Says the guy who thinks sharing an opinion is an attack on others....
At what point did I say that diesel was for towing the boat? At what point did I say I bought that truck BECAUSE it was diesel?
Also, you do realise that the world exists outside of this...
One of the best days of my life was when I sold my diesel, and bought a gas truck. Then I lost my sanity again for some reason, and bought another diesel. Been kicking myself ever since, but truck...
Seems like the shift from "the family car is just fine to tow with" to "you NEED a big-arse diesel dually to tow ANYTHING!!!!" coincided with the late 90s/early 2000s when everyone started to get a...
Not really sure how to respond to that....sorry I wasn't around when dinosaurs roamed the earth? I wasn't born with all the world's knowledge and experience like you apparently were?
That's easy - easy to obtain credit. Same reason new cars and trucks are so expensive, along with college tuition. Few people look at the TOTAL cost, and only focus on the monthly payment. Same...
Typical factory radios and 4 speakers will only pull a few amps, even at full volume. But once you start adding an amp and subs, that amp draw can go WELL in to the double digits. The Alpine 4x70...
They don't snort the glue in liquid form, lol, they're inhaling the fumes...much like many kids take a whiff of markers, just on a much larger scale. The usual method is to empty a bottle/tube into...
How the heck are you guys powering all this stuff in a bass boat? Considering that the vast majority of bass boats are outboards, and outboards typically have very minimal charging systems that...
15 years ago, I was in sales. I didn't make jack diddly squat as a commission on the main product. I made an absolute KILLING on the credit/financing end, and the add-ons/extras/accessories, and...
They're "huffing" it. Which is basically inhaling the vapors. A few decades ago it was modeling glue, and now people have moved on to dang near anything that produces a solvent vapor. Same reason...
I'm sure this has been asked plenty of times before, but I'm not sure how to structure the search to avoid the hundreds of threads asking about trolling motor issues, lol.
My parents recently...
Seemed kind of an expensive route to buy a freezer just so I could get the cardboard.... :laugh:
I just figured there had to be some kind of a source to buy this kind of stuff out there somewhere....
When I carried AAA insurance, I had a couple not at fault incidents, and they were a breeze to deal with. The difference was that I submitted the claim through MY company, under my policy, and let...
Installed by the mechanic? Better be oil in it! I wouldn't expect to have to add oil to something a mechanic/shop installed....
That said, I've never had a LU make noise when spinning the prop...
It's always been in the back of my mind to add a kill switch to my boat, and I'll definitely be doing so now that I have it torn apart for a redecking and wiring clean up job!
In the process of redecking my boat due to PO mistakes. He literally just slid new, unsealed, ply over the old rotten decking, covered it in carpet, and screwed it down. Needless to say, it didn't...
"Mine is 15/20 years old and works great"....and this is why Optima and Craftsman still sells, despite the quality going into the toilet. The junk made today LOOKS exactly like the pumps from 20...
Other than the obvious answer of "there's no connection to do so" :laugh:
Given the frequent need to run boat motors out of the lake/river/ocean (frequent in general, not meaning one specific...
In my 30 some odd years of being on the water, there have been PLENTY of times I found myself thankful that I've always been poor, and couldn't afford the bigger boats, lol. I remember a few years...
I was thinking about this myself when I was looking at the cost of those trays, and wondered, since I'm planning on redoing my deck soon anyways, any reason I just can't use the same plywood that's...
My new to me boat came with a bow mounted Minnkota Edge 50 TM which I had never used before...always had transom mounted tillers before. This is probably considered ancient by most here, lol, but...
I was thinking more along the lines of cable travel, more so on the shift side...not knowing if say, a box meant for a Johnson motor would have a different cable throw than a Force box, so that the...
Dad recently gave me an old Shakespeare Criterion reel on a Samson Steel pole. Its nothing special value or rarity wise, though Dad thought it was either Grandpa or Great Grandpa's childhood set up....
