  • WHY IS THE BOAT SMOKING SO BAD?

  • Those are gas engines on the Conquistador, Chevy 454's I think, and we are really running up the RPM's trying to dig through about 10 feet of sand

  • How long do you have to run your mailboxes to move 10 feet of sand? Are divers in the water (at a safe distance) as you operate to see if you blow something completely out of the hole? Do you ever experience overheating due to the silt in the cooling water?

  • nice to see somebody else from treasurenet, I'm Firerescue over there.

  • LOL, I thought the same thing.
