CHP Officer Gabe Montoya said no injuries have been reported.

Anaheim resident Heidi Hardage was driving south on City Drive when she saw the boat. She stopped to snap some pictures of it.

"You don't see boats, big ol' boats like that on State College (City Drive)," Hardage said. "It's weird because boats are usually on the ocean."

Caltrans will be inspecting the bridge, said Sergeant Dan Adams with the Orange Police Department.

The accident was reported at 11:23 a.m. ]]> Check Out My Boat rdrrm8e http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/check-out-my-boat/167923-la-sherrifs-boat-tight-spot.html Saved the best for last: The final touch http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/check-out-my-boat/167470-saved-best-last-final-touch.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:52:42 GMT _Well almost finished with the long overhaul of my boat.

A James Rosborough, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, design; she is a one of a kind sailboat and has the traditional look of the Privateers built in the 1800's. She is setup for cruising and liveaboard. The boat even boasts 2 working black powder cannons.
The outter hull I had sprayed with polyurea. This stuff is amazing. It is extremely durable and dries in seconds with unlimited thickness in one application. The boat looks new. get more info advancedpolyurea@live.com I look forward to being out and about shortly. ]]> Check Out My Boat Bendopole http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/check-out-my-boat/167470-saved-best-last-final-touch.html New Boat Logo http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/check-out-my-boat/167455-boat-logo.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:38:45 GMT Check out my new boat logo...

There are already plenty of them out there, so I will aim for the Tim Taylor end of the market--brighter and more power—as well as see if I can lower costs.

What I need to hear from you guys is what do you want to see in a transom light? I can do white, blue, royal blue and green. I can emit the light in a flood or shoot out overlapping beams. Hell, I could throw light out the side of the fixture, greatly increasing the area around the back of the boat that’s lit.

I can also make about any size light. How many amps do you have to give away? ~3.5 amps will give you 12 of the latest generation white LEDs and will give you a little over 4,000 lumens.

What do you guys think about cable exit? I like the idea of going out the side and routing the wire externally rather than putting a hole in your transom, but that’s your call. As for mounting, I can put mounting ears on the lights (more holes), or you can just put some 4200 or 5200 on the light and it won’t be going anywhere.

I’ve got a couple prototypes made for the Trailer Trash—one has no optics and is straight flood while the other is a mix of wide and narrow lenses. Next will be colors. I’ll take some pics of how it turns out.

Rather than mount them on the TT, I may just cruise on down to the harbor and light up a slip & take pictures. Can anyone volunteer to let me in?

Thanks,

A regular mill would do the trick, but an NC is more fun to watch :). We can work out payment. I’m in Diamond Bar and can go to LA or OC to do the deed.

Thanks,

Kurt

PS I have a mill at my folks’ house, but can't use it for (health) reasons I’d rather not discuss publicly. ]]> Check Out My Boat Kman http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/check-out-my-boat/166120-need-mill-nc-couple-led-prototypes.html What size hull for my engine? http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/check-out-my-boat/166027-what-size-hull-my-engine.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 07:52:38 GMT Hey guys…..I bought a new tohatsu 90hp oil injected engine 2 years ago and put it on a 20ft valco westcoaster. The boat is overpowered and not the ride I had expected….bumpy and wet as hell. I have been thinking about removing it and going with fiberglass but I have no idea how big I can go with the hull.

There are no cletes or handles on this thing, and no holes where they could have been. Anyone know what's up? I've seen a few pics of similar boats online that had handles on the bow.
