Foaming certainly isn't wrong, but I also don't think that not foaming is as wrong or less superior than many people make it out to be. There are pros and cons for each and it really comes down to personal preference. I do disagree about the size of the leak. If you're getting a couple...

But did your hood simultaneously come off and your engine die? If not, then no issue. Looks like you made it back to shore just fine.

You'd only regret it if you had a rather large leak in the tray that allowed a couple gallons an hour. If the leak was big enough to cause you problems, then most likely your waterlogged foam wouldn't be much help either.

One of the toughest workouts I've ever done was 5 500m sprint rows with 2min rest in between. That last row will kill you if you're really sprinting.

was that the company with the powerful 4 stroke sitdowns that kinda remind you of a Harley Vrod?

It could be a couple things. Starter could be bad, impeller could be frozen in wear ring, low/weak battery, corrosion somewhere in the starter circuit, engine could have water in it and be locked up, and probably a couple other things. I would start with checking all the battery cables for...

good first step. You can set up a crossfit gym at home for relatively cheap. There is always a substitute for what you don't have. Check out this page for the easiest of the garage WODs. http://crossfitimpulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Comprehensive-Bodyweight-Workout-List-v1.02.pdf...

This guy did this in about 18 months. He's the veterinarian. He works full time and has a family. He's not in the gym anywhere near 6 hours a day like you are. It's more like in and out in less than an hour. These results are pretty typical for someone that is dedicated to both crossfit and...

If that's your goal, you have no idea how bad you need to be doing crossfit right now. The Marines have already adopted Crossfit into their fitness program. The Army is heading that way and virtually ALL special forces are heavily into it. I don't know what more convincing you could possibly...

there are too many tubes, inserts, etc to make an air bladder practical enough to do any good. Fiberglass splinters WILL puncture one without breaking a sweat. You also have to think about the vibration that will chew right through a bladder.

yeah, that's where I heard it.....the crazy British guy...:pancake:

for the most part, yes it will. however, it also allows some to grind it's way into the pipe. I'd say that for what we're doing it won't matter either way. If you have a torch handy while doing it, then no big deal. It's kinda like doing a solvent wipe on a surface before you sand and prep...

I have heard, but not confirmed, that you should flame the pvc before you hit it with sandpaper. It is supposed to burn off any contaminants or anything from manufacturing that might not help the bonding. A couple seconds with a butane torch should do it. I did it and never had issues. I...

you'll want something with a reverse bucket...

99% sure. this winter was too much and I'm getting tired of the commute. 10min is much better than 45 min. We'll probably enjoy most of this summer then find a place and sell the boat for now.

not yet, but I need to. We'll probably end up living a couple miles from those trails by the end of the summer...

my typical exercise loop near the marina is 5.5 miles and my PR is 28 min. Much of it is flat to slight hills and only about a mile is a leg burner of big hills. It's all paved/gravel unless I take the add-on trail, which I can only do out of hunting season and when everything isn't all grown...

I'm sure there are 100 ways to get to your goal. If you do the crossfit or crossfitfootball workouts as directed plus throw in some crossfitendurance, then you'll certainly get to your goal. The daily workouts are posted on the sites for free every day. I happen to go to a crossfit gym, but...

that's WAY too much time in the gym. Not to sound like a broken record billboard, but have you looked at crossfit? For someone like you, i'd look at http://www.crossfitfootball.com/ instead of regular crossfit although either one will give you improvements. I'd bet money that you will...

I've seen anything from stainless sheet metal screws and an o-ring to stock yamaha drain plugs from couches. You could affix some sort of plastic or metal backing inside the hull and tap it for a bolt of your choice too.
