    QuickSilver Nemesis 4-Blade 19P, Nice Prop

    Quick review of the Nemesis 4 blade aluminum prop I just put on my 20ft 1988 Bowrider. Installed last weekend and ran for the first time. Boat had a 3 blade 14.5X21 that kept the top end a little bit lower than I liked. Was tough to get 4200 with a couple people in the boat. OMC 5.0 (HO I...

    My pirate joke

    Was it the fact that the punchline was "It's drivin' me nuts"? Is nuts a prohibited word? Give me a break! Just wondering why the post was apparently deleted. Thanks.

    What in the world was this noise??????

    Were out anchored in edge of a little channel last night, in great bay, about 1 mile or so from the little egg inlet. As the night wore on (fishing was quiet for a while) we noticed a fairly rapid ticking noise coming from the hull of the boat. It was a pretty fast tap, about 8-12 times per...

    Lost my damn casting net

    Friday, 60 feet of water, huuuuuuuuge school of baitfish, I give my 8' net a good hurl, and it opened nicely, unfortunately the end that was cinched around my wrist flew clean off my hand. My dad tried to back down on it so I could grab it but it went down too quick. Just watched in disbelief...

    Hey, I need to replace the full enclosure including the bimini on my 23 foot walkaround. It's ten years old. It consists of a 6 foot three bow bimini, two front curtains, two side curtains, and a rear drop curtain. What should I expect to pay roughly? The bimini frame and all snaps on the...

    Too much fun with my Dremel

    So I have a pair of prescription transitions glasses (tint outside, clear indoors). A few years old, and were the spare pair. They were a little scratched so I took some rouge and my dremel to one of the lenses. It's now opaque, like a bathroom window. <br /><br />Toss it? or is there any way...

    Working hard here, third shift.

    Yeah, it's a rough shift but somebody's gotta work it. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br />Pics are blurry due to camera phone. Monitors are crystal clear in reality. <br /><br />Xbox fits nicely in my laptop bag, so nobody is the wiser coming in or going out of the building. :) <br /><br...

    Kerosene Heater Question

    I've got an old SEARS model 40305 kerosene heater. The wice looks to be pretty clean, about 3/8 to 1/2" tall out of the base. <br /><br />When I light it, it burns really hot for about 2 minutes, then goes out. Will do this over and over again forever. I get a good 8-10" flame initially...

    Boat's in the back yard for the long winter nap. Let the depression set in now. <br /><br />Was going to leave it in for a couple more weeks. Took a ride yesterday with the wife and the boat started missing at idle and wide open. Was very sporadic. I decided to take it back to the dock...

    My Boat Stinks.

    Short Story. Four nice big eels left in the livewell for 3 weeks. <br /><br />On top of that, as I'm cleaning it out today I come to find out that the inlet on the bottom of the tank leaks. So there's dead eel juice all through my bilge. <br /><br />I filled the livewell with bleach and water...
