Views: 18,115

Posted By easterly38

Re: How important is a stove with an oven and gimballed question

Re: Would You Buy a Boat With Termites ?

My boat had termites and it ended up being a serious pain. I was able to kill them and repair the damage, but it took a LOT of my time. Had I paid to fix the problems caused, it would have run...

Is the Market Really this Bad ?

Posted By easterly38

Re: Is the market really this bad?

Re: Engine Alignment

I will second a lot of the advice here. Go slow, take your time and have a second person to help.
