I won't be at that airshow, but will be down a couple weeks later for the one in Miami (South Beach). My son will be flying again for the Army Special Forces (Green Berets) demonstrations, his unit will be flying the blackhawks that they jump and repel out of for the simulated hostage rescue...

Don't forget to look at FB Marketplace. This one looks decent... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/887644946057682/ (link works... not sure why it looks like this)

I would never buy a boat from there, or salt water, when you live on the greatest fresh water lakes in the world. There will be dozens, if not more, boats similar to what you are looking for popping up in a few weeks. Nope, not a chance I would look on the Chesapeake Bay at this point (nor...

I'm late to the reply game. For the port side I think there is one in the cabinet above the fridge...

GFCI. Look up the wiring diagram for boat it shows where.

I read one fatality from debris landing on someone a quarter mile away... wow.

I've been through it twice in the late 70s with my parents in a 24/26 sundancer. It's basically the high point on the Trent Severn, on one side the water goes to Lk Huron and the other it goes to Lake Erie. As a kid it was a great memory watching it work, and keeping itself level! The...

This must vary based on the lock and/or the size of the lock. The one I'm familiar with has simple sluice gates on the upstrean doors near the bottom and they are control to open a little, then a lot. The incoming water always pushes the boat rearward.

I'd stay away from the full face stuff IMO... I'm a diver, a spair air bottle, sling bottle or a hooka thing would be my preference.

I didn't go past Mullett Lk. The log cabin was the Hack-Ma-Tack. The place went down hill around the turn of the century but it's actually back to a decent place. I go with the little boat we keep on Mullett.

I own a 48da now, I really don't expect to get a different boat until I die. As far as time spent on it, the most with wife and I is 2 weeks (kids now past HS). But growing up I spent 2+ weeks on a 24da traveling the great lakes a number of times, so I can't imagine a family of 4 couldn't...

Thanks. I had a little over a foot and a half on each side. Between the front thruster and both engines I don't think the fenders touched! My wife was not amused about the side trip with the guys. The run upstream into Mullet Lk has areas the same depth as the boats draft, and there was sand...

The only thing I'd add is that the angle of your rudder matters in some cases as they fill... and know where it is when leaving especially on a single as I've seen way to many boats bounce off the walls as they leave. The lock I've been going through since before I had a drivers license is...

To be fair there was never a commercial, but the guy/girl did some posts about some support/graft that bud light gave him (or is it her... I still am not sure what I'm suppose to say). That said, I have change my take on all this stuff going on. A relitive has a kid (adult, late 20s) that has...
