Re: Plane missing in Antarctica
Add my candle to the light. Get home soon Bob. Add me too. They're sitting in the back of that plane frozen damn near solid getting a little warm liquids into them from they're little camp stove.

Re: Porta-bote
I got one with a 2hp Honda , slows you down a bit but other than that you don't really notice it out there. Very easy to strap onto the floats. There is a fair amount of space needed inside too cause you have to haul the seats and transom. Tough little boat though. Quite slow with only a 2hp!

Re: When an airplane doesn't sell?
Maybe you should put it in the AIRCRAFT FOR SALE category! You have almost 1300 views on this topic but can't seem to spit out what your selling! If that doesn't work put it on a Ritchie Bros Auction You will find out what it's worth there!
