You two are idiots! :)

I'm here at work. If you are my supervisor or an acquaintance, it's break time and I'm texting this from my phone.

Say no more...say no more. I'll take my own advice and vacate this thread.

Well, yah wanted to help the guy and weren't too keen on my Viagra suggestion... ;)

True, but the warranty would only kick in if and when there is a catastrophic failure so you are, potentially, on the hook for the cost of any preventative 'repairs' prior to that occurrence. That is how insurance companies work...unfortunately. If you are lucky and the company values its...

I think the 'warranty' would only cover catastrophic failures, not something that could be considered 'cosmetic'. Knowing that, what you need to do is make sure the vessel is still covered (you are the original owner so that is good) and then find a way to breach the hull in that spot while...

That would be nice but it seems a decade is a little late to notice a factory 'defect' (just trying to put myself in the manufacturer's shoes). Are you the original owner and, if not, did the other person notice it when they owned it? Also, is there any other sign of shrinkage or warping with...

This is a real serious matter you guys. This shrinkage could be a real problem. I wonder if they have Viagra for boats and whether the 175 would become a 185 or 190 if you gave it too much?

As the indentation has gotten larger on the exterior, has the interior gap pictured above stayed the same or has it too gotten larger...maybe even close to full separation? Condolences to Spookeay for the husband's shrinkage. Has he tried Viagra to see if it helps or have you taken it into...

The problem with anti-freeze is...well, it is 'anti-freeze' and has a lower freezing point but doesn't transfer heat as well as water which makes it a poor coolant for the engine. Also, consider that most makers of anti-freeze recommend a 50/50 solution because they actually sell their product...

Get sloshed before going out in 3-4 seas because it is tough to hold a drink when the boat is getting sloshed. Good tip, thanks.

Tell the she to jettison the dead weight next time...or you could just leave on your own. :o

My dad always had one of us kids up front with a flashlight. If he hit anything, it was that kid's fault. :D

Just for Dennis, not because I'm trying to pick on you or your idea but because you've shown great civility and a certain amount of curiosity and desire to understand in your responses. Consider a scenario wherein two people in a neighborhood have car problems. One car is a 'sports' car with a...

If using a higher octane fuel remedies a run-on/dieseling issue, I don't see a problem doing so. Just keep in mind that it may well be the different formulation of the fuel and not the octane rating that reduces/eliminates the engine dieseling. I know it is splitting hairs somewhat (kind of...
