69 and 50% sounds good but 75 and 50% with a 6 kt breeze swirling across the water is very nice...drifting or mooching!

Living here on the west side of the mountains is a dung heap of PCHIT...I couldn't agree more about the waste...but it is being lead from the other WA...don't you know!!!

Welcome...this is going to be fun watching this one as it has been watching Goatram's..another journey. Make us proud...you are right it is a good bunch here at AAB.

Welcome fellow RAIDERite! Good looking ride...there should be plenty of room for a kicker on the transom..my new 9.9 fit well. Again Welcome!

That is a lot boat for the size...know how you feel...making it your own is the fun part. It sure looks like the old owner didn't like using fenders either...sure makes docking at ramps no matter which side they are always there. Congrats and have FUN!!! Off to run a ferry while the rest of you play...

Happy 4th to everyone...pls be safe with boating and swimming and fireworks! In WA we have had a number of drownings during this hot spell...some were "you can't put a lifejacket on stupid"...it is a shame! HAPPY INDEPENDANCE DAY! :skipper: I will be running the backup ferry on the 4th...t...

Not to belabor the the replacement of your windlass...I am thinking of the Alum 900 Baracuda for my boat...and it says on the Anchorlift site the USA model uses 7mm and the Eur 6mm, but not knowing your model number it is just a guess...did you happen to get a Euro windlass, guessing? http://www.anc...

No set time frame on this trip...if you have suggestions for things to do...let's hear them. THX!

Shonuf! Y'all! Bless his heart!

It was a rainy day to finish the boat work and to load it on the trailer. John had me helping with the bunk adjustement...those are some thick bits of HDPE..they do the job. Also became the blast adjuster for Chaps...1/16 turn up...now one more...down 1/4 turn..up 1/8 that's it! And away he went bla...

Soon I'll be making my way to Fort Collins and Denver and onto Leadville, CO to have some fun with a pal of mine who is a locomotive engineer and a captain as well. He is working the senic train in Leadville. I'll be travleing along I-84 to Boise and then onto I-80 to Fort Collins, then south to Den...

I just picked up 3 boxes of 22LR today it was the last on the shelf at a fairly big gun shop inTacoma, Wilchers, where my BIL works part-time...no family deals as owner is pretty tough customer and the prices are good anyway...got some 9mm practice rounds also and a new holster for the SA, inside th...

All you gotta do to change the prop is take out the cotter key and take off the nut...or is the nut on the other end of the tools?

Les she just sees what I have spent. Those blinders she has are from the old horse drawn freight wagons. Capt when her bottom has all of her paint on. The rain might be the draw back. Bob said this Wednesday or Thursday Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Would it OK with you and Chaps if I st...

Well, I'll let you know when I am headed your way and we'll get after the trimming for sure. Have a good evening!

When are you going to pick her up from Chaps? PJ

That is truely a nice set up you have in the back...next time I'll be bringing my SA XD9 and 38 revolver to play around on your range...that would be fun! M has not decided whether to shoot or not...it is as you said the slide/stength issue. Have fun plinking. BTW what is the maximun distance you ca...

THX for the info and the link. Now I need to look inot what the air bags for the truck requires...some have cab balance switch panels...wonder if that will mate up to another system. Also to feed the air horns I need a switch/valve that opens when hit the horn...that would go in place of the little ...

Jetty, As you said you were running light and only hit 5300...so what it means you are getting more thrust for lower RPM and thusly some fuel economy...but loaded and you pushed her it would seem to me the engine will get hotter as it is working hard...but then when you are loaded...do you go on pla...

Some info for you...A 4 balde will run smoother less vibration...but with a relatively small OB sized prop you may not even notice it being smoother while underway...but in bigger size for IB larger boats with speeds around 10 to 20 knots..you would know. Another blade means more resistance in the w...

I was wonder how folks who have tanks for seats and maybe on their truck for airbags felt about the brand/model they have? Any issues and concerns and advice? My purpose is to run a system on my truck to pump up tires, run air horns and maybe suspension airbags. I have a perfect place under the bed ...

Looks like this is coming together nicely...nice wire job. I spoke with a pal who does canvas work...that type of fabric is not suitable for dye afterwards...doesn't take! You could always do like "days o yore" in merchant and navy ships, PAINT. Sorry!

Thx for posting.

WELCOME!

Welcome...I have always liked that style of boat fro family and fishing. PJ
