    New NRA Ads

    I have been reading the Letters sent out by the "Community Organizer's" campaign threatening to sue or have the licenses revoked for any stations that carry the new National Rifle Asc. Ad detailing his long history of wanting to ban guns. Is this from the same Party that believes that...

    Pmax Issues

    I have two problems with my high time '98 PMAX 225 SS. The poppets are sticking at idle-only zones and causing it to overheat until I rev it a little more and pop the poppets. How hard are they to change? The pump is having to get up to 28 PSI to open them. Problem # 2: My alarm box is...

    Georgia is Backwards!

    I just posted this on S&F and thought I would post it here. We launched at Scott's Landing on the Florida side of the St Mary's River. While I was waiting for some friends I talked for 20 minutes to a really nice Florida Wildlife Marine Patrolman. I told him we were going on the 80+ mile...

    Tach is reseting

    Spent several hours "supporting the Arabs" on the Suwannee and had time to watch my tachs intermittant operation. Once the engine heated up, the tach would jump up/down below 3000 RPM. Above 3000 RPM it would work fine. I know my Pmax has a 60 amp 2-stage charging system and it seem like maybe I...

    Ya'll Enjoy

    To tell ya'll the truth, I did not realize the rally was in Savannah this year or Susan and I might have made some different arrangements for our annual June vacation. As it is we are set up to visit the "Zoo" [left coast, San Diego/LA] and then go white water rafting on the Colorado and some...

    Cool tool or neat toy?

    I have always wanted a COLOR borescope, but was not willing to spend thousands for one. While at WW Grainger recently, I spotted a neat tool called a SEESNAKE by Ridge Tool Company. It is a Handheld Color Monitor attached to a 3' flexible snake ending with a tiny color camera/LED lighting. I was...

    Ultimate Christmas Present

    After giving me the Petty Nascar driving school, a jet boat ride in Niagara falls, my Wife and kids finally gave me the Ultimate... An hour of high performance aerobatic flight instruction at Atlanta Ga. I have quite a few hours of Aerobatics already but never in in a full-inverted [dry-sump]...

    Broken Cook Marine jack plate

    Jack Barsh called to tell me that my Cook Marine hydraulic jack plate was split/seperated where it bolts to the transom. It could not be seen before since I had boxed it with aluminum and filled with flotation. I need a contract with Cook and Mercury to test their products...... JR

    Trailer questions

    Now that I am going to have a "Pristine" gel coat on my hull again, I was wondering if there were any terrrific ideas about what to do with my trailer bunks. I have an Ameritrail aluminum trailer with 4x8 wood bunks carpeted over. Since I launch in the mud[at the rivers] and sand [at the beach]...

    How to make a beat-up Allison look like a new Allison

    The easy answer is: Take it to Jack Barsh. I just stopped by to look at my Grandsport and It already looks almost as good as when it left the showroom. It is amazing what Hard work + Knowledge can do. Watching him doing lay-up in the Hull for his new boat is deceptive too. He makes it look...

    Allison Covers and windshields

    Maybe it is just me but, I have had terrible luck with the Allison factory covers and the GSE windshields. I have broken two windshields [spearing waves] and had two crack due to crazing at the bends in the plastic [which all of them have done]. My new one from last year looks like a 15 year...

    Took a tour of the bushes

    We [my wife and I] were leaving from a beach on Black Creek yesterday behind four of our PWCs. I punched it up to about 90 before backing off to enter a sharp turn I have taken my times before. We entered the turn and suddenly the hull started to hook. We are so used to the onset of it my Wife...

    How many have had GPS errors?

    I got out of Church Late and decided to try a speed run anyway since the wind was dead calm and all the boats were coming in at the ramp. I left the ramp after dark and found my running lights were not working [they seldom do until I wiggle the bulbs]. Since it was a perfectly clear night and I...

    Drive shaft corrosion

    A year ago I had to replace my driveshaft on my 15" mid/sportmaster due to corrosion eating away at the sealing surface to the top Gearcase seal. I just put my boat in for it's "Annual" and the new driveshaft is looking worse than the 5 year old one that it replaced. We are going to paint the...

    New life jacket

    I am going to buy a new Children's Life jacket and I am agonizing over a very important decision. Try as I can, I just can't decide what color it needs to be, so I thought I would put it to a Poll. The magnificent choices are: Chartreuse with slight hues and trimmed highlites or.... "Dogmess"...

    Seeing whats on "Top"

    Since I bought a Brucato ACU late last Summer, I not only gained a good amount of extra HP but I also got a way to adjust my fuel [a/f]. This led to the temptation to the temptation to "dinker" with my "Timex reliable" Pmax. I have finally given in to the temptation for a top end run to...

    Lock-bumping will open all of your locks

    This is amazing guys, the locks on your house and vehicles are useless. I am going to switch to a combo lock since it takes the JSO 45 minutes to finish their donut after my alarm goes off..........These keys are for sale all over the internet, unless you want to make your own...
