Tror att alla marinhandlare i Sverige sålde slut på det mest de också. 
 

Hörde rykte om att plast som ”råvara” gått upp kraftigt, vilket kan göra båtar dyrare nästa år. Något någon annan hört? Lasse?

Dels har priset (i alla fall tillfälligt) dubblerats och dels råder brist på platsråvara. Jag köper en del plastemballage, dunkar o fat. Fick vänta länge på leverans av fat vid senaste beställning pga materialbrist. Tillverkarna tror iaf att det är tillfälligt.

This famous black N-282 Argo/Johnson Stinger V4..Offshore race boat won a lot of races 1972.

The pilot was Ulla Maria Smeds and Sari Seppälä was her co-pilot. I did see the girls take the overall win in Nådendal, Finland same year.

The two girls where like Rock Stars in Finland..

Måste fråga, på den fina Cobran, är det en fettspruta där på "innerskärmen"?

[Lundgren]

Med fästen å allt! Misstänker att det är till upphängningen.

Igår var vi på födelsedagsfest på bryggan hemma hos Dawn.

Massor av folk..säker 75 personer. Mycket trevligt och perfekt ställa att ha fest.

Enda problemet var när man serverade mat och alla gick till samma sida av bryggan.

Vissa blev blöta om fötterna..!!

Spännande liv..

Scot Hunsaker..en gammal bekant från Y-dock kontaktade mig idag.

Han ägde en SeaRay 460 Sundancer med Volvo Penta motorer. Låg många år på Y-dock.

Han skickade båten till Florida för 4-5 år sen och gjorde the Great Loop.

För två år sen sålde han allt: 

Hus, firma, båt bilar etc.

Köpte en ny Azimut 66 och reser runt på denna farkost.

Just nu är dom i the North-East och skall sakta ta sig tillbaka till Florida inför vintern.

Deras Azimut och en bild på Scot & hans fru.

Har nu hans FB privata sida där man kan följa deras levende.

Kul att läsa om Scots äventyr..

Dom vände söder ut häromdagen och räknar med att vara i Key West den sjätte Januari 2022

 

Each pink dot is a marina. We either stopped there on the way up or will on the way back.

Ponza är en liten fin ö en bra bit ut från fastlandet. Stora höjdskillnader. Jobbigt att gå. Men vackert.

Kollade en grannarnas Stihl gräsklippare en längre stund.

Han kom ut och frågade om jag tänkte stjäla den..med lite humor..!!

Kanske något för mig..men behöver ju motionen också..

[Lars Ström]

 

Känns lite som detta vänder sig till mycket unga människor. Dom vill you bara ha en smartphone..så Vi får hoppas att pappa kliver in..!!

[Speedy]

Är ju bra att få in båtintresset i tidig ålder på kommande generationer så... inget fel i det... 

[Jens]

Jag tycker bara att det är såå konstigt att lägga ner ob tillverkning och sen komma med det det här "nya"....

[Lars Ström]

@Jens

 

Allt BRP gör är konstigt..!!

[Lars Ström]

Florida Rick har hottat upp båten lite nu när det fått två nya powerhead.

 

 

[Lars Ström]

Ganska fantastiskt vad denna snubbe ställde till med..blir ju lite full i skratt att läsa om äventyret..som ofta kommer dom hit från dom större städerna..

 

Columbia Man Involved In Wild Chase Identified As Kenneth Rybolt

Lake Ozark police are releasing the name of a Columbia man accused of trying to steal multiple cars, including a police car, and a PWC on Saturday.

But the whole thing started with a call from Kohl’s Department Store about shoplifting.

"This one was a little bit more bizarre, it involved a lot more people and it was a whole lot more dangerous than a typical shoplifting call" says Lake Ozark Police Chief Gary Launderville.

He tells KRMS News when officers got to Kohl’s 26-year-old Kenneth Rybolt rammed a police car and headed toward Bagnell Dam before crashing into another car "it just showed he had no regard for anybody's safety, including his own."

