    Thanks Wiley for exposing us to some of your "unprofessionalism"..... :605_thumbs_up:

    Good honest description of the hassels of sharing your site and just hoping to help a few needy souls. It's OK if they don't know what they are missing...

  3. Help Diagnose Yamaha 150 Oil Leak

    in Boating and Fishing Discussion

    Posted

    There have been several posts about these leaks lately. Since I just sold my boat with a 150 2 stroke, I had a similar problem. It seems when tilted forward it leaks. The cap on the oil tank inside the housing is not a tight fit. I put a zip tie around mine to tighten it up and stopped the leak. The color difference could be anything the oil is picking up on it's path out of the housing...good luck!

  6. Cobia from Pinellas reef

    Posted · Edited by triumphrick

    Headed out early this AM to the Pinellas reef. Lots of action with both live/dead bait. Had a huge 40' whaleshark visit us and had a few cobia following. My buddies pinfish was picked up by a 22#, About an hour later the shark returned with the cobia in tow, My live pinfish was picked up by a 30#. Good times had by all...except maybe the cobia we are eating tonight!

  8. ReelBoating Banners Are Selling Out Fast!

    I'm talking web banners.... you want a banner banner?

    That could be arranged too.

    :rb-rules:

    Heck yeah.. I want a banner banner. Just configured a little corner of my garage to do a little fishing rod and reel business and that ReelBoating banner would look great in here!!

    Just got the internet up and running out here and keep the screen on ya'll throughout the day. That way I can show my buddies where I get all of my outstanding fishing and boating knowledge.... :rb-rules::239_fishing::1992_beer_cheer:

    "Word of mouth is going to be the most important advertising you can get. mechdave"

    That was precisely what got me started when I opened my own electronics/security business back in the 80's. Also, those 40 hr weeks I was working went by the wayside. Lots of dealings with cpa's, local government agencies paperwork, vehicles....etc.

    But I would never trade the experience for anything else. Very rewarding and profitable business.

    Start slowly, don't get in over your head. Make sure you are a man of your word. Everyone promises things they can't deliver on. Not Good!

    I have bought, rewired and sold four boats over the past two years as a hobby. Few people care to lower themselves down into the bilge and uder the console and tackle a nasty birdsnest... If you are good at it, there is no reason for you not to succeed. Good luck, Rick

    Sweet looking ride......got a soft spot in my heart for mustangs (and triumphs!)

    I was around when the first CS came out..67 or 68.

    That car on an early morning and an autocross track and it will be just like hooking and fighting the big one, bringing it to the dock and everyone ooohs and aaahs....

    So, you need to hook up with the local sports car community and find a place that you can run her off the street, and not just a dragstrip. Those cars love to turn and handle..

    Or you can bring it down here to Masaryktown and we can hit the local airport course on the third Saturday and have a riot.... :2261_high:

    Good job and congratulations!

    I swear they are part of the remora family! We find them down here following rays in shallow water. They do like live bait. We also get them in the deeper water of the ship cahnnels late in the summer. I have gotten them on a fast dropping high tide....

  18. Boat budget up to $75K what to get?**PICS ADDED GOT A BOAT**

    Kinda figured I needed a WA. My dad looked at an Everglades 260CC and he loved it but it would not be practical for the family. Plus you can't use that boat year round. The wife likes the curtain enclosure for cool fall rides. Is there a way to rig up AC on a Pursuit 2870 or a Grady Sailfish 282? Someone said use a Honda Generator and one of those suitcase size room AC units from Home Depot.

    Anyone know of a clean Pursuit 2870 or Grady Sailfish 282 for sale at a good price? Preferably close to Destin, Fl.

    Thanks guys. :1992_beer_cheer:

    Here's the Boat Trader link...lots of boats for sale...

    Well, as far as the brand...if you did well with your Grady, you should consider their WA. After all, I think they started that whole gamut of boats. With a child aboard and somewhere to offer him and momma some comfort, I dont think you can beat a WA.

    We have had ours only a few weeks, and feel we made the right decision. Sure hasn't kept us from catching any fish, and the cuddy has been helpful to get out this hot sun we have down here. Good luck...wish I had your dilemma.. :605_thumbs_up:

    Number one is very proud he learned to lip a bass. Mama is out of town....called after we got home. He went on and on about how big the bass's mouth was and that he could stick his finger in it's mouth....

    This is great stuff!!! :D

    These memories will last so much longer than with a so called fishing buddy.

    Really make the guy suck up....if there's a next time.

  25. Used SUVs

    I'm a Toyota guy. Been driving one version or another of their trucks since 1971. Long before it wasn't popular buying that "foreign" brand. My current Tundra has a 4.7 and a tow rating of 6500#. The older Sequoia is rated at 6300#. The newer ones with the 5.7 will tow 6500#. My Tundra does just fine towing my sig pic rig, which is right up to the limit of our truck. All that with an unloaded mpg of around 18.

    If I had a domestic to consider it would probably be the GM products. Ford has really taken a hit with their diesels and the 5.4. Chrysler? Well, the Durango and the Hemi have nice poower, but no usable torque. When towing they drop down out of high gear regularly, even with o/d turned off...
