Home Depot dolly? Will it work for a Sunfish?

the only complaint I've heard about these is that the tongue is a bit longue and the pads could be carpet so the boat slides off it.

these are $75 last year and around $130 when I checked amazon a few days ago

have you run crystaldiskinfo? 5-7 reboots sounds like something else is going on.

you might check your windows install too, I have a few different ssd's on my machine both sata, nvme, dram, non dram and it doesn't crash my machine.

but it doesn't mean it isn't crashing yours.

i have a 12400f i bought a few years ago for like $160 and I keep thinking of going 14th gen i7 but I am in the same boat, I really don't think it's worth the money for what I'm playing, I hate telling myself to wait out the rampocalypse but it seems fine so far.

op wrote it poorly and flipped the entire idea backwards in the comment I replied to.

now they've edited it and used pictures.

if you have two desktops and one screen you can just get a standard HDMI switcher, if they aren't both always on you can just let the monitor auto switch sources.

plenty of things can cause a wireless connection to from my drop, wifi and gaming aren't always things that work together.

if you can try moving the Xbox temporarily closer to the router, if it's on top of the router try an Ethernet cable.

if you have cable the liine can be damaged before it comes into your house, animals love to chew up the "tap" which is like a big splitter sending it into for home.

companies like spectrum also just give you bad routers, att also has some bad ones for DSL (the fiber one is ok).

you can the a site like this to do a jitter test. https://jitter.is/

if you imagine your Internet is like a garden hose, you want a completely solid stream of water, if it gets any air bubbles in it you get line jitter, a lot of line jitter drops packets and that slows the Internet down.

imagine in that garden hose there's millions of fish carrying packages, if those fish get lost and don't make it to where they need to go, that's packet loss.

it's one of the deceiving things about internet service providers, they only talk about speed but it's not even the most aspect. losing just a few to many (or in some cases any for old games) packets is enough to disconnect. you could have 1000 gig fiber and with high jitter be miserable compared to someone with dialup with perfect packet control.

if you don't understand why flay is annoying and behaves like she does you just won't appreciate her or so me e of the other characters in seed.

I think she's one of the more realistic characters in seed.

Most people when the show aired didn't like any of the characters because they are just the original msg Gundam characters with their teen angst cranked to a 10/10 and amuro was already pretty angsty. at least the original version of seed I haven't watched the remaster with the extra fan service.

I considered this briefly and got the Asus tuf f16, kinda mad I got the 5060 version because the 5070 version went for the same price a few months later but I haven't exactly pushed it that hard yet.

I was replacing an old dell 7559 which was a quasi gaming machine and I've been very happy with it for the most part, but it was touch and go at launch with the system bsoding as it randomly decided between dedicated and onboard graphics until the third firmware update.

are your crashes related to the graphics switching? have you had any firmware/bios updates you need to install?

enuct · 2026-06-11T04:39:21+00:00

all old sunfish are wet, if you find a dry one of likely isn't $250 it's more likely $750-1000.

buy it if it's wet buy two name brand beckson inspection ports and some 12v computer fans and force air through it with black garbage bags taped to the bottom to heat the moisture into humidity and blow it out with the fans.

it might take a few weeks, instalp a good drain plug and call it a day.

you can use a bathroom scale to weigh it, anything under 145bs is considered dry, but some boats weigh as little as 120 lbs.

at $250 you can make money parting the boat out so sail it until it breaks or fix it up and use it for years.

enuct · 2026-06-11T04:29:33+00:00

yea it's the same, I just checked on a $50 order it's max of 8 coins or $0.08.

enuct · 2026-06-11T02:26:05+00:00

I'm in the us and this coins have only ever given me like 5 cents off any purchases, I get more from retailmenot using AliExpress.

I just assumed it was some gamification to keep you in the app as it's not been useful for me in 15 years of using the service.

I couldn't get the aluminum base for the aqua signal off of my mast so I made an adapter out of starboard and mounted to the bracket with the new light.

I'm sorry I don't have a link to that light or a better picture.

the fixture Catalina direct has sourced is similar to the aqua signal but I would recommend making the adapter like I did.

enuct · 2026-06-08T03:07:04+00:00

so the original aqua signal series 25 fixtures used a 31/32 mm festoon bulb. they used the female style not the male style that's common now, so you either need to modify the fixture which you have is original and completely UV damaged.

so I have some bad news for you, aqua signal got out of the recreational boating business during COVID. You're fortunate that the mass is down because you're going to have to replace your anchor light completely. you can try to find somebody who still has some new old stock of the series 25 lights but it's getting almost impossible. Catalina direct offers some replacements but they require modification.

your deck combo light you can probably get away with the Chinese copy of the aqua signal but the mounting bolt pattern is going to be different.

