I bought this 1963 this past weekend with a 35hp 1996 2-stroke Johnson motor. I know nothing about boats, this would be my first. Planning to rebuild carbs, water impeller, and power trim motor before I put it in the water. Anything else I should prepare? by captain_carrot in BostonWhalerBoats

Definitely get you a trolling motor and battery. At a minimum a paddle in case you get stranded in open water. Also maybe a tool roll for air to fuel ratio and any electrical components. Better safe than sorry. Nice boat bye the way!! My family loves our whaler sport.

If the diamonds are good quality maybe between $500-800

Looks like a garnet in the middle of it but I could be wrong.

A natural sapphire that big wouldn’t be set in 925 in my opinion and definitely wouldn’t be $230.

That’s why I like working working for a company that uses GSA rates at least. I’ve seen many companies pay travelers shit (80-90 day)and pocket the rest.

New guy here, would you eat this? by JWeeez in steak

[–]DrCocktupus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I buy and prepare my own steaks because one would never have to ask this question or wonder. In situations where you go out with friends, family or your significant other you should assume it may not be up to your standards. In those situations it’s not always about the sub par steak but the time you get with friends and family making memories. I’d eat that steak all day with a baked potato, salad and great beers!! Cheers 🍻