Rybolt was arrested after the first crash, but he broke free inside the patrol car he was put in – and then took off in that car "we have a plexiglass sliding window in our cage in the car, and he was able to kick that hard enough and was able to get it unlocked. Then he climbed through the window and even once he was able to get away in the police car it was very evident that he wanted to get away because he event tried to steal the jet ski."

Investigators say Rybolt then crashed the police car near Porta Cima and then tried to steal a PWC before he was found under a dock in the lake.

Rybolt’s facing numerous charges, including First Degree Assault, Resisting Arrest and Escaping from Custody While Under Arrest.

*********More info:

Kenneth Rybolt, 26, of Columbia, is facing multiple Miller County and Camden County charges after a wild vehicle chase Saturday afternoon that ended with the suspect apprehended in the lake.

The charges from both counties resulted because the chase began in Lake Ozark/Miller County and ended in Camden County. He is currently being held in Miller County Jail.

Rybolt is facing Miller County charges of:

•First degree assault or attempt – serious physical injury.

•Resisting arrest/detention/stop by fleeing and creating a substantial risk or serious injury/death.

Camden County charges include:

•First degree assault or attempt – serious physical injury.

•Two charges of tampering with a motor vehicle in the first degree.

•Resisting arrest/detention/stop by fleeing and creating a substantial risk or serious injury/death.

•Escaping or attempting to escape from custody while under arrest for a felony.

•Careless and imprudent driving involving an accident.

•Burglary in the second degree.

•Tampering with an airplane/motorboat in the first degree.

•Property damage in the second degree.

The scenario

A little after 3 p.m. today, Saturday, the Lake Ozark Police Department responded to a call of shoplifting at Kohl’s Department Store in Eagles’ Landing.

The reporting party was an employee just getting off work and was in the parking lot when he called the LOPD. The reporting party was being followed by the suspect into the Marcus Theatre parking lot. Two of the LOPD officers arrived, blocked in the suspect car (later determined to be stolen from Columbia a week prior) when the suspect rammed one of LOPD cars and got away.

The pursuit ensued on Bagnell Dam Blvd. where the suspect hit another vehicle in traffic head-on in the Break Time/JB Hooks area. The suspect then left the scene and drove down past the post office and instead of turning into Woods Supermarket, drove straight off the roadway, down an incline and then went off the first layer of the cliff above the Rt. MM highway, stopping just short of going off the cliff onto MM highway.

The suspect got out of car, ran to the MM stoplight, attempted to carjack a car at the stoplight and was finally apprehended by one of our officers and Miller County deputy. The suspect was handcuffed behind his back and shackled around his ankles and placed in the back seat of our car. Somehow the suspect was able to get his hands from behind his back (still cuffed), broke the cage partition and was able to climb in the driver’s seat and took off with the LOPD car over the Community Toll Bridge.

A Miller County deputy and an LOPD officer had to run back up the hill to the Miller County squad car since they did not have sight of the LOPD car. In the meantime, Camden County received a call from a resident in Porto Cima that a LOPD car was crashed and the suspect attempted to steal their car. The suspect also broke into an unoccupied house in that neighborhood, stole a key for a personal watercraft and was attempting to steal that PWC when the Missouri State Water Patrol pulled up. The suspect jumped into the water and was trying to hide under a dock. An LOPD officer jumped into the water and re-apprehended the suspect (still cuffed and shackled).

“Thankfully, no one was injured in this entire incident. We have two cars with damage,” Police Chief Gary Launderville said.

The stolen car from Columbia is totaled and full of property that has probably been stolen, according to the chief. The car that was hit head-on by the suspect has extensive damage. Those people were checked out by medics and released.

Both Miller and Camden County will be getting statements of probably cause from the LOPD and both prosecutors are expected to file numerous charges.

Columbia Police Department has been contacted and is familiar with the suspect.

En bekant till mig har en 1992 års Four Winns  Horizon 22 med OMC King Cobra drevet.

Något fel på bl.a powertrimmet.

Han tyckte jag skulle köpa den av honom så tog en titt på grunkan idag..

 Nää..inget för mig..allt för slitet.

Även om jag fick den var det nej tack.
