My Mercury 90's have been flawless, but, they are the Yamaha powerhead models. I understand they are no longer in the lineup. The Merc 200 2 stroke I ran commercially was also flawless, as was the 90 Johnson and 175 Evinrude . . . but the Merc IO I attempted to run was nothing short of Elm...

Well, we can all pat ourselves on the back for being ahead of the times -- we bought a C-Dory! On a serious note -- I already see a lot less boats out than I used to. I love my C-Dory . . .

Buried deep in the Fed statement is the only way this works is if the money is spent on American made goods . . . Simply sending the money overseas doesn't help us.

For the gold in the creek: Pack a sluice like you saw me working, that is your best tool for the creek. Keene Engineering makes several models of that, including a shortie model that will fit in a 5 gallon bucket. That and a small shovel and you're in business. I bought one of these 30 power...

You must have gotten the Excalibur, I have been using it for the past 12 years (with others -- I use them all) -- a top of the line unit (especially for larger gold (jewelry, coins, etc). Good luck with your project!

As far as the gold goes, there's nothing more pleasurable to me than finding my own. Some of you are cruising past or landing on river bars just loaded with the stuff. Here's a brief video of how to do it with minimal expense and with a few items you can easily keep on the boat: Finding Gold...

You could simply view the waters you're talking about beforehand so you'll have an idea of what anchorages and types of water are available to you: http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=5703

Agree. Let's not go down the lutefisk road again, although in fairness, what is described above isn't traditional lutefisk as I was forced to eat growing up. I won't even describe the procedure for making it -- it's to horrible to contemplate. If it tastes edible, you didn't make it properly...

I wonder if that could be used for crowd control -- it certainly seems effective in immobilizing the cameraman. You just never know how dangerous these big cats are until you see one in action!

I set mine in the motorwell with the exhaust pointed out. You can use a couple of boards to make it sit level.

Never go to a zoo again without watching this 15 second clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbbVxkMRqXA Education is always the best defense against attack. Matt

Excellent! History of whiskey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imCwYLEMfyA Loaded.

I don't know if it will teach anything, but this is how I do night work on film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gra0NJp2AH4 I have many many hours of night flying in tailwheel aircraft, and the main thing is to have your head ready, everything in the way of charts close at hand, and all...

Looks like I will be in Atlanta for Christmas, far from water . . . My best to the C-Brats for Christmas! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imCwYLEMfyA (I hope that's the Christmas video and not the nude one)

I always suspected the 22 owner was more artful and refined, and you have just proved it. Thanks!

It's OK, their next boat will probably be a C-Dory.

It really doesn't matter which boat you get, they're both great. Just make sure you get a Mercury to power it, they're much better than those other engines . . . :mrgreen:

Amen.

Florida to New Mexico and back, in winter.

Are you towing a fish? Looking for bombs, wrecks or both? Part of the state survey of the panhandle area? If it turns out to be the stemguard, I removed the screws, inserted JB Weld, went along the sides of the guard, and with my finger simply put a bead of JB into the crack, sealed over that...