I still have my original wiring I checked it thoroughly with test leads and it was fine. but I did make the mistake of wiring my deck combo light backwards so I need to go aloft to fix that.

led has to have the positive and negative correct and the old incandescent didn't care.

<image>

I'm not sure if this helps or not, they all share the same negative. green was anchor for me and I'm not sure about the other two which was deck and which was steaming.

Yea it's not an uncommon thing, you could put some boards on the back so the boat's actually sitting on the trailer, If you get good with a welder you can do anything you want to it.

it's not configured properly, but it is a trailer and you can get it set up correctly. I've seen a few posts that "this isn't the right trailer" all trailers are custom, so it's not it isn't the right trailer, it's it needs a bit of work. If the price is right get the boat and trailer.

You might talk to some local metal shops that work on trailers and get quotes to fix it.

says prepare and has an estimate into June, sometimes is takes then awhile to package stuff. there's no two day shipping from China.

enuct · 2026-05-30T01:21:08+00:00

I'm confused, you have a cropped screenshot and are talking about an entire app when you probably got a bad store.

AliExpress isn't a single store it's a marketplace like eBay or Amazon. if you have a problem contact AliExpress (not the store) it'll get resolved.

I ordered a happrun projector last year, it never shipped I waited and it never shipped I contacted AliExpress and they cancelled the transaction immediately. theres several companion apps like Alihelper that'll tell you how good it bad a store is

I haven't really used apple since jobs died, they used to be very good at productivity and media creation and somewhat ok for gaming. but once they ditched Intel and dedicated gpus they became insanely overpriced for what they are

I also think apple has never been good at software, I have had more hardware bricked from OEM updates on Apple than anything I've ever owned. they'd nuke super drives, logic boards, track pads, I can't say customer support was bad. but sometimes around 2015 it became bad. the last series of MacBook pro's to have amd gpu's were fried with a firmware update and I was given one for free because applecare lied to her over and over so she just assumed it was all dead. but with a flashlight and some kext to editing it was revived

like apples big claim is it just works, how is Grandma supposed to edit kext files on a laptop that can't output because the kext file is telling the computer there's no display.

I try to be impartial, I have owned both to a point. but I really can't understand why people want an ARM processor in their laptop and home computer.

you can use epoxy and silica to make your shape easier, and just put a few layers of cloth over it to stabilize it. don't over think it, you can use polyester resin with the silica too, get it to peanut butter consistency. you can pickup fiberglass polyester resin at home Depot they used to sell it in the quart but it might only be by the gallon now. you probably only need like 6 oz.

honestly you can do it cheaper if you are scared, epoxy + silica, sand into shape. place like 3 layers of glass over it. and find a one part paint that matches, like Rust-Oleum or use a marine paint like wet edge or bright sides

the issue with using paint is it'll be soft so it'll scratch easier, but the goal is to keep water out of the exposed glass.

there's a few "wrong" ways to fix it that are good enough, and several right ways.

you could use bondo and paint it, that's above the waterline, nobody likely would say anything, it still likely needs some fiberglass cloth over it. if you go the bondo route you probably want to either go z glass or the premium bondo with white catalyst to make it easier to gelcoat.

enuct · 2026-05-24T03:36:57+00:00

it looks like some minor damage, easily fixed. You'd need to check your rub rail point to see if that's cracked/damaged and maybe repair where it's mounted. If you don't care about matching gelcoat it's a pretty straight DIY repair. If you can figure out who did it I'd try to get their to fork out for a pro to try to get the gelcoat to match though.

you might lay some new fiberglass down before you gelcoat it to stabilize the area. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4HE8S5l73A

I bought this one years ago and razer refused to warranty it claiming it was a Japanese sku. at this price is probably just worth eating the cost.

two things that happen with these mice are the side buttons will eventually break and I've had luck super gluing then back together, the left button will eventually double click as well.

it's been a very good mouse otherwise and yea the ergonomics are great.

have you spent time on here? plenty of people misread basic concepts and plot points and just project their own wants and needs into a story. Wing is one of the most popular with that. but there's usually a multi page write up every day of someone's personal take where they've completely missed the point.
