  1. I was thinking the same thing..I cant wait to see how this all unfolds..The last expansion draft I didn't pay any attention to, so this will be interesting to say the least. How does it work? Each team gets to protect so many players and is it rookies in their 1st to 3rd year are ineligible?
  2. Do you think Trump (or anyone else) will make America great again by doing just 1 thing? The point behind this thread is somewhat the same..We have to start somewhere. Bottled water companies offer nothing other then basic chump change. I agree that we should go after the mines and beer and soda companies. However beer is taxed at a higher rate, soda will soon be. Water is sold for next to nothing, barely taxed and the plastic is piling up in a big way. I say go get em..
  3. wow 750k for 1 year..He will be another player turned into a great draft pick come deadline day, if the Leafs are NOT in the hunt for a playoff spot.. Cant wait to see Austin Willie and Mitch this fall..If Mitch doesnt make the cut (witch I highly doubt) he has to go back to the OHL. I just cant see him getting any better there.Futures bright!!!!
  4. I dont know about you folks, but im 41 years old, I was always taught in school that its our job to protect "the worlds fresh water" what ever happened to that? Why are we depleting said water for profit? Cities with wells so badly polluted that they have to pump water from the great lakes, to this nonsense. Bottled water is like the height of irony. Lets take perfectly clean fresh water put it into toxic plastic bottles and leave them to sit by the skid load in hot trucks and in the sun for weeks before selling them to the end user..Can we just stop it..Enough is enough...
  5. Great show..Wow just wow..Gordo was pushing real hard the first couple of songs, but after he relaxed his voice BOOM there it was. Not gonna lie I did shed a tear or 2. Man he sure likes Mr.Trudeau doesn't he..that was the best 3 hours of my summer right there..
  6. I wont go to Hydes ever again. They charged me over $600 to rebuild my carb on my old Evinrude 9.9. Thats what you get I guess for just dropping it off and saying here fix this..But that was a steal of a deal for 9k. I was quoted 12k for a 90 at Proctor marine..That was financed and tax in..That was for the regular 90 not the HO The price included installation
  7. they are LED strip lighting that you have to solder. We soldered every joint and covered them in liquid electrical tape.We also gutted out the light bulbs from the courtesy lights on the boat and soldered in LED strip lighting in them too.
  8. Im not sure how these would hep me with holding my floor down. Would there not be ahead sticking up? How would one go about gluing down vinyl over them things?
  9. you would be correct. Aluminum and stainless are indeed ok. I just called the marina to confirm that. What I was asking is if there is a perfected fastener over screws? I think ill predrill every hole and fill it with silicone before cranking in the SS screw. I could use Aluminum rivets too but the SS screws are free. Not sure where id find rivet long enough to go thru 3/4 inch ply and bite into the framing below
  10. So here is yet another progress update.. Yikes there is a Boat load of work here..Pun intended. lol I got lots of interior lighting in for night fishing eyes. Got a nice stereo system for days at the beach- dock for when beers are in order. I still haven't found an automotive electrician comfortable enough to touch my gauge issue. They all want proper wiring diagrams from the boat manufacturer. Mission impossible to say the least. Any way I have all the marine grade ply cut to fit and primed, and ready to be installed. Quick question. Can I use stainless screws to install the wood floor? I have a ton of them that I inherited from my grandfathers work shop years ago, so its not like its going to cost me anything extra to use them. I was going to pre drill and countersink so screw heads were completely buried.
  11. its funny as I didn't hear Trump say that but we did do quite impressive in the last quarter our investments were shockingly well off considering Brexit was going to make the sky fall..Can they do it again somehow, cause our investors made good money..
  12. It doesnt look used to me.. maybe just dropped. Either way id take it back..
  13. Ithink Trump wins by a land slide..I don't like either, but I still think its Trump...sadly
  14. Nice.. 6000 kms eh...lol I wish I was as skilled as that..Good job..I love that compass..That's my last name...lol There is an automotive electrical place here in town..I think I may take it to them..Im not comfortable taking on that task..
  15. So.... any marine electrical guys here? Sigh....I got looking under the dash of the boat to see whats involved with just removing the whole console. Much to my suprise I found this....Wires burnt and stuck together..Dont ask me what happened..When I first got the boat all the gauges worked. One day they just quit. all except for the amp meter. None of the gauges light up anymore either. I'm at a loss here..can anyone help? im willing to pay..This is not what I was looking for when I went up under there...Yikes
  16. Id say good luck Ryan, but you dont need it..Your a head strong kind of guy and will have no problem running your own business. Forge ahead and the good life will follow..
  17. crap.. now you tell me..lmao always the way..I literally just picked up my flooring at Proctor marine in Simcoe. $350 for 21 feet. I think I may have got some drool on the new E-TEC 90 HO ....I see a credit application in the near future..That and a transom swap...lol
  18. There was 1/2 in the boat that I pulled out in tiny pieces. I decided to go with 3/4 inch pine marine grade plywood. Its actually lighter then maple 1/2 inch marine ply.
  19. Not a thing I did a test on the foam and all is well..There are foam blocks in the bow, that are hurting a little. They pop right out so i was thinking I may make some new ones with some polystyrene foam from home depot.. Under the plywood floor for the rest of the boat the foam was 100% intact
  20. I gotta admit, I have really enjoyed Obama as President..Its unfortunate he couldn't get much done. Everything the man proposed was instantly shut down by the heavily favored Republican congress. In 8 years he honestly didnt stand any chance to make any real changes..Clinton is a mess.. Trump is a clown..Good luck to my American friends..Here's my prediction.Trump wins by a landslide and gets the boot by the end of year one.
  21. Trump or Clinton.. what a friggin mess. Clinton is so far up the arses of the 1% im sure her soul is now owned..If I were American (thank god im not) id have no other choice but to vote for Trump. At lease he is-int owned publicly...Clinton is a massive sellout.. Monsanto, big pharma, , big banks they all run the puppet strings they call Clinton..Dont get me started on Billy..
  22. Holy crap what would a new motor cost? Cant be that much more, no?
  23. Awesome..Phill is a classy guy to do what he did today..I dont consider it an insult to Toronto..Anyone that's insulted by this should check their feelings some place else..Cool stuff
  24. I found it the hard way..I even searched for my posts and nothing came up..Thanks for the help
  25. So I was finally able to get back to work on the Smoker Craft...Yikes having friends that let you use their boat is both good and bad. Good is I haven't missed a beat..She is a smaller boat but I have spent the last 7 months in it on and off. We finally got back to the Smoker Craft though..Saturday was a big day..Finished the gutting, drilling of the rivets and started with sanding scraping and using the Goof Off on the heavy residue..I decided to go with Marine grade 3/4 inch ply..$500 for 4 sheets...Yikes. The sheets are cut and ready for sealing..Do you all think I should use primer or resin, or both? As you can see I got lazy and didn't bother to remove the center console..It is completely rotten on the bottom where that soft floor was so im going to try to rebuild it in place..Height of laziness I know...lol. I was able to get 90% of the carpet residue off with a orbital sander and a scraper. The rest had to be rubbed off. I went with Goof Off over acetone only because that's what I had on hand yesterday...lol Here are some pics..Ill try to do better at keeping this thread alive until i'm finished the boat.. Oh any good places to get marine grade vinyl at a reasonable price? I'm also looking for a good used fish finder as I cant afford to spend a ton on this thing right now..
