I’ve fished in all three of that generation and owned (a 2220) Blazer for 14 years. The Triton is the one to get. At that time, I would dare say that Triton was likely at the top of the bay boat game. The Blazer will rattle your teeth out and be wet at the slightest chop- JUST like a...

How would a nearly million pound recreational fishery be “beat up” when the season opened 3 days ago- on a Monday. C’mon man. Just say you’re going snapper fishing on Friday and wanna know what block to go to. ...
Nope- we only hire super attractive, very intelligent ladies and it makes for a fabulous work environment ...

I think the part that we mere mortals don’t understand is that there is so much money to be made in illicit activities, that normal hurdles are overcome quite easily. ...

re: Can this 747 take off?

Thank you. A plane stationary, no matter if the hypothetical treadmill was going the speed of light, can’t take off because of Bernoulli's law. It clearly says the treadmill goes as fast as the wheels. So no matter how much throttle the pilot applies, the plane stays stationary. And to ...

Your machinist should know what to do- I didn’t look, but you’re probably looking at a thicker head gasket at a minimum- those should be readily available for that engine. I’m presuming you brought the head assembled? Really, you want him to work the head over and magnaflux it. It dr...

[quote]99% of diesel heads are a flat deck and has no combustion chamber. If you flaten a flat surface it's not going to raise compression.[/quote] That was a perfect way to say it- and a 4045T head is no different. What he really needs to be worried about is if the valve seats need to be rewor...

You could turn it up decked or not. That 4045T has a Stanadyne rotary pump on it- bring it to an injection shop and tell them to pour the coals to it. The top end of the engine isn’t your worry- you’re not making a pulling engine with 60 pounds of boost that will pop the head off. You need...

Sub Jr. wants a Pro Drive, Go Devil, Gator Tail, Mud Buddy boat. He’s a good kid (as far as I know) or really f’ing sneaky, works, has good grades so I gave him a budget to add onto some money he already saved to get something decent. My version of this was to get a fiberglass mudboat with...

That’s it- Thanks CP3. Sorry if I confused anyone. There’s a thread on the Contender FB Group- about the Lined Out accident. Not much more info than what’s already been published in the news....

For every bad story that comes out, there are many other good ones. I have bought 4 or 5 different vehicles from Ralph Sellers. Marty Mitchell that runs the Hyundai store next door to the Ram one sold me my first crane service truck when I went into business for myself. He has always...
