Bob, Sorry, It does look like a mess. It seem to me you are assuming, all the hot water pipes thru out the house are in a simular condition as the section that deteriorated. I hope your assumption is incorrect. I had a simular condition in a 1/2 bath in the lower floor of my home. It is also...

Thanks Roger, Bush Bashing comes in many forms. Alaskan Parks have been well funded this past eight years as have those in the Pacific Northwest. Like the education system, the amount of dollars spent does not represent the best out come. Washington DC has the highest dollar spent per...

Hank, Draining the water system may be ok, if all the water lines drain to the lowest opening and there are NO LOW spots or SAGS in the lines. Any water trapped in pipes WILL freeze and burst the pipe. I agree a little water left in the tank can not expand enough to cause a problem, as long as...

Capn Steve and Kath, You mentioned: "As for the shore inflatable, we will invest in one, just not sure what form it will take yet. Since 80%+ of our boating involves trips in and around the South Puget Sound and we have a moorage buoy, just off shore, I am torn between a lighter weight...

Captd, Wow, I've never had the need to try to remove a circle hook from any thing but a Halibut. My fishing buddy is good at it but I have a hell of a time getting one out of the fishes lip. I think that might be a good subject for the Brat's ......"How do you remove a circle hook, with out...

The hook removal procedure shown in the video and described by Jim C. is far and away the best way to remove a hook. The one step that was not pointed out which is VERY important. The eye of the hook must beheld down so it can not rotate. In the video simply holding the lure down, which is...

Mike, We keep our TomCat at Twin Bridges Marina near Anacortes Wa. Except for the social issues pointed out and visiting your boat in a slip for cocktails and R&R. I can not think of any reason not to keep your TomCat in a "Boatel" if one is available. You may want to check to find out if your...

Icing roads from the Pacific to the Atlantic!!!!!!! That's global warming for ya !!!!! My stock pick for the year is CMP. They sell salt and sand in the US and Europe for maintaining roads. Something we can't do with out even in a bad economy. It's getting to be a good skiing here in Sun Valley...

Is there a possibility of hanging Armstrong Bracket on the 24? Other than the cabin design, the hulls look simular to the 225. I'm going by photos, I've not been close to a 24. It seem to me this would make a hell of a boat if someone wanted to up grade the earlier model.

When in Utah visiting Brent and Dixie ( Discovery) I had an electrical problem with my motorhome. Dixie said "It's always the ground"...... She was right that time. I'm betting she's right again. Gary

Bob, Not only do you know boats but you do quite well with economics also. I enjoy each post you contribute. I am sure most all who follow this site will agree. Bob Austin's post, Jaunary 22 2008.... Thanks, Gary king

Roger, I agree most people would be at the end of their rope (pun intended) if they had to wait while some greenhorn without four wheel drive got in over their head at the launch ramp.(Oops, I did it again) I might get a free beer if I came to the rescue with a quick tow. My suggestion was not...

Four wheel drive is a great asset IF you have it. Lots of C-Brats may not have the luxury. I carry a 25 foot, one inch nylon rope,with 24 inches of 5/16th chain spliced on each end with an approperate hook. Most of the time there will be some one at the ramp that would be happy to show you how...

The gauges in our Tomcat are quite predictable. They read on the low side while running and higher when sitting flat, ie. empty while at cruise and 1/4 or about 20 gal. on each side at no wake speed and the same at the fuel dock. Gary

Amigo I I Anacortes Wa.

WOW, Bearbait! Will you be totin' a gun and strippin' them wolves, wolverine, coyote, martin and lynx? Do you think you might be eatin' mooses like that Sarah woman from up there? Gary King, 60 year Alaskan

Need input. I received conflicting information . We run Saltaway thru our engines each time we take the boat out of salt water. I have been putting "earmuffs" on the water intake and flushing the Saltaway thru the engine while running. I was told it was not necessary to run the engine, if I...
