    HP Tuners vs EFI Live?

    Like the title says, which software does everyone prefer? In digging around on Ls1 tech, its seems about as polarized as ford vs chevy. I'm not a fan of the "credits" concept with HP Tuners, but I'm likely only going to be doing 3 vehicles in the next 5 years, so not a big issue. FWIW, this...

    PVS plug questions

    So in getting things sorted out on the Scarab for this summer, I noticed one of the rectangular PVS plugs on my Laser is missing. This raises a couple questions... 1. I looked online but my foo must be lacking because I couldn't find the rectangular plugs. Anyone got a source? 2. What are...

    cover causing cracks in gel?

    Pulled the cover on the Scarab today only to find 2 cracks running lengthwise up the dash. They weren't there earlier in the year, and last time I checked, stress cracks dont happen sitting in the driveway. The only thing I can think is that the cover is causing them. Its stored outdoors for...

    Small business health insurance plans

    I know there are a few brokers on the boards, so here's my question. In CA I believe the minimum requirement is 2 "employees". How is this determined/verified, and how do you handle/can you accommodate 1099 workers? I'm looking at possibly getting a plan going through my business, but wanted...

    Lavey 21XTSKI cuddy/open...

    Anyone have one? If so, how bad is the crawl through to the bow seating? If you had it to do over, would you keep this config, go open bow, or closed deck? How useable are the lounges in the cuddy?

    Nice Stainless Loader

    SOLD PRICE DROPPED to $180 I'm getting rid of the last of my jet drive odds and ends, and still have a very nice open center loader sitting on the shelf collecting dust. I had the loader made by Jack at MPD back when I had 820hp in my Spectra, and have been told it should be a good fit as a...

    Greece, America, and Occupy Wall Street: a sign of things to come?

    http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/19/business/greece-austerity-strikes/index.html?hpt=hp_t2&iid=HP_LN This is what happens when a sense of entitlement rules a sizeable percentage of a population. Anyone that thinks I'm a whacko for investing just as much in 5.56 as in financial instruments should...

    Ditch the carpet?

    Boating related ;) I'm going to need to replace the carpet in my Scarab this winter, and I was thinking of ditching it all together, sanding the glass on the floors smooth, and doing the floors in Awlgrip or gel with light non-skid patterns masked into the gel or paint. I can handle the work...

    350 Mag Carb Issues

    My 350 Mag is setup with a Weber carb, I'm not too familiar with the Weber/CarterAFBs, and was hoping this is a somewhat common problem. The boat idles fine, and seems to clear up at WOT (though wind noise pretty much drowns out the engine noise at that point), but it's definitely not running...

    Let's Talk Trim Tabs

    We took the Scarab out this weekend, and for the most part had a great time. A couple little issues, but for a first time out with the kids a new-to-us setup, I'm pretty happy with the hull in cruddy water. The one area that needs some work is planing out at slower sped for tubing, and...

    Ano question

    If everything works out for Emily's job situation this fall, and we're still happy with the Scarab, I'm probably going to do a complete re-rig of the dash, electrical, interior, stereo, etc. (everything but the drive and engine). One of the things I want to do is replace the current dash pannels...

    What's Your Straw?

    This is quasi-political, but I figgure it could conceivably start here. The other thread about the Chinese buying chunks of America and using them to subvert trade agreements etc. and my conversation with my daughter really got me thinking. What specifically would it take for you to decide the...

    VHF - Handheld or Fixed?

    For a 22' boat, the occasional trip outside the breakwater, maybe Catalina, what would you use? If fixed, what are your thoughts on the small detachable base antennas? Chris

    Aqua Step or ?

    So the integrated swimstep on the new boat is too high off the water for the kids to get in and out of the boat without major help, and I want to minimize acrobatics around the drive for obvious reasons. This has me looking for ladder options. I've heard the Aqua steps never retract right, etc...

    Stainless welder in Havasu or Parker?

    Just picked up the new boat, and I want to make a change to the seat bases before I get it wet. Any fab shops or repair guys that can weld stainless in the Parker/Havasu area on a Saturday? Chris

    Trailer tires, maybe wheels in Havasu?

    I'm leaving to pick up my new ride in a few hours and I'm thinking the tires may need replacing before I can bring it home. Where is a good place to buy trailer tires, possibly mounted on galvanized wheels(for use at home in the salt)? Trevor is checking on pricing for me, but I screwed up...
