here's a couple of free driving tips that I've picked up living in a ski resort town. tip#1. when the winter snow starts flying and the roads are slick you want to drive as fast as possible. Try to keep the speedo at least 5mph over the speed limit, 10 if you have a 4x4. Common sense dictates...

the original post is pretty good...maybe a little exaggerated though. I've worked a winter in sub zero temps in Evanston WY and a summer in the sweltering, hellish, heat in the Sahara by Sabha Libya and believe, like the majority of folks, that hell freezing over is much better than actual hell...

I found a couple of Merlin pics a well as a couple of 30' Tomcat pics in my AK 07 photo album.

I cobbled up a kayak stabilizer that attaches to a folding boarding ladder. Took a couple of lines that hooked onto the ladder on one end and a big fender on the other. I ran the lines inside of some PVC pipe so the fender stands off of the boat. It works great..I just stuck a pic in the B. C album

good deal, have you figured out a way to get it home? However you plan on doing it you should pencil in a few weeks of vacationing...Merlin knows the way to Elfin Cove. enjoy.

I have something like that for our RV that i got at Fred Meyer

here's some more thoughts on life jackets. Over the years there have been several different folks that have been caught in a capsized cabin boat and drown when their inflated life jacket kept them from readily escaping ( two just this fall). Then there was a chap that went in the water and the...

it's correct, the boat is the stand-on vessel but something about that spinning prop just screams "get the hell out of the way". I always used to look both ways when navigating around the Elfin Cove International airport..... the only airport in the world without a Starbucks

what a great adventure, keep those write-ups coming

do the quick easy test first, check your battery voltage while cranking. Fuel injected, computer controlled engines will crank over but not start if the computer doesn't see a threshold voltage.

electric motors are fun, one always wonders isit the motor or the circuit. A lot of good motors are mistakenly replaced. Here's a good battle plan to follow. *Load test the battery. the battery must be healthy before proceeding *check the amp draw of the motor. If high- it's probably a...

I think the old tub is just going to get another dose of elbow grease and Collenite fleetwax. I'm going to put that detail money towards a custom built roof rack incorporating a manual crab pot puller davit.

thanks for the info. I need to get out and talk to some detailers. i'll at least spring for pro polish and wax job

I'm thinking about treating my old tub to a professional detailing job. I see a lot of the local auto detailers extoling the virtues of a ceramic finish treatment. ..... has anybody had this done? is it worth it?

a hailer would be handy, especially on the Columbia. Better to have it and not use it than to need it and not have it. I always dreamed of having a horn life a freighter...damn you could have some fun with the hog lines on a foggy day :)

A nice thing about the C-Brats is the collection folks with a shared interest in C-Dory's. It's a great place to get your C-dory fix and escape the world of politics. Twins or single engine? single or twin axle? blue or red? suzuki or yamaha? these are all vital, important issues, political...

I would opt for which ever one has the better parts available and support in your area.

damn football game kept me up late, I couldn't turn it off until the game clock went to zero.
