  1. I need a little advice, we are planning on leaving a boat in the bahamas (Elbow Cay) for an extended period of time at a house with a dock. What is the best way to protect the boat / motors from being stolen. It a 26 Scout with twin Yam 225's. Put it on a lift, isolation or hidden master key, motor cylinder locks, GPs locator? The caretaker will check on it periodically but I thought it could use an added level of security. I know if anyone wants something they can take it but I'm trying to minimize the risk. Suggestions?
  2. My uncle used one to catch fish... Somehow he had a power cord hooked up to it and would drop the cord in a small pond and crank the handle. It would generate enough electricity to stun small bream and catfish. I thought it was a hoot. But not nearly as fun as the blasting caps.. Good times in South GA!
  3. Probably any good wood working or cabinet shop can make one, that size will probably be two ro more boards glued / epoxied together. Also I think the BW's were mahogany instead of teak. If you cant find one i know a shop here in Charleston, SC taht will make it for you. will need to know thickness as well. Good luck!
  4. That key west should not have any wood in it. Look on the transom for a label that says "Klegcel - No-rot" (spelling?) I'm not sure about the tank but i think its about 20 or 25 gallons. Ive had one for years and its a great little boat, enjoy it.
  5. Bought the entire radio / speaker display this afternoon. 7 radios, remote, amps, subwoofer, and 14 speakers, $750. It was about the only thing left in the store except some contraption to let you make your own carbonated soda(WTF???) Was $90.00 marked down to $9.95 plenty left...
  6. I have about 150 hrs on my 250 and have not had an ounce of trouble. Here is a story i have meant to post: At around the one year aniversary I was looking through my documents and realized i never got my $500 gas card which was a promotion during the sale period. I had worked a really great deal with the dealer due to his floor plan coming to an end so i didnt think much about it, actually i wasnt sure it was part of the deal I got. I called BRP to check on any updates and asked the guy at tech support about the gas card. He said he was sorry but that deal had ended several months back and the dealer was supposed to fill out some paperwork. No biggie, I thanked him for checking and helping me with the updates and hung up. About a week later I get a letter from BRP...... They essentially apologized for the "mix up" said the gas card was no longer available since it was a joint promotion from Shell Oil... etc...etc.... And attached a check for $500.00 That, my friends, is customer service! If you call BS I got the letter and a copy of the check!
  7. Good to hear from you Tabman. You guys provided arguably the best customer service on any item I ever bought. Custom plumbed actuator in 4 days at no extra cost!
  8. OK Larry, sloooooowwwly close the fishbox..
  9. he deserved to win by simply keeping his cool. Good Job! I also agree about Tiger. I was there on Friday and you could tell when Tiger was about two holes away because the numbber of folks would start to triple and crowd in. One guy commented "Good night, You would think he was coming into town on a Donkey they way folks are gathering.." He is one Heck of aGolfer though.
  10. Welcome Aldo! A question about the Jacks, do they have parasites (small "worms") in them? The ones around here do but the ones in the Gulf of Mexico do not have them as bad (I understand).
  11. I keep the red ones on my boat (same issue -- thats the kind we use at work). I have been checked several times and they just look to make sure its fully charged. SCDNR not coast guard checks.
  12. Dude, I looked at all of the replies on your "I'm going to Vegas--- what to do" thread and Getting Married wasnt on the list...... Congratulations, I wish you a long and happy marriage.
  13. Thanks Hotspot, Thats sort of what i was thinking but all the "if you wax it it cleans up better" talk got me to thinking about trying it. The sand nonskid gets really dirty looking... Plus i just removed and replaced my non skid on the gunnels today and it looks so good I want to figure out a way to keep it looking good. I'll give it a try and post some results....
  14. Thanks, I will. Around here they have been using big treble hooks and 80lb braid on Internation reels. That always seemd like a good way to lose a lot of line and tangle a gator up to die later.. I like the dart and float idea. I'll check our regs last year was our first season on them. How are things in Destin? I used to stomp around there about 20 years back (high scool and college) PCB, Mexico Bch, Ft Walton ..... good times! Those gulf beaches are super nice!
