Many of the boats look pretty easy to build. I think one of their crackerbox kits with a small diesel would be a neat tender for a larger yacht....
Did the antifreeze get to the hot water heater? I don't know if rv and marine water heaters are the same, but my camper had valves to close before...
People all over give boatbuilding a shot. https://www.glen-l.com/phpBB2/index.php I've been thinking of building a barrelback replica for a...
Pronounced drive-en. Ghetto slang used by the uneducated or those who don't understand the problems associated with autocorrect. To translate, I...
I agree with you about the future of boat/yacht shows being on the Internet. I don't know if the big yacht shows are anything like the Dallas boat...
I got all that. There was also something said about the fuel filters being the wrong ones as well. Also the water pumps were clogging with sawdust...
I stand corrected, I guess I did miss your last link. I see that some of the crew had been aboard tall ships before. Somewhere on another link I...
I've read all that, I just missed or forgot the project manager and didnt catch the owner. The project manager claims the captain informed him of...
Ok, I see what you mean. Even then, it looks like the few longer term members had no nautical experience aside from their time on the Bounty. If...

I'm the same way with cars, I like manual everything. I hate the idea of cars that drive for you, park for you and watch where you are going. Once...

I average about 150k miles a year, just street vehicles. Number varies, every time I build a nice car, someone keeps shoving cash in my face until...
Ok, that would make more sense. We have different blends for biodiesel, b5, 7 and 10 are common at the pump, but the higher percentages aren't as...
I don't know about that. More and more people run e85 in race cars because it performs better than c16 at a 10th of the cost. I run propane in my...
It's never a nice thing. Racing and riding motorcycles, I've seen more people go than I like to think of. Still, that was the one that I have...
You mean after the tsunami? I think that was the radiation messing with your head.
