    Ok, I have heard the complaints and now I have seen one.

    I have been doing a minor restoration on my boat and I was over at a friend's house doing a surge brake job. Had to order parts on line so I left my boat in his driveway for about a week. I went over tonight and next to my boat was a boat he had salted away for 3-4 years behind the garage...

    Can a paint shop custom tint Interlux Briteside?

    I am painting a small portion of my boat. A 12" strip that circles the boat with Briteside. Saffire blue is too light and the dark blue is too dark. I have a quart of Saffire but I was wondering if I could have the local paint shop add a tint to darken it up just a bit. An automotive paint...

    Burning old fuel

    I have had my boat in storage for two years with a full tank of stabilized fuel. Before I take her out on open water I would like to burn at least 25 of the 80 gallons. The easiest way would be to run her on the muffs. Any idea how long it would take to run off 20+ gallons on a 5.7L carb'ed...

    Roll and tip or spray.

    I have a two tone boat, blue and white. The blue has faded and opened up the pores. I am going to paint the blue and I have the option of rolling on or having someone spray. What is most likely to have the best outcome? I am thinking of using an interlux product.

    Cooling issue

    I fired up my 88 5.7L mercruiser w/alpha 1 after being winterized two seasons ago. New babay boy took up my free time. I hooked everything up and turned on the water and she fired right up. Problem is that the hose water was not discharging from the stern drive. The engine ran clean - no...

    1988 volvo twist prop outdrives

    I have spent the last couple of decades working on mercs and omc but know little or nothing about volvo's. I am looking at a boat with twin volvo duoprop outdrives with 350's and I am wondering what peoples experience with these are. Are there specific areas that I should be looking at? These...

    Tire replacement on SUV

    My 2005 Ford Expedition blew out the right rear tire due to a large puncture. The rest of the tires look to have about 1/2 life left. Can I replace the blow tire with a used one of the same make and model or will the differing wear and therefor circumferance create havoc for the differential...

    Any HVAC guys

    The condenser unit on my A/C unit shot craps the other day. How tough is it to install an new one? I have seen them available on E-bay and it looks like sweating in a couple of lines and hooking up the electrical. Am I missing something?

    Anyone else feel it in the air.

    40's at night, 60's during the day, days are getting shorter and shorter. Fall is in the air.

    Is this you?

    I can't believe it took this long for someone to come to this conclusion. There are many of us who are in this category. It is one of the things that I think the younger generation has called attention to and hopefully a balance can be reached. If there is a problem I have with business is that...

    What the heck is this?

    Too many jobs. I must have been misreading all the posts here stating that we have an unemployment problem. Perhaps if BIG employer would just move the jobs to locations that are convenient to those who complain this wouldn't be an issue? http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070825/western_workers.html?.v=4

    Just got back from Texas

    Spent last week in Texas. Houston to be exact. And although I have been told that Houston isn't exactly the pearl of the state, I found the people to be really friendly and easy to work with. The state wasn't what I expected, whatever that was. I worked and made presentations to over 100...

    Money, the Economy, and the Fed.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWksEJQEYVU A little different topic for the DC. But one that impacts all of us. I personally think he has gone off the deep end, but I readily admit I know little about these matters. I am concerned that we should be sending money into a market teetering on...

    Why is it so difficult?

    I have taken many a friend out on the boat with me over the years. I always like to give everyone a shot at driving the boat. I have a 25 ft boat so it is usually a unique experience for them. What part of "you have to turn the wheel back to center" is soo tough? Is the concept of picking a...

    Dem's attraction seems clear.

    Not one of the dem's running for president are interested in the moderate wing of their party. Someone tell me again that the left wing whacko's haven't set the agenda for the liberals. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070725/ap_on_el_pr/snubbing_moderates
