What a craftsman he was. |

Won't actually have it until May. Have to go back to the Boat Show on their dime to sign the paperwork around 1100 hrs. Since I'm somewhat limited by our narrow driveway, the new boat is only a foot longer and a few inches wider. Since it's made of fiberglass, it's about 50 per cent heavier. In order to not get bitten by our seventy cent dollar, I opted for a brand new 2015 model. Since I'll be doing my deep water sailing on a 39 foot sailboat this summer the idea was to not spend too much money to get something the wife will want to go out on on fine days. There were two versions of the same boat. The outboard model and a MerCruiser 3.0 I/O model with a big extended swim platform to make it easier for us and the dog to re-board. It's a compromise as usual. Could have gotten a bare bones more sea worthy boat for a bit more, but the wife wouldn't hear of it. It's a Bayliner 175BR. Yeah, I know...they had their problems with quality a few years back but the salesman convinced me that they are reasonably solid now and with the light useage and short season up here, it should last me the rest of my boating career. Did you expect the salesman to convince you of anything else? I would never own an I/O for sal****er use on any boat. A local BJs wholesale club was selling the exact same model through a local boat dealer last year for $17995. That's probably $30,000 canadian. That's a lot of cash to pay for something Harry thinks very little of. |

Ruger and third party suppliers can provide a variety of stocks for the Mini-14 and most other "popular" rifles, including stocks that look identical to what the factory supplies. No question that a well-done wood stock is "prettier" than the black "plastic" one on my Mini-14. Running out of cash to finance your gun fetish? |

FlatulentJim farts...
A local BJs wholesale club was selling the exact same model through a local boat dealer last year for $17995. That's probably $30,000 canadian. That's a lot of cash to pay for something Harry thinks very little of." Guess I got a good deal then. On the sales sticker the dealer estimated that 2016 models in Canadian would be around $30k. Mine is a left over 2015 ordered before our loonie really nose dived. Same old motor for the time being although there are plans to retire the 3.0 in favour of a 4.3 I believe. That sounds like a big engine for a 17.5 foot open boat. |
