Overboard? Full Speed Ahead!

When to the tea party rally in downtown Sarasota, FL. The organizers thought about 50+ folks would show up. The final count will be between 1500-2000 folks. People from all different parties showed up. There is a bunch of unhappy folks albeit republicans, democrats, independents...

Funny it took a little longer to feel that way about Carter

Maybe we could talk the administrators into giving us another category. I was sitting there looking a Freebirds offer (slaes pitch). And thought why not let everyone have a business listing. Guidlines like 50-100 posts etc. Non-competitive to Sams etc. I know when I need a safe I'll get it...

Surfing the yachtworld listings saw a 1988 80' Hatteras in excellent condition for $599k. That's an awfully good deal if it is real. Next, Island Packet just came out with a new 41' boat that gets 30 nmpg at 6 kts (round numbers),15 nmpg at 7 kts, and 5 nmpg at 8 kts. Now that's some kind of...

How would like to be caught out in the middle of that? http://www.wunderground.com/MAR/flm.html?map=wave#map garyd

WHY I'M VOTING DEMOCRAT I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would. I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it. I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I...

Well got the oil analysis back from the lab after calling them since it did not show up. Techy said looks very good kinda surprized. I'm not a chemist so here they are. This oil analysis was from 110 hours of usage and at least 65 hours at 800 rpm and another 10-15 hours at 425-550rpm. The...

This boat was traded in to Marinemax up in the panhandle. Anyone know this boat. No bow pulpit and no bow rail. 8v92's garyd

When I was on vacation I had to clean the AC strainer and the generator strainer. Believe it or not both of them had studs that were a little tight and both broke off. So I took some heavy duty tie wraps and tie wrapped them shut. It worked. After I got back I purchased new studs $17.00 ea...

Anyone have any experience with these type of rails? This is the first I've seen them. Another 41 owner says he has seen them and claims they can add 1.5 kts and reduce roll. What say ye? garyd

O.K. I've thought this through I think. We just got done running the boat for 100 hours. The generator for about 200 hours. At an average of say 20 gallons an hour on the engines total. 20 x 100 = 2,000 gallons. At a return of say 5 to 1 that's 10,000 gallons that went throught the fuel...

Aparently the Bahamians have got it figured out. Before they left they added a couple of more rather large ladies and several very drunk husbands LOL. garyd

Anyone have an old autopilot for sale? garyd

This was taken in the cut at Normans cay. We were anchored overnight just west of the airplane wreck. The anchor held in 2.5 kts of current that changed 180 degrees.

Northern Lights 8kw 1999. It has always worked perfect. It struggled and quit. So I changed Fuel filters but the problem continues. It is repeatable here goes. It will run for 1 minute and 45 seconds. Then starts to die for 5 seconds a little then comes back and tries to die for 5 seconds then...

Well we are thinking about going to the Bahamas again. Last year we were going thru the big O. when they shut it down we had no plan b. So this year we have plan a and b. Each takes us to Miami then to Bimini. Where I thought we would clear customs then go on to Great Harbor. Spend a few days...

Last year when we were in the keys we found Diesel at $2.76. Doubt it will be that this year. However had a fellow Hatt owner that just got back from the keys and reported $2.75 a gallon. How'd he get that? Well turns out that a bunch of boaters got together and purchased a whole tanker full...
