Hey all, long time gone but I have a question. A fellow owed me some money years ago, so instead of paying me, he gave me a nice novirua (??) dingy with a thirty HP yamaha. I mounted it on the bow of my boat and only used it in the bahamas. Now 10 years later I want to sell it but I never got...

Well about 7:30 pm last night, someone starting beating on the side of the boat. I opened the door and the girl from boat next door yells "FIRE!" I looked at her and she points across the marina, I turned my head and went "SHHEEEEET!" Grabed my camera and off I went!

I noticed on my hand held VHF that when I turned onto channel 80,79,78 etc.. that it said "INTL" on the screen. When I turn on my VHF on the flybridge and turn to the upper channels, It says "USA". Is there a button or something I hit on the hand held, or is the same thing? thanks, Captned MBMM

Hey Guys, had a leaking seal at my lower helm station. Gave it to a friend that said he could "Fix it". You know how that turned out! Just got it back from the repair shop and installed it. I filled up my resevior, pumped it up to about 25 PsI and starting spinning the wheel. It firmed up...
