We get one or two every year “abandoned “ at our yacht club . Engine is pooched , guys wife hates the boat ,deck is rotten , whatever . It’s 3k to be in the water and 2.5k winter , 5k a year with a boat valued at 5k , they ghost on us . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

Typo on my part 30Gal not 30L , your right that would be running unicorn piss . Our mess is a 1996 454 carb'd 4barrel Holley, the fuel line should be a garden hose. Switching engines would have meant new tranmission , changing mounts , possibly a new prop . Its used for race committee work at a...

My current sailboat is diesel , my last sailboat was gas ( atomic4 ) and we repowered with a Yanmar diesel . With no DEF fluid ( which causes most modern diesel issues) I’d say a marine diesel sees no more expense to maintain that a gas engine, your filters are a bit more complicated and racor...

$2.40L on most marinas in the GTA . You actually need a special permit to fuel a boat so you can find some trucks that have it, some will risk it , some won’t do it. The 454 we just finished overhauling drinks 30L an hour in a 26ft boat . I feel queezy doing the math on 2 engines in a 40ft...

Tell me how you love it at 1:30am Saturday night when the teenage kids are just “kids having fun” . If they invite me over that’s different…… Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

Boat insurance is relatively cheap in the Insurance world. My house hold policy covers 12ft max 9.9hp , which covers the Zodiac . Sailboat valued at 30k is $359 per yr and covers race damages ( I can’t believe it either) . Shark sailboat is $249. Boat ins is pretty cheap in comparison to...

Super mods are a pretty cool car . They used to tour different tracks , usually two stops per season at Flamboro speedway . It would be an expensive hobby now . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

So second news media has reported it’s been there since Covid , but recently announced plans to put a roof over it . That’s when the nieghbours went , nope , hard stop . Those aren’t Karen’s , that’s folks protecting thier own property values . I would not live next door to an all night shinny...

i love what he's trying to do , and wow that setup looks like hes 50K? in . But hes fooling around in a Heritage district , and cutting down trees (paying the fines after , like he knows he'd never get approval) . Strikes me a joe millionaire pulling a watch me project.

Your being silly , yes you could carry zero ins. But no marina ( or yacht club) will rent you a dock , nobody is storing you in winter . Cottage boat ? Ok, sink at the dock and get the MNR bill for a fuel cleanup ? Thousands . Ontario insurance suggested on a 20k boat is now 3million liability ...

Apparently a lot of this is changing, insurance companies are stopping offering coverage on boats of a certain length and value if you have no formal training , RYA , PowerSquadron, ect. Just too many claims that are avoidable apparently. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

I grew up at southern Ontario tracks watching go rounders . My mom was nuts for stock car and Indy car racing . I’d love to see a big race a talledega or Daytona . To be honest I watched lawn tractors on a grass ‘road’ course last summer . I’d go again, they had beer . Sent from my iPhone...

thats not an expensive sailboat abeam , its a Hughs Columbia . Treat it like an extra fender. Its shocking walking the docks at PCYC on the powerboat side , there is silly money in there . Legendary home repair guy Mike Holmes has a lovely 60ft just off the main pontoon walk. That club now gears...

I wish my kids sailed, they can run the basics but that is it. When I kids arrived I was sailing a lot on high level programs and even though we had a family sailboat , I couldnt shake my competive nature at the time . Family sailing sucked , 100% my fault . They sail with me now, and like it ...

To today’s consideration, I finally pulled an 80s Brietling out and put it back into service . It’s enormous on the wrist , like some rapper jewelry. And as treat for me I bought a new Rotary dive watch , automatic Henley . I needed a watch with a splash of red . Sent from my iPhone using...

I think the Sail GP record is 99.9kms. Thats really fast by any standards. And no you cant make tea, you do get some water and a a self contained breathing system inside your life vest so you have 15mins of air when the boat blows up. Such a different animal. I love the look of a traditional...
