Pathfinder, Pursuit and SCout. The 300 has a lot of promise.

[acb vs. cat]

If you live in the Northwest, you would have more opportunities to examine, and drive alloy cats, and ACB's. My boat is a mono hull, and built of alloy, as are many of the commercial fishing boats, Coast Guard, law enforcement, exploration, etc etc.

I did, however take a test drive on an ACB, and found it a pleasure to drive. Not at all a pounding ride as someone said. The downside to me was the loss of usable width due to the chambers. There is an ACB company in Bellingham Washington making a very high quality boat being used recreationally, and by the US military.

Alloy cats are becoming quite popular, with Armstrong Marine in Port Angeles, and Moose Boats in San Fransisco being two of the more noteworthy builders.

The cats take some getting used to, but they turn like go carts, and afford plenty of topside room due to their wide beam.

Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder, but the companies named above turn out quality products, and I'm sure if you contact them, or check out their websites, they will be happy to share their information.

Boats, as we all know, are built from various materials, and, as most people know, it is the design, and application that determines the ride, not the material used in construction

[Finding mouse drivers]

Found my way to the Windows update, and list of mice. Downloaded from there. Just realized that my XP is service pack 2. Will now look for 3.

Thanks

[Finding mouse drivers]

Just finishing up after a thermal event problem with my computer that required a reload of WindowsXP and all the programs.

My wireless mouse can't find it's drivers, and the wired mouse can't find them from a USB port.

Using the adapter on the wired mouse to the round green mouse port works fine.

Hoping someone can give me a tip on how to solve the problem.

Thanks for any replies

[Class Action Lawsuits]

Just received one of those notices and forms yesterday regarding homeowners insurance.

If I understood correctly, the attornies are looking for 32 mil plus for themselves.

No wonder John Edwards and folks like him became very rich.

[How Long Should It Take An F150 To Pee On Muffs]

Try a tub, stock tank, garbage can.

My experience with Yam 150's has been that sometimes they will pee from muffs, and sometimes they wont.
