Re: “KAMALLA ……URRRRR FIRED!!!!

This is true of all politicians and why we do not have a true democracy. All politicians need funding from their constituents in order to be elected.

Not unique and definitely not a special trait with Trump.

A new bass boat & trailer will cost $100+/mo for reg and tax. That is $6K+ for a 5 year period. That seems a little excessive. Anyone who can justify the CA tax is off their rocker. At what point is too much? How much do we have to pay in taxes and deductions before we lose our citizenship title?

It is feasible that 25 and 30yrs ago there were two lakes in CA that had a pure strain of each. Unfortunately, if the results were only based on DNA and not the phenotype the results will be only so accurate. The fact is we have a mixture of the two and so does most of the world.

It depends on the application. For the average newer boat in the 20-21ft range I would go with 3 X 12V 100ah batteries for the TM and stay with a high-quality AGM for the cranking. You may need a charger depending on what you have. The cost is anywhere from $2200-3500.

The pitch depends on the lower unit gear ratio that you have. If it’s the lower option, higher numerically then you can run a higher pitch prop. With the lower gear you should run a 23-24 pitch 3 blade prop for maximum performance. Mercury recommends a 24 Fury or 23-24 Tempest. From my experience th...
