    A friend & suicide

    The wife, I and our two kids were sitting at Friendlys today around 2 o’clock waiting for our order to arrive. The wife’s cell phone rings and she picks up. After a few seconds she has a bad look and gets up from the table and walks out to the lobby area. Now this is nothing new on a Saturday...

    Calling snapperbait

    I was just on the "show us your old boat" post and ran across yours. Its a 1972 TigarCraft Bengal?? How long is it? How wide at the transom? It sure looks like a Nova Marine / Nova but with the deck removed and a center console added. I have seen where one company did that to a Nova 19 after...

    Thinking plants?

    Thinking plants? How come plants seem to almost think or evolve? <br />Plants grow fruit so animals will eat them and poop out there seeds elsewhere, spreading there genetics around. Some trees release there seeds in those helicopter things that fly all over the place and then there is that...

    The wife yells down into the basement. Honey you have to come see this!!! I run up the stairs to see her pointing at a AAA magazine. “Its a photo contest and look at the fifth place photo”. I look and what do I see? A picture I have taken many times and not to be conceded but mine are much...

    Anyone want to see my new website?**updates**

    Haven't been around much in the last few weeks. Been working on this www.supernova19.com This is my first try. Got about two weeks into it and found out I had a obsolete site building program. Long story short it took over a week just to get it published. I am a little burned out on it now...

    Have you ever shipped a motor????

    Have you ever shipped a motor???? I may have a deal on a complete big block motor from pulleys to bell housing. The problem is it’s 840 miles from home. Not that I wouldn't mind checking out my buddy's home base and his on going boat project (my boats twin). For that matter I haven't even met...

    My 1st purchase from iboats

    Well I finally did it. It was small but after all these years I found something. Hope this helps keep the board sponsors alive. Also I will be judging my experience with iboats on this item alone so the pressure is on. :D...

    Are boaters better in the snow.

    Not really for the front wheel drive folks but those of us who still have rear wheel drive. I don't know if is when I was a kid I used to love spinning around in parking lots with the car and/or is it because I have been a boater all my life. I do know that snow dose not scare me. If the rear...

    Who’s got a great idea??

    Have you ever sat there and wondered “why don't they do that”? I have. <br />The most recent is “there should be a scenery channel on TV.” Like a web cam but with all the benefits of television (clarity, no jerky movement, etc). The camera could be on places like a stormy coast, a farm, a...

    Here you were worried about Clear Channel rock stations going Spanish. ********U

    Here is one I grew up on. The first station in the area to go progressive and get out of the top 40 play list. Even the other rock stations in the area are mentioning the change on there morning shows and most seem sad to see them go. Today I will be resetting my presets on all my stereos. That...

    Supercharger, would you?

    For the people who know me here know I have done everything possible to my I/O motor (Mopar 360ci) to suck out every HP I could get. But now I am at kind of a “wall”. There isn't much else I can do short of yanking the whole thing out and starting over with a big block. If I do buy a big block I...

    Can I flip my box hitch upside down.

    The box that slides into the receiver has a lip where the ball mounts to it. Mine is on the bottom. When I tow my boat I have noticed that the bow is on a real down angle when on level land. I figured some angle would be O K but after looking at couple pictures just now it is way to much. If I...

    Hey Mopar guys

    I just herd that the V-10 is just a 360ci V-8 with two more cylinders grafted on. True? Dose it keep the same bolt pattern to the transmission? Dose the older Mopar LA small block have the same transmission bolt pattern as the newer 360’s? <br /> Thanks
