    They talk the talk but....

    .....what did you really expect. All show and no go! from an article in the Washington Post. "Democratic lawmakers and watchdog groups say they are baffled that Pelosi would go out of her way to back Murtha's candidacy after pledging to make the new 110th Congress the most ethical and...

    A brand that should not have died!

    As far as I am able to determine Gulfstream, of Salt Lake City, never built more than two sizes of boats. They had an 18 ft that started out with a Buick V-6 or a Chevy inline 6 and a 20 footer that had a variety of power plants. Again, as far as I can tell, they made boats from sometime in...

    Internet Explorer 7.0-New header layout?

    is any one else PO'd at the changes in IE7 in regards to the top menu/tool bars? They have needlessly rearanged every thing and split up a bunch of the different functions, placing some of them on seperate bars. I suppose I will get used to it but I think it was nothing but changes for changes...

    Oregon State vs UCLA radio announcer?

    Anyone from the PNW listen to the game in Pasadena today? I want to know who the announcer was. I was listening on 1190 KEX, out of Portland and the one I want to know about was named Mike. If you know, let me know and I will tell you why later.

    Different Prop question-4 blade-different boat.

    I've long wanted to try a 4 blade prop on my Gulfstream. I am currently running a 15 x 17 cupped Michigan Wheel 3 blade. Since I installed my semi-hotrod 5.0 ltr, 4 bbl, roller cam motor, I have not yet let it run out to WOT. It kinda scares me, it's such a demon.(and a gas hog at high rpm)...

    If you think the German thing is the end of it.....

    ....guess again. They are beside themselves over the opportunity of payback. They are going to expend more energy seeking revenge than they are running the Government. IMHO, you people just elected a bunch of third world thugs. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15657198/

    Germans to investigate and charge Rumsfeld...

    ...for crimes associated with Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay. George Tenant and Alberto Gonzales also to be named. Here we go. The witch hunt is on. The following is a quote from the article in the Times/CNN website: "Germany was chosen for the court filing because German law provides...

    Let's make Beachcraft's first internet archieve.

    Hopefully there will be others to post information and pictures of the Salem Oregon made craft. I don't know anything about the Company other than the fact that they are now defunct. I do not know when they started or when the quit. I also do not know what range of craft they made, nor do I...

    Merc 888/898-Merc 1 prop size survey.

    All you guys that have the above combination, in 17 to 19 ft runabouts, what prop sizes are you running? I am confused. The appropriate Merc Manual shows that I should be running a 15 1/4 x 21p-15 spline prop. Yet I have two examples of the above combination that apparently have 13 1/2 x 21p...

    Voter Fraud?

    With all these close races, when will the Republicans start whining about voter fraud. When will they start demanding that they be allowed to count till they win? When will they start screaming that the elections were stolen?

    Any one have experience with this SS prop?

    Apollo Stainless 3-Blade Propeller 15 1/4"x19 7754567 I am currently running a 15 1/4 x 21p aluminum blade on my Merc 1 outdrive. I need a spare prop and thought it my be good to drop down one pitch size. It uses the Mercury Flo Torque Hub system. I found this prop on ebay and it is a good...

    Another Merc winterization question.

    This is for Merc One outdrive. The factory manual states: "Open water drain holes (one located in gear housing and 2 in drive shaft housing) and use a piece of wire to make sure they are open" Other than this reference, nowhere in the manual can I find anything else regarding these 'drain...

    Merc one outdrive reseal and impeller?

    I have no history on my '76 Merc One outdrive although it looks to be in excellent shape on the exterior. I think I should tear it apart to check it out. There are two things that make me think it is necesssary: One is I've burned an exhaust boot (I'll check the risors) and I do not know the...

    Outdrive Stand?

    Has anyone built a quick and easy outdrive stand to facilitate working on your Merc outdrive. It would seem to be clumsy to disassemble, reseal, replace water pump etc by just throwing it up on a bench. If ya got any pictures, please post 'em.

    Merc 888 exhaust risor elbows?

    At the exhaust end of the 888 risors, both on the right side, there is a drain plug. Why is this here? I'm not even sure that the manual specifies to pull these plugs for winterization, but I did pull them. At first, no water came out. I stuck my pocket screwdriver into the holes, could feel...

    Xcusme, can you be of assistance?(ISSUE SOLVED w/ mea culpa)

    Trying to find the driver, for a PCI ethernet card, that had been recently operating in my Win2K machine. I may have uninstalled it before I pulled the card to make way for some other PCI device. But I assume the driver is still there somewhere. The card is an intel card with no model...

    Approximate cost of a risor boot.

    I fired up my BeachCraft yesterday, pursuant to winterizing it. I noticed a lot of water splashed on the inside of the transom and gathering at the base on the floor. I crawled in over the battery and saw a little wet spot that was sputtering out water on the boot that goes from the risor to...

    Now if this just doesn't take the cake!

    The UK hires Algore to advise them on global warming. What a hoot. Maybe he'll have better luck getting the Brits out of their cars than he did his own countrymen. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/15480912/ It's sad to see my British cousins, who for so long had stiff backbones, turning to mush...
