I stumbled across this interesting calculator which tells you the difference in range between different height antennas. If this is correct there really isn't a lot of difference in range between a 4' and a 8' antenna. http://www.qsl.net/kd4sai/distance.html

Yeah I crack the claws and peel away some of the shell so you sort of pick them up by the pincher and suck the meat out. This is in addition to a pound of cooked picked crabmeat.

We eat a lot of blue crab around my house because they are so plentiful and I just plain love them. I'm constantly trying new receipts and the following one I got off the net somewhere but It's really delicous and I just had to share it. Crab Corn Chowder (very popular around Beaufort and...

In my boat the hull warranty was part of the negotiated purchase price. No different than the windlass or the galley or the V-berth matteress. Now when Fluid Marine went belly up so to speak I expect they proably owed some creditors. What if one of those creditors tried to came and took your...

This isn't exactly and exotic destination as some have posted but as a kid I fell in love with the Little Pee Dee River in Nichols SC. We use to cross it in the early 60's going from Wilmington NC to Jax FL. We made this trip at least once a month and every time we crossed the beautiful little...

The photo is my neighbor's dock being built on the ICW NE Florida. In the picture the guy on the boom had climbed it to free the cable which had run off the pulley. The weight you see hanging down is around 1,000 lbs. Shorty after I snapped this they got waked by about a three foot wake from an...

Hey this reminds me of the missing footage from Bill Murray and "Caddy Shack."

A while back I downloaded Sea Clear and all the appropriate charts. Being somewhat computer challenged this all took several days of head scratching and I never was able to get the program (Sea Clear) to recognize two different USB GPS's pucks I have. All this of course was free except for my...

I wonder why they wasted space carrying all that water?

I think the permenantly factory installed floor boards started in 2007. Before that the factory offered removeable floorboards.

The pier cross's about 600' of marsh before getting to the ICW. Pilings in the photo are 20 footers. At this point they are about 400' from the beginning. They pretty much sink on thier own for about 8 to 10 feet then they drive and jet them down another 5'. Around $25,000 in material to go 800...

Don I agree with everything you are saying but I just can't see a first time buyer paying $50,000 or more for a new boat without a hull warranty. I hope I'm wrong.

Just curious and don't want to beat a dead horse but if someone wished to buy a 2009 but the warranty issue stopped them wouldn't it be possible to get some sort of aftermarket warranty. Maybe even Sea Sport could provide one for a price. I really see this as a huge problem for the future of...

You know Art I left a lot out. When they tried to patch the hole in the pontoon they had some sort of vinyl sheeting they first tried to patch it with. The hole/crack was about 18" by 4" wide they took this vinyl and put silicon on it and screwed it to the fiberglass pontoon with #12 x 1"...

For the last few weeks I've been entertaining myself watching my next door neighbor have a dock built. The guy building it is one of my other neighbors brother-in-laws who recently retired from the Navy and went into the dock building business. He's a nice fellow but in some ways out of his...

My 22' came from the factory with a Galvonic Isolator and I'm glad it did. With the factory cooler rack option my Suzuki 90 won't tilt up enough to come completely out of the water with the cooler in place.

I looked at C-Dory's for around 4 years before actually going into a dealership. There aren't or weren't many in my part of the country at the time but I saw them on a dealers lot. I had many small boats in the past but never a pilothouse boat. When I finally stopped at the dealership I...

When I push in the cut off switch it stops the unit from being controlled by the remote. When it's twisted til it pops out that is the on position and allows you to control from the remote. When the switch is pushed in the remote is still on but has no control over the pump. When I do use the...

My 2007 came factory equipted with a Guest 2621A charger. It has three outputs one 10 amp and two 5 amps. I to have a starting battery in the starboard Lazarrette and two house batteries in the port lazarrette. Initially mine were wired thru the On/1/both/2 selector switch which I didn't like so...

You're right Bob as usual. It would be nice if the ramps had specific tags.
