It appear as though the company that provides our Chat feature recently updated their software and now one of their modules is being 'mis-classified' by Norton/Symantec and possible containing a virus. Until they have this resolved we have de-activaed chat. We've opened a support incident with Envolve and they will hopefully have this corrected soon.

Shinook, you are right. If you look hard enough it can be done. I don't want to finance either. My intended point was that a motorboat is usually a signature away. While young people may not be...

She must have been the one I saw in St. Thomas just a few months ago.

That is one gorgeous vessel. It looks similar to one I recently saw in St. Thomas, albeit from a distance so I can't really make a comparison.

Pffft. Obvious riff-raff. I hope he moved on before anyone took notice. I shudder to think of what the neighbors might have said had they thought he was a guest of mine.

You aren't going to hurt the engine by using, or not using, the choke. If it starts and runs, you didn't need the choke. It if won't start, choke it. All the choke is doing is regulating the...

Nice workaround with the generator, but that's an awfully expensive way to run tools. But if you don't want to bury a cable for whatever reason, it's the best solution. I can't think of any other...
