    Starlink Mini

    You go over that 50GB in a month and it's 1$ per GB overage fee per billing cycle. The Mini may be a good solution if you already have a residential account, and need an extra connection somewhere else - and it does have lower power draw than the regular antennas. Might be a good for on-board...

    Hi Folks! It's Foggy here...

    <Laughing> Yup. We've reached the same conclusion. You can only polish the poop so much. New hull it is. At first glance it seemed like starting with an already built hull might be a shortcut - but it's not, really. You have to buy the un-insurable project boat for more than salvage...

    Hi Folks! It's Foggy here...

    New member Foggy here, in between boats. I'm one of those ding-dongs that likes building and fixing boats - that's the best part for me. We're on a farm (with space and resources to work on larger projects) between Olympia and Columbia River. We sort of have a choice which direction to go...
