I found these pictures of vintage boats entertaining. Thought I'd share it. Click through the pages on the left side to see them all. There seemed to be a big "car" influence in their design. http://www.fiberglassics.com/galleries/bitb/

Well C-brats, I thought I'd post a public announcement that I have indeed sold my beloved boat "Playin' Hooky". I really enjoyed the boat and experiences I had with her but my priorities have changed and feel that for now this is for the best. This change, along with a few others will allow my...

Anyone own one of these cameras? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger soon and was wanting some feedback. Based on the reviews it looks like a nice camera. I'm interested in the VR lenses that come with it otherwise I get a D40.

I was wondering if the bilge pump hose should have a check valve in it? I was 30 miles offshore fishing halibut this weekend and noticed water accumulating in the bilge area faster than I thought it should. The pump would need to cycle every couple minutes. Needless to say there was a few...

I have a king marine trailer with surge breaks. It has a reverse soleniod that senses the backup lights of the tow rig and is suppose prevent them from activating when backing up. I think it used to work when new but can't remember. Anyway, I have to get out and manually block the surge brakes...

No matter what I choose to name them for some reason I still get a couple albums labeled "untitled". Is it something I'm doing or a site issue?

Well, I took some interior shots of the 29 Venture for those that are interested. I'll start off with the sticker shock first :shock:

I'm contemplating the purchase of a honda generator but wanted some input from those with experience. I was thinking the EU1000i would be sufficient for charging the batteries on extended cruising. Is there any reason to buy the higher wattage models? I know someone with a brand new one who...

Can anyone recommend a good anti-fog product for windows (non-pc variety). Usually mine will fog in the morning when the curtains are up. I remember someone at the boat show selling some expensive stuff but is there an off the shelf product that works GOOD?

I don't see this talked about much but was wondering if anyone has any experience with cell signal amplifier/repeater like the digital antenna DA4000 or DA4000MR. I lose cell service at about 15 miles offshore and would like to extend my service out to about 40 miles. According to digital...

I'm looking to find someone who doesn't want their "free" chip. I'd pay cash for it.

Well I "upgraded" to Vista. I like it over all BUT...... My Nobeltech tides and currents won't run on it and neither will Raymarines Raytech planner. Bummer.

Found this posted on another website. It's kind of fun to "watch the ships". Shine Micro has a new Google page to show live AIS (Automatic Identification System) information: For the view above, I've clicked on a ship at the port of Astoria. You can see it is a cruise ship. Like all the...

I thought fighting the sealions for my salmon was bad. One word of warning for those that are offended by bad language the guys do use a few choice words. http://www.break.com/index/whales_ruin_fishing_trip.html

I almost posted this in the nerd shack but wasn't sure. Anyway, I noticed that DirecTv is coming out with a portable TV/Satelite reciever that some brat's might enjoy. I wonder how expensive it will be...

Well I noticed that Raymarine is bringing the capability to get sirius weather for the C-series displays. It sounds like a great feature but sirius want's $29/month for the service. Seems kind of steep. Also Raymarine is coming out with an AIS receiver. Might be handy for those that travel...

Ok, I figured I would get a few strange looks with that title. :lol: Anyway, I did a search and didn't come up with an answer. I was wondering what capacity house battery other Brat's are running. I have a 55 amp hour optima for my house battery. I have a feeling it might be to small...

Couldn't find anything in the manual about changing the gear case oil for my BF90 however the manual for my Classic 8 shows how to do it. I'm just wondering why they left it out of the BF90. Are we suppose to have the dealer do it?

For some reason I can no longer upload photo's to my album without losing my internet connection. I actually have to power cycle my router/modem to get back on the internet. I can however upload no problem to other sites. Any idea's on what's happening?
