Yea Roger, Though you're stay in Alaska was abbreviated due to the frigid weather the legacy and tales you generated while here are prominent in Fairbanks folklore. The legend lives on!

Amen, on the Mobil1 synthetic oil. A little spendier, but a lot better product, particularly for the extreme temperatures. It cuts down on the wear factor and up's the cold weather starting reliability. Diesel's don't like cold weather starts so they present a greater challenge than gas...

Joe, you'd frequently be right on Tok, but not this time around. Current temp in Tok is -28.1, Fairbanks has warmed to -39.6 and North Pole, which is a small town about 12 miles south of Fairbanks has -47 at present, but has been under -60 during this spell. Enough of that, think SBS!

I've got one of those wireless weather stations that go down to a max of minus 39.9 degrees. It's been reading OFL (off limit) for several days now. A plus in this scenario is that when it gets this cold the wind doesn't work either. At least the "weather" wind. You might want to try it...

We're in the middle of a protracted cold spell. Temperature in Fairbanks as we speak is -51 degrees F. Even Joe (Sea Wolf) would have to swap out his sneakers and cut offs for long johns. Seattle in January has to be a step up weather wise, even if it's nasty. See ya all at the SBS.

Byrdman has it right. Running a jet unit as opposed to a prop with the same powerhead are equal pollution-wise, for a fixed period of time. The jet loses about 40% in efficiency vs the prop so it takes longer to get point to point with the jet thus timewise the jet will take longer to...

SBS runs from January 23rd through February 1st.

Joel, I would like 2 of the Hatch covers. Glad to pay for them and something for the hassle of re-packing them and shipping. Appreciate your diligence in running these down and getting them. Those hatch covers C-Dory has been using are a real pain in the b____. Thanks, Mark on 3rd Byte

Glad you like the Fusor #171. I've found that stuff indispensable. It's one of those "Don't leave home without it" items. I just picked up another roll here in Fairbanks last week and it ran about $12,00 also. It's amazing that as solid as that stuff bonds that you can remove it without...

Fusor #171 clear double sided tape made by Lord works very well for holding to smooth surfaces, ie: gelcoat, etc. It is tenacious and will take some effort to remove the item. However once removed the tape will roll up, here again, with a little effort and will not leave a mark or any tape...

Sure, might also add Bayliner, Sea Ray, Arima, and Sea-Doo.

Sometimes one only has to observe the appellation of the sender to determine the contents of his message to be an assemblage of total obfuscation.

You did good Boodalu. Don't worry about all the hyperventilation. Sometimes things get carried away around here. Most of all don't worry about Joe pointing that gun around. He's just pissed off cause he didn't get to the boat show this year. The guy you need to worry about is Dan, our...

Hey guys, back up and take a deep breath. I'm having a problem with this shoot first mentality. Especially when the guys with all these guns are shooting in the dark. Let the story.....accurate information, at least come to light before the execution begins. Thanks. Ok, I'm driving a...

Try "Rocna" anchor and see if that's the one you're thinking about. I believe it is out of New Zealand and it has a "roll bar".

Fairbanks to Seattle, WA. 1 time.................4,600 miles R.T. Fairbanks to Oympia, WA. 1 time...............4,750 miles R.T. Fairbanks to Oak Harbor, W. 1 time...........4,500 miles R.T. Total miles...............13,850

Chuck, no problem answering any question you might have on my trim tabs. I little further explanation is required. The posts that I made earlier with reference to the trim tabs, which Joe posted above (thanks Joe), are dated. However the pics he posted are the current ...2nd generation of my...

Joe, you've obviously got too much time on your hands if you're going to crank these out by fist. Somehow I'm having a hard time relating this to a "fun" project. Thanks for posting the pic's on the thread.

OK, the photo's of the Quick Links are now on 3rd Byte's photo album.

I'm the culprit on this one. They are a split quick link and are absolutely cool. I'm not savvy enough to put a pic on this thread, but I will put some pic's on my "3rd Byte" album this afternoon (it's the first album). I'll show the plain links as well as with the weighted line...
