    Booze and boat don’t always mix well.

    A couple of years ago I was on the wharf cleaning fish when a couple of guys and a young fella looked about 10 yr old walked past me, and got in their boat. The smell of weed of them was enough to get you high. They started up the boat, put her in gear and went nowhere, revved up a bit and...

    2005 200hp Mercury Optimax Water in Gas

    You could try running it from a separate gas container to see if your problem is in your main tank or the motor itself.

    Wealth preservation,....

    When I was young and first started working and there were negotiations ongoing between the union and Gov, I remember an old guy saying he hoped they didn't screw around with the pensions. I remember thinking, forget pensions, I'd rather get a raise now! Now that I'm retired I am very thankful...

    Boat taking on water !!!

    Well at least you can plug those two open drains and see if the leak stops. If so then open each one separately to find out which one it is. You might even be able to do it in your driveway by squirting a hose into each hole and have someone watch for signs of water inside the bilge.

    Best hitch protector?

    Up here in Canada, I would just as likely end up in jail if I used a gun in self defense! Esp if the other person turned out to be unarmed.

    Best hitch protector?

    I would consider an electric car for a reasonable price, but a car/boat? I'll pass.

    Kicker on a CC?

    Just recently bought a 9.9 Yamaha new as a kicker. Haven't installed it yet, I have a 20ft cc. Most people say this is more then enough. Waiting for the weather to warm up for that project. I plan a separate gas tank as often enough, gas is the problem with the main. Mine is a pull cord, so...

    It's a sea run Brown Trout. Spawn in rivers in the fall and go to sea in the summer to feed. Similar to a salmon.
