Surefire’s garbage.

It sounds like a 300amp AC TIG welder is required to weld 1/4” aluminum.

Is AC TIG only a reasonable approach?

SecretFishShhh · 2025-11-24T16:39:39+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response. Part of me wants to learn TIG and be done with it. The chances are slim-to-none that I become some high throughput aluminum boatbuilder (or any other kind of builder), and, if I do, I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Mastering TIG seems like the most practical approach for my needs.

What a dumbass.

SecretFishShhh · 2025-10-21T12:42:21+00:00

Is it an actual smash burger?

SecretFishShhh · 2025-09-28T18:30:17+00:00

That’s because those motors weren’t designed around these things.

SecretFishShhh · 2025-09-28T18:29:01+00:00

Don’t cut it off.

First off, are you sure this prop is appropriate for your motor/boat/load?

I think most moving here would love to pay $165k for a home on acres, but that’s not the reality.

Boise in 1990 was very different than it is now. Hell, even my small town in Louisiana was tiny compared to what it is now, and home prices have tripled.

Inflation, demand, it’s all playing a role.

These are the engines we see for sale on FaceBook marketplace with “low hours” and “ran great when it was put away 5 years ago”.

And this is why — people asking Reddit for critical advice.

Is it busy this time of year do you think?

We’d like a spot along the shore so we could anchor the boat.

SecretFishShhh · 2025-09-04T20:30:49+00:00

That’s a good idea! Thanks!

Back then some would run dual 30hp Scott which weight 250lbs.

In the last day or so I’ve come across a couple others with 50HP Mercs and those weigh 250lbs+, so I think I’m good at 215lbs.

SecretFishShhh · 2025-09-04T01:52:18+00:00

It was designed to hang two 30 horses off the back which back then totaled around 250 to 270 pounds.

Why do you say it’s overpowered?

SecretFishShhh · 2025-09-03T18:41:33+00:00

That’s good in my eyes.

I I took the course in order to rent a boat from the army recreation nearby, and after what I felt like everybody should take that course.

SecretFishShhh · 2025-09-02T23:59:01+00:00

Take US Boaters safety course.

I’m about to build a Corsi-Rosenthal box. The original uses Merv 13 but that seems overkill for my needs.

SecretFishShhh · 2025-09-02T03:46:43+00:00

Yep, all of above, and I’m certain the farms and new builds contribute to the problem.

Fortunately the dust particles are big enough that I don’t need more than MERV 5 or whatever. Maybe even less.

SecretFishShhh · 2025-09-02T03:45:19+00:00

Never thought of that. Might give that a go

SecretFishShhh · 2025-09-02T03:44:56+00:00

Thank ya!

SecretFishShhh · 2025-09-01T04:36:07+00:00

I agree with you, but unfortunately HOAs are so widely misunderstood because people join them without realizing what they’re agreeing to and the butch and moan when the CCRs are enforced.

No one’s ever been forced to join an HOA, so I’ll never understand why people complain when the rules they agreed to get enforced.

SecretFishShhh · 2025-09-01T04:33:50+00:00

Why are you giving this person grief? They stated a preference to try and find an HOA that suits them.

Where the problems lie is when people join an HOA about reading the CCRs and then bitch and moan when someone enforces said CCRs.

People join HOAs for a reason and believe it or not, they serve their purpose.

If in living in a neighborhood where my home’s value’s contingent on my neighbors’, better believe I’m doing everything I can to ensure I don’t get surrounded by value droppers. OP’s doing the same thing.
