I'd seen in the past a product that's essentially a vinyl "liner" with a flotation collar and a rear section that lowers to get the boat into it. Used as an alternative to a lift to reduce growth (fill it with freshwater, or add chlorine). I've Googled it to death and can't find one. Are they...

My wife showed me this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w

Hey guys, Well, it's official. My lovingly restored 390 EC now belongs to Docofthebay. My boys have grown into other interests and cruising/boating hasn't been in the cards for them for the past year or more; so four years after moving "up", it's time to move back "down". I rigged her to be...

Trying to figure out locations of plugs/drains to remove for coolant change on my 3208's. Operation & Maint. manual says "Remove cooling system drain plugs". Mechanics did it for me 2 yrs ago, shame on me for not watching... Can anyone tell me the location(s) of what needs to be removed for...

What do you suppose this pilot was thinking as he pulled the lever? http://photoblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/07/23/4739027-pilot-ejects-an-instant-before-fighterjet-crashes

Anyone going to Ft. Desoto? I was thinking of going this year, haven't been before. Is it worthwhile?

Saw this advertised in SR Living; most of you have heard of "Spot" - that PLB looking transmitter that sends an " I'm OK" message via satellite. I thought it was useful, but not enough so to justify buying another piece of hardware. Now ACR has what looks like the same type of program, but...

So we have some company this week, all 4 bedrooms spoken for and one guest left... Rather than the couch, or an air mattress, I figured the boat is better. A quick run through on how to use the head, operate the Sat tv, air conditioners and lighting. Total privacy for the guest. So far it's a...

Pascoe fan or not, this is an excellent article on the realities of inboard alignments. Sorry if it's been posted up here before...it's a good read. http://www.yachtsurvey.com/Alignment2.htm Includes an interesting perspective on V-drives as well. He also makes a point of the proper...

Some things aren't rocket science. In order to have competition, you need to have a level playing field. I've always thought that we should tax the sh** out of the cheap chinese imports...and get back to being a country with an economy that actually produces something. Regardless of personal...

So I'm working on the boat yesterday, weather's finally been "Chamber of Commerce" for the past week...I feel like a groundhog coming out of hibernation after the coldest winter in our history. Anyway, hoping to go get some Grouper fillets this weekend now that the season just opened and the...

I occasionally like to look at other 390's to see what others have done to them. Came across this one... Obviously, it never leaves the dock. It would take me two hours just to stow away all the crap on this boat...Why not just get a condo...

There's a ring of crusty crap (minerals) around the inside of the head at the waterline from the water evaporating out when I don't use it enough. Same thing- mineral/hard water deposits on the ball that seals the bowl. Scrubbing doesn't get it. I was thinking about the usual household stuff...

Actually, the $100K price tag seems pretty reasonable. Imagine "dropping" in at the corner Hess station for a fill-up! http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/03/13/future-jetpacks-sale-late-year/ http://martinjetpack.com/

I was looking at some of the current models offered. I'm just not getting "it"... There's been discussion before about the 450, and it seemed many here felt SR blew it on that design; I guess sales will settle the debate. I don't get a 45 footer (well, it's not really, but that's what they...

Long time ago I was doing a restaurant renovation and the owner was using some type of expensive wood veneer on the walls. I had never seen this stuff before (or since)- it was REAL wood veneer- but paper thin. Literally came rolled up in a tube like wallpaper...and I was told expensive as hell...

BUT THEY SUCK! Holy crap, save me! SAVE ME! Any Canadians here? Sorry my good friends and neighbors, but really...
