Woody: You're right. Everything here is fine, no need for improvement. Carry on. Sfergson727: The issue isn't censorship, it's reputation. Admin can censor anything he wants or allow nearly anything he wants on this private board. Admin: I'm not looking for a fight, just sharing my...

Admin: Medical fraternity? Yah, that's what I intended to convey. LOL (really). You know, a little tightening of the seal on the holding tank might improve the board's declining reputation. How's that G-Dock coming along?

370Dancer: Give it up, as admin fully supports the fraternity behavior here. If you don't like the direction the board is heading, continue to withhold your financial support, lurk more and say less, and contact advertisers/Sea Ray complaining about the content.

3.5 Job is at risk (potential layoff end of Jan), 401(k) retirement savings have mutated to a ridiculously low level, and we're spending less. Stress level is high. Haven't yet canceled vacation plans or put the boat up for sale. We are making plans to go into layoff mode (learning more...

Brunswick stock price is $2.44 (a year ago it was trading at $22). Even with cost savings associated with the layoffs, Brunswick may find it difficult to stay in business?

Billandamy: It really isn't that simple, because it is often impossible to have an adult conversation here, even if you turn to the right "station," without the fraternity boys jumping in with childish banter, political bashing, and personal attacks. P.S. Frank didn't deserve the personal...

Covered slip (10 minutes from my house) with power and fresh water = $140 per month.

Thanks Todd - makes sense. I'll admit having my boat on a trailer would be nice, but the cost of a new tow vehicle is prohibitive for now.

Todd: It looks like you found a great storage and tinkering solution. Why are you not storing your boat in the water?

At Ease: Thank you for posting the pictures. I've seen several custom designs for table storage discussed on this board, but this is the first time I've seen the Sea Ray design. It looks like you can pop the engine hatch up just a tad and then pull the table from the little shelf. I...

Thanks Skip! Four Suns: Skip and I continued our discussion out on the J-Dock. Unfortunately, most folks from the G-Dock don't have access to the J-Dock <grin>.

Only certain characters are being offered an invitation?

We were not out on the Columbia river as much as I'd hoped this year, but I don't recall seeing the Coast Guard (in the air or on the water) more than once. Seems like the Sherrif and Police boats were scarce too.

While out pulling my daughter on a tube one weekend, I somehow managed to snag the lanyard and kill the engine. Yes, the boat engine does stop while in gear, and yes the boat and occupants decelerate rapidly. Not as fast as the time we powered into a sand bar, however. We got lots of water...

Given everything we know about the economy today, do you plan to use your boat more or less in 2009?

Yes, it is a shame. My 11-year old daughter used to read some of the forums here, but I won't let her near the site now.

pwmarina: Thanks for sharing!

I wasn't boating when the luxury tax issue came up. Did it pass, or was it just a proposal?

Four Suns: You're proud that your post will generate complaints? Really? And who are these 5 people you suspect are out to get you (all "liberals" I suspect)?
