Sucks, but need to clear out some space. My cousin and I shared this dive boat, runs great just need space and with kids not getting out enough. Made some good runs from Albion to Elk with 4 guys. Lots of fun and easy to launch. Lowrance Elite 5 Chirp for finding great structure. asking $5k

This is a great thread is wish I saw it 2 months ago. Basically all the research I have done I could have got in this thread. Solar makes sense for me also buy not rent. I'm re-roofing prior to I stalling the system and my roofer is going to set all of my stand offs in the roofing. I'm going to install the panels on a snapnrack system myself. Payback without considering PGE rate hikes is just under 5 years. 

Keys:
- make sure a roofer looks at your roof prior to letting solar be installed so much more expensive if you need a new roof in 5 years.
- Cal fire setback 36" from ridge on 3 sides of gable roof and 2 sides of hip.

Great info Jerry thanks.

Anyone know of a boat safety/boat Captains course. I'd be interested in learning how to safely operate a boat as we as learn about tides, swells and other dangers of being in the ocean. 

8-12 guys, we are all bay area, but are open to drive 1-2 hours if it makes a big difference in fishing.

Anything in the Bay Area coming up? East bay or peninsula? Just picked up the 5 chirp and would love to actually know how to use it.

The penn battle is on sale @ American fishing legacy its 59.99 I think

they do, good heads up. They don't have the 5000 only the 4000 and the 6000. Is the 4000 enough is the 6000 to much/heavy.

FYI - lowrance elite 4, 5 & 9 on sale West Marine. It's combo unit FF/chart plotter with transducer. The 5 is $399. Seems like a good deal.

Cabela's has their fish eagle series of rods all 50% off right now. Anyone had any experience with them? Look specifically at the spinning and salmon/steelhead rods.
