Just saying thanks seems terribly inadequate but thank you for your service and sacrifice. Brian

This was at a US Marshalls auction in Tampa today. I bid to 125 boat sold for 130. Really wasn't a bad boat at all it was in forclosure and completly neglected for 2 years. But it was whole and complete no structural damage the paint probably would have cleaned up and machinery looked OK. It was...

The way it stands right now if your a 20 year old American and work until your 65. You will have to pay an aditional $114,000.00 in taxes to pay for the intrest on the debt created by the stimulas and Tarp money recently spent. That's not paying down the principle at all that's just the...

Well they printed out a quick trillion the other day. We dumped 180 billion into AIG and now they seem hell bent on running it into the ground. And the big guy has no plans of backing down on his new super budget. So for those of us not invested but with money in banks is it safe? Is it safe...

I found a good source for screws today http://www.mcfeelys.com/ And it got me thinking about posting links. We all buy stuff and we all find good sources so why not post them. If we do it responsibly and we keep in mind that this site exists because Sam's sells Hat parts would it be...

I've been looking at boats for sale and sold and I've noticed something. All boats are down in price but Hats are really down. I'm looking mainly at MYs and the killer deals aren't on the Defevers or other Tawian built boats all the steels are Hats. The only reason I can think of is the...
