    4.7 million dollar boat has 12 person capacity at 63 feet? And then...

    Is there any common sense anymore or is it a thing of the past? Some of the vids I have seen covering the inlet makes me think it’s just not common anymore. Everyone hop aboard it will be fine. I once had friend that was one of the smartest people I have ever met but she had zero common sense...

    I watched an eagle trying to take over an osprey nest the other day. It’s amazing how fierce birds can be when it comes to territory. I’m not sure who won I’ll have to take another look soon and see who the winner is. There used to be quite a few eagles here but then they disappear but 4 or five...

    I found a baby owl in the road one time during a storm. It was beat up pretty bad. I took it to the local rehab guy in the morning and he nursed it back to health. After he released it it hung around the house for 3 years before finally moving on.

    Hate to be a party pooper but I don’t where to start so I’ll just say it’s sounds like trouble to me. Best of luck on your decision

    Some of them are crazy power and fast. There a guy in my neighborhood that rides wheelies on his at 40mph. He’s smart enough to wear a helmet.

    I converted my beach bike but it doesn’t have pedal assistance. I love it and it’s a lot of fun. No fires as of yet🤞. My buddy has his rigged up just for fishing. Never has a problem finding parking. There was ev car fire here years ago that took over 30,000 gallons of water to put out. It’s...

    I watched a Turkey do that once to the chrome bumper on my truck. I had a good laugh.

    leaking riveted starcraft ('82 MR180)

    That would likely help but hopefully you won’t have any water to deal with. As for the garden I love this stuff. My daughter and her BFF made one similar for their high school since fair and the water was filtered through a large fish tank. The fish thrived from plant live and the plants...

    That will work great. I love them. I use to clean up the live edge on wood slabs.

    leaking riveted starcraft ('82 MR180)

    Stainless should be fine. A wipe with a scotch bright pad and acetone for the final wipe down would be good to.

    Great loop speed record attempt

    I think I saw a YouTube vid on these guys. If its not them they did the same thing. I’m sure they had fun but it’s not for me.

    No shortage here either. Birds start singing at 4:15 or so and the neighbors dog sounds off shortly after that. Dam dog barks none stop at absolutely nothing all day long while it’s brother stands next to it quietly looking at him as if to say what the hell are you barking at. Plenty of insects...

    Love Gluvit. A buddy of mine had a 19040’s 30 some odd foot Wheeler that was only afloat because of Gluvit. It’s the original screen door skiff sealer.

    Should I buy a boat without a survey?

    I was thinking along the lines what happened to it and what was done to repair it to make it sellable again. OP mentioned it had a new paint job so what’s under the paint. It would be helpful to the before and after.

    Should I buy a boat without a survey?

    With a salvage title is there any chance you could contact the salvage company or previous insurance company for photos and info from the salvage? Do you know what happened for it to become salvaged? Sunk, wreaked, fire or what not?
