    Aluminum boat builders - why have they become so greedy???

    I can understand that the prices have to go up a little but they should be leveraged on the current price of aluminum shouldn't they? Example - a Silver streak 18'6 challenger HT ran 60k all in with new power back in 2018. Present day they are going for 120k even though the price of aluminum...

    Do you have a vacmaster? Quick question.

    I am almost positive that my vacuum made it to the M, past the green section when I first got the machine… what does your machine get to? Mine doesn’t get to the end of the green at this point.

    I have used a Henkel blue one, Ballarini, Calphalon and a Tfal. They all seem to last maybe a couple years before they lose the nonstick property and you need to start cooking with lots of oil again. My Miss's isn't a huge fan of cooking with oil so I am trying to find another frypan to try...

    Vacmaster and ‘soft meat’. Ideas???

    Well I tried to seal some venison and noticed that it was surrounded with air like the herring I just tried to do. Sucking time is about 40sec and seal is 1.3 and cool is 2.5 VP215. I also noticed that the needle doesn’t go past the end line (I thought it used to go to the ‘M’ of the MPa)
