That one still works, but preference is drkato33@gmail.com. No need to send anything though. Just trying to get my brand out there some.

Hey guys. Over the years, many of you have sent me a little donation. The site does cost money to host and upkeep, so it is definitely something I appreciate greatly. I'm not asking for more, but rather pointing you to a side hobby of mine, which is doing graphic arts. If you're interested in helpin...

When you are posting there is a button below for "Save Draft". When you save draft, how do you retrieve it ? It isn't the most intuitive, but under your profile (upper right), go the User Control Panel (UCP) and on that page you should see a sub-tab that says "Manage drafts" on the "Overview" tab.

Just to make sure I closed on this. I think we discussed offline, and they are all taken care of now, but in case they aren't, please let me know.

Hear hear! Everybody have a wonderful holidays. This year is almost over. I am sure 2021 is going to be much better.

Thanks Tony, I still have some more work to do to get the rest of the site back. I keep putting it on the back burner, but eventually I will. At least the forum is back and that was the super heavy lift. Just need to better the registration process to filter the spammers and bots. Doing it by hand r...

I have all the old stuff. It just took a lot out of me getting this far, so I've been lazy. I'll make more of an effort before summer's midway.

I'm sure it will be. Yep, you and I are the only ones left. I think it started back in 2005 or 2006. If my keepers could ever stay healthy for a whole year, I'd have a pretty good team! No, Tim doesn't come by anymore, so it's just you and I. He is looking at boats again though! I reset his login i...

Don't you think? Doug, are you and I the only remaining players from the site. Does Tim ever visit us anymore?

Yes, when I get off my duff and finish the other pages. Just getting everything back up and running, especially the forum took a lot out of me, but I will get there before Summer officially starts, promise.

I have an 82 with "270" 3208 CATS just under 2000 hrs. I cruise anywhere from 17-20Kts at 2400 and at 2850 I saw 25.9 Kts one time usually 22-24 Kts. My boat has a hardtop and a marlin tower with a hardtop. I wish that I could cruise at 25-27 because at that speed she flattens out and its like you ...

You should be OK. I am not that tall, but my friend is 6' 6" and I never hear him complain.

For those of you that have re-powered with 300/330 Cummins or similar Yanmar or Cats from gas did you have to upgrade your running gear (shafts, struts etc)? Just curious thanks Jon I've not done it myself, but in seeing the posts from others that have, pretty sure you have to swap out the majority...

Hey Sean, glad to see you back. In a nutshell what happened was the ISP the site was hosted on was going belly up. They wouldn't offer any support or anything, and the site was getting hacked left and right. I wanted to move the site a while ago, but the technology that the site and forum were built...

Welcome aboard. I think David misspoke, as the FBC is actually a foot taller than the SF at the top of the wind deflector on the bridge so it's got a higher center of gravity. Will it rock more at rest, sure. That said, I've been out in some nasty shit up in the NE and I've never felt unsafe. These...
