Re: Yamaha Outboard Parts Supplier

I learned yesterday that they sold the EXACT SAME 9.9 2 stroke model from 1996 to 2010! One model! No changes!!! Wow.
Many of the US and Japan changes are to meet emissions standards.

Yamaha Outboard Parts Supplier

I'm in Mexico and they never sold, for instance, 6hp outboards down here. They can't get any parts for something that they never sold so I'm stuck getting them shipped from the US. Do you have any...

I called him arrogant not because he tried to innovate. I called him arrogant because he was incredibly arrogant on this board and on Sailing Anarchy.
Arrogance exists independent of innovations. ...

No, not that one, the one I'm talking about was a younger guy and there was a HUGE X made of 3" or 4" aluminum tubing and it broke up right at that big X.

Re: USA Expat-a Good Place to Go?

There's no good reason not to sail south. You'll love it here, I promise. Sail here in the winter, leave your boat up in the sea or in Bahia Banderas where it's safe from hurricanes and cruise the...

Re: 53 foot Cat breaks in half

And think of the designer's position. You designed a series of revolutionary boats more than a quarter century ago and you made a little money. Now that some of the boats that were built have lost a...

Re: 53 foot Cat breaks in half

Wow. So a one-off hull(s) built by somebody who probably had never built a catamaran before, even if it was a yard that built it, made of hardware store quality materials and then fitted with a...

Yes, my wife is very hot. She gets hit on every day.

Re: Most expensive haul out in the world

Re: Your Opinion - Best Dinghy?

We traded our 2nd delaminated PVC Zodiac (that we bought new) and some labor for a Hypalon Zodiac RIB. Seemed like a good idea at the time. We're doing our 3rd round of re-gluing now. I'm really...

Re: Abandon living aboard

Re: would you take a drink?

He shouldn't drink but rather lead his nemesis to the trough and make him drink and then stumble across some treasure that he can never use because there's nothing to buy but more drinks.

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico
