People Season Greetings! Long time no see! I had my rubber duck on the upper deck. For the admiral and me it was a nightmare to lift it up as we both are pushing 60. Therefore, I went to the drawing board and designed/built the one on the pictures. The boat is 12' with a 25 HP Yamaha. Boat...

Hello Folks Like many here, lately I was a victim of sarcastic cheap comments over a thread. Some of them were really abusive and rather offensive. I prefer to talk about this than simply leave the forum where I have been for so much time and where I have made so many friends. Therefore...

Hi BruceK People only read what and how they want to read. That's why there are so many interpretations for the same texts in the Bible. Maybe I put it wrongly but, what I really meant, was that my engine runs smoother and with a lot less effort due to the lost of friction. About the speed, and...
