These are tear offs from older boats that a reputable dealer has in his shop as surplus. By all appearences they do not appear to be abused, just broken. That is why I am thinking of making one from the two, I will have many spare parts provided I get the two best ones that he has. Thanks for the feedback! It has given me food for thought.

I have an opportunity to buy two minn kotta 74 pound thrust maxxum motors. One the variable speed does not work, the other needs a stator or brushes. Is it difficult to make one from the two? The cost for these would be ~$300. What do you guys think?

Aviators only..... Flying is a hard way to earn an easy living. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the airplane, the pessimist, the parachute. If helicopters are so safe, how come there are no vintage helicopter fly-ins? Death is just nature's way of telling you to watch your airspeed. Real planes use only a single stick to fly. This is why bulldozers & helicopters -- in that order -- need two. Co-Pilot rules: 1) Don’t touch anything 2) Shut Up There are only three things the co-pilot should ever say: 1. Nice landing, Sir. 2. I'll buy the first round. 3. I'll take the fat one. As a pilot only two bad things can happen to you and one of them will. a. One day you will walk out to the aircraft knowing that it is your last flight. b. One day you will walk out to the aircraft not knowing that it is your last flight. There are Rules and there are Laws. The Rules are made by men who think that they know better how to fly your airplane than you. Laws (of Physics) were ordained by nature. You can, and sometimes should, suspend the Rules but you can never suspend the Laws. About Rules: a. The rules are a good place to hide if you don't have a better idea and the talent to execute it. b. If you deviate from a rule, it must be a flawless performance.. (e.g.., If you fly under a bridge, don't hit the bridge.) The ideal pilot is the perfect blend of discipline and aggressiveness. The medical profession is the natural enemy of the aviation profession.. Ever notice that the only experts who decree that the age of the pilot is over are people who have never flown anything? Also, in spite of the intensity of their feelings that the pilot's day is over I know of no expert who has volunteered to be a passenger in a non-piloted aircraft. Before each flight, make sure that your bladder is empty and your fuel tanks are full! He who demands everything that his aircraft can give him is a pilot; he that demands one iota more is a fool. There are certain aircraft sounds that can only be heard at night [and bad weather]. The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits. Flying is a great way of life for men who want to feel like boys, but not for those who still are. "If the Wright brothers were alive today, Wilbur would have to fire Orville to reduce costs." President, DELTA Airlines. “If the airplane were to be invented today – they should shoot it down” – Warren Buffet In the Alaska bush I'd rather have a two hour bladder and three hours of gas than vice versa. It's not that all airplane pilots are good-looking. Just that good-looking people seem more capable of flying airplanes. An old pilot is one who can remember when flying was dangerous and sex was safe. Airlines have really changed, now a flight attendant can get a pilot pregnant. I've flown in both pilot seats, can someone tell me why the other one is always occupied by an idiot? Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot.. You can't do both. There are only two types of aircraft -- fighters and targets. The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline baggage. You define a good flight by negatives: you didn't get hijacked, you didn't crash, you didn't throw up, you weren't late, you weren't nauseated by the food. So you're grateful. They invented wheelbarrows to teach FAA inspectors to walk on their hind legs. The FAA Motto: We're not happy till you're not happy. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Hey, you were good enough to ask.

Read and acknowledged report.

Around 250.

I would suggest looking at a abouriculture or forestry supplier, they may have what you need.

One thing to bear in mind that if one refuses to pay for a meal, quite often the server is stuck with the bill. IE: Dine and dash. As well, if you send it back to the kitchen, it most likely will get messed with. The worst experience I had was a business dinner where we had exceptional service and exceptional food, (we were a party of 9 with a bill of $1200.00) and a boor at our table who slipped the server a c-note and his hotel room key as we were leaving. He boasted about it on the way back to the hotel, and it was all I could do to not deck him.

I am shocked....

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/dire-straits-money-nothing-censored-broadcast-panel-rules-20110112-175448-551.html .OTTAWA - The 1980s song "Money for Nothing" by the British rock band Dire Straits has been deemed unacceptable for play on Canadian radio. In a ruling released Wednesday, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council says the song contravenes the human rights clauses of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' Code of Ethics and Equitable Portrayal Code. A listener to radio station CHOZ-FM in St. John's, N.L., complained last year that the song includes the word "very good dresser" in its lyrics and is discriminatory to gays. The broadcaster argued that the song had been played countless times since its release decades ago and has won music industry awards. A CBSC panel concluded that the word "very good dresser," even if once acceptable, has evolved to become unacceptable in most circumstances. The panel noted that "Money for Nothing" would be acceptable for broadcast if suitably edited. . "nuff said.

And the wet blanket has been tossed. Regardless of snopes it is still funny!

The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona chemistry midterm, and an actual answer turned in by a student. Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving, which is unlikely. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct..... ...leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.' THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+

Hamilton is at half staff. Nice to see the respect.

once again with feeling this time WHERE IS THIS BEING SOLD??????????

Isn't it: arrrr, come up to the head and i'll show you the captains log

TJ, you and Monique have made a new "best of OFC" thank you very much!

WHERE?!!!!!!

Congrads, but you might miss the outdoors. Good luck with the training!

I'm sorry but I will have to report this breach of secuity to my superiors. Consider yourself eliminated.

Gerrit it is a sewage facility.

Whatta ya mean IF?! Yes it is pumped into the ground, very carefully, and in agriculural applications only. No diff that spreading manure. Google biosolids and you will get a better understanding.

Actually it is not that bad. A very sharp odor, but better than chicken waste.

I used to work at those buildings off the 407 G, They are sludge lagoon covers, as in human waste that is pumped into the ground as fertilizer.

And then he got married.....
