The 12/24 volt motor is different in this manner. Think of it like this Current and Voltage are not the same thing. Think of voltage as the rate of flow in terms of speed. Current is the power behind the flow. Say a Mack truck is moving at 5 mph and it hits your car...disaster If a bicycle hits your car at 5 mph..then there is a scratch. Thats the difference between current and voltage. The 12 volt systems have less torque so weeds and friction will cause more of a load which equals higher amp draw and shorter battery life. With the 24 volt system the torque is more and the amp load drops back so the life is extended. I have found that my bass boat on the 12 volt circuit was poor at best but it is a heavy boat and the motor was worn quite a bit. I rewired the boat and installed a 24 volt motor and it will go thru thick weeds and I can fish electric only lakes all day without a power loss. You also want to check to make sure it is a 12/24 volt motor also since a 24 volt motor will not run as a 12 volt circuit. With this said the only gain will be from the larger motors thrust but a shorter run time on the battery you are using. Art

A GPS like Tom Tom is your friend. The Gettyburg war area is full of rich history you will also find that Bullrun is also a nice area if you are a war buff. The air and space museum out near Dulles Airport is worth a look if time is available. You will find that if you want to get a map of the Metro trains before you leave it will save you a lot of wear and tear driving. The out lying area are usually much cheaper to stay at than downtown D.C.. The final place that is very nice in the fall and is a neat place is Luray Caverns. Art

See I told you if you planted the landing strip with Orchard grass you would have a lot of friends Wayne. Art

Very nice lures Mike I am glad you decided to go public with them. Art

A new update at the top of the page. Art

While not for ice fishing but we have sent many Christmas trees weighted with a cinderblock to make habitat for the fish. Art

ahh the starland Vocal Band their 15 minutes of fame..... It's a shame that is all the words most people know of the song. However most people can hum the lyrics pretty well go figure. Art

O.K. Wayne you talked me into it I am going to buy one of the Sharpeners and set up a local business and just watch the money roll in.... Thanks for the incentive to become my own boss. Art

what do you mean IF you were a betting man? Why I bet you plenty of times that you couldn't finish that bottle before you went to bed at Lak Air. Yes you did win though so you are still the man. Art

I've been sittin in a tree stand smoking a cigar and could have killed a few of them by jumping out of the tree with a knife. We are just covered in deer around here. I will trade y'all 5 deer for 1 moose.... Art

Awww why does Canada have to be so far away.....I miss the best parties and now this one were the A list shows up. Glad to see you all had a great time and one day I will get up their for just a walk about and visit everyone for a day or two.... Art

So whats the chances of me getting you to delete one of them ? Ahhh when irony strikes..... Art

Nice fish Chris hows about a shotgun hold next time their my favorite. Art

I found that Walnut dust adds more flavor than Cork dust does. You also can ummmm use a shop vac to catch the dust before you get suberosis.read it so you will get some dust control you igidit. suberosis. Art

While the Safety Data Sheet is a dry read the use of R.V. Antifreeze is not Highly Toxic and can be diluted and flushed without adverse effects to the environment. The dilution rate of 1 gallon of RV antifreeze diluted to 100 gallons can be consumed however it would taste bad and you will get gastric distress. It is a chemical that can and will prevent costly damage to engines and plumbing systems with a small impact on the environment in large quantities at this time its advantages far exceed its drawbacks. So use it instead of the toxic Antifreeze used in automotive aplications. Art SAFETY DATA SHEET WINTER CARE RV ANTIFREEZE SECTION 1 IDENTIFICATION COMPANY NAME: CHEMICAL SPECIALTIES, INC.

Down here in the USA you do not need a license for a VHF radio if you are a recreational boat less than 65 ft. We reserve channel 16 for hailing and for maydays only and are severely chastised if you use it for anything else. If you have the radio on it is to be tuned to channel 16 unless you are in conversation with another party. We use channel 68 mostly here for the fishing reports when our group is on the water and for the most part common sense seems to be the rule of the day. I would say though licensed or not if you need to call for help the last thing you will care about is whether or not you will get a ticket for making the call. For the price of the radio it is a great comfort to have it on board if and when you need it. Art

Ahhh the tiller console war is about to begin.... IF I went crazy and lost my mind and got a tiller I would get the electric start option. I have never owned anything but consoles so I am jaded but when you are out fishing the last thing you want to do is be pulling on your johnson on the water.... Art
