Well folks, I've decided to sell the boat. All she does is sit in the yard, she needs / deserves to be out on the water. 78 V20 cuddy, 5.0L Mercruiser (898) with Alpha 1 outdrive, tandem axle Magic Trail trailer with Kodiak disk brakes, Tie Down Engineering actuator with reverse bypass, 7 pin...

I had to change the channel because it was all about Michael Vick. Who friggin cares? He admitted he was a dumb-a$$, now let's get back to the game. Sheeze >:(

A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (General Motors) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River . Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans, very discouraged and...

I believe I'm gonna like it. I'm working on RADAR sites in Atlantic, NC. They are used to simulate threats to pilots as they do bombing ops in the area. We also have a remote bombing range with RADAR sites that we tend and the only way to get there is by boat. The company boats are 25' Parkers...

LOL ;D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwEE3LskULg

Yup, I will no longer be blowing up ovens. Instead, I will be playing war games with the Navy pilots that fly too close to my RADAR site in Atlantic, NC. Yep, I will be maintaining and operating some sites to make sure our boys get the best training possible. That means I will be moving to...

Dat's right boys. Ordered me up some Kodiak disc brakes and a Tie Down actuator and a feedback solenoid thingy. Got em from Eastern Marine online (just like Airslot, looked up his thread on it). I went with the Tie down model 66 instead of the 70E though, saved a few bucks that way. Gonna be...

Need to talk, makes me feel a little bit better. We were going to adopt an 8 yr old little girl, and she has been living with us for 10 months, but it just didn't work out. She and the Admiral just didn't get along. She and I were tightly attached. We took her to her new foster home today , so...

Puhleeeeezze? ;)

I was just looking at them. Anybody use'em. Any input?

I hit 400 with this post, 40% the way to God-dom. ;D

Checkout my repair thread yet? If not, do so. Anyway, the question is...I'm almost ready to attach the wood to the cover, can I just use the resin hardened as is or should I consider a filler? If so, then what kind? I'm gonna mix it thin so I have enough time to coat both the cover and the...

The weather was so pretty today, I shoulda put the boat in the water and went fishin', but I was in an ill mood (that means bad mood for all ya yanks) and I really didn't want to fight the idiots at the ramps. I decided it was a good time to get my repair started so it could be done by the long...

Well, went out today in the blustery wind to try and bloody the decks with whatever bites the hook. I crossed the Neuse river and headed up Broad Creek to get out of the wind. After awhile I landed a 12" speck. The Frayed Knot has finally landed a fish ;D Anywho, there were tons of gar around...

I know I have asked this before, but the search has resulted in nothing. I need to replace the wood in my fuel tank cover, just like Schools did. I don't seem to have a "local" source for marine grade plywood. Can I use something else. I plan on totally encasing it in glass. This also brings...
