colonycove , post #21, thanks I could not agree with you more, to many snobs on the water and looks like quite a few here aswell, I wonder if they are as opinionated down on the dock.

to many snobs out there, they do not like that you could buy a nicer, better equiped boat for less than they paid, easier to critisise.[I have never owned a Bayliner]

I cannot understand why the same people keep argueing about the same stuff on here ove and over and over.A TRUE TRAWLER IS A COMMERCIAL FISHING BOAT .What those of you on here are calling trawlers are jusr displacement hull pleasure boats no matter what size they are.Now move on.:)

when I worked for Ford as a diesel tech we had th oppertunity to talk to a Navstar engine designer and his comment on ATF in the fuel was an absolute NO, if you really want to use something use an additive reccommendedby the manufacture or as a last resort 2 cycle oil at least thats intended to...

Land rovers were built of aluminum because they got it cheap from the British Goverment from war surplus, Range Rovers were built from Aluminum because that is what they used to build a cheap mockup body to cover the running gear and driver on the prototypes and they even kept the same boxy...

I am afraid the boys in red serge have shoot their own image badly enough that a mouse might not be of help them.:hide:

Marin re post #23 at one time the BIG three prefered to make their top of the line luxury models in Canada because of a higher build quality, not to sure if that still stands.My 2009 GMC is Mexican assembled and seems just fine, although the parts come from the same assy line the USA and...

RTF , I agree but now even our food is being imported, Im not talking North or South American but offshore and they do not list 1/2 the ingredients.

I posted on another thread regarding the betterof 2 imported outboards to buy.My comment was and remains why not consider domestic build, quality of prouct is as good and technology is equal and you would be supporting the home market .Am I alone in this thought, I try to avoid buying import...

My original post has been censored so I will try again in a more kindly manor. Why not consider a Domestic built product, they are every bit as good in technology and build quality as the imported product and will help to support our ailing economy.There I hope that does not upset anyone this time.

Skipperdude, not many people are either as skilled as you or as gutsy as you.I do not know many people who could do the repairs on their boats you have done.

My Dad called a prop a wheel when he was in the Navy and that was over 60 years ago.:)
