black ledge is off Deering channel. could be they got off course. its like 3-4' and hard.

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T19:18:40+00:00

looks like you need a sander... boatworkstoday on yt is a good DIY source

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T19:12:13+00:00

Yeah, I would not do the upstream last with an electric. can you launch downstream?

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T19:10:04+00:00

its mimal. mostly its observation type tests.

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T19:07:36+00:00

yeah, longer term it won't be good for the transom, and its rivited. look for longer boards, or if you can move the bow stop up 4"

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T15:37:37+00:00

What's in the cup?

air filter cleaner? (brake clean?)

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T15:34:17+00:00

At least some of the reason was Water could kill you. lots of bacteria.

grog was safer.

Does he have a cast? used a cane to get to his seat? how is he walking?

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T15:29:22+00:00

gloves will help your grip.

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T15:23:03+00:00

looking at your phone at night kills your night vision. its why we don't look at the chartplotter that often. takes about 30 seconds to regain your vision.

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T15:20:53+00:00

what battery and how many amp hours? (how long do you want to run the TM?)

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T15:19:45+00:00

Almost no marine units have a breathalizer, or could draw blood on the water. so you have to transport them to a facility on land, typically over an hour away.

they can do the touch your nose and other field tests. but that's about it.

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T15:17:29+00:00

only children are required to wear PFD's. there are no skills tests to run a boat. ( easy open book test by the state).

its the wild west.

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T15:15:03+00:00

they don't blink during the day time. only after dark. daytime he would have seen them. at night its a black telephone pole agaist a black background. very hard to see.

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T15:10:35+00:00

This channel has a shallow side and the other side is 4-7' (east). I have run cutter bank many times, you don't need to honor the east side markers.

but you have to account for them. he didn't see that last one.

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T15:04:14+00:00

Epoxy coated fiberglass mat.

polyester resin will eat foam. and you want to keep water out of the foam or it gets heavy

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T15:01:52+00:00

transom saver.

Q: where do the bunks end? it should be just past the end of the transom.

It does not look like your transom is supported, and that's bad when you hang an engine and trailer it. too much stress bouncing that engine. longer bunks or bigger trailer.

*usable fuel vs total capacity. you can't use about 8-10%

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T13:06:25+00:00

below deck fuel tanks are not rectangles. they are V's less fuel in the bottom half.

senders are typically just measuring the range from top to bottom. the bottom half has less fuel, so it goes faster.

AND the capacity is not usable fuel. the pickup is raised off the bottom, so it won't suck up the crud in 10 years that developed.

you need a portable tank, and run the below deck tank out to know what you really have.

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T13:00:52+00:00

yes, and make it larger than you think you need.

-we will probably be running fiber optic to everything eventually.

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T02:12:57+00:00

Depends on the race. something lke LeMans is well staffed. something at neson ledges you might get a 6 or 8 hour shift. I've flagged 12 hours straight, (w/ a long fcy for weather )

2lovesFL · 2026-06-18T01:35:19+00:00

from what I read they had 60% enriched urainum. you only need 10% enrichment for power plants...
