Hello Charlie, This is an example of "securitization." Securitization, in its most basic form, is a method of financing assets. Rather than selling those assets "whole," the assets are combined into a pool, and then that pool is split into shares. Those shares are sold to investors who share...

Hello Bill & Chris Carli, Lack or loss of manufacturer's warranty on boats, cars, trucks, & other big ticket items is a common occurrence in today's economic world. My thoughts: (1) Buy a quality product from the start. That way, when the company is sold or fails and your "warranty" is...

Hello Chanley & Kim, I would encourage you to look seriously at the Ventures on the dealers' lots. Although they may not be '09 model year boats, you are not likely to locate any with a factory warranty. This is due to the recent sale of Fluid Marine to Seasport; Seasport probably hasn't...

Hello Roger, Thank you for keeping track of and photographing my rack project. It looks good and, of course, I'm anxious to see the finished product. /david

Hello Joe, Have you run software update? I'm running OS 10.5.8 with Firefox 3.5.2 and all is good. I haven't tried Safari lately. Maybe try running software update? /david

Hello Dave, That is a very nice generator pedestal. GOOD JOB! I have a question about operation of the genset whilst underway. Are you ever concerned about the salt spray getting into the front panel of the genset? You know, the part where the outlets & switches face seems to be right where...

Hello Tomherrick, What size/wattage inverter is required to power your induction cooker? And what size battery bank? That looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing. /david

Hello Gary, That is an interesting project...regarding power, will you be refitting with outboard/s on a bracket or staying with the I/O? just curious, /david

Hello Jim, When something similar happened to me recently, it turned out to be a fuel pickup tube cut at 90 degrees and stuck to the bottom of the fuel tank. I could only make 2000 rpm before she would shudder/sputter and try to stall. Notably, the fuel primer bulb would stay flat after 2...

Hello Tom, When did Brian leave Berea, KY? He had a nice shop set up when I toured there last year. /david

Hello Art, Please tell me what conditioner you use in your Wallas fuel. Thanks, /david

hello Gary, I've got one of the Garmin 8.4" screens in my boat and it works fine size-wise. I think a 10 would work fine also. If you want to keep a lower profile and believe in redundancy, they put two 8.4" side by side. Yeah...that's the ticket :lol: /david

Hello Hauptmaus, Now you've got me really curious...WHAT are the specs on your prop that give you 14K out of a 50hp motor? /david

Yes indeed, Warren! Those rocks would the the southeast side of the jetty at Bob Sikes Cut. And the gulf front homes in the background are in the very nice/exclusive 'Plantation' community (where I DON'T live) on SGI. It's such a beautiful place for boating with the Gulf, Apalachicola Bay...

Hello Neal, Sorry...If I had read your thread about the valances, I wouldn't have made the photo-posting suggestion. /david

Hello Wallkerbay, That sounds like a neat mounting system...a photo or three would really help me visualize it. If not inconvenient, maybe you could post pictures. Thanks, /david

If you like the CD25, take a look at the Venture 26 (or virtually identical hulls on Cape Cruisers). These boats have the higher transom you will like. /david

Hello Ed, I've just read the thread you reference....do you have any photos of the fuel pickup set-up to which you switched? I wonder if installing a shorter length of softer (more flexible) fuel pick up hose with the 'L' bent piece of copper or aluminum tubing friction fitted into the distal...
