Cool piece! For reference I used to have a 1981 Ski Tique which was the 17’ -9” version of this with a 302. Partner and I dumped way too much money into it but it was a pretty clean ride when we sold it. I bought him out before selling and had Trail Rite build a brand new dual axle trailer for...
Sorry for your loss. Suicide is a terrible thing that has affected me and that I’ll never understand. I think I’ve posted this on here somewhere before but I lost two of my cousins to suicide two years apart seven and five years ago.
I grew up in a family of six kids with five younger sisters...
Got word yesterday from our client that masking was going away effective this morning for vaccinated individuals. Notified all the subs and told them if they didn’t want to wear a mask they could voluntarily bring proof and be done with it. Got news it was being reversed this afternoon. Had to...
Either inflation is real or this is a joke. 7 year old truck with 170k for almost 50k? [emoji848]. It looks like a nice truck but those numbers are fucking crazy

I don’t have my pilots license due mostly to a lack of time but have been around it quite a bit growing up. My Grandpa has had a hanger at Chino for as long as I can remember. He owned the green L19 Bird Dog shown below for many years and only gave it up for fear of losing his flight physical...
I didn’t read the article but I’ve had COVID and am now fully vaccinated with the Pfizer. Honestly, the reason I got it was so I wouldn’t have to be quarantined again if I was exposed per the restrictions of my client. I’m the PM for a fast paced project for a pharmaceutical client that has...
Just got word that the latest one we offered on went for 788k. Listed at 715 we offered 735 and the thing was only on the market for like three days. Absolute madness. Where the fuck are all these people coming from that can afford this shit! [emoji23]

Talking with our agent I think it may have been because the selling agent was concerned it might not go through escrow. Possibly wanting to keep some of the other offers interested. There are people who are literally making offers site unseen due to how quickly things are going right now...
Pretty much everything said here is true. The market is completely nuts. We placed two offers on a house two weekends ago and lost out above ask with a 21 day close. We also knew the neighbors across the street who know the sellers and put in a good word for us.
This past weekend we offered 25k...
Dolores is still at Basin. I was in the slip next to Terry for about a year after I bought mine and now I’m two docks over. They are great boats [emoji106]

I was already planning on redoing the cooling systems on both motors in the next few weeks with the help of a buddy who works on Yanmars. In fact I’ve got all the parts sitting and ready to go.
Also have been researching how to check the turbo before totally removing since the incident. Going...
Between my COVID quarantine on the boat and the water heater saga the boat didn’t get run as much as usual January through March. I pretty religiously run it outside the harbor and blow the turbos out every two weeks but it had only been harbor cruised since January. This past weekend the wife...
Moment of truth and turn the new water heater on! All wired properly and beautiful...15 seconds later BAM breaker trips again. I’m dangerous as a marine electrician but not an expert especially on the 120ac side. Decided next step was replace the breaker in the panel. Guess what? Fixed the issue...
At this point I had decided that the old water heater must be fucked and I was pissed so I threw that POS in the dumpster and ordered a replacement.
Got the new one delivered and unpackaged and spent at least two hours trying to get the GD stainless protective film off. Whoever assembled this...
Painstakingly removed the uncured bilge coat and carefully cleaned the amine blush off the new epoxy and put down several very thin new layers that cured!

While taking my time removing the uncured bilge coat I took on the water heater rebuild. The problem that had been occurring was that the breaker was tripping. I made the assumption that the heating element was bad so bought a replacement for like 30 bucks and decided to put it in. Turns out to...
Sanded a bit and cleaned with solvent then out down some one part bilge coat.
It looked great but from a combo of cold temps, too thick of coats and the amine blush from the epoxy that I learned about later I had the privilege of stripping it all off after it didn’t cure...
