Re: Propeller Painting Input
I paint my rudders but not my props. I do not get enough hours on the boat overall and end up with little bitty barnacles. I looked into propspeed this past fall and it was SERIOUS money. Even the yard didn’t think it was worth it.. So, I applied nothing. Maybe next year I’ll remember I have some of...

Rick,
Polycarbonate is awesome. You do need to be careful cleaning it as it scratches more easily. But its super clear and I love mine!

Twin 250 Cummins, forward windows, Ns really, really clean. Www.BSBW.com. Or his office # is:401-847-0321 and his wife Nancy may answer the phone. Please ...

Carl, they are struggling for sure. I've been favoring Jamestown distributors big time followed by Amazon believe it or not. But even the latter can be spotty... I ordered some things to be delivered to CT, and no ship for over a week. I cancelled and reordered to send to MA and had them next day.

Re: 12 inch Raymarine Axiom vs Garmin 8612
Tony, fact. And the stuff is completely throw away. And it breaks. Easily. I kiss my radar at least once a year. But the FLIR is a close second. First one was replaced under warranty at year 2, and just died again. On to my second one. Its that useful. But goddamn... You are right about mortgages.
