(son is a hobbiest woodworker and he said go) Not set up for single handing, so thats going to be a change,...

I've found 79 CD25 at a VERY reasonable price ( ahve not seen the interior yet) but the LAST reasonable boat I looked at had the interior gutted and had no idea where to start. THE ...

The best suggestion is to run your cable and THEN put the connector on that goes to the radio. Everytime you splice (ie use a barrel connector) there is going to be some signal loss. ANd if there is an emergency, you wat ALL the signal you can get soming our of your antenna. Look around where you bo...

After that, you need a tripod. I bit the bullet and purchased an optically stabilized 80-400mm lens and what a dif...

Coming from a ham, don;t mess with the innards on a 706. Or any ham radio for that matter. They are NOT type accepted to work outside the ham bands, and if you get into trouble, they may not work at all.

Item 1 PB Blaster. Get it at any auto store. Works way better than WD40. Item 2. While you are there, ask about their tool loaner program. You can get the use of a torque wrench for free. They charge a deposit and when to tool is returned in good working order, you get your deposit back. If you dont...
