Using cardboard and made use of every inch. Can you still
Post from photobucket? Good luck on the rehab. Bh

Love the old school hardtop, bit of a Bahia Mar fan. Stick with the Cummins power.
Good luck with the project and ask away that’s how to make sure you get it right. BH

Bob H.

Sounds sounds very interesting. BH

Bob H.

Chris glad to see you back on the horse...I bought parts from the molds they used to make this Bahia Mar, ocean Innovations, she was in much better shape the last time I saw her. Good luck getting her back in shape. BH

Bob H.

Not an easy job. My shoulders are still sore from all that fairing and filling. Resolutes bottom looked the same way. Nice job on the repairs.

Bob H.

Both Walter and Bluebeard were classic originals. I won his
Bucket harness at the last rendezvous in one of the raffles. Prized possession.BH

Bob H.

Resolute is a 66 hull 3/4 or better on the bottom. BH

Bob H.

I was thinking the same thing Bob. Have to get a great weather window. BH

Bob H.

John, I used 6" fiberglass exhaust with centubular muffler, along with custom made surge tubes. The engines are Cummins 6bta 370s, sounds very sweet, I would skip the muffler if I did it again. I also pitched it gradually so virtually no water is in the pipes with the exception of the very end. The ...

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Yannis 2 cups kosher salt one cup sugar 2 1/2 gallons of water dissolve on low heat let cool, place bird in brine for 8 hours. Moist n tender bird. BH

Bob H.

Flashback....few years under the keel since then. BH

Bob H.

John, I went with zf 220a. down angle 1.5:1 gear ratio, I did go with trolling valves. Make sure you put a BIG red light on dash so you or anyone else running boat won't smoke the gears when trolling valve is on. Hope this helps. BH

Bob H.

Bruce,
That couldn't have been an easy feat. I count myself blessed that Capt Pat crossed my life's path. You guys were friends for quite a long time and a friendship like that doesn't end. Thank you for keeping us posted. BH

Bob H.

Packed up the mold for the half hull and sent it on its way to a very capable steward.
Tom at Holtz Boatworks should have it by weeks end. I enjoyed getting them made and shipped
Out to a great bunch of guys. BH

Bob H.

Dug, lil O in the swing and snoozing on the bridge says it all. Enjoy. Time passes way too fast..BH
PS. Alchemy looks great well done!!!

Bob H.

Tommy sent you a pm, get me the shipping address and I will get them ready to ship. BH

Bob H.

A shot of spider cracks on the right. Sanded out part on left. BH

Bob H.

I have three or four left from the last batch. The mold could use some work, has a few spider cracks that show up in each part. A new mold may be a better option going forward. Plus the design of the mold makes pulling each part a little tough but doable. PM me with address so I can get a shipping q...

My thoughts and prayers are with you Bruce.

Capt Pat, Words alone seem useless as I try and say goodbye. I want to say THANK YOU..for inspiring me and guiding me along Resolutes journey from the guy who went to the rendezvous without a Bertram to the day I rolled her into Greenport with a nod from you on a job well done.Every time I cast off ...

Joe, That is one slob of a tuna....great job on the boat and enjoy the heck out of her.BH

Bob H.

Walther,
Here is a pic of the half model on the right is out of the mold on the left sanded out. Mold is getting long in the tooth and has a few spiders. But it is the original!BH

Bob H.

Bob H.

Walt ,
Have two left, just sent one off to Bertramp. If one could take the time to replicate the other half and make a mold....who has a digitizer? BH

Bob H.

Brent,
Some things you can never replace...love to see her still in the family...made my day!!!! BH

Bob H.

Chris,
A few slips down from my Dads Westwater was a boat owned by Tom Ireland a 38 he owned for many years I know he repowered with Cummins and took very good care of it. He passed away last year and I know the boat went up for sale. I know he stored it over at Brownells in Mattapoisett, Mass. BH

Bob H.

Cam, I followed Capt Pats lead, not a single screw holding them down. West epoxy with hi density/micro fiber mix kerf the backside. I do have about 9 rod holders through bolted with backing plates. So I do have some mechanical fasteners. BH http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj47/Westwater3/b31%20Ba...

Bob H.

I'm with Charlie, 3 blade, tabs down, idle as low as u can get her without hunting, bump in n out of gear or drag a bucket. I have 4 blades and did just fine last year with bunker spoons, current on the nose, down current bumped in and out of gear.BH
