I have a 12rh13 two blade and I'm still not that satisfied with mine.. and we don't have that much current to deal with here where I'm at... maybe I just don't have the RPM's that I need... this is an issue that I'm certainly hoping to resolve...
of course beings it's out of the water and it wont be back till May some time... it will be a long wait.
I've even given thought to a Max Prop... although I might have to sell off one of my children... I find that I have very little control in reverse and with a good head wind I'm just not going anywhere fast.
Thanks Mark for the info... will stay tuned

Shannon... cool idea... I'm sure we could come up with a computer link to a high speed internet connection... and a couple of cameras... that should work... just have to see if there's a hook up at the marina... or maybe get some local computer business that would like to do that for us as a promo.... coooooollll

I also use the Garmin 276c... its a great little unit that you can take in all of your travels... weather by land or sea... it's dual purpose... there is a Canadian outlet on the web that has the best prices... I'll have to get it... I have it at home... they were at the Toronto Boat show and they were lined up four deep all weekend with people buying.

Re: Promotion of new site (11 replies, posted in Site Support/Comments)
Hi Adrian
First of all "GREAT JOB" on the new site... and thanks for volunteering... it looks great... However I have a couple of questions...
1) Are you going to try and keep a main page like "Pockecruisers.com" where anyone can link to this forum... and where we could have pictures of the different events where our little sail boats could proudly be displayed.
2) Would this main page accommodate all small cruisers like the way it dose now?
Sorry for bring this up... I just feel that if Pocket cruisers are totally going down that it would be nice to keep the valuable info that's there and maybe build a new looking site.
Thanks

It looks like you had an alcohol stove... what happen... it also looks like it was too close to the bulk head... I'm only saying this because I'm thinking of doing the same thing... and it would be nice to know from your experience to maybe avoid a situation... thanks
