You let your daughter drive with that thing plugged in and I'm sure a rate change is exactly what you will get. I am not sure if its the one you are looking for though. God help you if she has a boyfriend that drives the car when you aren't looking! :shock: I know right...she is driving my old car....

Great story Michael...and so well stated. These boats are getting up in age and perfection is just not achievable in most cases. After all, we are not spending the 250,000-400,000 that boats in this class are fetching new these days. Glad to hear your outcome is positive. AND, that is a really gorge...

Well yes, didn't you get the memo? Our children are much more fragile than we were. Thats why we can't spank them anymore.

The Chrysler 318's in your boat are pretty bullet proof provided they have not been neglected. That should be a very nice handeling boat with that power package. My negative experience with that vintage Trojan was with the galvanized fuel tanks. Change your filters often. You may find a gritty/sandy...

I'm sorry sir, the rise quotient doesn't match the tread square footage. This is a hazzard. You must tear these steps down and begin anew....BTW, where is your permit?...and have you been before the architectural design board?

That boat is pretty bow heavy in most situations so standing water may have gathered there.. You can pull the V-berth cushions and plywood supports to see the most forward ones. The hatch in the floor just at the head door is another access place but I can't think of any other access. The engine com...

Snapshot from Progressive...

Hi All, Just recieved my device to plug into the diagnostic port on my car from Progressive. It is supposed to lower my auto insurance by as much as 50% according to the way I drive. With a new teenage daughter driver, I need all the help I can get. I'll keep you posted on the results. Optimisticall...

Coca Cola works OK but Tang...the orange drink works better. I use it to get the stains out of my dishwaser. Unbelieveable stuff. I won't drink it though.
Also, I agree...I wouldn't let that person on my boat again.

Hey there...You can save yourself alot of expence and grief by going over the boat yourself very well before you even consider an offer or hiring a surveyor. Walk around the decks very slowly...you'll feel the soft spots if there are any. Pay peticular attention around the cutouts...ie; fuel fills, ...
