It may be a regional thing or something of a bot that hacked your internet searches. I get spam but often in the form of political and real estate, my two big hobbies outside of boating. Oddly enough I don't get any boating spam.

I've read that some of the battery back up systems (the smaller ones) will recharge from a wall outlet in 1.2 hours or so. All I need is a small 2,500 watt inverter and run it to charge the batteries. Again, per the battery makers they can run the fridge for about 24 hours. Charging a laptop or...

I like this set up, expensive, but I like it! I like others members have mentioned as well, I just don't have the need for that much power.

As I mention in the other post/response I like the idea of a NG generator. The propane option is a nice one too as long as your tank isn't low when the storm hits. That 12K watt generator must drink some fuel, but you'll live in comfort for sure.

A fridge doesn't run around the clock. It kicks on, runs for 10-15 minutes and shuts down until the temp goes up, much like the heater in your house. I saw a chart and a typical fridge runs about 20 minutes an hour. So that 15K number which is high imo gets cut to 5k straight away. No way I'd...

If I ever move to Florida, I want a home with natural gas, so I can run a generator without ever worrying.

This last hurricane got me thinking, a very dangerous thing. Where I live, I'm very fortunate to never have lost power more than 24 hours and we rarely loss power at all. But there are millions that routinely lose power for days on end. In a widespread black out it's even hard getting gas to...

That's a very nice little package, it shows you took good care of her. I have no doubt you'll get your asking price.

Just curious, where in NJ are you boating? DO you leave the boat in the water overnight? If so do you have a bilge pump. Holes rotted into the hull of a boat does not sit well with me. If they were popper rivets I'd feel better about a repair.

Again you manage to overlook the fact that I said at least twice now, "You should have gotten it in writing." That is common place in my world, as it is in most of the civilized world I might add. I spoke of revenge as a last case option, but I can see reading comprehension isn't in your wheel...

Being you don't say which part of my post you're asking question of, I'll have to respond as if you questioned both parts. Getting something in writing gives you a legal outlet. But I guess you didn't think of that. It is clearly stated in my answer that doing a few things as revenge is getting...

I may be WAY wrong, but a tool used on a horse's huff?

So I take it you had nothing in writing? If you want to get dirty, go cut down his trees, if he has a well on his property turn the pump on and let it flood the field. There's a host of things you can do to get even, but you made a deal with the devil and now you're surprised?

Looking at the pic, I'd say the engine has to be raised and trimmed out. Play around with it and dial it in.

I'd have to park it under a tree, drop a line around the engine and adjust it accordingly. If the budget is tight or you're just determined to DIY.

Find a sympathetic auto body shop and ask for some advice.

Could you not just put a small hydraulic jack under the skeg and raise her that way? Taking caution that the engine doesn't fall over of course.

Sad isn't it.

There's a couple of things to point out. If you do damage or cause injury with your wake, you are legally responsible. You could easily swamp or capsize a small boat with larger boats wake. Another problem is, if a passing boat is fully up on plane, they may be throwing a 1-2' wake, if they slow...

In my opinion you are definitely too low. Either add a jack plat or bolt some ply wood on the back to raise it to the right height.
