TCG boats & hoes discussion

[Yaj Yak]

really? I think that's absurd they wouldn't let you clean, sand or bottom paint your own boat. I can understand not letting a contractor come in

yeah i think that's liability/environmental stuff too.

Anyone know of/have some boat project threads worth reading? I'm not on any boat forums, but I like seeing interior refreshes, big engine builds or anything mildly interesting.

another boat


paying off all my debt with the sale, minus my car. saving the rest for a down payment on a place some day or moving expenses to another state.

I know where there is a sweet powerplay that's pretty cheap

Freeze warning tonight fellas away from the lake so watch your $$$hit....

 

[Yaj Yak]

nahhhh it's good homie. that water is at least 50* anywhere.

i'd only be halfway maybe a touch nervous if my boat was on a trailer like in a field or some shit.

even then. run it for five minutes and you're good

 

[JeffsLightning]

Not everyone is by or in the water and some people keep their boats on trailers. Just sayin

 

[Yaj Yak]

even still, one 8 hour period of below freezing isn't going to make a block break i'd bet.

and if anyone is nervous at all, drain the block, or just put a work light int he engine compartment and it won't

my boat is in for at least 2 more weeks.

 

[Yaj Yak]

went boating last night... was fucking awesome. got in around 11. beautiful out.

 

[ktraver97ss]

It'll barely touch freezing and for a short time, nothing to worry about.

1984 Cal 24 Sailboat

I'm going to buy this for $500, throw the mast in the lake and just motor it around. a mooring can at Monroe is about $1300 per season



Formula thunderbird interceptor 235
nothing too special about this other than it runs, I like how it looks, and it's cheap AF


28' Carver Mariner
this thing has been for sale the last two years now. finally at a decent price. pretty loaded too. likes this, a lot.

25' Cruisers Cuddy Cabin 454 engine
never knew cruisers made a boat like this. performance-esque. big block power and under $5k for a nice looking boat

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

All wood handmade river cruiser!

because this looks safe, especially that trailer

 

[Yaj Yak]

omg so sketchy

Catalina 27 sailboat

I like this a lot....and it's a sailboat. Really thinking of doing an epic river cruise vacation all the way down to the gulf and something like this would be perfect. Inboard diesel that sips fuel, shallow draft. I'd probably want to spend less money though.

Do the loop in small legs at a time. Travel for a week every year, dry dock the boat where you finish. come back the next year and do more of it.

 

[ktraver97ss]

Thats a good deal. Buy it, Ill teach you to sail. 4' draft aint that shallow though. Autopilot is cool, i have no idea how they work though, would like to fuck with one and figure it out. If the sails are solid thats a great price for that boat, I kinda wanna buy it. lol

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I don't have the cash for it. gotta wait on everything to clear from selling my boat still.

At the most basic level, it holds a degree heading, hydraulic pump modulates a cylinder back and forth to turn the rudder and keep the boat on that course. They get way way way more advanced than going straight though

got my storage plan finalized for the martinique... rustic harbor on the chain, fucking place has every big boat i have seen on the chain im pretty sure

seriously, looked like pulling into a lake michigan marina, the boats in the lot dwarfed my truck, my boat will be one of the smallest in there i think

$580 craned out, set on stands, and kept there til may 1st if i want. not bad at all.

Holy shit.

I didn't even know that place was back there. I never really ventured up Nipersink creek before. Thats a fucking deal. I know if you had your own trailer Fisk Lake Beach Camp Ground is $100 all winter. Outside obviously.

 

[1quick]

You won't crack a block in a few hours it needs to be cold for a prolonged period of time the engine compartment will hold the heat of the day, but like Kj said open the drains on the motor and exhaust and your good leave them cracked so if you do get some freezing of what's left in there it has a place to go

yeah it's weird to get to, on land, or water... on land, it's basically in the middle of a neighborhood, on water... it's down the creek quite a ways.

I didnt know that creek was deep.

My dad had a house in Spring Grove on Nipersink creek. I've always wanted to rip a waverunner from his house to the chain when it was high. Otherwise id see people on kayaks and canoes on it daily.
