That IS nice - what Lake? photo here is of Lake Erie near Buffalo

From the words, doesn't sound too good. If this description is of a used boat "taken care of better", and there's water inside the boat, I'd be concerned about everything else. There's many ways to remove the water, but I'd be more concerned of the source of that water, and how long it's been...

Good morning. I like your idea - good questions. I have never had a pool, but have about 35 yrs experience with design, etc of pump/pipe systems. As a kid, probably in the 70's, our neighbor had a pool with such a system, so I'm thinking this has been done - a lot. I'll be following to see...

Gotta admit, that hurts a bit - hopefully not too much. But that's how NFL Football is here in WNY - hurting is part of the deal, for a long time.

+1 on that. Lots of materials will work on the short term - UV resistance will help in the longer term. In 35 yr experience with large quantities of these materials - some exposed to UV, some not, you can really see it visibly and in lab test data. As noted above, some HDPE has a black...

Thanks for sharing your electric/magic experiences, always informative and entertaining - that's a great mix! To me, "engineering" is the PRACTICAL application of TECHNOLOGY (and, for me anyway, I get to decide on the definition of those terms)

not sure what your boating experience is - owning and maintaining/operating are kinda separate things - even if you have many years of operating, maintaining, etc boats owned by others (your family and closest friends), finally owning your own boat(s) is different if you, and your closest...

Yes, in roman numerals, X = 10

as far as the seats go... also consider the condition of the material (likely wood) from which the seats are made

many vehicle gauges, and interior lighting, are often red

beside the other items mentioned, a few long zip ties are in the boat's toolbox, plastic and stainless steel versions

I did not think of that - good point, that'll prompt me to watch more. I gotta pay more attention to the players, not the trappings. The football is pretty good.

I tried to watch a little. Want to like it. Seems they're trying to have too much 'inside look' - comes off as a heavy sell job. .Maybe I just need to get used to it. It's admittedly tough to watch football right now as a longtime Bills fan

this looks similar, not sure if its any help to you, but just in case, found it here https://www.tinboats.net/threads/cox-trailer-rebuild.22654/#post-231053

Good rule of thumb and advise above - then, it depends how, where and when you plan to use the boat in the water, and how much/how far you intend to move it out of the water

well, there ya have it now that the Admiral and I have a boat in the fleet with a head, she gets dibs. on our boat, any lady out boating gets dibs, but that's the Captain's decision (or not)

Last year seemed to be a heavy mouse-year in the SW Adirondacks. Sure was funny (to me) when a friend of the Admiral's saw one on a sticky trap that we were gonna give-up on - well, that one worked

Wow, 25 miles away and $60, hopefully you can find cheaper and closer pump-out. If you don't know capacity and there's no gauge or high-level light, you could get it empty and fill it with water one measured gallon at a time til full, and pump that out. You'll get it flushed-out and have an...

agreed

really? fire 'em all (but the model would be cool) "solution involves applying the so-called ‘comparative method’ which consists of manufacturing the new units using as a model a train that is already running on the line."
