Glad I'll never have to think about wanting/getting/having one of those. But I am also glad others are looking into different idea. The vehicle shots in the video are interesting -but that is not a work truck. Ya, that guy is not much of a speaker. Is that the vehicle Leno tested when they...

I avoid it, but it has happened. All owners of whatever the asset is, must have the same desire, resources, and willingness to care for anything co-owned, Certainly, the higher the asset value, the more this similarity in co-owners must exist. The stars can align, but it's kinda rare. If...

Aside from the regs - you can do a buoyancy calc as simple or complex as you'd like, to get a rough idea if filling that space (and/or any other spaces) with foam, makes much of a difference at all. Being a wood boat, you'd have to guesstimate how much of the wood gets saturated

Yes, that is gorgeous! Must've been many loving hours (and maybe invented some new words). Thanks for the pics

any vehicle, especially those with shorter wheel-base that an operator turns tightly and/or at higher speeds, needs tire rotations (I'm thinking about the vehicle The Admiral usually operates)

My .02; don't focus on names - compare costs for tires for your vehicle and intended-use, available in your area in the manner you plan to obtain them, and where/how you plan to get them mounted/balanced/installed - if at home, your choices may expand. Many Manufacturers (their name on them...

I love this part...

agreed. The Admiral and I are on-board with a gifts-for grandchildren-only agreement with our kids (their idea). And we will pitch-in for some boating-want (maybe a used lift for the boat up at Camp that we all use)

agreed on the spacer, below is also another opinion on that "for every 5 degree reduction in air temperature, increases power by 1%"

all good friends in a cove to themselves

consider your areas required liability only

Many different thoughts on beaching boats. IMO if you're not familiar with conditions and how youre boat will behave where/when you want to beach - don't do it unless you have a lot of boating-experienced people with you

a few electricity-based heating sources have been mentioned - certainly feasible if you can sleep counting on that the thicker bulbs mentioned are sometimes called rough-service bulbs

Glad you had a good day out - and returned to the hard. The weather info is fine to look at as a reference, actually being there with the experience of your skills, boat, water, etc is invaluable. Never tried SXM weather, but have SXM for music. I use the "free" radar info available as an...

It is so easy now to look at current weather radar. That, and knowing your, and your craft's, limitations - make captaining a vessel much more predictable nowadays

IMO, texting as its place - for info not needed right away like any communication - if you know your audience, adjust accordingly However, some times there'll be lots of back-and-forth. That's when a phone call is called-for. To me, the other part of this era of many communications methods -...

awful

Doing the same here, but it is unfortunately due to other obligations, not weather this time. If you're hesitant to be on your boat on waters that you are usually in - maybe wait for weather in your area and boat you are comfortable with Full disclosure - I don't always do that, but in those...

meanwhile, back in Buffalo... "Police, with the assistance of the Buffalo school district, called the game before it ended to ensure public safety. Buffalo police say the incident remains under investigation," the spokesperson told 2 On Your Side. The issues didn't stop with the game, though...

An interesting project - especially if it's the ramp you use. An un-noticed and no public comment/review period for this - and no drawings available... that doesn't seem right. Working in a navigable waterway - usually ACOE gets involved. Good photos, and I agree the materials and methods seen...
