    Here is a dumb one, Sole's in 22 cockpits...

    I replaced the Ikea wood tiles with one-piece tiles. They are the Runnen product from Ikea. The wood tiles lasted several years.

    Introduction and lots of questions!

    Are E/H brakes required in Canada on all boat trailers, or is this a requirement due to the weight of the Tomcat?

    I'd call it more of a stunt than an accomplishment.

    Trial Run with Spouce

    Halon is illegal. If you have an existing system that is still charged, you can keep it, but buying new is not allowed. Recharging a discharged halon system is also not allowed. There are other gaseous fire extinguishing systems (e.g. CO2). Halon works best in an enclosed space.

    Many ways to sink a boat: Plug, Washdown, and Bilge Pump

    Been there done that. Getting the boat on plane will allow the water to drain. But you still have to stop some time to put the plug in. But if you're ready to do the plug before you stop, the amount of water you have to pump out could be less.

    Truck/Trailer Storage

    I probably would look into self storage places that have RV/boat storage. They'd have spaces big enough for the trailer.

    16 foot Jon Boat attempts the Great loop speed record.

    I expect that there's going to be different classes of records. E.g. solo crew boats, boats under 20', single engine boats, electric powered boats, boats made of cardboard, boats with 12 engines, traveling the GL in reverse gear, etc. It's going to be a thing.

    My original guest charger gave up after about 8 years. Replaced it with a ProNautica one.

    Spark plug stories

    Probably running too rich. However, IMO if you are not experiencing any operation issues, "Don't fix it if it ain't broke."

    16 foot Jon Boat attempts the Great loop speed record.

    I'm wondering what he is going to do on the canals (e.g. Erie=10mph mostly). If he takes the Canadian route I think it is 6mph.

    16 foot Jon Boat attempts the Great loop speed record.

    He fell asleep and ran his boat around at speed. Who didn't see that coming?
