Thanks for the replies. I'm trying SharpYachtTransport and I'll keep the group informed. Seems perfect for me here in Or./Wa. --Ed.

I need help finding a company that could tow my 22ft'er from Oly. Wa, area to central Oregon coast. I've searched on the site and read some very scary stuff. Was going to use Dudley Boat Transport in Gig Harbor but it's out of business and there is a BBB warning on the company.

Guys, I guess my humor is a little too dry. Mark, I was kidding about the wrench and trying to make the readers think a bit more about ohms law as it applies here. I was hoping I could make people see you can have the potential across the battery terminals "E" equal to zero but you'd also...

Guys, So here's something to ponder. Put a wrench across the terminals of your starting battery as in a dead short. What would the terminal voltage E be then? E would go down to zero wouldn't it? What would the current, I, be at that moment? Zero right? It be OK to do this because as E goes...

My guess is you don't actually have "static". Boat radios are FM (frequency modulated) and should be fairly immune to AM ( amplitude modulation) noise which static is defined as. If you completely disconnect the antenna at the radio do you still have the "static"? It's true a badly designed...

If you like the looks of the Maple Bay I'd bet you'd like this .... http://www.devlinboat.com/blackcrown30.htm' And with it's 200hp (vs Maple Bay's 35) it's more practical. Just beware the price but it's a beautiful boat inside and out. Ed.

If I'd known what a valance was before now I would have thought it's a perfect idea. Like this ?? http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=p ... lpage=none

I'd be very careful about charging parallel batteries. For starters the two batteries should be as electrically identical as possible. Same group, manufacturer, and build date. The goal is identical internal resistance. Both batteries should be at a similar state of charge. Remember that...

The question I have about buying/selling is how do you handle the transaction. You can't take personal checks. Bank/Certified checks are not secure. I've heard about escrow accounts. Any ideas?? Ed.

Daves Marine Electronics possibly. goto: http://www.davesmarineelectronics.com/i ... rodID=8568 I agree with Sneaks tho.

All, I think two radios are are a great idea. I remember going under the Tacoma Narrows bridge a few years ago and I had a handheld so I could talk to the guy in the skiff that was directing us on where to cross under while I never missed normal traffic with the main radio. I know you guys...

Hello all, Two antenna's on two radios will work but keep them as far apart as possible. The theory is as they say "beyond the scope" of this web page but a couple things will happen. One is the two antennas will couple to a varying degree. Antennas are tuned circuits so the transmitting radio...

U.S. DOJ, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Statistics web page. In 2005 6.4% and in 2007 6.06% were "non-citizens" in federal and state prisons. Non-citizens means by the way both legals and non-legals.

Thank you! But how did you know what my winter project was?? 73, Ed.

Thanks everyone who responded. I'm still thinking on this. What's most important to me is what's most important to her.

This is difficult but I need some help. I've had a boat since I retired 5 years ago. At first it was a lake sailboat then in 2006 I bought a 2006 C22. I got the C22 not only because I liked it but because my wife didn't like the sailboat. The problem is she has MS. Not severe but she's not...

I'd also like to mention that I use my fishfinder/sonar/echosounder or whatever you call it to tell me speed, water temp, battery and charging voltage as well. It's also GPS/WAAS capable and gives some NAV data. I even play a little with the NMEA interface to my laptop. It wasn't expensive either.

Once and for all, what parts of a CD-22 (newer than 2002) are balsa cored?? Isn't the transom marine plywood?? Are the hull and deck the only balsa cored parts?? Then that begs the question how would they bond a plywood transom to a balsa cored fiber glass hull? I ask because I've got screwed...

can we please avoid politically motivated POV and references to unqualified blogs and sources. Lets stay with discussing what makes this a great site, our boats and boating. This is a slippery slope.

Looking good so far. I, like oldgrowth, am curious about the site. Debian? phpBB2 ?
