    Found this neat mosquito net for the deck hatch

    Hi guys,<br /><br />I just found this neat mosquito net for the deck hatch of the boat. Three different sizes, held in place by the weight of the lead rope sewn into the edge of it, tucks away in a small pouch when not in use.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />I haven't seen anything like this at...

    What do you think caused this?

    Hi guys,<br /><br />I keep thinking about finding me some sturdy US boat, and stumbled across this beauty - which of course is way, way, way out of my price range.<br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/marine_classifieds/adv-search.cgi?id=63476-ad <br /><br />However, the pictures show...

    Are there boats like Grady but with an inboard diesel?

    Hi guys,<br /><br />I am thinking of buying & importing a used sturdy American boat, like a Grady, but would like it to have an inboard diesel engine. Do any such exist, and if so, which brands would you recommend I look at? (26-32' range)<br /><br />A similar boat to what I think I seek would...

    Has anyone tried the Jetpac outboard diesel waterjet?

    I read an article last year about this new product:<br /><br />www.jetpac.us<br /><br />It's the first combination of outboard, diesel & waterjet, and supposedly works really well. If it does, how come it is not causing a greater stir in the market?<br /><br />Have any of you seen or tried...

    About that little fin above the propeller....

Sticks down towards the prop and slightly behind it. It is mounted to a horizontal plate that "covers" the prop from above (anti-ventilation...

    Diesel fuel additives; voodoo or real benefits?

    Hi guys,<br /><br />There are some diesel/fuel additives (i.e. Soltron, Startron, XBee) that claim to have an enzyme-content that works miracles on the fuel in the holding tanks. Benefits claimed include more efficient fuel burn, less fuel consumption, getting rid of water in the fuel...

    I don't get it - why do you call them "bass boats"?

    Hi guys,<br /><br />I don't get it - you keep referring to a type of boat you call "bass boat", and I would expect this to be some kind of boat suitable for bass fishing...<br /><br />Now, bass boats are apparently some kind of purebred speed boat, good for speeds up to 80-100 mph? Why are they...
