Is a flippin' switch just a gimmick??
Flippin switches have been around since the early 80's when Garcia introduced them on the Ultra Mag XL plus reels. Technically if you're flipping, you have a set amount of line out and there's no need to disengage the spool. The better term for the switch is a pitching switch. I've had a reel with one for years. I can pitch without it but I'd rather not. I can't count the number of times a fish hit the lure the second it hit the water and having the reel instantly engaged made all the difference.

The Consitution is Illegal (True Story)
Schools seem to pre-occupied these days with rooting out the next disenfranchised student that's gonna walk through the door, guns ablazing, instead of teaching kids math, SPELLING, good grammar, geography and everything else they're supposed to cram down your throat in order to prep you for college. Now they're going too far over the line. It really was more fun in my day. Despite the fear of the paddle, punishments by the school that my parents would've backed 100% and absolutely NO lawyers ready to sue the school for the slightest possible human rights violation, we had fun.

i plan to buy my first boat..
A 25 foot boat with a kitchen isn't exactly a bass boat, not a canoe or a tube either. Not sure you're on the right forum for questions for that size of a boat That said... I had a friend buy a Tahoe 22 foot deck boat and pulled it with a full size Dodge Ram van. That boat was a handful going down the road with that van.

OOooooHH!!!! What does anyone think of the new BPS Pro Qualifier??
As you said, this is just an upgraded Extreme. I'm not sure the price diff is worth all the extra $$.

Cardboard shipping tubes, where to get one?
You can get a 2" diameter PVC tube, 8ft long at Lowes for around $4. I've used those to ship a single rod or 2.

The most overrated, crappy band on the planet?
Agreed, but consider the source. These guys weren't even born (ok, Matt was in diapers) when Hotel California came out. You can't expect them to have any sort of perspective or appreciation for what that sound meant when it was new. And I wish somebody would tell my 18 year old that the Eagles are overrated and crappy so she would quit stealing my CDs. I totally agree. What's interesting is the kids today are still listening to the stuff that I was listening to when I was their age. When I ask my 19 year old, he says it's because my music was just that good and that much of the music out today sucks.

Spider bites
What you're seeing is the aftermath of a Brown Recluse bite I received 5 years ago on the side of my right calf. That scab in the middle has been there the whole time, it covers a hole that goes into my leg. The area around it is scar tissue from the flesh that got eaten up by the venom. It was almost twice as large right after the bite. I never even knew I'd been bitten. Got what looked a pimple. It got bigger with the classic red ring around it. My calf swelled to about twice normal size and I could barely walk into the doctors office. They lanced and drained the thing immediately. Dead flesh and the nastiest smell you've ever smelled. I now know what a dead body smells like (there's no other smell like it). The area continued to experience tissue loss as the spiders toxins remained. The flesh eating component is pretty amazing and scary at the same time. Finally it stopped. It slowly healed (about a year total). I'm very, very cautious when I work around the house now. I've probably spotted at least a dozen more of the buggers since.

Both the Brussels Sprouts and the container they're in need to be tossed in the trash. How do you eat something that smells like **** when it's cooking?

91 ranger 391v 2000yahama 200 need good and bad
Those 300 series Rangers weren't great in rough water. Hope speed wasn't on the top of your list. Handling OK. The OX66's were good motors. The boat will be a good, flat fishing platform.

Can resin be applied to plywoood decking
The resin for fiberglass work, like the stuff Walmart sells, is not the ideal covering I'd use. That particular resin doesn't have a lot of rigidity as a stand alone coating. It would be much better to use epoxy resin.
