If you are courageous, determined, have many skills, or are just plain foolish, here is a must-have project: A very old Monk 40' in outwardly seemingly complete condition near Vancouver BC. He wants a thousand (Canadian = one bag of wampum, two Hudson's Bay point blankets and a pemican cake)...

Wealthy suburbanites move out of the suburbs to enjoy a rural, in this case a riparian lifestyle. Just like the acreage buyers who try to stop their neighbours farming on land that has been farmed for generations, these river property buyers want to stop the traditional users of the rivers from...

Anyone considering this boat should be aware that the trailer lacks any brakes, whatsoever. Sellers seem open, honest, good people, but this is something that needs to be remediated.

Seriously, there is no mystery. Many people who can afford to run a boat like that can also afford to buy one new. The result is that there is a constant oversupply of large, expensive, boats on the market. Personally I am in the neither/nor majority of the population, and the thought of the...

I zoomed in on the picture of the white phone by the helm. I see it is a direct line to a mechanic.

I have PM'd you about your Albin.

Syjos: I would not disagree with anything you say, except when you dismiss the SBA advisors out of hand. Remember that some of them are people exactly like you. A person has to take a close second and third look at any advice. We did that for our first clinic: I went to my bank to enquire...

Settled, Helena it is. My spies will be waiting.:):):):)

I was being a bit ironic. If your idea is something that needs significant capital, has involved logistics, and so will take some weeks or months of preparation, then it is very unlikely that anyone will casually steal it from you. Wise not to blab it out on a public forum, but I feel sure...

So where will you find a financial advisor that you will trust not to steal your idea? Retired independent business people who have been there and done that are what you need, and you will have to trust one with your idea. Your local SBA is where to find him or her. A CPA will indeed be...

Ideally something very like an Albin 25 or Independent Shipwrights IS25. I don't want anything fancy or post Y2K. If you have air conditioning, central vacuum, or a dishwasher, I am happy for you, but that is not what I want. The boat I want will not have more than 100hp and will not use...

Did too. Just they couldn't be seen for the blue smoke.

A course, them engineers ain't zackly philologists, no how. It really comes down to the English Language. Which, unless I am wrong, is the language of the English people. By a lucky chance one of us a least IS English. That, by a happy coincidence, would .... be Me. Now, if we are...

Lexicographical expansion I cannot help chiming in, to support you. Motor and engine are often used interchangeably in english, but their respective origins are instructive: motor is anything providing motive power, including arms, legs, wings and fins, or oars or petrol engines or...
