I agree with your premise of weakening the dollar, but, the Federal Reserve does not print money. The Federal Reserve is a PRIVATE bank, which loans money to the Govt.

captainmaniac is correct. The only thing I will add, is that most of these banners are served to you based on your browsing history. Now, don't go off saying that you never looked for Russian babes, I'm not saying you did. What I am saying, is that if you visit another site served by AdBrite, they w...

I am also replaceing fuel tanks in my F-30. If you go with these PE tanks, here is the question you will need to ask yourself every time you board: Is that smell from the PE tank ? Or do I have a real fuel leak ?

Wow, didn't think anybody but my wife and family were from Gallipolis !

The guy I originally contacted to remove the motors stood me up (see last post) so I had to find someone else to pull them.

Can anyone tell me about this mount ? The boat is an F30 Clean Machine. It was repowered sometime before I bought it with PleasureCraft Marine Ford 351c. These are the aft mounts.
