Adam you seem to have received all of the info already We run our 7 RIBs with hustler props so that we can easily change the defective parts As a new outer part costs the same as having 1 blade repaired and the inner about the same as rebushing the costs are equivalant without the wait for a repair If I had seen this earlier I am sure we have some in stock that would have got you out at the weekend, I think that they are 17" pitch We get them from Prop Rev so I would be surprised if they do not stock the correct one Charlie

A Polish man moved to Ireland and married a Cork girl. Although his English was Far from perfect, they got along very well Until one day he rushed in a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce For him. The lawyer said getting a divorce would Depend on the circumstances, and asked him The following questions: Have you any grounds? Yes, an acre and half and nice little home. No, I mean what is the foundation of this case? It made of concrete. I don't think you understand. Does either of you have a real grudge? No, we have carport, and not need one. I mean, how are your relations? All my relations still in Poland. Is there infidelity in your marriage? We have hi-fidelity stereo and good DVD player. Does your wife beat you up? No, Im always up before her. Is your wife a nagger? No, she white. Why do you want this divorce? She going to kill me. What makes you think that? I got proof. What kind of proof? She is going to poison me. She buys a bottle at pharmacy and put on Shelf in bathroom. I can read, and it say: "Polish Remover."

Nice one Adam she looks the business What toys are you fitting, Garmin I presume I thought that although you had stopped looking a new boat would soon arrive Charlie
-
No way to treat your old boat Mike I did read Pride of ??? on the hull. As for the fireman blowing himself up, what an idiot. I do not have sound on this PC I may check later for the comentary. Charlie

Well my last boat [Duver 23] was exactly 7mtrs long and what it lacked was beam and speed. Building as a stern drive instead of shaft drive was an option, it was basically the same boat without the keel molding. they had two moulds so both were well built and with the stiff ringdeck were a very solid boat. The sterndrive fitted with 140 hp was capable of over 30knots so the speed issue would be sorted. As a shaft drive driven by 60 hp she was very economic but did not like the waves on her quarters, with more speed and less keel that problem may also have been solved However she still only had just over 7ft on the beam so was a bit crowded in the cockpit when fishing with two growing lads. No boat will be perfect, but there are some out there that fit the size mentioned and maybe as Duncan says it may be better to list them and then run a poll I am sure Tom would give you his thoughts on Illusion which also fits the size and is a shallow V on a sterndrive, as would Gary for Prodigy and Tony for Two Ways Although I have been on many offshores, I will not know exactly how well my Pro Charter 30 compares with others untill the build is complete and we get some hours in at Sea. I hope that the equipment selected and layout will be as good afloat as it looks in the Garden, The 10ft plus beam certainly makes her seem roomy As Duncan also said the new engine may be a diesel but its not a simple unit and squeezes every HP it can out of the block like an outboard. So do not right off running big modern outboards becaiuse they are complex. Perhaps Tony is a good one to talk on that subject as he has changed "Two Ways" from a large outboard to a modern stern drive in the past year Charlie

What a shame 1 less Commercial Bass fisherman I hope that they manage to get the conservation issue across correctly I wonder if someone could record it, if it is good from our angle our members may wish to see it Charlie
-
Mike I think you may be reading that wrong I think Duncan was on Lager or Soda and not Red Diesel 800hp may sip a little more than even Fred can consume while lubricating his thirst Charlie

Ouch talk youself out of that one Charlie

Congratulations TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1920's 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's !! First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking . As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat. We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because... WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING! We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem . We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents . We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, Made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! We had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good. and while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were. Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?! Charlie Fast aproaching 50 but still alive after surviving most of the above
