    Charleston 2016 get together.

    I still don't know. I am 200% ready and willing. The able part, I just ain't too sure. Spring Break pops for us next week down here so I will not have the girls to go along with. I have given it considerable consideration to be sure. I am a definite Maybe as for now. AKA The...

    Two rookie questions

    If you buy that premix cup the math is already figured out for you;-) Premixing only sucks because of the additional smoke at idle from my experience. Mix a little heavy, like 40:1 and idle around a lot and you can foul plugs. Or at least the old beast 250 EFI would. From the post title -...

    new AR in a 223 palmetto state

    I've got the Colt variant. It really takes a lot of shooting in order to get used to that Tommy Gun style foregrip. Mine came with the Magpul version. It comes right off, but I left it because it looks just so darn cool. IMO There are way too many scopes to choose from.. Are you going to...

    finally made it out this year

    That is crappy. Carolina Skiff and the service department kept the company I worked for in the late 80's ALIVE. They were not too bad to porpoise as I recall. (Original design) My dad's newer designed 14J 20hp Merc will definitely porpoise if there is noone in the front seat. I can move the...

    For Ferm

    At about 2:50 in they went from quartering to head sea. Huge difference in speed. My back hurts...

    The need for speed

    Set it on economy and drive like you have an egg under your foot and I eek out 24 MPG when empty. IFF I stay in the sweet spot at 63MPH... Need new rubber on the rear NOW,:sun: Thanks Ferman. And yes that Suburban totes the mail.. For a grocery getter, everyone needs one.

    Atlantic City Boat Show.....observations

    Not to derail but is anyone watching the 38' Fountain build thread on THT? Quad 400R Mercury outboards. Should set a new record for center consoles. 30' boats just aren't that big when it comes right down to it. Center consoles do lack a lot of creature comforts. Dry seating is one of them...

    The need for speed

    I've been pretty fast in a couple rigs, my truck is NOT confidence inspiring in the least at 100. LOL! Get's there pretty nice though.:haha:

    The need for speed

    I totally here you about make believe video. Truth is, they want to sell that boat to the common rich dude for the sole purpose of doing poker runs and the like. Those guys get a little too competitive at times. SO you won't get me onboard without a skull cap and a lifeline jacket. I will...

    Florida, here I come...

    Stink has been posting up about the $69.oo camera, his video looks pretty good. I have a new one in the box but have been too busy to get it out and try it. On a R/C airplane or drone was my intent. I have the Go Pro but often fly it without the protective case. It has taken a beating. I...

    Boats like these on Lake Tarpon normally....:haha::oh: Speed is all fun until the abrupt stop..

    The need for speed

    Lake Tarpon Boyz are fast as hell... Statement on their stomping grounds don't supprise me much. There are literally ten 100+ mph boats on that lake that I know of.. Maybe none as classy as that Statement. Does it bother anyone that there was little to NO safety gear being worn at 138...

    Mariner 150 v/s mercury 225

    At the dealership we always said that a Mariner was a Mercury with a bad paint job. The powerheads are all black under that Gray cowl IIRC.. I did have a old 2.4Liter 200 (389 lbs and approx 175 prop hp) on the bracket at one point. Balance was spot on, I think it ran 48 MPH. The 550 lb...
