Re: Corvette eng fuel use

I have been wondering the same.

I come from a sailing background and am now considering a power boat.

I have seen a couple of Carvers around 31' , 10k displacement and twin engines. One small...

Re: Stopping in CUBA to refuel....

Thank you for sharing that.

I have been looking forward to a Cuba trip and was extremely disappointed when I heard you that restrictions where back.

Looks like I may still get there :)

Me too!

Unfortunately, I don't have high expectations for our current Congress, regardless of party, accomplishing much.

We need some fresh blood in DC.

Re: Best kind of Jet Ski

Not here.

It is bad behavior that I despise. It just happens the group of ill behaved people we are discussing are driving the same kind of boat.

Re: Best kind of Jet Ski

Bit off topic, but that reminds me of one particular dive I had an idiot pull his 50'+ boat right up to my diver down float/flag and drop his anchor 10' from me & my buddy.

He proceeded to drop a...

It also seems that many otherwise responsible adults turn into teenagers when they climb on a...

Re: Best kind of Jet Ski

I have ridden them in the past and done so with respect to other boaters & swimmers.

As a boater & diver, personally dislike them. I don't know why but they do seem to bring out bad behavior .

Re: Does this sound like a pipe dream?

I have never built a boat.

I have built a couple of houses and am currently working on my 3rd bus (to RV) conversion.

I will happily trade places with you this winter so you can enjoy the snow.

I despise the stuff.

Re: WiFi rebroadcaster

The RougeWave looks pretty slick. I looked at it a while back and saw some mixed reviews when it comes to WiFi systems that require sign in. How has yours worked for you?

Re: WiFi rebroadcaster

If the marina's you visit have the ability and are willing to "whitelist" your MAC that is wonderful. That would be the simplest route.

re: People selling boats.

Perhaps in this case the broker could do a little bit of research and spend a an hour inspecting the boat?

I don't think that there is any excuse for "no info" ads other than laziness.

Re: Does this sound like a pipe dream?

"Shantyboat" is more of a lifestyle than a "method" of construction or an indicator of quality.

Re: Does this sound like a pipe dream?

Welcome Csnlynn,

I like your idea. Try Googling "shanty boats" and "Great Loop Trip". I think that you will find a wealth of relevant information.

Have fun!!

Current draw: I=V/R

Resistance is constant. If voltage drops then so does current. On inductive loads (motors) things play a...
