Title: Need some ideas
Post by: theomen on April 01, 2004, 10:17:14 PM: I bought a 27\' sailboat a couple weeks ago, and am currently moding the interior. I\'m installing an indash DVD player, Cerwin Vega system and 15" lcd monitor this weekend, and need some ideas of stuff that might be cool to have on a boat. I\'m thinking about installing smaller tv\'s in each of the bunks, but need some other ideas. Maybe an XM Radio system, since I don\'t get shit for FM reception on the water, anyone have experience with these?

Damn omen, I didn\'t know you had it like that.

Cor, it\'s a Catalina 27, it\'s similar to this

Post by: luckee on April 02, 2004, 12:48:15 PM: I dont really have any ideas except for tailoring it any way you want. It\'s a boat..its already a pussy magnet. :D

On that note, I do envy you as I have wanted a boat for years. My car thing just kinda keeps me away.

Have as much fun as I know I would!

Post by: Coredweller on April 02, 2004, 05:04:30 PM: Have you taken the full range of boat handling and celestial navigation courses? Where are you keeping the boat, and where are you taking it? To me the coolest thing about owning a vessel like that is travelling with it. However, I wouldn\'t consider going anywhere without a strong understanding of navigation.

I\'m learning as I go. Right now it\'s docked in my the lake in my town, which is ranked as one of the most beautiful lakes in the states, so it\'ll be good enough until I get the courage and skill to go blue water with it. I still get a little butt puckering when it heels over to anything over 20 degrees, and guess it can go 30-35 al day.

JOP;
I think I\'m going to call it the Incolent Bitch. Only idea I had so far.

edit*
Vid, I\'ll tell you this, I\'ve been on all types of Vessels, and NOTHING gives you more of an adreneline rush than a sail boat. When that sum bitch leans over (heels), everyone on the boat knows for a fact, that they are all going to die. Last weekend I almost put the rails in the water, and damn near had a heart attack.

Post by: videoholic on April 02, 2004, 07:16:37 PM: I\'ve ridden on a sailboat a few times and I couldn\'t wait to get back. I have to say it is nice being so quiet though. Too much freaking work though. They are hell to upkeep and a ton of work to take out. You have to really enjoy it to want one. Best two days of a boaters life are the day they buy and the day they sell.

Three words: GI GO LO

Post by: theomen on November 30, 2004, 12:22:08 PM: yeah, that is TITan

anyways, at the school I make decent money, but not enough for my toys, like the boat, my home theater etc... So I make up the extra money with other things, I fix DRE PS2\'s and sell them on ebay for a profit of about %200, I buy electronics during huge sales then turn around and sell them on ebay, I work as a personal trainer, I fix computers on and off, and a few times I even stripped (as documented on the boards).

I knew that was you :eek:

Your ideas are pretty good. I should get into that kind of business during college and make some good money.

DeAnna, funny how you left out "god dammit" :p Look under the avatar at the kitten with the two buckets. Chizzy was once the "Resident Feline Slayer", so me with my extravagent sense of humor, added "Chizzy\'s Slave" :)

Eventually, I\'m changing my title and avatar. If I change the avatar to a pair of tits or something, there isn\'t much sense for me to keep Chizzys Slave, now is there.

Post by: DeAnna on November 30, 2004, 01:50:50 PM: Well, no...but I wasn\'t sure if they would change your title and your avatar at the same time, or if you were just gonna get a new slave avatar, or think of a better title. So many options...
