I was just wondering if anyone had any of the old knucklehead lures they would be willing to sell. Thanks!

How much do you think the engines will bring? I know the crankshafts are very scarce.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

If the track continues as currently predicted we should be ok. The marina has closed and everyone has had to move their boats out so we are on the hill just south of Charleston. Hope everyone is OK. Scott 1981 46B Dealer's Choice Edisto Beach, SC

I am sure most systems will let you sync up with your phone now. I can sit at the helm with my phone and change anything I need to. It is probably easier than touching the screen. Scott 1981 46B Dealer's Choice Edisto Beach, SC

We put in the Garmin 7612s and they seem to do more than I can figure out. Scott 1981 46B Dealer's Choice Edisto Beach, SC

I can't tell from the pictures but I do think these are the 6.5s which overall were terrible engines. The Isuzu diesel is a 6.6L which has been a fantastic engine for GM. I do not have any experience with the 6.6 in marine applications but I will say the people who have had problems with the Duramax...

Thanks Joe. I am not sure if I will get another invite this season but if I do I'll shoot you a message. Scott 1981 46B Dealer's Choice Edisto Beach, SC

Buzz, We aren't cut out for the cold like the guys further north. I hunted near Lake Mattamuskeet last Friday and Saturday. Friday wasn't bad at all but Saturday was 34 degrees with solid rain and 20 to 30 knot winds. We were glad to make it back to South Carolina because the roads all the way back ...

I felt like the insurance company did what they could to handle the claim properly. The estimate from the boat yard included bottom job, fiberglass repair, paint from the rub rail down, 3 front curtain panels, engine monitor display and probably a few other things I can't think of right now. It came...

The boatyard is supposed to speak with Danny at High Tide today. I will give an update when I know more. Scott 1981 46B Dealer's Choice Edisto Beach, SC

Thank you for all of the replies. I just spoke to Danny at High Tide and he tells me by taking off the old rail it will have no effect on the structural integrity of the boat. He gave me the rundown how the deck fits on the hull which I understand but he also says the deck and hull are joined by a p...

It would seem to me once the old rail was off you could 5200 the joint all the way around to solve the leak problem but I don't know for sure about that. Do you remember if the deck joint has the thru bolts going through the rail or are they behind the rail. I just do not want to compromise the inte...

The boatyard is ready to start the repairs on Dealer's Choice which will included painting the hull sides but what I would like some advice on is replacing the rub rail. The rail was already painted when we purchased the boat but it is a nightmare to try to keep looking decent. The bow rail is comin...

Glad to hear you guys are doing OK. Hang in there and stay on top of it. Good luck with the recovery. Scott 1981 46B Dealer's Choice Edisto Beach, SC
