    My Quickee Sea Nymph project

    I bought this little boat in October to get my son some tiller experience and him/me some restore experience. I'm pretty much done, with one exception that I'll end with. It's a '72 14 foot Sea Nymph, some kind of a later kit trailer, and a Clinton OB. $320: First I stripped the...

    Will the real con man please stand up . . .

    Well first, I have to admit I watched a bit of The View today . . . :rolleyes: Bill Maher was the guest, and he said that "Religion is the biggest con ever". He was given a chance to clarify and confirmed it. Now maybe some of you feel similarly, and that's OK, but didn't he just call 87% of...

    Same story, giving Ryan a break because there are some vBulletin users here. How do you edit thread titles?

    Name links to sites

    I thought I would post this here to give Ryan a break. When I use the button to post a URL or if I simply paste it into a post it automatically underlines and formats as a link. I don't really see how I can edit in a name link instead. I notice that old links that I have named still work, but...

    Volvo shift issue on lake now

    A good friend just called me and his 2005 Volvo 5.7 GXi DP is stuck in neutral. He's on the lake now, but has a tow lined up. Handle will go forward and reverse, but only revs. Says it feels like the handle is shifting, but it acts like the neutral button is engaged. His daughter was at the helm...

    Faded Vinyl

    I am looking at a boat with sun faded, but not damaged, vinyl. Still soft etc. Does vinyl paint or vinyl die work? Anybody have any experience with this stuff? plasti-kote

    red port left in the bottle . . .

    I always used that port and left have the same number of letters to help me remember which side is what . . . I am hanging out with a British dude this weekend while traveling, and we were watching some boats on the river here at night and talking about running lights. He blurts out "There's...

    Beef, some more beef, and then a big chunk of beef

    I am in Australia again on business. I went to a restaurant here called Vlado's last night. Steak house, good reviews, great atmosphere . . . They use a fixed menu at $75 Aussie Dollars a head (about $65 real dollars :p ) . Includes two appetizers, a salad for the table, a main course and...

    All 3 of "them" on C-Span today

    I have been watching a little more C-Span. I am making an effort to hear stuff from the horse's mouths, instead of filtered through whatever media. Today I heard speeches from Edwards, Obama, and Ms. Rodham Clinton, it was kinda like a Sunday Horror Movie Marathon, but I digress. I am more...

    "New" 2000 Johnson 150 Ocean Pro

    I have found an OB locally that I am thinking of buying. Model # J150VXSSS S/N G04810164. I got this over the phone from a guy with a heavy accent so I wouldn't swear to it. I know it's carbed and a 25" shaft, I am wondering if anybody knows whether or not this could still be registered with...

    6 Blade Props?

    Curious about reactions to this. I've just started to see these listed by Ron Hill. I have a four blade of his that I like a lot, and I had a three blade that I loved. Sold it with a boat and I am still kicking myself.

    Gelcoat coloring agent, compatible with Epoxy?

    I have an Evercoat Gelcoat Repair Kit. It has little tubes of coloring agent included. Can I use that coloring agent with Pettit EASYPOXY polyurethane? Do they like each other?

    Cornwall, Torquay etc.

    Phil and jimlad, I have been to Torquay and taken a boat cruise down the River Dart to Dartmouth. I fell in love with Dartmouth, but that's as close to Cornwall as I've been, similar? Ya know what struck me about Torquay, and I have seen these things in Australia too, those little shacks that...

    When is enough, enough? Not politics, I promise!!

    So Hillary is . . . Jus' kidding := Semi-seriously, I got a free razor in the mail a few weeks ago. It has six flippin' blades :^ Literally five on the shaving side and a trimming blade on the flip side. Funny thing is I kinda like it. The five blades keep it very flat and I haven't cut...

    My Super Bowl Sunday (pics)

    Well really it was Saturday, but I guess I don't feel that bad now even though I have been working in Australia for the last two Super Bowls. A guy that works for us in Perth has his own Fishing Charter business on the side, Solty's Fishing Service. He just bought a new 8 meter LeisureCat made...
