Tom aka Jim?, Pretty fair yarnin fer a newbie! Starcraft has got a lot of us wonderin now. I'm afraid we'll need more proof than those two photoshop pics. You really didn't super glue your motor cowling..............or did you? So what'd you name her, JIMS HOAX? Standing by. Dan

Sorry, this maybe in the wrong thread. I think our steering is Seastar and not Baystar. I guess I don't know the difference. Still would like to know what happened. Dan

After setting since November and enduring the longsest freezing snap ever seen in the south, we launched Osprey early yesterday morning. It was still below freezing but only a few degrees. Started the engines and rolled her off the trailer only to discover that the steering was frozen. The...

O.K. I've been watching this thread since it got going and will now throw in my $.02. Not really anything new to add except on the issue of cross country towing and mountains. I feel very strongly that a 1500 Z71 4x4 should be considered an absolute minimum long distance tow rig for a 22...

Denise and I traveled back to MN for the holidays on Monday and Tuesday. Had a nice waterfowl hunt with some friends in NE LA on the way. There was about 4" of snow on the ground when we arrived Tuesday evening, real pretty. On Thursday we woke up to a nice fresh foot of the pretty stuff...

Ditto, I am surprised at this thread?????????

Wow, This is a pretty heavy thread. Brats have spent lots of time composing from their hearts for us all to take in. Maybe that's why I like this place and these people. Byrdman says it all for me too, when he writes: The very best of the holiday season to y'all. Capt Dan

Boris, My memory may not be right about the 2 part, but the rear veiw mirror adhesive is fer sure!! Follow the directions to the letter and you'll be fine. Dan

Boris, We to had a near loss with the starboard latch. Here's what I did for a fix: Clean all the old adhesive off of the latch. Use an exacto knife and a magnifying lens for the last bit. Be careful not to distort the aluminum by removing too much of it. You want the maximun portion of the...

Originating from northern MN we have a 4x4 Z71 Avalanche for a tow vehicle. It has gotten us out of a number of bad situations. If for no other reason the low range aspect of 4x4 is worth having in a tow rig. Those of you with 2 wheel know what I mean when you have to gun your engine to get it...

Al, I won't hesitate to tell you that pretty much everything you have heard in response to your query is all true. Here's the truth from our perspective: If you can afford a cat and are able to transport it where you want to take it, then by all means go for it! If you are like the rest of...

Pat, Sorry we can't help but thanks for bringing this up. We need the same info! Been lauching and loading a lot lately (last time was to not give Ida a chance to mess up anything)! Will be intently watching for your results. Dan

All this is good. Engineering better product is the way today. I am very curious to see how the new engines stack up against the E-tec's. Weight to horsepower in particular. Standing by. :cocktail Dan

As has been said, it all depends what you want to do with the boat. A very small engine will move it even when heavily loaded, it just won't move it very fast. If all you wish to do is putter around on small water a 50-60 hp engine will allow you to do that in style. HOWEVER: To realize all...

Ida report from the Bon secour River: 4:00 am today storm surge plus tide at about 5'. At 7:00 am the water rose during an out going tide an additional foot to about 6'. Water underneath our unit. Chased us to some higher ground till noon or so. Lots of debris including cushions and coolers...

We are a long way from any fresh salmon down here, but I do have a nice chunk of fresh yellow fin tuna. Any thoughts about trying it out for gravlox? Marc, I'll bet you can help! Also....., kosher, pickling/canning, or sea salt? Brown sugar or white? White pepper, black, or red? Slap Ya...

Yea, We'll be hopin for a continued fizzle over here at Bon Secour as well. The best of luck to all the brats in Ida's path. Hang in there Bob. Dan and Denise

Bob and Marie, Though we were not fortunate enough to have ever met Tootsie, we have met you guys, and you stack up as awesome wonderful people. You are in our thoughts and prayers, and we very much look forward to our next encounter. Dan and Denise

As a couple who recenly did a bit of a down country trailering with a 22, (1800-2000 mi.). We can say quite emphaticaly that for any kind of Interstate movement of a 22, a full sized 1/2 ton pickup, suburban, avalanche shoud be considered an absolute minimum for long distance travel, unless...

Could whoever took the shot "Osprey Flyin Low" on page 1 of the Gulf Coast 2009 album please PM me if I might get a copy of the non resized original? Bob and Nancy maybe? Thanks much, it will be my new desktop! Dan
