    Offshore Race Boats - School Me

    OL is about in their own league with their V-Bottoms. Sorta like Mystic with their cats. If you wanna go fast, you know what to buy.

    One Day at a Time

    Been going through a bit of a rough patch in life lately. Quite a few things stacking up on top of each other. Instead of thinking days, weeks, months into the future I’ve been taking it one day at a time. I’ve seen more friends and have had a clearer mind than I have in awhile. Just a dumb...

    The 388 is pushing $3,000 a year which is a “Good deal” in the high powered boat market.

    Offshore Race Boats - School Me

    We do love our Hustler’s. For small lakes I have a mint 03 266 Classic with a 525efi. Hallett builds a quality product! I do like their boats. Your west coast boats have their own style. I’ve ran into him a few times over there, I think you two had posted the same forest fire pics on the...

    Offshore Race Boats - School Me

    Like anything it’s all on what you buy and want to do. Same as a racecar vs street car. If you wanted to get into it in that size range (38-42) you can get something with mild power and a good bottom so it’s efficient. Preferably stick with stock Mercury power for reliability. I’d always...

    Clutch Recommendation Question

    Had both RST and RXT currently. The RST was extremely smooth, zero chatter. I have just a touch on occasion with the RXT. My Eaton/Nitrous cobra pushed right through the RST, smoke rolling out going down the track. Cool thing about the McLeods is that they are rebuildable. When I cooked the...

    Rules and regs in your industry that negatively affect society

    Solar buy back regulations that require utilities to pay more than they pay on the open market which just gets redistributed to everyone else. And eventually turns into income based facilities charges (Comifornia).

    Anyone into wood working? Restoration project.

    It’s a detached pole building. I’ll let you know how the beers flow once we’re done. It was a short trip so probably won’t get back to it until spring. But not bad progress for 3 days!

    Anyone into wood working? Restoration project.

    They were throwing it out at my girlfriend’s dad’s work, so he grabbed it for me. I believe it’s in Monroe Center, IL. If I remember right you’re up in this neck of the woods, right?

    Anyone into wood working? Restoration project.

    Putting together a “shop bar” and finally get to utilize this back bar. I did find out the strip club this came out of was called Ken’s Hideaway. The electric Co-op required 20ft of clearance of their overhead lines so they mowed down quite a few of our cedar trees (a shame really). We took...

    Alright, who was it? Yellow Cobra - Memphis

    Which one of you were running down my buddy’s blue M5 in Memphis? He called me in disbelief that a cobra ran up to 160mph with him. We both want to know the mods done to the cobra. If it was you let me know, and great run! Sounded like a fun exchange. Details: Yellow cobra In Memphis...

    Though they tested the DEF injector in the past they are replacing it now. Should have it back within a day.

    Any TDI or VW Mechanics in Here?

    Sure seems that way. A lot of guessing and throwing parts at it. I’ve seen mention of software updates in the notes, perhaps that was the pcm reflash. Luckily this is all warranty still so I haven’t paid a dollar. I would have unloaded it immediately if I was.

    Names for my Roomba vacuums and mopping robots

    Here’s a dumb one. The auto pool vacuum is a Hayward so it got named Ward. The house vacuum then took on the name Land Ward.
