Hey guys just to give you warning, Randy is headed west on I-40 on his way back to Tennesee. I will let you know when it arrives so you can safely go out in public. I talked the "Bird" (Randy) into bringing me one those new fangled safes with the electronic lock. It is one of the Cannon Safes...

I had the pleasure of meeting Mike and his Hatteras yesterday. He was taking "Hattitude" down to Southport and stopped in to see us at Swan Point. Paul and I went out to catch lines and I went to catch the bow line and lo and behold, the First Mate was none other that "Tom Slane" of Slane...

Go here and watch the video, and contact your congress and senators tomorrow morning first thing. We are all screwed if the bail out of wall street and banks gets passed. Our idiot congress has already passed it, we have to stop it dead in the Senate. Don't think for a minute that you will not...

I don't understand this kind of thing. How can Ford can make this available everywhere but here? http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/automotive_news/4221669.html I am writing my congressman tomorrow. CAFE standards my ass! Kind of makes you think that the conspiracy theorist might actually...

Here is a good link to a study on E-diesel. http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/pdfs/34817.pdf It shows what a dumb idea this is, and the changes to equipment, infrastructure that would have to be made. The biggest hurdle is safety due to the flash point of alcohol being less safe than gasoline.

Anyone have a picture of an engine powered bilge pump setup?

I have numerous spools of USCG tinned copper wire, all sizes and colors. If nobody wants any, it will be going to the scrap man. Those who are interested contact Starman, he is in possesion of all of it and can answer any questions.

Got your attention with that one, didn't I? I got excited just thinking about it. I had to find the all glass hull that I wanted and strip it. But what if Hatteras did it and followed the blue print but with some modernization???? I would sign up tomorrow, well maybe in a year after I get my...

can anyone explain how to post pictures using the little icon inside the "Post New Thread" box? I cannot figure out how to attach a picture file. I tried the FAQ list butt nothing is there.

I got a real education on adequate vent size to feed high HP diesels at the boat show. The 8v92 pulls over 800 cubic feet per minute for a natural aspirated engine. I am trying to calculate the air draw for turbo charged engines. it would appear that a turbo would double this requirement...

I found my next boat. Look at this: http://www.amsgrant.com/files/ams17.html http://www.tributeboats.com/prod01.htm "Fuel consumption of the MTU 12V183 engines at wide open throttle is a mere 57.7 gallons per hour and at 1900 RPM, they each burn 27 gallons per hour. Dick Moroso's Speed...

I am looking for any recommendations on an under counter drawer type refrigerator and freezer units. The ones I have seen so far are rediculous prices, but I want this type of unit, and if there are no other choices I will have to pay for them. But, I am looking for input and possible brands...

After the discussion on another thread about boat collisions, I walked over to my reading shelf and took a look. If you are new to being a Captain of something larger than a bass boat, here are some recommended reference materials. I am sure there are others but this is the short list. Small...

Has anyone used any finishes that work better than varnish that really lasts and looks as good? I hope there are some new inventions, since varnish looks real good and then is very labor intensive after that. I am all ears. I would like first hand use recommendations, not the slick marketing...
