  1. I saw this on 395 when I was headed to the airport.
  2. I redid the garboard drain today. I redrilled the hole, set the inside with 2 part epoxy and inserted a new drain tube. After everything setup, I redrilled holes and installed a new plug. I found this on a baoting store website; 12$. I has several tools and a place to keep the plug.
  3. Thanks, but where are the poll results.
  4. I am looking for a good wet tire, nice riding tire that will not be used for off road.
  5. Actor Patrick Swayze has died after a battle with cancer, his publicist says. Swayze broke through with his performance in 1987's "Dirty Dancing." Three years later, he became an even bigger star with "Ghost," which helped make him People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive."
  6. STUART, FL -- Jeremy Glass was enjoying the holiday weekend on the water with friends when he spotted a small boat tearing through the St. Lucie Inlet at 30 mph with no one at the wheel. "The boat was headed right toward us so it was definitely a moment of panic," he recalls. Martin County Sheriff's deputies say three people were riding on that 23 foot Contender when a large swell knocked them overboard. The boat kept going. Jeremy’s father watched it happen. He said another boat fished the three people out of the water, so he turned his attention to the runaway boat. "We decided to follow the boat make sure it didn’t run over anybody," said Virgil Glass. The shoreline was packed with recreational boaters and fishermen. The boat could have hit anything or anyone. "There were people on the north side of the rocks, people on the south side of the rocks fishing and they had absolutely no clue," said Jeremy. Jeremy started shooting video of the chase, which he later posted on YouTube. In the video, you can see the runaway boat veers 180 degrees and heads right for a rocky jetty along the inlet. The boat crashes into the rocks and flies 3 to 4 feet in the air before landing on the other side of the jetty. Jeremy and his friends drove to the other side of the jetty, then jumped in the water to turn off the motors on the runaway boat. "It had some holes in it and the motor was smoking pretty bad," said Virgil Glass. Save one small injury, deputies say the three people ejected from that boat were OK, but add they could have avoided the whole episode if the captain had worn a lanyard on his wrist, tied to the kill switch on the boat. "It was a freak accident but it’s good it played out like it did," said Jeremy Glass
  7. My OEM hatch was cracked and I am sure it leaked. Trophy wanted 110 for the same style, so I picked up a Bomar for $55, double seal with slam latch. It sits a bit higher , but will work great. I need to seal, but I stuck it on anyway. Old Hatch Opening New Hatch
  8. That is how I got my idea. BTW, my front cover never goes underwater, so leaking water is not an issue.
  9. Hey Jason! We are down at OBX until tuesday.
  10. We arrived yesterday and are getting settled in. We walked the docks last night and there are some really nice boats down here. I will take some pictures of the "fleet", and post later on. I turned the lights on last night and had few come and visit. Boat Porn!!
  11. That could be it, if you could send me the info. Thank you
  12. Does anyone that went to the Miami Boat Show remeber seeing the shower system this guy had at the tent location outside. It was basically a nozzle that hooked up to your freshwater or raw water pump. I looked at the old map of the tent exhibitors, but it is too small to read.
  13. If I could seal the tube (one end is) but the screw end would take on water. Did you put the vent at the back or downside?
  14. I saw this on another post , so I decide to make one myself. Schedule 40 4 inch pipe pipe cap on one end and screw cap on the other. I used threaded rod to make the U bolts, as they did not have the right size at HD. I need to figure out the lock part, maby a pin or a hasp with a lock.
