I live in Seattle, Microsoft layed off 5000 people today. This is the first time in the companies history they've had layoffs.

I got a Gore-Tex mooring cover that originally listed for $750.00 for $69.00. Granted my boat is only 18', it's still a great deal.

If you're in the "Collections" business, this would be a good time to buy a boat. You know it's a booming industry.:smt021

Are you sure you could get what you owe if you "Had to" sell your 42 or 34 in a relatively quick time frame? My little lake cruiser is paid for, but if I have to sell it in a hurry, I'll be lucky to get 1/2 what it was worth 8 months ago. Everyone's selling, no one's buying.

Alot of it is the dealers. I have an 04 SS Silverado, paid about 35 for it new. Tried to boost US sales and trade it in on a new F450 XLT Crew Cab. The bastards would only give me $7,500 trade in. I'll drive it into the ground first. It only has 30k miles on it and I take care of my stuff. I...

I guess I don't have it That bad. Shutting down hasn't crossed my mind, or table yet. I need to think positive.:thumbsup:

Fortunately my boat's paid for,but if I were to sell it (if I could) I'd be lucky to get 1/2 what it's worth. Maybe I'd throw my hot tub and TV on "Craigslist" first. I don't use those in the summer anyway.

I've haven't logged onto CSR since July of last year. I've been busy with my company, family and boating. My concrete cutting company is struggling right now. It's not a big company but at one time I did employ 22 people, I'm down to 7 including me. If things get any worse I'm going to have to...

That thing takes more abuse at 40 on the water than 65 on a smooth highway. It just seems to be another thing in the way when it's down. I started out by taking it down (layed it in the boat or in the back of my truck) it just got in my way and stepped on a few times.:smt009

Whatever puts you at ease. I've towed mine in the up position for thousands of miles and the only problem I have had, is rinsing the bugs off the boot. No big deal. Besides, it looks cool in the up position. That's the important thing.:thumbsup:

The Marina doesn't carry it, neither does the "Boat Doc". He carries the the old stuff, whatever that is. He also specializes in outboards. Thanks for the info. anyway, it doesn't go unappreciated.

Looks like I'm makin' a trip to Seattle or Portland. I'm right in the middle. YEE HAH!!!

Gear lube is oil. Just a heavier weight. I'm in Mossyrock WA. There's nothin' round here.

The only problem with that is the low oil alarm. That sucker is loud. It sucks to be in this position. I just had it serviced before my trip and getting gear oil didn't even cross my mind. You learn something every day.
