    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    Yeah, for a first splash, I pretty want 0-5mph. After I'm used to the boat and satisfied with its reliability, I'd stay out and fish until the wind kicks up to about 15, then I'd call it a day and head home. When I splashed the Kingfisher 5 years ago, the temp was 82 with low humidity and a...

    Welk, I was supposed to splash the boat tomorrow, but the weather isn't going to cooperate. My buddy finally had time available and we were each going to bring our boats. Dangitall. Winds are supposed to be 15-20mph and that's too much for me. :(

    Nobody fishing?

    My wife and I got over to the fishin' hole this afternoon and had a good time. I caught one nice little bass and she caught a bunch of bluegill, one of which was really nice. We saw a gator, a coyote and a doe as well. A pleasant time. :cool:

    Scientist claim to have brought back Dire wolf

    I saw a report yesterday by a guy who's in that biz and he said that it really wasn't a full on Dire wolf. They just used a gray wolf and modified a tiny bit and basically ended up with a white, gray wolf. :sneaky:

    Launch is scrubbed for tonight due to weather. But, I got my laptop working again. :cool:

    Looks dubious for a launch tonight. They just set T-0 to 2059, which is the end of the window. And my laptop is giving me problems now too. :cautious:

    Yeah, there's a weather delay due to a system off the east coast. Current T-0 is 2039.

    I'm sitting here watching the Rays game while having the rocket launch on a smaller computer tab, playing solitaire and ready to step outside when the rocket launches to see it go. Caught the Rays getting a Grand Slam too! Oh yeah, posting on iBoats. Fun stuff! :cool:

    Can I put a 28 hp Johnson on my 14' Aluminum Sea King?

    About 15 years ago, I had a 14' Sea Nymph boat that had side helm. It was rated for 35HP, but I had a 25HP Mercury on there. It worked fine and yours would likely be about the same. I figure that my Sea Nymph got up to about 25MPH.

    Weren't they hunted to extinction? Maybe they're tasty! :unsure::LOL:

    Scientist claim to have brought back Dire wolf

    There have been 4 movies telling us why starting down this road isn't a good idea. :sneaky:

    So close and yet so far... 🤪 My buddy came over this morning and helped me get the XR6 running. I guess I wasn't squeezing the fuel bulb hard or fast enough. Must be out of practice! 😄 Anyway, the engine is running great, but my bud didn't have more time to go for a splash today. And next...

    Healthwise, I'm doing fine. Improving quite a bit. Able to do a lot more. :cool: I don't want to splash this boat alone. I need somebody around who has capabilities to help if there are issues, minor or otherwise. My 35 y.o. neighbor friend is that guy. And he's one very busy fella. So...

    Harbor freight jack.

    I have a variety of HF powered and non-powered tools. All have held up well for me in my DIY efforts. I had a 125 PSI compressor that lasted 15 years, sometimes with heavy use, before the circuit board failed and I gave the unit to my neighbor for scrap. Definitely worth the $99 I paid for...

    Yeah, it was seriously stupid. "The best charter captain you'll ever meet" could likely lose his license.
