You're a man I'd love to drink a beer and cook BBQ with. We moved from Austin, TX to Flagstaff, AZ. BBQ is much tougher here at 7000ft! I'm also huge into aviation, but had to stop working on my PPL for a while to work through some health stuff. Can you elaborate on what you mean by first going into butcher paper, and then wrapping in foil? Are you wrapping in butcher paper, going back on the pit, and then pulling at a later time to throw in foil, or do you mean you're doing both at the same time and using the butcher paper as a buffer to keep the brisket from sitting in juices inside?
@boomerantics95862 ай бұрын
Thank you, Dan! I hope you get back to flying soon! You have it with the latter. I start fat cap down but go fat cap up when I wrap. The butcher paper helps keep the seasoning in place while also wrapped in foil. After I pull the brisket, I rotate the brisket again while resting and the seasoning (not quite a bark anymore) firms up a bit. Let me know when you want to BBQ & drink a beer and have a great Independence Day!

I'm looking at buying M20C Ranger to finish my instrument. I previously owned a Grumman Tiger and a V35B for 17 years. The M20C's seem to be undervalued for some reason. Any thoughts on using this platform for finishing my instrument rating? I like their simplicity and fuel economy.
@boomerantics95864 ай бұрын
Hello Mike. I’ve no time in Grummans and it’s been a long time since I flew a Bonanza or gave any instrument instruction so I can’t give a fair comparison of the Mooney to the aircraft you’re familiar with. I’ve also never flown a Mooney in IMC to make an assessment there. I would say that, as an instrument platform, the Mooney is probably not much different than any other low wing, complex aircraft for instrument training & IFR flight. In fact, it will not “hunt” as I recall Bonanzas doing in turbulence. Whatever aircraft you pick will probably either have been originally equipped with or upgraded to a standard “T” panel if not glass. That’s an inconvenience of older Mooneys if they haven’t been updated is that they may have a scatter panel.Yes, it is also very economical , especially if you don’t mind flying at power settings that keep the CHT’s happy. Keep your eyes peeled, a very low time Mooney may come to market soon though it is not equipped for instrument flight. 😉

@boomerantics95864 ай бұрын
Hello, Suzy, and thank you! On this day of reasonably good sailing, the passage was about five or six hours. Your next question is difficult to answer as it depends on a number of factors such as experience, budget, desired features, personal preference, etc. Generally, the longer the waterline, the faster the boat and the heavier the boat, the easier the motion but there is far more to consider. For safety, much also depends on how you intend to sail your boat. A small, light boat is perfectly safe to sail on Lake Michigan if properly handled in carefully chosen conditions while the largest of vessels have succumbed to disaster in the same waters. I’m sorry I can make no recommendation but best wishes in finding a boat best for you.

My great grand parents (dad's site) made a homestead near the lighthouse and had 13 children on the island. One son died near the lighthouse shoreline, from diabetes. On a family trip there we found the home's foundation, very near the lighthouse. They sold wood to passing steamers and moved off the island when there were no more tall trees to cut down. Enjoy your videos very much, just need to wind up that engine to get through those bridges quicker...LOL.

How fast does the wind need to be before you can stop motoring
@boomerantics95866 ай бұрын
Hello again, Ramey Family. It’s a bit difficult to answer objectively as much depends on your hurry. I know sailors who motor if their speed over the ground drops below 3.5 - 4 kts and that speed may vary depending on the point of sail for any given true wind speed and the sea state. For a boat like this, however, 8 - 10 kts of wind will keep you moving and 10 -12 kts will move you with some alacrity.

@@boomerantics9586 thanks. I’m looking into an IP485 and I was wondering if it was gonna need a Solent rig with a 170 instead of a cutter rig I’m also concerned about the aluminum fuel tanks and the chain plates being fiberglass we in. You know, IP stuff. But it’s a big purchase so I’m trying to ask other owners how they feel about it
@boomerantics95866 ай бұрын
@@RameyFamily Hello, Ramey Family. The chainplates and fuel tank are valid concerns and will depend largely on how well the boat's been cared for. Around the time the 485's went into production the chainplates had been upgraded to an improved and annealed stainless alloy which improved their longevity with, reportedly, no known failures since. Mack Yacht Services specializes in chainplate replacement as well as other IP service work and might be a good resource if you get to that point. As for the rig, I'd approach the 485 as a motorsailer leaning toward sailboat. We had a build slot for a new 439 with an option on one of the first 529's, the warmed over 485/525. Funny enough, among the reasons we canceled our slot was because IP all but refused to build our boat with a cutter rig so you'll get your Solent rig if you buy new. The 529 was to have gone into production in '22 but, to my knowledge, hasn't yet. If buying used, IMHO, for any dubious gain in performance from a hull designed for comfort by attempting to alter the rig, your money would be better spent on a small inventory of specialized sails such as a screecher/code zero, gennaker, etc. that can be hoisted on one of those spare halyards already included with the rig. Best wishes and have a dandy day!

@@boomerantics9586 yes I was in line for a next gen as well. But the steep price hikes for them are all but taking them off the table for me. Why by a 439 when I can get a lot more boat from a used 485 for half the price. It’s a relief about the chain plates. That’s good news. And I think you are right, a bigger sail would do just fine. I love sailing to places and I hate having my motor running but from what I understand is that it’s a lot more motoring than sailing on ALOT of boats anyways.
