Agreed, and it's so good to see and hear that there are so many good people out there facilitating and teaching future generations. BTW, I do not have a fb acct, but was able to watch that vid - and that kid did it with "the item" firmly in place. Thanks for sharing that one, good for the soul

Ya I think wood core in this 1998 Wellcraft 240SE (pic is engine room when engine was pulled in 2015). Not sure the what time period is when 95% of glass boats were wood- structured, but pretty sure this one is.

As always, inspiring thread Joe - and I think it helped me to make and enjoy a breakfast sandwich out of stuff around the house (and procrastinate working-on our most recent re-assessment fun). Thanks all!

It could be a great find, it could be someone trying to get rid if their disposal expense - can't tell from here. If you're unsure of that, post some pics of the whole thing then closer and closer in the engine room and transom exterior. Paperwork/proof of ownership can be a thing too.

that looks like the hardware that was on an 80's aluminum I/O outdrive with a 9.9 hp kicker (trolling motor in those days for the Lake) - it was the hardware that connected the drive to the kicker so you could steer the tillered kicker with the outdrive (steering wheel)

Good to hear you're on the mend, sounds like you and The Admiral got a great attitude and plan!

where's the best photo of this? "the 52-footer powered by six Mercury Racing 500R outboard engines"

The one that over-flowed, how may gallons before it overflowed? Hopefully it was the correct fuel-fill location, and you have a crimped or plugged fuel-fill pipe; Suggest you don't introduce any ignition source to the fueled-area until you know what happened. Gasoline vapors with an ignition...

Yes. Tell "the boss" you can have any "day off" you want.

Also hoping for a good game, high-level football pitting the best players against each other in any good league, is so fun to watch. The Admiral and I, and our Family, are Bills fans - so we are pulling for the 9 ers this evening - but mostly for a good, close football game.

sure, maybe - but when will there be some breakthrough in energy storage? no one really knows

Can't really play in it it theses days, but I still like it - dog seems to enjoy it

I think it's similar to the progression of any machines used by people. As the machines are made for more people to use, more people use them, and there ya go... Think of the progression of cars, and the people that operate those machines, that used to only start by hand-crank

for some reason the 70 skylark never got too much carbon build-up good thing I didn't know about water injection

Definitions. For our internal combustion engines, decarbonization means something different than what some think now, looking for info on this today yields... "Decarbonization (also decarbonisation) is the process of significantly reducing or eliminating carbon dioxide (CO2) and other...

99yam said it well-the the laws of thermodynamics coming into play in addition to getting chemical reactions to go, most materials change dimensionally with temperature - maybe a connection doesn't connect properly when its colder

"Buffalo style" - so funny. Means whatever it is has "chicken", "cheese" and "hot sauce". We've been doing that at home for about half-century. Modern chemicals allow that idea to be packaged and sold to so many now. Maybe someone could sprinkle some on our city's football Team

It's gonna be a good one, can't wait.. Hopefully the current leaders of that red team have a long, quiet (except for the whining and crying) trip back home. A little concerned about the lead on-field official for this one, but its part of the game., shouldn't come down to that, etc. The...

Taylor S on her way to the Bills game...

That's perseverance! Good to see you're on it, jealous of that work environment. Lake Erie is where our 1998 Wellcraft often ventures too
