i love my commercial discounts on audio gear... ordered the stuff to make a 50' Y Stereo 3.5mm jack split so that one iPhone, iPod, Phone can play on 2 boats.. this is an expandable setup will cost $8 to add 2 more runs.. with 3 day UPS shipping to get here in time for the 4th it cost me $20.. yes i will post pics and information once it arrives.. i was too excited to not post...

i also dont know about the rest of yall but i am so ready for 4 days of boating in a row and multiple fire works shows.. and friends coming in from out of town........

Be safe and make sure all of your saftey gear is up to date and those fire extinguishers are full and in date

That's really nice. Where do people buy these? I have never seen one before.

My buddy and I stream our iTunes between our boats. He has a router mounted in his boat and we each have an AirPort Express plugged into the Aux outlet on our boat stereos. We can then stream from our iTunes on our MacBook Air laptops. It works great and I love not having battling music between boats.

Wow that's pretty amazing....I did a little research (as I know nothing about oyster shucking...or knives) and it turns out you make the best looking Oyster shucking knives on the internet based on a poll of my closest freinds....however the question arose "but do they work?" I couldn't answer since I don't know how or why to shuck an oyster...I live in the desert and rarely get to see oysters so I googled it and can see that your shucking knives would be perfect....and now I want oysters in the worst way....I may have to move.

They work great, I made 48 the first year I was making them. November 2014 will mark 2 years producing knives. I'm young in the industry. Just wait till I have been doing this for 30+ year.

Most popular model. This design is about 50% of my orders

I got the the hydrofoil installed, it took about 15min total mainly was drilling time. I'm hoping that I see good results as they have always performed well on my past boats.

Installed the rear hard Bimini supports. Got fiberglass all in my arms. That's the nature of the beast. The push button mounts are so worth the money.

Not sure where you buy your material for knives for but we actually sell material for knife makers.
