Hey Stuart What do you think about a Resource section. It could be a listing by category for suppliers and a listing by category of homemade devices. An example is the anchor I was just asking about. Ric said buy and Bahiatrader said make it. Thanks for considering Bill

Hi All I know I ask a lot of questions and may seem a little dumb. Almost all of my last many years of fishing has been in lakes and rivers. My dad used to fish Salmon commercially in Norther California so I have some of his old plastic stuff etc. The salt water is a new experience and I want...

I want to make some custom fish hook removers and need info. on bending 1/4" stainless rod. It appears I need about a 1" diameter open circle on the end of the tool. Also can it be threaded with normal threading tools ? The rod I have seen is about $ 6.00 a stick but I have done little...

What should I have for insurance on the boat in Mexico ? Who would you suggest contacting to buy. The boat will be stored down there and in CG I would like full coverage that will value the boat at more than book because of the full restoration I have done. Thanks Don't Worry Be Happy Bill

Hi Ric I took the boat up to Neil last evening for him to work on. You must have worked the heck out of him this weekend as he was real tired. So I put the boat in his back yard and he will work on it this next week. The dash panel in that boat is a real nightmare as there is not enough wire...

Below is a message I sent on the San Carlos forum about weather. It also applies to RP and I ask the same question here. No one on SC forum has answered. Don't Worry Be Happy Bill Steve or anyone down there my question is about Bouyweather as compared to Weather Underground. Are either one...

In trying to find these guys--- are the at 4810 N 16 Th St ? Bill.

I am ready to install the brass intake scoop on the bottom of the boat but I am not sure of its direction. Logically the scoop side would go to the stern because of the intake pipe location for impact reasons. But not all things being logical I thought I had better question before...

I am looking for navigational maps and oceanographic maps from the North end of The Sea of Cortez to about 100 miles south of San Carlos. I have done a fairly extensive research but find nothing. Hard or electronic should be fine. I can print to 11 x 17. Don't Worry Be Happy Thanks Bill

Don I was just reviewing some stuff and read your note that the bulkhead fittings are limited in size. In Casa Grande we have a company that specializes in agricultural tanks and spraying equipment. They have tank fittings that are larger and UV safe, but they do get pricey. The fittings are...

Does anyone know if the mexican side will take a photo copy of the boat registration or do I have to keep the original in my truck ? Don't Worry Be Happy Bill

I know this is going to get varied answers but I need some input. What do I need for electronics for the boat ? Cell phone,Radios, Depth finder with chart plot etc. I do not have a lot of dollars and need to stay in a $1200.00 to $ 1500.00 total range but I also do want quality and display...

I stopped in at Safe Marina on Tuesday and ask about prices. The main area no longer does dry storage. The area across the street in now under seperate ownership and you can store there but the sign says it is for sale. If you want Safe marina to launch and pull it is about $ 30.00 plus if...

Hi Ric Hey I have a question about the baitwell I am building. It will be as Dons but I was wondering about capacity. Don mentioned you would like more capacity. In the Sea Ray if I set the tank down in the center of floor strorage well the top of the tank is just right to sit on. I could...

Well, I took a financial hit this last week. Sold a home in Colorado that had a $ 700,000.00 ballon this Nov. The guy had no money and took us to court on a foney deal but due to our financial position we gave in. Now we get 80% of about $ 650,000.00 WHEN IT SELLS. What a bummer! So my boat...
