OCMD2

Maybe you should follow me next time. I can get you to Assateague with hitting anything!

@Hatem . . . Had to chuckle when I saw you found 1.3 ft. We try not to go there, lol.

Yikes. I know the tournament you're speaking of. My place is pretty close to Northside. I never realized the tournament was that big!

But the games are in probably in Northside Park on the other end of OC, lol!

Sorry, just saw this! I boat OCMD. Plenty of good boating, although you have to know the water a bit. Let me know what you need or are curious about and I'll fill you in!

My vote is for the 244 as well. I have a 2011 and love it. (It's not underpowered!)

It's interesting how there are two ways to accomplish basics. I'm beginning to believe that I was taught the less popular way on a couple, but they feel completely natural to me. Approach speed is a constant. I think most learn to point the nose at the landing point and control airspeed with the throttle(s). I learned to control the airspeed with the elevators and the rate of descent/glide slope with the throttle.

I guess I'm in the minority, but like SST, I was taught to side slip into a crosswind. It always felt more natural to me because that keeps you lined up with the runway. It just takes a bit more power to keep your rate of descent under control. . . . . Any landing you walk away from is a good landing . . .

Hi OCMD2, The concern is if I decide to get a slip, it will have to be painted, so do I just get the blisters repaired and the bottom painted regardless.  I'm a salt water guy, so those that slip in fresh water will have to weigh in on the necessity for bottom paint in fresh water.

Are you concerned about the lack of bottom paint because of where the boat had been used or about your use of the boat going forward? A boat used in fresh water and trailered shouldn't need bottom paint.

Negative. The developer is The Dark Sky Company. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.darksky.darksky

Ok, thanks. So in the Play Store, the full name of the app is Dark Sky - Hyperlocal Weather.

What is the full name/developer name of the Dark Sky you are using? There are several Dark Sky apps in the Play store.

My "last two" match the year as well.

$1,200 seems high. The pump is about $450. About an hour and a half labor.
