I don't remember having that experience (yet). What do you have for tackle?

The Dodge fuel deal at $5.00 per gallon for diesel for 12,000 miles a year comes to about 2K per year fuel rebate for 3 years if the price remains steady. With a price incentive or rebate on top, that might be a pretty good deal. Still, I haven't exactly had anyone knocking down my door to...

Docked at Swanson Harbor/First Mate

St. James Bay

I got a follow up call from a Ford salesman today regarding an F150. Currently, they have the "employee discount" going which brings a 41K Lariat down to about 31K. He said that was the absolute lowest they would go. Not too bad but I don't exactly have an overwhelming urge to rush down and...

We are thinking that this is either a really bad time to buy a truck or maybe a really good time. There are some pretty decent incentives on new trucks lately that bring many prices for new down to the level of late model used. Anyone have a feel for just how much more a dealer might negotiate...

Got the new glow plug from Scan, installed it and fired up the Wallas. works as well as ever. So far.

Well, as we head out the door, late to be off on our cruise due to working on the Wallas into wee hours last night, :amgry with a double burner coleman under one arm and a Buddy under the other; I must say that we really miss the Wallas right now :cry: (glow plug on order) It has been a...

I got the Wallas running this morning and it kept going for about three hours then shut down. I looked it over some more (didn't help) then called Mike at Skan. He gave me some ideas but mostly suggested sending it in. I took the glow plug out tonight and it has a burn through on the shaft...

Jay, I am having exactly the same issue as I speak. Of course we are supposed to be heading out for Elfin Cove in the morning but now have to trouble shoot the Wallas as I try to use it for the first time this year. I quit for the night but will venture forth again in the morning. If all...

Its not "my way". I learned everything I know from Thataway Bob. I am just trying to pass the word. If I had stopped and done all of this when my boat was new, it would have taken a small fraction of the time and hassel and no damage would ever have occurred. Today I am rebedding my forward...

Sounds like a good thing to know. Not sure if I have been doing it as you describe or the other way around but will apply a similar label to remind myself. Thanks. Steve

I got rid of them all and fileted and glassed the cabinets in and filled all the holes with epoxy. Not a single screw left into the balsa that I know of.

Warren, I too found the problem upon removal of the cockpit hatches for inspection of the suspected problem.

By the way. If I knew then what I know now, I would have pulled all the decks and screws before I ever put her in the water and sealed and bedded things up before the fact.

Sounds like an epidemic. I have been spending the last couple weeks dealing with wet core secondary to lack of sealant on the cockpit hatch screws and inadequate treatment of the balsa edges. I have tried various methods to cut back the balsa to dry wood and what worked best for me was an...

My first mate is a Rotard. I'm semi-normal.

I think this might be a boat I saw for sale last summer. The guy selling it at kind of a boat swap meet at a local mall had purchased a Cape Cruiser. I actually thought about picking up the old 22 since it seemed likie a good buy but have no need for a new hobby.

I thought I had this all figured out. Just tell her you had to do the bottom paint thing and that you always have to redo the trim at the same time too... If she ever notices. Then I thought about the Mexico trip...Might be better off to just tell her the truth straight up and see what the...
