  1. Yeah, i'd go with the Volt, i hear they're....... "on fire" right now!
  2. You guys hunt skeet??? We hunt deer and ducks in these here parts. I think you guys in Mass are allowed to own cap guns............no high capacity cap rolls though.
  3. Personally, i'd shoot em, breast emn out, and make a good stew!!
  4. Lol, i'm with you on this, i just can't get into the Facebook, Myspace, Twitter stuff, seems more suited to kids. I much prefer to take part in forums where i can discuss my interests, such as fishing, boating, hunting, politics, etc....
  5. I have used Collonite, Rejex, Meguiars Flagship, and most recently Starbrite polish w/PTEF. They are all good waxes/polishes in their own right, but the Starbrite was to easiest to apply and remove. It also left the fiberglass really slick and shiny, but it hasnt't been long enough to tell how long it will last yet. If it lasts through the summer into the fall, i will likely use it exclusively from here on, considering the ease of applying/removing. It is my understanding that the carnuba based waxes will not last nearly as long as the polishes that have some form of PTEF, but the polishes are only intended for gelcoat that is in like new condition. If your gelcoat is in good condition, i don't see a need to apply more than one good coat, and i have seen claims that is does no more to protect than a single coat. I can't imagine applying 2 or 3 coats like some of these guys claim, considering it takes me nearly a full day to put one coat on my 22'CC.......that's inside, outside, and entire bottom of hull (no bottom paint). Waaaay too much work!
  6. It's even worse up here in the northern areas. I went to a local show last weekend, and the dealers seem to be predominantly pushing the smaller boats. In years past the niche was for mid-size boats in the 22'-26' range, but this year there was very little of those sizes and the majority fell in the 18'-22' category. I think in our area the smaller boats are the only thing keeping some of the dealers afloat.
  7. I like Scouts about as much as anything i've ever seen. They have beautiful lines, and great layouts. Absolutely love the big express model in the pics above. Since there's no drool emoticon this will have to do!!
  8. Congrats Chris!! I had my first back in March, nothing else like it in the world!
  9. No, it's not that bad. I can do it with no problem by myself, just takes a little longer.
  10. Looks alot like mine, only 2' bigger!! They are nice rigs, don't think you'll be disappointed.
  11. Here's the cover i bought from BoatCoversDirect.com, it ran about $600 for my 22' CC. T-topcovers.com makes a nice cover too, more expensive though, and it does not cover the t-top if your boat has one. Overall, i am happy with mine, can be a bit of a pain to put on by yourself if the wind is blowing.
  12. Mine hasn't worked since the day i brought the boat home from the dealership. Never really worried too much about it, always check the trim visually anyway. Where exactly is the trim sender cam on the new F150's, i may try to fix it myself. If not, will the yamaha warranty usually cover the repair?
  13. Lower DE. Fish the mid and lower Chespeake, De bay, and inland Md, De, Va bays. Especially love the Tangier Sound area.
  14. Good post, that is exactly why i wax the bottom of my hull too, even though i hate every second of it. Then i just wash it after i use it with one of those boat wash/wax soaps and everything cleans up real easy.
