RE: Talk about new ideas and going "out of the box"

RE: New Gas Hydro

If it is a China boat--please stay away from it. There could be a lot of lead in the paint, which would contaminate the fish you eat, and kill all the frogs that the water birds eat. But of course,...

RE: Cable drive question

Thanks for the info. If I remember right, you buy the square end cable, and cut it to the length you need? I guess I am going to have to buy a small cut off wheel saw. Then, I imagine, you have...
