Boat
 

My new old boat.

Chillin like a villain!

Underway.

Sorry about the picture quality cheap phone.

A good-time nonetheless!

That's Captain fargon, if you please.

I'm a-thinkin' it might be 1st Mate Fargon, and Capt Keryx...If'n he's smert.;)

Looks like a floating den of iniquity. :blunt:

It is.

What size motor?

Now you're getting personal.

50HP Mercury 2 stroke. she will do about 15 MPH.
The boat is a 2004 Cove Explorer, 20ft over all.

Niiice.

The boat is a 2004 Crest Explorer, 20ft over all. I fucked up the first time and said cove. I'm sorry if I confused any of you.
It clearly says Crest on the front gate, I had a brain fart.

No problem the picture tells the story.
15 mph is fast enough, and faster it burns your smoke too fast.
Are they hollow or foam filled?

They are hollow, there are four chambers in each pontoon. The metal in the pontoons is 1/8" thick.

By digitally enhancing the picture, there is a zit on his nose. Just another why masks are necessary.

Huh?!

Sunday afternoon on the river. where I had an expensive lesson on Wing Dams in the back channels. Stay tuned for further updates.

Oh dear, you can get in plenty of trouble at less than 15 mph. :facepalm:

The majority of the damage was done at less than 5 mph. We made it home Okay but the prop is toast, took about a 1/4 inch off the blades.

Oof. Sorry man.

Could be worse, you didn't have to swim.

B.O.A.T.

What is the definition / purpose of a wing dam?

A boat is a hole in the water where the money goes. -Stan Rogers

What kind of "navigation channel" is four feet deep and nine feet wide?

One on the Mississippi river...:unsure:

Oh, and:

Couldn't figure that one out. Aren't dams exactly what you don't want when you're trying to navigate? :unsure:

The navigation channel is the area of waterway beyond the ends of the wing dams that you want to navigate (set your direction) through so you don't run into them.

There the navigation channels are the locks.

Locks are a hindrance to navigation... although better than a portage.

That's why the things being discussed are called navigation channels.

ETA: A navigation channel on land could be the path between two minefields. Troop movements to the other side would be channeled onto that path.

I got an email from the Wisconsin DNR saying that the Boat that we just bought has a lien against it. And the good news just keeps on coming. The dealer says that they will take care of it, but I don't trust them.

Oh boy...

Tell the person with the lein they have to buy a new prop. ;)

Don't lean on the boat.

That really shoulda been "Oh, buoy..."

Props, yo!

The Boat has a new Prop. I fixed it all by myself.

Heh...

Not that kind of prop, yo.

But no less a Mad Prop.

Good, and whatever else Captain K tells you to do. ;)

Are there any Lawyers in the house, I'm afraid I might need one. I just looked online for an answer to the lien on my boat. It seems that it's all on me to clear it. The state has no law preventing a dealership from selling a boat with a bad title. We called Holman Marine Monday and told them about the bad title and the lien, the salesman said that they will take care of it. But I don't believe them.

Well, give 'em a minute, they might come through. It behooves them to make good for the sake of their reputation.

But, if they don't, sue the pants off 'em.

Ask them to estimate how much time they need to resolve the issue. If they won't give you a time frame; or, if they don't come through as they said they would, before hiring a lawyer you can try filing a complaint here:

Holman Marine got the release of lien from the credit union this morning, and everything is golden. Now the dnr can register my boat, and i can take it out again. We are going out tomorrow morning for the day.

:cheerldr:

Ahoy!

Are you presuming or is that a directive from the Captain?
You got a new prop then, good. Have fun... what's that I hear?

Sweet!

Thats right Bruce 2Cycle Smoke on the water.

it started raining, so no boat ride today.

you don't have to go topless, do you?

No but a Bimini top has no sides.

Wear a bathing suit.

Run this by Captain K as a means of extending the season. Actually it could be an ice fishing shack in the winter.

Watch out for the dirty birds...
