I lived in central Florida years ago and I remember going to pick up a date at her parent's house and I noticed that they had a punt/jon boat tied to the back porch rail. They were about 500+ yards from the beach (their place was on Long Boat Key). I asked why they had a boat sitting on the...

Now I do not see much difference between no motor and a motor that is not used or not usable. We see lots of houseboats here at Lake Mead with either no motors or motors (especially in-boards - dare I say Volvos?) that do not run. Also cabin cruisers in the same condition. We have a small farm...

Very interesting aluminum work on this boat. Here is the SE Alaska Craigslist link: https://juneau.craigslist.org/boa/d/craig-2004-dory/6933784416.html

I had mentioned earlier in the thread about the butane stoves: "I use the small under $20 butane stoves. I just bought a brand new one at the 99 Cents only store for $6.50 with a carrying case and I buy the fuel carrtidges at Asian markets for $1.00 each. Build yourself a gambaled bracket and...

I have several one pound bottle stoves, word of caution, they rust, especially in salt air environments but I sometimes find themsafety on sale for well under $20.00. Bob is right, gas is dangerous. If you can stand the smell and slow heating, alcohol is much safer. I use a variety of DYI...

I have spent many an hour hunting for this item. The classic is the no longer made Bremer Sea Swing. They can go for as much as $400 and use one pound propane bottles or an adapter to a larger gas bottle with hose. Here is a link to a home built version at...

Great looking listing. Note the two overhead hatches P/S. Nice touch. Bob

I once owned a Cape Dory 36 sailboat. Big full keel hull and I had no anchor lifting help other than my arms and back. I had a CQR, 50 feet of chain and 450 of nylon line. Also another 200 feet of nylon to add to the total length if we went to San Clemente Island (the Navy makes you moor way off...

Shucks, thought there was a new boat called a C-Dort!!! Bob

I went to Doc Warner's in Excursion Inlet not far from Gustavus last year. Great trip and all three of us on our boat brought home 100 pounds of halibut fillets caught on five days of fishing. We could have caught more weight of fish but it took a day or two to figure out how to self-guide. Not...

I was looking in the Forums page and not the summary on the Home page. Bob

Am I missing something? I do not see an ad.

-- I seem to remember that only eight of these were made by a PNW builder of some repute. Hard to compare a C25, different toy for sure. I have seen a video of the AT24 making a turn, it does seem to lean a bit but I have no idea about secondary stability. They were in the $50K +zone not that...

Interesting comment. I had a long reply typed in and hit the erase button by accident. So here is a brief thought or two: #1 I suggest using the best products and alongside help you can afford when dealing with high voltages, especially in a marine environment. #2 I am not a fan of Marinco...

Great topic, I ride horses and we all have electric to our campers and trailers. This item I have found to be faultless. Even pulls apart when you go to move your bumper hitch or fifth wheel trailer and forget you have a big black or yellow cord attached. Still good to use the right grease but...

Just a note about getting your tow vehicle into the briny drink. The top of your differential has a breather as does your tranny and your front differentials if you are a 4X. If you deep dip the differential, it cools off like the trailer axles and bearings and you get water sucked into the...

Hi - could someone post the link to GR's listing? Many of us have followed her from the early days. Lots of work went into this one. Bob Jarrard

I saw a video that says it pulls 700 watts but it does go up and down from the start. Bob

I cannot say too much good about the C-Head that I bought from Cap. He has models that fit in tight spaces and I find the unit to be much better in just about every way to a Nature's Head or Air Head. Here is the link: http://www.c-head.com/ I find that doing the nasty job of "empty da stuff"...

Rule #1 here is "Be Nice". Rule #2 (See Rule #1). Bob
