1. The Marketplace Forums can be useful for members who know one another well from forum discussions and offline communications and wish to post boatbuilding tools, drafting tools, molds and tooling, and other professional equipment for sale or trade. However, caution and good judgement should always be used. Especially when considering any business with anyone not already well known to you and trusted, due diligence must be used to confirm details and identity and be sure the transaction is safe before any money or property changes hands. Always use good judgement and perform due dilligence and follow these guidelines.

My little piece of peace

    Sorry....you didnt do your research before becoming a boat nut.

    Girls dont like boats........its masochistic.

    Girls prefer the beach, shopping , a fully loaded Visa card and the finer things in life.

    Hi Hoyt,
    - - - WTF - - - Typing vigorously for 5 minutes, look up and nothing but "Hi Hoyt"

    So good to see someone whose lady is full of smiles and happily aboard enjoying herself...

    Next person on board may be a better first mate on CNO? Never give up, keep trying...

    I have a new (as in different) vehicle a 'ford Longreach' - looks like it was made with cheap tin-plate except they forgot to apply the lead/tin coating over the paper thin steel which is producing multiple rust boils like a sickly kid with pustules everywhere - hope it lasts a couple of months... - the engine is HUGE - I am told bored/stroked out to 4.8 litre straight six that has been worked upon for the "young Jackaroo" market... Will not impress this old fuddy duddy but apart from replacing the windscreen @Au$358, a cheap piece for mobility...

    Hi Moggy,
    Wrong "visa" - I mean the visa stamp on my passport to enter and exit the countries... Cairns to Samarai and after some 60 days, Samarai to Cairns?

    There is your problem. Get a black one, I find that one works the best.

    :D

    oh well Mas

    I had no luck here either, damn, and I started advertising BEFORE I started building.

    :D

    Truth be told - I really enjoy the little time that I actually do get out alone on the water, gives me time to think and I get back home with a much clearer mind - good therapy.

    It happened here when we went off the gold standard. What once cost a nickel now costs a buck. That is confiscation but more sneaky and harder for the dumb ones to catch on.

    Mas...

    You cannot take 10% out of a banking system that runs near a 1% reserve ratio, think about it, the money is not there. No money is going anywhere here, it would simply be a book keeping entry reducing the banks liabilities so that less capital is required to bring the reserve ratio back to "safe" levels and make the bank "solvent" again. The alternate, sans government support, is a broke bank and a 100% haircut, so it is hardly theft, depositors lent money to an unviable business and lost it, a common story.

    Read Mises.org and research the economic implications of moral hazard, then maybe you will see where the real issue lies here.

    Don't be too hard on the ill educated, you number among them, I can see that and I consider myself to be very much less that adequately educated despite a life time of experience, this is complex.

    Hi Moggy,
    I think you miss the point. The savers are to get a "haircut" so the spendthrift deeply in-debt 'bathplugs' will get away with fraud & robbery again but with a different winkle (those who do the theft get others to make restitution) - - The usual system is to commit theft by inflation, so when the 'banksters' reduce inflation to a negative value (on paper) the 'banksters' must invent another ponzi like scheme to accumulate their undeserved revenue from the work and effort of the workers making something useful...

    My estimates put global derivatives - - mostly created in USA by the banksters, as they seem immune from prosecution in USA, but because they are "AAA" rated are sold all around the globe - - at something between 700 trillion and 14 quadrillion (which is double 700 trillion) on top of fiscal obligations of various countries like 70 trillion and counting for USA and "WTF" for EU, a guttural "GONONO" as to Japan, and the rest is anybodies guess (see FARKNOSE). Add it all up it is likely the equivalent of 100% of global productivity for the next 50 plus years - - - DO NOT ASK ME TO QUANTIFY or IDENTIFY it again, - The collating and figuring it out almost sent me off my rocker...

    Today's essays and reading list offers no release or real hope for the future... Portends of what we may be forced to endure may be surmised by reading as follows http://www.gata.org/node/12365 - - http://www.gata.org/node/12366 - - http://www.gata.org/node/12367 - - http://www.gata.org/node/12368 - - http://www.gata.org/node/12369 - - and then - - http://www.moneymorning.com.au/ - - along with - - http://www.dailyreckoning.com.au/ - - I somehow missed Ed Steer's Daily Gold & Silver and attached links and cartoons - Oh Well You all know where to find it - Go and have a read...
