Today is the day to do the dreaded bottom paint. and find my dock box key????? I am sure it is right were I left it.????
2013 Boating Season
- Thread starter polarisrider1
- Start date
think it would be better to view on the other side in golden gate nat rec sitting on the rail of one of the old WW2 gunner fortresses with the waves crashing the walls below.Nice new light show on the Golden Gate but not sure you can see from Sausalito side but maybe?? Thinking bout flying out to see from Warf in San Fran should be nice.
if not for all the whack job Communist yahoos in that part of the world I would still live there. it was a far less drive to Tahoe for un real snow than it is for me to the up for 1/2 ars snow

Before you buy that ticket, be sure you're talking about the right bridge. They just started the multi-million dollar light show on the Bay Bridge a couple days ago. It's scheduled for 2 years but they are already talking about keeping it longer since all the cash is in the up front cost. Runs about $17 per night to keep it all lit up. Haven't heard anything about the G Gate being lit up though.
He prob meant the Bay bridge I was just assuming the GG Because the bay is just a ugly pos.
I was living out there when sections of that thing fell.never liked driving on lower deck and the fresh cement sections were a reminder.
I have a Idea our state is broke we are in the hole deep our people are scurrying like rats to neighboring states to try to rune them next.
what should we do yeah that's the ticket we will spend millions to hang Christmas lights on a toll bridge.Nevada and Arizona cant become ocean fr property soon enough

Midwest TV news reporters have no idea which bridge! lol. Wife & I ran the the DVR back & saying new light show is on the Golden Gate Bridge. Sometimes you need to check these things out for ones self. lol I do agree with Ezra bay bridge not very exciting bridge compared to GG but it is the bay bridge with new light show. http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=resources/traffic&id=9014311

Have you looked into buying a short block and moving all the bolt on stuff from old motor over to new. I see ads in Boating Mag. and others with remans and Jasper motors all the time.

Hi Scott, I appreciate the feedback. Should be noted that the block portion that is cracked, is located on a far
corner(a piece around 1 inch in diameter cracked off) where the starter bolts into the block. I will discuss it in more detail with the mechanic, before I bring it in. Bergland Snowmobile and Marine.
