i have the "build the new instant boats" book
and had hoped the plans in it
had a sea worthy model but i didn't like them... for the salt...

so i'll have to keep looking...

ya know? the original diesel engines
were designed to run on steam power.

I just picked up a Ford Ranger 2wd, 4cyl, 5speed stick shift, with very low miles for short $ from a family who just put it's 80 something owner in a nursing home.
My 02 F350 super duty is costing me about $100 a week just to go about 10 miles to and from work.
My boat is kept about 30 miles from my house!
The super duty won't see the road much till next winter and the plows come out again.

yeah, I dont' know how you truck guys are doing it either. my wife's little SUV V6 is starting to kill me.
I was filling up the other day at 3 something a gallon and noticed a sign on the food mart that said "Milk, 2.80 a gallon"
maybe I should invent a milk powered car!

and every day

these people running for president do NOT even mention it...

oh yeah , they'll yell about the profit margin the oil companies are making but thats about it... big freakin DEAL

where is the logic .... there is none..

it's so absurd.... now they are focusing on human rights because
of the olympics

trade policies and all that talk is a bunch of Hooey and stall tactics


we should all make little sail boat cars and start a parade down the freeways so they'll get the message... or start riding horses and buggies on the median strips... or the road sides ....
and take our OWN movies of it and post it on you tube instead of depending on the media to cover it...

they don't look so silly now do they?
