatibility is an issue. Connecting a digital gauge to an analog source won't work if it's looking for ones and zeroes instead of an analog...

    Gauges recommendation

    I'm literally in the same boat, so to speak. :sneaky: I have the new gauges in my purchase cart right now, ready to pull the trigger. More expensive than I wanted to buy, but this will be my final boat ever, so that's my justification (rationalization?) :LOL: I'm looking at $500+ for the...

    My boat needs to run real good on the 4th of July. FIX IT !!

    Hysterical! A buddy told me about this yesterday but he didn't like it. Having seen it this morning, I'm thinking that he didn't watch it all the way through. Harmless fun stuff! 🤪
