A. The marina is top notch but it is a working marina/port. Probably not what you're use to. Can be noisy with all the commercial boats leaving at all hours. B. Depends if you go east or west. East is flat. West can be flat or down right nasty. C. Any good fishing is outside. The harbor is...

A couple of pictures from the opening weekend at Westport. First is our catch on day two. The second on is me with an 18 and 20 pounder. Limited out all three days. Fishing was good.

Dave, You are missing the point and the point affects your new endeavor. If the middle class goes away, who is going to buy a Marinaut? The extremely wealthy don't buy C-Dory style boats. You build a middle class boat. A 200-300 thousand income threshold is not wealthy. I'm are talking...

Question for you Tom. Who are you going to sell a house to if the middle class is gone? The top 1% don't need you. They don't pay real estate commissions. All of you who have your small business selling insurance, appliances, cars, or other consumer goods, who are you going to peddle your wares...

I thought I'd post this again for those who missed it. Here is a link for ethanol free gas. Just click on your state. http://pure-gas.org/ For 'Interested' in Virginia, http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=VA For Marc in Florida,http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=FL

Very cool. I'm sure every boat that comes out of EQ will be perfect in every respect. Will Ben be helping with the build too? Will EQ still be doing tuneups, repair and servicing on other boats? Are you still going to sell Arima and Rosborough?

If you're into fishing, go down to Brooks Bay. The locals call it "God's Hole".

Jim, How about using a piece of 1 inch schedule 80 PVC pipe. The OD would be 1-3/8" and would be double wall for extra strength.

I have the Cape Cruiser version which has no built in fish box. That is the only drawback of the boat. I use the lazzarette as a live well for anchovies. I also use it for seabass and lings when bottom fishing. I use a fish bag similar to this one...

When my boat was two years old I had a similar problem with my Perko battery switch. Sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. I cut apart the switch with a hacksaw to inspect it. I expected to find burnt or corroded contacts. The contacts were in new condition. The only thing I could...

The real credit card bonus would be if merchants could offer a cash discount for not using a credit card. Our legislators made that illegal due to the lobbying of the credit card companies. Our country should change it's name to the United Corporations of America. "The only difference between...

One only has to look at East Germany before reunification or the Ganges River in India to see what happens without any regulation. I hope the US environment never reaches the deplorable conditions as some parts of the world. It would help if the EPA would use some common sense though when...

I see your power cabling wasn't marine grade conductors. I wonder if the resistance didn't build up over time due to corrosion and finally went over the edge with the increased load. It would be interesting to know how long it took to reach the condition in your pictures. Was it fast due to a...

One final thought. There are no contacts in a solid state relay. You will hear nothing. You have to use a meter to check out the relay.

Oops. I should have said turn the key to the far right in the start position instead of left. I guess I need to proof read a bit more. The difference between a solenoid and a relay is while both have a set of large contacts to control starting current to the starter motor, the solenoid also does...

I'm not saying I know what your problem is but here is some additional info. On some smaller motors, and I don't know what Tohatsu is like, you don't have a starter solenoid but you do have a starting relay. If the relay is burnt out, or the control wiring from your switch is corroded or you...
