Dear Brats in the Great White North here in the sub tropics I have found bullet proof insect protection. I own a 16 so I go to the remote regions and tie up for the night to trees. This device is found at Wal Mart & Amazon, its called ThermaCELL. It's just like an insect force field. The sent...

I'm guessing a good auto electric outfit will be your best bet for installition unless you are hooked up with an outfit you already use. All you need is a light sensor hooked directly in line with your anchor light. It will be acting as your switch. Not really sure this is a real good idea how...

Before this thread closes I wanna thank everybody for all the new stuff, thats what makes this site so cool from dehydrated food and just eating out every now and then makes boat travel so enjoyable. In the summer that extra salt in Mountain House isnt so bad just don't eat it every day...

Thanks Bob as always, Boris on my phone I use a program called "My Radar" I contacted the company and they told me the program doesnt cover the Bahamas. I am totally aware of Sirius radio, radio production was my career. I'm aware of all the price points and the gear I need to buy about $1600...

Would like to know how Brats feel about the Sirius weather radar service. I have been using a weather radar application on my phone for a year and am very happy with it. I'm considering the Bahamas in a year or so and learned my phone ap wont work there and I wouldnt consider this trip without a...

For the past 10 years I have been vaporizing pot, this method brings the pot to 250 to 275F and slowly releases the THC much like a dehydrator. The temp is very mild and the savings is just incredible, You will extract the THC 7 to 8 times before you throw it out. A hand held unit that I use is...

Patrick it has been so much fun watching our fellow brats spin out on this topic. It has made being 60 feel like Jr High. My walking ability is really impaired I use a Segway, electric scooter and weel chair to get around. Mine is a hereditary issue that is not fatal just inconvient, the only...

I just sent an E mail to the band "Lonsome Bert & the Skinny Lizzards" about the date and price ETC I'll keep you posted. I asked for Saturday night. If they are avilable we need to figure out the money part which I don't have a clew. I'm willing to do the foot work etc. Cliff 352 735 1601

I think outside the box completely on everybodies heating. For a year I have been using a Mr Buddy it uses a small propane tank and cost about $100. It has all the safety features and really works well. I back packed all my life and have found just about all of my packing equipment works very...

A vote Wednesday in Jacksonville Fl between St Johns Riverkeeper and the Port of Jacksonville may finally remove the Dam from the Oclawaha R to restore its natural flow. Go to St Johns Riverkeeper for the details. :thup

If you have Pot on board its pretty bad I understand, the law has the option to take your craft, this is based on so much pot that has been smuggled in by boat in the state of Fl that if the officer wants to he can ruin my day by taking my Ocklawaha Queen for a bud, that would be pretty harsh...

Hi I have a 16 and use a 50 Honda four stroke very happy, the trim tabs are not optional, when I was looking for a 16 I got to use one for a month unlimited, it did not have trim tabs, I could not see over the bow because I could never trim the bow down enough. I bought a 16 with tabs and it is...

Hey yall, I understand I did it last year. My tank sits on the port side floor and runs forward to within a foot of the port passenger seat. I have a Honda 50 four stroke with my 29 gal tank I have 165 mile range. Look at my pictures for a glance. It makes getting in and out of the boat much...

Hey guys you remember me the guy from Mt Dora, I did two weeks in 14 going up to Savanaha and back. Using fans blowing into the V berth with the forward hatch open did the trick. You just need to hang the fan in a way so the air hits you directly, it will escape out the forwad hatch making a...

Hey thanks for all this input, I sure as Hell didn't know the numbers for the alternator on a Honda 50. Your also right about Ice in the US it is always at fuel stops. I'm working on my first trip to the Bahamas so I'm trying to figure things for a longer term than I have before. All my local Fl...

I've used dry ice for my cooler prep and left it in to find everything frozen solid. So dry ice is only for prep. Back to my Ice maker idea, I'm sure it would drain a battrie quickly how ever I'm thinking about only running it off the alternator or shore power. I currently use a 200 watt...

I have a PELICAN Case cooler, It is very well insulated etc. I looked at some small counter top ice makers, the power draw is 100watts. It will produce 26lbs in 24hrs. With a cost of $170 on Amazon it looks like a good Idea any opnions ?
