That raises an interesting question. What % of fiberglass boats are still floating 30 years later and is that number increasing or decreasing...
Again, just playing devil's advocate here, but are you permitted to run a charter fishing boat without a license? Technically that's exactly what...
Reading that is worth more than the pay. Best to the family.
Not entirely sure about that last sentence. Once the owner and his passengers are on board wouldn't he technically be taking passengers for hire...
Actually had an owner do that on a Carver with Cummins. Big bang, but surprisingly no damage even to the trannys much less the boat.
Absolutely go pre-owned. Most boats get very little use so you can probably get one that's just broken in (200-400 hrs) for a huge savings and...
This should be an interesting court case. I can't believe that this kind of damage could occur in a 3 to 4 foot following sea without an...
That would help to explain the amount of damage. Two problems I have with that theory though are that it doesn't jibe with the reports and more...
A 6 pack license is someone who takes boating more seriously than Joe Sunday Boater, but it is the bottom license (save launch operator). A 6...
You did answer the question and very well, but you may have missed that he's a 6 packer. Nobody with your quals is going to do the work he's...
That is incredible footage. There is definite delam all over the place, but the core pockets mostly look filled. I'll leave it to the experts...
Welcome to YF Kindredspirits and N6ERH. The Bert thread brought along several posters with agendas or just filling space. I think those types...
Please close that thread. It has grown to a point of being cumbersome with the same things being repeated over and over by different posters...
In every profession there is a place for all types. Some pilots ride the space shuttle. Their level of knowledge needs to be far superior than...
A few years ago a pretty good fisherman retired. He'd let his license lapse and said he wouldn't stand a prayer of passing the current test....
That thing looks like it must be a thrill a minute docking in a good wind. Do you know what kind of cruise speed it gets?
I believe some of my TVs are Japanese and some of my clothes are from China. My next car will probably be a Chevy, but I don't see what any of...
DK why that matters, but it's a Harley 1450cc Super Glide. If you're referring to boats: other people's (I let others throw their money into that...
The only ones who seem not to have figured out yet that Bertram is at fault are the involved parties, but what do they know. It's not like they...
Good call Bill. Bertram should go out of business. They should close their doors. The municipality where they're built can do without that tax...
