    Censorship

    I am not sure either, I would never post anything Political to this site as it is for boats not politicians! But to censor someone when there is no clear cut rule posted well that's not right either. Should have asked they remove (might have) and asked to keep everything just about boats like...

    Censorship

    Sorry but you are mistaken about the rules, they are clearly posted at the bottom of the page and do not - I repeat DO NOT state anything about what they are trying to push upon us! Please read InSaneFisherMan' post where he posted the rules for everyone who can't seem to locate them on the site!

    1997 Evinrude 115 misfiring

An intake port of some kind (cylinder wall port, reed valve or rotary disc valve) opens, allowing air to rush into the crankcase through a carburetor. When a 2...

    BRP sells marine division

    Go to this site:https://www.whiterivermg.com/ see the industries they are in, I would think if they cheapen their boats them probably everything they make is cheaply made, makes sense I guess. I know for a fact that Mako and Tracker Boats are made cheap!

    BRP sells marine division

    Their Mako line has gone from bad to worse and the hulls are delaminating on their owners, they also make Tracker Boats and those have issues with sprayed in foam that sucks up water, from where I sit the quality of boats has gotten worse along with the price increases way too high! Not sure...

    You are correct with your thoughts; prices may be down but from the jacked up prices, that's how companies discuss their savings to us, all BS if you ask me!

    Odd tools.

    I still use my old hand saws every day in my shop, the Disston brings back memories; had my draw knife stolen from my Dad's shed when we were building some log furniture, still searching for an old one as they were built sturdy, hang onto that thing!

    Social Security Cost of Living Increase!?

    They can wrap inflation up in many ways, and just because it may be legislated doesn't mean they provide accurate data or skew those figures - the old saying figures don't lie but liar's figure, I pulled this inflation data from some online inflation calculator. Inflation can have a dramatic...

    Social Security Cost of Living Increase!?

    If you got your letter as I did, look at the increase for the part '"B" coverage premium - it went up to the exact amount of the 2.5% COLA increase so you really get no extra money in your check each month! The Consumer Price Index showed prices increased 3.2 percent between February 2023 and...

    My neighbors 1962 T-bird

    Being an old, retired Fire Rescue guy I saw a lot of times where even Fire Trucks slid on the ice when we stopped and had the vehicles air brakes engaged; funny thing about ice as it doesn't take much to make any vehicle slip! Was a witness to this type of event many, many times over 30+ years...
