How old is this boat?

Ok since I just posted one Alaska picture, I’ll post one last one. This is in Glacier Bay showing one of the glaciers that flow into Glacier bay. The pic doesn’t do it justice. To see this up close boggles the mind. For all to view this the ship goes into the middle of glacier bay and does 3...

Sunset, Alaska cruise inside passage from our stateroom balcony

Only 50 hours on them and he’s selling both? WHY??? That’s the first thing I’d ask. Only 50 hours and one of them went into limp mode already? I’d be concerned. $1000 for 2 jet skis with only 50 hours on them? Don’t know how old they are but with only 50 hours they can’t be too old. Market...

I concur with others, get the largest screen you can afford. It makes a huge difference

Ezbtr , see above pic. Meguiars headlight coating

I want to elaborate a little on this subject. I researched it thoroughly a few years ago , even spoke to an engineer friend. Most modern headlight lens are made of a polycarbonate. At the factory a strong coating of an anti UV coating is applied. Keep in mind that UV rays causes 90+ % of the...

Mine have remained clear since I did them 5 years ago. I used Meguaires heavy duty headlight restore kit. After that I spray them with Meguairs UV protectant.My truck is outside 24/7 and they still look like new. I spray them every 6 months although the directions say once a year is fine. if...

May God bless you sir. The dreaded C word (cancer) is something no one ever wants to hear. I heard it 5 years ago, prostate cancer. Fortunately it was early low grade cancer. Had brachytherapy (radioactive seeds implanted in the prostate). Today I am considered cancer free with a normal life...

Glock 19 9mm. Duty weapon and every day concealed carry weapon. Never leave home without it.

That is a burning question that has been around since time immemorial and even before the question of why the chicken crossed the road. It even baffled Einstein. Actually I think someone here has way too much time on their hands.

Thats not a family boat, that is a project. Walk away from that. Actually run from that. Being new to boating you do not want to start with a 25 year old boat especially one that needs a new engine. That is a bottomless money pit. When you buy a boat you want to but the newest boat you can...

If you run out of $$$ in retirement and have to go back to work then you did not plan well or did not plan at all. A possible exception to that is if a person had something catastrophic happen like hundreds of thousands in unforeseen medical bills. If you retire with just a small pension and...

You know what I got? I have the $6 a gallon to pump the s….. out. Cant believe this topic is still in discussion. These boats with toilets on them are generally larger boats (not 12’ little aluminum boats). They cost from in the $20,000’s to $100000+. Other expenses marina birthing fees...

What??? Just pay the $$$. Dont mess with the poop. It’s just part of the boating expense. If you can’t afford that, sell the boat.

Wow! Very nice home and great setting.A home like that with a beautiful setting here in California would go for a $1,000,000+.

Those lines are from hull stress. They can turn into cracks. I have had a number of top line heavy gauge aluminum boats and I have had one where the hull cracked. I had a marine insurance adjuster look at it and he told me cracks in these hulls are more common that most people know. Just to be...

A large percentage of people launch and retrieve with 2wd’s all the time. As said it all depends on what the launch ramp is like . You have plenty of power, the question is during retrieval will you spin your wheels. If you’re concerned then put a couple hundred pounds of weight in the back...

Wood isn’t expensive for what you’ll need. . Get some 2”x8”x10’ lumber and some 4x4s for the corners and you can slap together a few raised garden bins in an hour or two. That’s what I did and after 12+ years they look great and are in good shape. I made 4 10x4’ beds and a couple others in less...

Look for waterfowling gloves on line or at places like Cabelas or Bass Pro. They have all kinds from thin the thick insulated and they are waterproof. Regarding where part of your fingers are exposed it’s often hunters and waterfowl hunters that use them. They help grip and feel of the gun but...
