  1. You want to feel ripped off on a daily basis move to the NWT!!! We are being hosed $64 for a two four. I don't drink much any more.
  2. That's not an ordinary table. It's one of the new V4 powered kitchen tables and it was idling at the time the photo was shot. It idles fairly high due to the agressive cam I installed.
  3. Yep, that's is about the going rate for a boat of that age and size.
  4. I could say the same about you disassembling planes for easier storage.
  5. I put an Icom Marine radio on my boat and it is a fine radio. I couple it with a base loaded stainless antenna and get fairly good range but an 8 footer would double my range. They just don't look right on my style of boat. Here is a link to the radio. It will even connect to your GPS to provide your location in an emergency. Icom M304 Radio It is nice and small and flush mounts nicely in dash.
  6. Not true!!! They will give you an atomic weggie and then kick you in the nuts!!!
  7. HAHAHA, she looks like a bear searching for salmon when she submerges.
  8. You might be able to use a set of beach launching wheels made for an inflatable. They usually fold out of the way or have quick disconnects for when they aren't needed. Just google Beach Launching Wheels and you will get a ton of info. Here's the first one that came up.
  9. Yep, I have one as well. Good for towing my 18' aluminum, snowmobile and popup camper.
  10. If you are going to rent it full time to one person/ family etc. like an apartment/rental house make sure you get them to put the utilities in their name, especially the electricity. If you don't it can come back to haunt you in certain circumstances.
  11. My buddy from BC that came to visit in March brought me a cooler full of Moose (burger,steaks and roasts), Elk (steaks and roasts) and Halibut. Life is good!!!
  12. OMG!!!!! It's Blinky the Three Eyed Moderator!!!!!
  13. Actually they just shifed production to China and lowered quality. So you are paying the same for a product of lesser quality. The lesser quality means that the product will wear out sooner and you will need to replace it sooner. So if the new off shore manufactured product lasts half as long as the previous higher quality product you will actually be paying twice as much for the same longevity. So your new shoes are actually $220 for the equivilent of the 25 year old ones.
  14. If you think that's spendy, how about a limited edition Abel fly reel for $2K. Abel Bonefish Reel Abel Redfish Reel
  15. Actually the fare should have gone up $0.52 as they were already charging GST at 5% so it should have increased another 8% max. But the taxi company being the gougers that they are raised the price 44% and blame it on the gubberment 'cause they think everyone who rides in their cabs is a product of cousins marrying and doesn't know how to figger their numbers.
  16. A bunch of sealer in the hole and some under the washer on the inside should fix it up. I would do both lower bolt holes. You should leave the bolts out long enough for the core of the transom to dry out and then seal up. You don't want it rotting out on you.
  17. It's ok buddy!!! Only 305 days to go. I am looking forward to pounding some giant gators on flies.
  18. 4 strokes have better bottom end torque (the power to get you going at low speed) than 2 strokes. The power band in a 4 stroke is also wider than the power band of a 2 stroke. This is the sweet spot where the motor runs the best. 2 strokes don't hit the bottom end of the sweet spot until the rpms are quite a bit higher. With 4 strokes the usable power comes in a a lower rpm than the 2 strokes which makes them better fro trolling or pulling a heavy load.
  19. It will work fine for trolling but if you need to use it to get back from the blue zone expect it to take a while.
  20. Looks good!!! Be sure to condition the wood with this stuff before staining so you get better more even coverage of your stain. Without pre stain conditioning pine and other softwoods tend to streak and take stain unevenly. Make sure to post a pic of the finished product.
