we look for any anomalies. When we do our check run before take off we look for any anomalies. If we find any we would shut down that engine and return to the hanger. We would never go on if we doubted the instruments or the engines integrity. I would apply the same to boating.

250 twins are base line

Hi, do you find the 255 a poor performer when compared to the 275? I have not had a ride in either but looking at the specs the 275 and the 255 seem pretty close.

Throwing your friend into an Aero Commander A9B with very few hours is not funny, I agree. People who put friends into harms way as a joke may have a bigger problem with themselves. How many times have you seen someone take a friend down a ski trail that is beyond their skill level just to show...

agree with all. Here is a suggestion for you, when we fly we allow time to do a preflight and time to do a shut down. If you plan the time into your schedule it will become second nature. 1- We have a list of things to check before we go, we do not trust to memory, the Captain checks and the...

Jumpnjack: One time we were out fishing when those low scudding clouds racing towards us told us to up and go for home. I told the Admiral we would out run it when a lightning bolt hit the water somewhere in front of us, "are we still outrunning it"? the Admiral asked.

Summer racing on a downwind beat from Annapolis down the bay, in a 35 foot sailboat with a ½ oz. spinnaker flying nicely in 35-45 knots of wind, we were suddenly sailing by the lee when a 55 foot Swan sailboat behind us took a full broach knockdown. Less than 2 minutes later we took a knockdown...

thanks for all of your troubles, I have the plane up for an annual and scheduled sometime in May I hope. I am looking at another in NJ (car ride), I'll let you know if I am still interested, thanks again.

most boats this size are financed and they have not owned them long enough to get equity. 2003 is old boat if used 6-9-12 months running offshore, especially the engines, steering and all the mechanicals. I would want to see a robust service record.

great shots, or fish hawks and baldies are busy too

runway 10 bid block, love it, flown over, never landed by plane but many times for BI week by Jboat, booze parties on the beach, i remember one barrel of whiskey sours that seemed to perfectly remove the days racing fore-deck mistakes. ah those college daze, yes daze, when everything was...

21n hi fish tank, nice looking plane been into hto, never 21n, maybe give it a look this summer?

first impressions are everything, it was out in the open, no cover, the boat was filthy, had not been bottom painted for 3 years and it showed, we had been told the boat was very clean. i think they did not expect us so quickly after our phone call. if the visuals are bad the hidden stuff must...

we flew in our bonnie up to Nantucket today to look at a grady boat for sale. IFR all the way, we crossed over JFK at 8500 Flight level in a complete whiteout trusting to our instrument panel to make the trip out the sound in the whiteout, landed with only 650 foot visability at KACK using the...

Just curious, did you buy from a dealer or a private sale?

Re: GM Outboard, Game Changer? How about a Diesel? I would love to have one of the new German diesels for my next boat. I recently drove the 2011 BMW X5 xDrive35d 3.0-liter twin turbo inline 6 engine. Wow what a sweet ride. VW, Audi and Mercedes also have these new diesels. The US and Japanese...

cold water kills quickly, icy decks, icy docks, icy ladders,

I just received this message, CLEMMONS, N.C — SeeDealerCost.com, a consumer research site that has attracted the marine industry's attention by promising to reveal dealer invoice pricing, launched earlier today. It covers the boats, engines, motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, PWCs, and soon RVs...

Any thoughts on this new website, believable or not http://www.seedealercost.com/boats

good job, great work, we have a similar project among waterfront dwellers in talbot county. also the state of maryland has been bringing rock into both harris creek and areas bordering the choptank river to create reefs for spat which they have been layering on these reefs this past few weeks...
