I dont see what difference having a boat operators license would make when so many people that have drivers licenses for cars still cant drive worth a Sh!t LOL :grin:

you misunderstood me... I think its ok to have a few beers while operating the boat, say one MAYYYYBE two an hour and usually this is included with munchin on the mass amounts of food and snacks that we take for weekend cruises... but nothin much more than that, I.E. if your feeling like your...

Some years back my father was out in his Bass Boat on Lake of the Ozarks, He was coming around a bend and a 29 foot speed boat "Not sure what kind it was" Came around the bend to close to the shore and at high speed, my dad tried to react but didnt have time and the boat hit the front of his...

Yah, I cant believe that they are that hard to use... I mean were not puttin rockets into space here, were checkin for a soggy bottom boat :grin:

Hey Just wonderin if anyone has some good high res pics of a 450DA, something like 1024x768, I want some good ones for my desktop wallpaper and cant find any real good ones on the net

Well, youve kinda set my mind at ease frank, Im not so paranoid now..... I just did a quick google search for marine non destructive moisture meters and my search brought up quite a few ranging from 400-1000 dollars... doesnt seem like a bad investment to have just to run over the hull a...

I used to repo cars,boats, and tractor trailers about 8 years ago. whoever said earlier that if they cant afford the boat maintenence probably lacked is right. Its just a matter of how long the vehicle was out for repo and the type of owner as well. If it was up for repo for one month it is...

yah its the what ifs that make me nervous.. But im pretty good about maintenence... I guess its just a roll of the dice....but I really like the 96'-97' 450 DA's, I like the 400's too

so a 1996-97 450da is cored at the bottom as well?? :smt017

Ahhh gotcha, that makes more sense :grin: and sounds like a super fun project :thumbsup: LOL Thanks for the info guys, like I said, Im totally new to all this but love learning, thats why im starting a year out before I even start looking at boats, I have alot to learn

you can remove and reseal stuff?? I didnt think it was that easy to seperate the glass on these... I mean I have no problem doing my own maintenence on the boat, in fact I plan to do just about everything cuz I enjoy working on my stuff, I do all the work on my BMW's as well, I think its just...

HOLY CRAP!!:wow: I didnt realize it was THAT BAD when this stuff got wet....im starting to have second thoughts completely on a cored hull boat, even if I have a survey done that says all is ok, what if 3 years down the road I start to have problems?? I just dont know what to think, :huh:I...

Hey guys, just wondering about the coring issue with some of the mid 90's searays. I keep reading about having the survey done to make sure the core/foam doesnt have moisture in it. I know moisture in between layers of fiberglass probably isnt good, but my question is this, what happens to a...

darn...thats not good, Im still just doing my research for a boat that I will hopefully purchase next year, but if I cant stand up with the canvas top on thats no good at all cuz I will have the top on all the time. i dont guess there is anyone that makes an aftermarket hardtop??

Holy Crap.. Yah so I threw out an add for bids on boat shipping just to get a general idea of what it may cost to ship a boat from FL to Mo... wow, id say ill stick in the midwest cus 37,000 is a bit high for my taste... I think I could hire a tractor trailer and haul it myself for less than...

yah, Well see when the time comes, that would be Ideal to have one already there.

LOL, Actually I think the problem is she DIDNT know mixed gas existed...combined with the fact that the 5 gal can is heavier than the 1 gallon can also had something to do with it methinks..... yah might get lucky and find one on lake ozark when the time comes but I doubt it cuz im not that...

LOL, Hull survey huh.... sounds kinda like me with my "if you lend your lawnmower to your neighbors wife, make sure she knows not to use mixed gas in it.... dont ask me how I know this" :smt043 sigh... it still doesnt run right

Hey Guys, I had a couple more Q's here since my first post. As I said, im lookin to get a 450da hopefully next year. Should I avoid saltwater boats? This will be going to fresh water, specifically lake of the ozarks Mo. I dont mind doing maintenence on a boat or some cleaning up. I was a...
