I would love to spend 60 minutes on a park overlooking the ocean, not talking with, but listening, to God. I charter to Him quite regularly. So , I would love to listen to his problems for a change. A few years ago, my wife and I were holidaying in Lima, Peru. Our flights home got screwed up at...

It will not matter how, or how often the dice are rolled, there will never be an end to the argument about stink potters vs raggers or the reverse. There will always be Jerks throwing their opinions around one way or another. Did your mommy's not teach you to play nice in the sand box.

A 6 yr old could easily bounce right off the boat. I would call the pogo stick a very dangerous idea.

Perkins 6-354 vs 4-236 Thank you to all who replied. "Question Answered" And Yes,the questions were hypothetical. Hypothetical boat 44' x 14' steel, approximately 27 ton. But, just say for instance, that for various reasons, among which one being...

You don't "Need" a bow thruster when you have Twins. All you need is some guidance from an experienced skipper, and lots of "Practice". You'll be fine.

mig welding a steel hull Thanks for the replies. You have set my mind at ease. I shall forge ahead and take the advice of the nay - sayers with a grain of sea salt.

What would be the general consensus on using a mig welder when welding up a steel hull. I have herd different theories on the idea and would like those who have built with mig to chime in. Some say the weld is too porous. Is this true, or is this the result of inexperienced welding technics?
