Thanks all, glad I found this forum!

When did 20' become a "small" boat?

For those who haven't yet been up that way, can you provide GPS coordinates? The first turnoff from the Eastbound side of the Gandy bridge road, State Hiway 92, (200' North of the beach) will be: 27*52'16.84"-N ------- 82*36'40.20"-W (Copy it to Google Earth exactly this way: 27 52 16.84N...

Well............... you still have your 65th birthday to look forward to. Wheee! Freebes!

Perhaps, Dog, when you begin to mature past the age of fourteen, you'll understand a bit more.

I've driven humvees, so of course I wouldn't own one unless it was given to me free. But I understand why people drive them. It's because they CAN. I've snuck around to have a beer.... when I was fourteen. But I was fourteen. Why someone, an adult, would consider deliberately skirting legal prohibit...

Holding rental agencies responsible is kind of on par with holding lending agencies responsible for people getting in debt way over their heads. I mean... what dumb government would do something like that? Oh wait........

I just ride mine around the neighborhood streets here in the Diston area. Get in about ten miles a day. Of course, the Pinellas trail is only a few miles from my house. That's a great ride. And, Paul, I can't begin to tell you how many people, myself included, have raved about how much their TRIKKE ...

It's been a few years since I saw you, but I suspect you aren't proportioned quite the same anymore (are any of us?) I won't push the diet stuff, but I WILL suggest something that has helped my 64 year old knees get back to feeling like they were only thirty again. I have very little problems gettin...

Straps tend to hum while you are driving, it drives me nuts. Ropes do not make much noise.

If you give each of your straps a few twists, that will take care of the humming, buzzing, and slapping.

Not all that true, Norm. When I was much, much, younger the tialpipe rusted off my $100 pickup truck just behind the muffler. I figured it wasn't really excessively hot there so I replaced it with a piece of pvc pipe. A valuable suggestion... Don't try it, you won't like it. Let's just say I was luc...

If you're like most of the guys on this forum, you have money to burn, you will immediately dismiss this idea, and go out and buy one of the $30 to $120 stern light posts at Boater's World. But, if not then this for you and the other cheap guys out there. This cost me a shade over $7 each. I bought ...

I don’t know if any of the people chose to build the cart in the plans I sent them. But if you did, I have discovered a weakness in the design. I dropped my cart from about four feet onto dirt, and both T’s that join the left side to the right side snapped off where the holes for the pins were d...

I use both. The rachet type is my favorite, and no problem if you "snug" it, not "clamp it down" like you're securing for a Class III hurricane.

The cam type tends to lossen a little on longer trips. This concerns me a little, so I always throw a hitch in the loose ends.

Well, all the Barbie type have been snatched up. What I have left are mostly lawn mower type.

Still got quite a few, Momo.
