Hate to turn this into ad space, but theres a beautiful 98 Catalina 400(huge aft bunk, two separate baths, beautiful wood etc etc) sitting at the repo dock at shoreline village in Long Beach, Ca. for $149($250,000 new). With this soft market, should be able to get it for $125,000. It also has a mas...

BMW Z4 $40,945 for the 3.0i. The Z3 lacked the crispness we expect from a BMW and was replaced and the Z4 addresses the Z3's faults and rectifies them in spectacular fashion. One major difference, between my Z3 and the Z4... The Z3 is a sharp elegent looking car. The Z4 is kinda... :| As per handli...

Good bit of advice is budget on getting it done every year, then if you don't have to get it done you will have about $1000 extra. If you get regular bottom work done by a diver, and dont let stuff build up to much it should last allittle longer. The diver should be able to tell you the condition of...

Howdy all, I have been giving it allot of thought over the past couple of months. Which boat to buy, trailerable or not? Mooring or slip? Etc. Basically, I decided to return to my original dream. I am going to get a 37+- foot modern, or a 45+- foot classic boat. I am going to be getting rid of my ap...

If any of y'all ever need an AB. Let me know. JEM

Throwing stars, spiked wristbands, blow guns. jackie m Bummer, thats what I always use on my boats. Self protection, Ninja Style.. Hahah. On a more serious note, one day we where driving through my home town. Small place in NC. We where going through one of the not so nice sections. And I will be d...

One thing we have hit upon, that you havn't responded to yet was the Mixture. Are you sure its not running to lean? Try upping the mixture allittle and see what happens. Worst case scenario you will foul your spark plugs. Which you can remove and clean without there being any damage. JEM

Do any of you hail from central florida? Jacksonville - Daytona Area? Would love to talk with you about your boats. JEM

I think something like this. Hahaha..



missed the title of the thread..

Cheers

I would personally rather get something like this. Its older, but man would it be cool!!!

you said @ one point that it starting hissing if i remember correctly? That sounds like a blown gasket. When you fire it up, is it still making that hissy sound. I would be VERY cautious of running it hot. That can cause detonation, and / or preignition. Both of which can have catastrophic effects o...

After reading some books on the subject, obstructions are actually supposed to cause the pressure to rise. I very well could be mistaken on this, being that I am not a boat mechanic. But, an obstruction in a system like this would subject the water to what is known as a venture effect. Much like in...

Howdy, I have a quick question for you all. Being that this is a deck stepped mast, what happens when it gets struck by lightning? keeled masts funnel most of it strait into the water, but obviously that wouldnt be possible with a trailerable boat. Thanks, JEM

This might sound really stupid, but I would reccomend wearing deck shoes like spery's or a pair of non-marking tennis shoes until you get familiar with the boat. Nothing ruins a day on the water quicker than catching your pinky toe on some hardware. Just my 2 cents..

I am living in central florida right now. Sailing would have been wonderful during this whole somewhat luke-warm period. To bad I dont have a boat .... One day... One Day...
