    State Farm, What a Scam.

    Insurance companies are in the business of profit. Delay delay delay payment; and if they do pay, it is always a below market price. Why? Because they can get away with it. Most people don't have the time or the savvy on how to deal with these clowns; or just take the low offer as they need to...

    2003 lx210 port engine cranks but will not start.

    again - switch out the fuel filters. First step. If that doesn't work move on to something else. Go easy first. If it started and ran? Might be a filter clog. Curious what you paid for this? I'm guessing around 1500?

    SOLD AL - Sportsstuff Sumo Tube with Splashguard

    These Sumos are a tough ride and not enjoyable imo. The perfect size where your nutz are hanging out and getting blasted in the waves. You have to have incredible upper body strength to hold onto this rope and keep going. This views from 2011. Scroll to about 1.35 and see how tough it is...

    Garage door opens sporadically. Is there a phantom lurking nearby?

    Working on on. Thanks. I did replace the battery in the old lady's transmitter - no pushing it a million times isn't going to make it work, why didn't you tell me it wasn't working geez. And since a new battery was installed, no phantom openings in 3 days. Yet.

    No LED's and what the heck is a dip switch?

    Garage door opens sporadically. Is there a phantom lurking nearby?

    I figure one of you will know the issue as this is becoming a pain in my ass. My garage opens randomly. The internet fixes are not helping, i.e. the sensor is out of alignment - no it is not; the power is surging - no it is not; the door control where you punch in a code is old - no it is...

    2003 lx210 port engine cranks but will not start.

    I used to start my LS, every time, with dumping a few drops of gas straight into the carbs. I guess it was dangerous, but it worked. These two strkes require alot of tweaking to run. Fired right up. When it died - every single time - it was the fuel filter. I actually carried a handful of...

    Poll on my Boat Graphic

    Too much going on. No thank you. Then again it is not my boat. Give your wife credit on her "decorating" taste!

    The great trailer tragedy

    Pleased to here Progressive handled this wonderfully, as they have a bad rap in these parts at least for car claims. I have them also for the boat, with trailer and tow coverage but nonetheless, I pay about 150 bucks a year for the BOAT US policy also, as I know they will instantly cover trailer...

    Can anyone help me fix my 07 SX230 in New Smyrna Beach, Florida?

    Dont know if this guy can help at all, but I met him at a park about 3 years ago when he had beached his SX230 from the river and was out enjoying the park. We were just talking because we had the same boat and of course his business came up when I asked about a maintenance person if I ever...

    Tackling the Fall boredom...

    In the Fall? Nothing like the challenge of being in the replay booth knowing you have to review every reviewable aspect of a play before the next snap gets off, or it is your ass! Keeps the brain young, (At least I hope)

    Would you pay 30k for this boat?

    NO F ING WAY! Run!! Buy the one Scott above linked. https://jetboaters.net/threads/2007-yamaha-ar230-for-sale-in-nc-25k.42026/ If you are looking for a used Yamaha, you can't go wrong with a 2007-09 230 (AR or SX) IF it was cared for. There is alot to be said for buying a boat off a...

    How old is too old??

    ^Not necessarily true, if the boat was well cared for, I'd buy it. Just not at 28k that is pandemic pricing when folks were desperate for a boat and would pay almost anything. This one is book priced at 22-25K. Use this only as a guide. But these boats, if cared for, are not ticking time...

    Advice on purchase 19' vs 21'

    Bigger always better. Go twins. More power which you will realize you don't have when you have a single engine.

    P2P insurance

    If fraud etc is involved in the shielding process, it is a less daunting task to pierce the veil. Clearly, fraud etc will defeat one of the reasons for an LLC or Corp. Negligenct acts are not an avenue which will pierce the corporate veil. Bottom line? Make sure you are over-insured.

    P2P insurance

    Here we go with the non - lawyers giving legal advice.....If things are set up properly (and not via "legal zoom" or other types of internet legal forms companies) you can insulate yourself. That is precisely what these entities are set up to accomplish, I am certain the facts of the...

    Low Hours Boat Requiring Decision on Engine

    Or, do not buy an SBT at all. SBT = COMPLETE GARBAGE. Warranty or not. I am basing this on personal experience, with a 2 year warranty - and only put about 30 hours on it in 2 summers and within one month out of warranty, it blew. They are built NOT TO LAST. Mind you, this was on my...

    Boat Stolen - 2011 Yamaha 242 Limited S - MUST READ

    Just some atty advice. Basically, you have been made whole -legally speaking - by your insurance company (even though we know you have not been made whole all things considered) so they now have your rights to go after who they believe is responsible. Which if the storage lot? They will not...
