Don, dear uncle -- You had a clue what my answer would be!!! What are lugnuts?? :lol: :lol: :roll: Duster

Nissan is a rebadged Tohatsu. Tohatsu has been around for many years and VERY reliable in my personal experience. My old 18 hp 2-stroke Tohatsu was a little hard to start, but once the operator (me) found the right combination -- great. The new 4-strokes are smooth, quiet and as good as any...

OT/denny-o Way cool post, OM! Swap stories someday. Dusty (ex NSS, NBA, NPG, W7BQX, W1SAW, W4SAW, K6RSR, plus a bunch! Old CW op + American Morse -- really Spanish -- still copy 50.)

Joe, You know something I don't (for sure!!!), but to my knowledge and personal experience Bombardier had virtually no trouble with the eTec... I no longer have mine, but there are many of them in the local area and they are virtually trouble free. I would buy another in a NY second if I...

I miss her too, Mike. Dang, if I had footprints on my backside for the boats I've parted with and wanted back, I'd be a walking bruise. Duster

Brent, Gotta agree on the old 22 Angler classic. Les Jr. and I are rebuilding one now and hope to have it waterborne in a couple of weeks. It was an offshore Oregon tuna machine... up to 75 miles out. Big ugly fuel tanks, but when we get the Catch-22 saddle tanks in -- yummy. Dusty

Robbi, Both! But you mo' cute! :love Dusty

Merv, My backyard! And much deja vu... years ago as I was going into OH to gas up I saw a 30+ foot yacht on the wrong side... I called on 16 "White yacht proceeding in to to Oak Harbor north of buoy #... you are standing into danger. This is an emergency." Minute or two later he was high and...

Jim, Just having fun with my ol' buddy Joe. We have a three-year old Yamaha 90 (fuel injected) and a Yamaha 6 kicker. I'd buy the 60 Honda in a NY second if looking to repower. First reports I have on the 60 is it's a strong 60 -- perhaps downrated. Best, Dusty

Not really light, Joe. Where the bunks used to be -- fishing rods, tackle boxes, etc. Where the Porta Potti used to be -- bucket. Water system -- thermos of coffee and 6 pack of water (sometimes 6 pack of something else) Single burner Wallas, no sink. Must admit that the motorcycle house...

Different strokes, for sure. I had no trouble getting on plane with 75 h.p. at about 3/4 throttle. Light boat and trim tabs. For my use I prefer the smaller engine to the 90s. And of course very few Brats will agree. Have a 90 Yamaha now on a 22, have had 90 ETEC, and several 90 Hondas -- all on...

60 HP is plenty for a 22 angler if you stay light -- as I do. Lots of other views, of course -- and I have a 90 on the present angler. I fish 2, sleep 0 and keep the boat as light as possible. The Angler was designed for a light 2-stroke, and the 75 Suzy on the 22 "Little Buddy" was a beautiful...

We just did the bulkhead on the 22 classic. Beautiful job, and will send pics... don't have any right now. Teak-faced marine plywood, and with a few coats of Cetol looks much better than new. Now if I could just afford some Catch 22 saddle tanks! :lol: :lol: Dusty

Hello C-Lou, Sure miss you guys... fond memories of so many fun visits over there. Like the song says, "Dont get around much anymore," but think of you often. Stay in touch! :love Dusty

Great day! Fillet and release size for sure. Good thing Cynthia wasn’t along because she ALWAYS catches the big ones! So happy you are enjoying your home-away-from-home!! I’ll try to get over that way soon – used to be a short trip, now it’s an all-day affair. Of course I could come by boat, eh...

Robbi, :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: What makes it even worse -- they caught it right in my own backyard. Lived a couple of miles from there as a kid (yep, I was one once). :love Dusty

I'm surrounded!! Too old to fight and too young to rock. Was going to shrimp today but my partner had to work. (horrid word) If Les will start working on the old C-Dory Classic just maybe we can make some of these fun gatherings. I'd certainly enjoy a brew or two (Snoq. that is) with some of...

Hustle girls? We don't do that -- just want to discuss world affairs and local eating spots. :wink: :wink: It's the Marines that do that hustle stuff. :lol: :lol: Dusty

Sorry you must have surgery. OMG! Hate to see you kids have problems while still young. :wink: :wink: Hang in there and big hug to Sally. Duster

Timely topic. Two weeks ago BOA called and asked if we had relatives or friends in Spain who were authorized to use her card. Heck no, sez Diane. Big money (for us), but BOA took the rap, issued new cards, etc. I know their reputation, but I've been with them since 84 (that's 1984, Don) and...
