I don't worry about the fuel burn on that boat neither does his owner! Mine is 300 litres full and possibly 2 to 3 litres per hour .

Call me small minded, but my idea of luxury is not giving beggars in India 10 rupees (A$0.20), rather I prefer to take 'em into a cafe and feed the crap out 'em. Make 'em feel like kings & queens. Craps on owning a 500 ft Riviera !

The post was about a remote volume for my stereo! Cost me $100 on eBay. Will be a luxury in my cockpit.

Wow! A fixed am/fm radio with a wired remote? Is that the 1980's calling?

The best sound system on my boat!

I think you got ripped. The RRP on the GME web site is $79.95.

Previous topic I asked about Bluetooth speakers for radios. I now have the set up I purchased the Bluetooth broadcast that treck suggest but the jack on my old gme was output only you can get an adapter also from jcar that connects to either the front or rear speakers and gives you an earphone jack which you need to plugr the Bluetooth transmitter into. I ended up purchasing a new fusion stereo as well it also connects to nmea 2000 .so now I have Bluetooth speakers in the cockpit which can be replaced anywhere on the boat and also the stereo is able to be controlled via my multi function display on the helm. Exactly what I wanted.

I'd rather have the boat, beggars always remind me of the sign at the zoo that says "Please Do Not Feed The Animals", it's not my job to feed the poor in foreign countries that's a problem for their own government, and if their government doesn't care about them, then why should I.

It is people like you who perpetuate the cycle of poverty these beggars live with constantly, O.K. you fed a group of beggars a feast once, I ask what were they doing the next day, they were back out on the street begging for money, until people stop handing out freebies they have no incentive to get of their backsides and not only earn a living but also earn some self respect for themselves, you may feel good by doing more harm than you could possibly realise the pathway to hell is pave with the good intentions of people who refuse to see passed the immediate problems to the underlining causes. P.S Just an explaination of my position for those who would condemn without thought.

Son, you are talking through your nether region so as to justify your unique selfishness.
Don't owe you or anybody else explations but ......18 years x 364 days non stop x over one million AUD $'s, built dwellings, bought sewing machines for ladies to give them a job, bought a motor scooter for a poor g.p. , could go on and on.....but the really sad thing is that I found it necessary to justify myself to a person of the calibre you clearly are. It all comes down to breeding and my self respect causes me to BEG the Seabreeze moderators/ management to ban me for life. Formal request to the mods....please ban me for life because this individual is a vexation to the spirtit of many.
Pity for you is beneath me.
