Roger,
You'll find this editorial in today's Cape Cod Times on point. The subject came up after a fellow attempting to row to France had to be rescued for the third time.
You can read about it Here, at least until it gets moved to the paid archives
The lawsuit is perfectly understandable because the plaintiffs lawyer knows it may have nuisance value.
Awhile back there was a nightclub fire in RI where many perished.
Named in the lawsuit was Budweiser because they provided free promotional material for the club and had DEEP POCKETS.

I use 100LL Avgas exclusively. Present local retail is $3.85 @ Gallon but I get a price break having once owned the facility. There are much higher QC standards for Av Fuels right down to daily testing at the pump (and retaining your daily samples for a period of time for liability reasons)

IMHO & to corrupt an old saying,
"You can never be too rich, too thin or have too much extra space on your hard drive."
Once you start downloading & archiving video, its nice to have plenty of space :thup
Kinda off topic but I was vacationing in Key West about 15 years ago. The hotel was renting PWC for $75@hr and the airport was renting airplanes (2 place) for $55@hr. Herein is a good example of supply and demand. We rented the airplane and flew over the Dry Tortugas - somewhere I've got a...

Now there's good solution from a long way south of the border! :thup
Good to see an international chapter(?) of the C-Brat brethern checking in :lol:
Do you own a C-Dory & What type of anchors do you manufacture?

Back in the day, I was lucky enough to have access to my dad's '62 cherry red Vette. 345 hp, 80 mph in 2nd gear, gas $.35 @ gallon -
I guess we weren't very "green" but some great memories.
If I owned the company (and times were better), I'd commission a production run from a model company. I'd see to it my dealers got a distribution so a model would accompany the boat papers with each sale. I'd also sell some through my factory store - if I had a factory store.
Which makes me...
I'm in from April to mid December. I could be in today but the ice floating in the harbor isn't kind to the hull. I have a Mr. Buddy heater which works well.
In the really cold weather I've had issues starting the Honda and the kicker.
One thing to keep in mind. If you do have a problem the...
I agree with Dr. Bob -
I'm sure the moderators will give them a sharp price to "reach our eyeballs" by placing an ad for their clothing in the top right section of the screen. :disgust

It seems clear to me "capt4stroke" joined solely to offer his stuff for sale. Last time I checked that's not the purpose of the forum. Heck, some "vendors" pay the site for ad space - check the upper right of the screen.
FWIW: I missed logging in one day and was 161 posts behind sooo I'd rather...

Way Off Topic:
About a month ago my keys fell overboard at my slip after our town's Christmas boat parade. I knew their approximate location in about five feet of water (at low tide) Magnets were not going to work but I called a commercial shell fisherman who knows how to use a...
