Bushwacker,

So aviation gas has no alcohol in it, did not know that. Is it possible to buy some for my Seacraft? Octane?
I'm sure that is big bucks a gallon!

I'm told it's currently $5.23 a gallon of 100 octane Low Lead avgas here at Sikes Field in Crestview.

Connor,

Av gas is typically at least 100 octane, but if you think marina gas is expensive, wait till you price av gas! I'd guess at least $5/gallon! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Probably overkill for a boat, but if you ever get stuck in the Bahamas again with an empty fuel dock and have some 5 gallon jugs, that would be a viable option!

There was a a piece on Ship Shape TV on it last night.

It showed a product called X12 or something like that... it looked like it works

Jorge- Do a Google search on Formula X12. I saw the show yesterday and checked it out. A couple good threads on THT and another fishing site about it. I'm not convinced from those comments.

X2.

Where did it go? Rather drain it like the little springs on a plane. I`ve been avoiding e10 like the plague. Pay now.

Danny,
I can send you the complete file of the de-slackerization process.

I like your idea of a tourney.

I may have a few local ringers. Honestly distributed Natch.

I also like the idea of an open and inclusive all fish with classes. What fun is it having a gathering without learning lots of new things?

Cheers,
GFS

Michael Barry was the speaker at the Club last Wed. I used to wait on his Dad at the Tavern back in the day. Great folks with big hearts. Saw him at the show.

I so want to deep drop for Swordies. He is a great guy who shared some mojo. Aussie rigged with flax. They do slap their meals if even dead.

His rig and presentation is indeed well thought out.

Anybody heard from Brian and the 21?

Cheers,
GFS

Save your money, use the boat or leave it empty and I switched to bombadier fuel line from the silver when I switched and no issues. Honest not a hicup, you do have to use the boat often which is hard for northern guys so leave it empty, no option
