Problem with the "Rent em when you want to use em" idea is ther are no lakes within 2+ hours of me where you can do that, the only boat rental in San Diego are ocean or bay rentals so I'd still have to tow em to use em. But thanks for thinking of other options. I've got at least 4 boatable lakes within an hour of me. One as close as 10 minutes away, the ocean is just 10 minutes the other way.

interesting I got a doube post but it never cleared the writing/editing screen!?!!!? My browser was totally hung, I had to close it and re-open it.... hmmmmph.......

thanks for the tip, I was not belittling the need for speed I just could not picture me hitting 70 crossing lake Hodges w/out beaching her LOL. Yeah I am veeeeeerrrry early in this process. One thing I am looking at in the aftermarket realm is the possiblity if an in deck live well. Most of the 24/25 footers (my personal choice for the size) were set up more as party barges which is not what I am looking for. I want more of a focus on fishing and as open a deck plan as I can get that still accommodates people.......along with the obligatory onboard grill, coolers......but still need deck space to bring da boyz onbaord when I choose put her in the bay.

I appreciate all your inputs so far. While I understand the idea of not under powering the boat, LOL 70 nph is ludicrous! This will be a boat used for fishing on lakes 99% of the time. Speed is not my main concern, like I said the primary purpose for this boat is fishing and taking the family out on the lake to “tool” around.

Looking at buying a pontoon boat for fishing. Anyone out there have/use one? Recommendations, aftermarket must haves?

! My thoughts exactly.

I have a room not all that different from your dimensions and I use Al K's Universal and find it to be quite pleasing. I will say this Al's Universals have an identifiable sound to them. I can pick it out immediately when listening to a set of Klipschorns, LS or Belle Klipsch.

Whooa stay safe.

I too became captivated watching Curling in this Olympics. Oddly enough it was my wife who got hooked initially then I watched a match with her and the talking heads did a pretty good job of explaining it. I’d love to see us be able to field a competitive team for the next Winter Olympics. And yes Larry the Chinese team is a “professional” Curling team.

Good news it is back in Hope, Bad news I can't make it this year due to some scheduling conflicts. You guys rock for putting this back in Hope though.

OK So I got the ext hard drive up and formatted. iMovie sees it and moving, got my video or at least have started moving it. Now I got another inquiry for all you Mac'sh types. In iPhoto is there a way to move my existing photos to the ext HD other than exporting them. Seems when I do that I cannot view them in iPhoto. From what I am experiencing now it seems I have to re-import all my photos from my camera memory stick to the ext HD using iPhoto and then delete then from the laptop HD. Any idea’s?

R U selling these?

SF, Great news, glad you cheked in, I'll raise a glass to ya tonight and play a couple tunes. Don't be a stranger

Not entirely sure but I think the AL network iteration for your LS is the AL2. My 84's had straight AL's in them. Trey would be the one to comment one which network was designed for which drive combo.

OK here is one for ya. Heresies in my jeep, Heesies in my jeep, I'm giddy as a school girl with my Heresies in my jeep! []

I was agreement with you. I can play command line on a PC but you can't fill a thimble with what I know about a Unix box.

No thanks. An end user at home shouldn't have to go through that. !

ummm thanks.......not sure what to say other than [:|] [:^)]

\Actually you may not be too far off. The drive is a FAT drive, I did not format it for a MAC when I set it up. I am wondering if the MAC can see it but MAC's native APP's such as the iLife suite cannot see it, if it is not formatted for a MAC. That is a very fixable solution, I can reformat ths drive for a MAC, it will never be connceted to a PC, @ $90 it is just to cheep to get a second one if a need to connect to a PC arises. Thanx for the link I just registered for that forum.

There is a drop down box but the only option listed is the MAC HD.

Are you using a Sony HD camcorder ? No I am using a Canon

OK so here is a question for all my Mac friends. I am for at least a while relegated to using my wife school district Mac to do my video editing. The problem with that is I need to be able to import my files directly to an external HD. I have an external USB 1TB HD. The Mac recognizes the HD just fine. I can copy files to it and save to it with no problems. The problem is when I use iMovie to import my AVCHD codec files, I do not have an option to import them directly to the external HD, I can only import them to the Mac HD. Then I have to copy them to the ext HD and delete them from the Mac HD. Once I do this I can no longer edit the movies in iMovie it does not see the drive. When I view the files on the HD I can only do so with Quicktime, and cannot edit them. The Mac is loaded with OS X 10.4.1.1 upgrading or updating the OS is not an option. Any idea's??
