I open the rear door slowly, stick out my head, and there flopping around is a nice 15 pound (estimated) silver. The first thought was "here's dinner!", so was the second thought. But then, in a little voice said "she needs to get on up the river and make babies, you can catch one fair and square". Awwwwwww.

The tax rate is based on the AMOS Marine Blue Book low estimated trade-in value at the rate of $0.01 per $100.00. They obviously realize revenues from boaters spending far exceed the tax revenues. Perhaps that's the place to be on January 1.

I'm the engineer/estimator for a new commercial construction company here in Ortona. We do mostly flood control structures for the South Florida Water Management District. But I told the boss that I need the summer off for crusing, so don't worry that I may be swallowing the anchor!

150 hrs We will be in the Oriental, NC area for 4-6 weeks after the close, then to the Chesapeake for Aug and Sept Florida & Bahamas, Nov - Mar Then start The Great Loop in April 06 estimated Cat run time, 300 - 500 hours per year Questions: 1- What hours do you change the oil (Mains & Gen.) 2- What is the suggested spare parts inventory for the Cats & Gen 3

I will be adding fuel flow meters soon so I can give more accurate data instead of estimating. I haven't looked up the fuel curve on my engines since we went to the smaller injectors but that helped substantially, with no loss of rpm at the top and a much cleaner burn.

If anything, use it where you can, and estimate the rest. Keith _____ "People waste time, effort and money on all kinds of things that don't make sense, when by owning a boat one can consolidate and waste them all on one thing." - Mike Hughes ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter B.

I estimate that my system will turn over my tank 3 or 4 times in a 12 hour cycle. The other thing I did was to install a drain cock at the bottom of the tank so I could sample the fuel there. This gives me an opportunity to asses how much water is present ( a throwback to my private pilot days). Regards, Randy Pickelmann MORNING STAR

This does not include a properly installed skrink wrap over which I do not have an estimate on. The other option would be a blue/silver poly or canvas cover (truck supply) with a proprietary or owner-built frame - a one-time rather than yearly expense. I realize outdoor storage (especially in Michigan) is not as ideal as indoor.

I ripped a page out of a recent magazine (I think it was "Boating") which has the following paragraph: "Holding tank math: It's been estimated that the average adult produces 0.7 gallons of waste per day in five flushes. That's 0.14 gallons per flush. I'm thankful that my efficient VacuFlush head only adds 0.2 gallons to this.
