    Need a photo paint wizard for interior design

    Re: Need a photo paint wizard for interior design I think the white may be a little too much - If you're going to do the bulk of the interior in white, then it would work. But if you're going to lean more on the black and yellow look the boat already has, I'd work in yellow and shades of grey...

    More Navy flyin' - tribute to the Blues of old

    Re: More Navy flyin' - tribute to the Blues of old Yeah, that initial belch of smoke and then the monster roars. We got a chance to work with the CAF last year, and see several of their planes up close. Including FIFI: I got to climb all over inside (WOW), and almost got a ride on board but...

    More Navy flyin' - tribute to the Blues of old

    Since I was pokin' fun at the Navy fliers a little earlier (over in Volphin's thread) , here's an olive branch and a raised glass to the fine fliers of the U.S. Navy and their excellent birds: Blues Bearcat Web Video I've gotten to work with the Blues one time and very much enjoyed it. I...

    Water from int housing?

    Re: Water from int housing? Dunno' about a healthy 800, but my reasonably healthy electric shift doesn't really have a "tell-tale" stream. It's more of a controlled geyser :D The gaskets at the trunions on mine are pretty shot - so the water flow "out" is kinda' dynamic. Bad quality image...

    Unique Circle Yachts

    Ran across THIS in a design blog. After the response to Steve Jobs yacht, I thought this one was an interesting step in a completely different aesthetic direction. The main (anchor) design is a 400' ship and then a complement of 5 designs at 295' each within the "circle." One ship, JAZZ has...

    Swim Platform Materials

    I need to rebuild or replace my swim platform. The one on the boat was an add-on by the previous owner that they got salvage. It works/ed pretty well, but it's in need of some serious help, if not a complete replacement. A couple of pictures for reference: The center section opens on a piano...

    Congrats, Bondo on 50,000 posts

    Re: Congrats, Bondo on 50,000 posts No, no worries there. They have special keyboards up in the Northeast: One finger and POW, it's there. It's wicked ;)

    Towable Ski Disk

    I can't find the thread now, but someone posted a towable ski disk link to this video: Disk Ski - YouTube I decided to go ahead and make one of the silly things and try it out. The "low speed" aspect of the towable was appealing for a few reasons: 1.) my boat is old, heavy and tired ... she's...

    Costa Concordia Salvage - Live feed

    Re: Costa Concordia Salvage - Live feed Makes sense sitting there so long, but look at the damage done on the superstructure: Betcha' you can get a starboard side stateroom pretty cheap right now. Yikes.

    78 seaswirl remote throttle identification

    Re: 78 seaswirl remote throttle identification On the ES Stringer the green wire is Forward and the blue wire is Reverse. Later units ('78 would count) had a white lead which is a Neutral cut out to prevent the system from cranking in gear. Basically, if the switch on the controller is...

    Prop pitches - '72 OMC

    Hey y'all - lookin' for some thoughts as I'm playing with fine tuning the boat. I'm not moving terribly fast on this as I still have some trim issues in the ole' Stringer drive, but I'm considering props too: The boat is a 17', weighs in at 2,000#, generally has 5 on board (2 adults & 3...

    3 people drowned in Middle TN this weekend

    The stories are all collected HERE. I've been to the dam, the falls and was on the lake about 2 miles from the collision. Details on the wreck are pretty sketchy, but it was two big boats and the drowned man went down with the cruiser. At both the dam and the falls, the undertow musta' got...

    Why Shouldn't I Get a Center Console?

    Re: Why Shouldn't I Get a Center Console? But the accommodations for those 8 are a little austere :) Cool boat, but if you're cruising more than fishing, I'd say a dual console.

    '57 Johnson 7.5 HP Project

    Re: '57 Johnson 7.5 HP Project I'd say at least 10 years, but I'm not 100% positive. I know that we replaced it on the boat in the mid 90's, but I don't know how much anyone has monkeyed with it since. Got some cleaning done this afternoon: It'll be a week or two before I can do much else...

    '57 Johnson 7.5 HP Project

    Re: '57 Johnson 7.5 HP Project Got it out and did some lookin': what I think is the SN is stamped into (what I think is) a freeze plug - SN: 1497570 - making it a '57, correct? It's all a little dirty on the outside, but the motor itself looks pretty good. Haven't tried starting it yet...
