I have taken bad waves over the back in the rips!! Just pull out the old hand pump, works every time!! Just a few weeks ago I hit a rock and the whole boat listed to one side and all almost went over board!! Just a little water and did not bother with trying to get it out. I have since repaired all damage and repainted the whole bottom. Still NO pumps in the boat! |

Re: White Navigation stern light
I use the removable 24" pole light. The CG has boarded me twice...looking for illegals in the cuddy. First time I kept my mouth shut and let'm do their job. Second time I was a lil'POed...(same CG crew) I told'm if they came across any elsewhere I'd like to buy two for yardwork. They didn't laugh. :-[

Re: White Navigation stern light
The smaller your boat, the bigger your bilge pump. I run a Rule 1500.

SEE THAT'S WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND: DOWN HERE YOU SEE THESE SPEED BOATS WITH THREE 300 HP ON THEM, THAT ARE SCREAMING OUTLOUD DRUGS OR ILLEGALS, AND THEY DON'T GET SEARCHED NOR STOPPED. THERE YOU ARE IN AN OLD, SMALL (NO OFFENSE INTENDED) 20 FOOTER IN CENTRAL FLA AND THE SAME CREW STOPED YOU TWICE LOOKING FOR ILLEGALS, GO FIGURE!!!!! |
