Read this quote and click the link. When they put it out, I will be first in line. Start running vegetable oil and you are as green as an offshore boat can be. "Remember the flak about Gale Banks marinizing a twin-turbo Duramax? Well, he's gone and improved the motor exponentially. His...

I love the seats! Are you going to put something in front of the motor so no one loses a toe?

It's a shame. Idiots like this contractor give the guys like me a bad name that do only top quality work and always pay bills on time no matter what. I agree, if this guy keeps taking on jobs with a contractor that doesn't pay, he is either a moron or he is in on it. In my opinion...

You need to look over your shoulder just as much as you look forward. If you are going 50ish like me, boats will be flying by you like you are standing still and they come out of nowhere. Then you have the jackasses that don't know what's going on and will cut you off. Like I said, I...

It does get tense. I am in a 25' and I stand the whole time. I have a deep V, so I keep the tabs and trim down when I come head to head with the first wave. "Driving in a washing machine" is a good way to put it.

The entry is $425 and that includes enough for 2 people. $50 for each additional person. Go to www.lakeracerllc.com Click on Register Online and it will give you the pricing. The run is fun, but the parties are great!

He got what he wanted. Cops have one of the hardest jobs in the world. Every day, they start a shift not knowing if that is the day they will be shot by some jackass or stabbed. The idiots doing the rally for the guy who was killed in LA threatening a girl in downtown LA piss me off. Just...

What do you think? '72 Merc 115 w/Thunderbolt ign. It has never been rebuilt, just a new lower unit 10 years ago. I ran it hard every year until 5 years ago when I bought a bigger boat. It has been sitting ever since in LHC.

Forgot the comma.

Sounds good. That is the shop that services my Baja every year. Thank you very much.

Anyone in LHC? The thought of loading the motor in the back of the Prius and driving back to LA with it does not sound fun.

Most people on this site have V-8 boats. Hopefully someone can help me out. After seeing a couple of great restoration projects, I feel it is time to restore my '66 Tahiti. It doesn't have the original outboard, but it does have a great '72 Merc 115 with the Thunderbolt ignition. I don't...

When we get food delivered, I make sure my 150lb Great Dane is at the front door with me, barking big. I pretend to hold her back and squeeze out of the door to get the food. I never open the door unless I am expecting someone. At 3am, you better believe my dog will do the talking while I...

Very nice! I am jealous. How long did it take you? Do you mind giving us a range on the total cost? I have a '66 Tahiti that needs an overhaul.

Leaving LA on Wednesday am. I will probably be nursing a hangover on Thursday. First night in town, I usually get a little carried away. Especially since it's the season kick off for me.

I scanned through and didn't see my name. I registered on Monday. Last night Jim said he hasn't gotten around to charging new entries.

I went to the NRE website. They build some bad ass engines. I wonder if they have done any marine applications. Movie makers they are not. They need to cut those things down to 3min. With my ADD, I find myself jumping through the video and only watching about 2 minutes worth. I think I...

Seats look nice! From your pictures, I saw you did work on the stringers and floor. Did you do anything or check the transom? When my dad and I re did our '66 Tahiti in the late '80s, we had to do all three.

I think, no wait...., I know my wife would kill me.

Anyone know of a guy in LHC? The boat lives there year round, but I would love to get the trailer re painted or powder coated. I prefer not to take the boat off the trailer. Some shops will block the boat and store the boat for you. Also, I don't have time to sit in front of a shop with a...
