How is this? Just clik on the bottom one in Photobucket where it says img code & then paste it here. Real nice boat for your collection.

UV,
Try $156 for a dist. cap for a 3 cyl. Westerbeke genny. Also $120 for a rotor for the same.

Never mind the energy, I would still be in the initial planning stage & would never have had the knowledge & imagination to pull off a major project this quickly.

I am in as much awe of all your work as I am in seeing Randall's creations.

Like every one else, I am in awe at what an artist can envision & then bring to fruition. Here is a link to where Randall is documenting the process.

I would LOVE a toy like that. I go through about 6 > 7 cords a year plus another 1 1/2 cords of buggy, punky wood out in my shop. Unfortunately even if I had that, I couldn't use it on most of the wood I get. The city drops off logs right next to my splitter. Beggars can't be choosers & I end up wit...

This is from one of the B33 guys docked on Boston Harbor. He normally uses the boat all winter. This foto is from the mid January storm.

The stuff works as advertised. 28 bucks for 6 one oz. vials of dye, the light, and the glasses.

UV,
Where did you order this stuff. I checked Summit racing & it was a lot more expensive.
Thanks

Al, That's the one, I think he ended up using a aluminum light pole from National Grid, works OK and is easy to take off and store, can't remember how long it is. I am going to be in Salem for a week 23 thru 29 of this month, is your boat still at Tucks Landing, did you have Dana do the repair work...

lobsta1

Isn't that the one where he was using a sail bote mast for the pulpit & was wondering how long to make it. I seem to remember he wanted to make it 18' long.
Al

lobsta1

I would shut all breakers & pull all fuses. Then disconnect the pos. battery cable & hook a 12V light in series. Then one by one activate each circuit. When the light goes on, you know what ckt to look at.

Yes, but does the rattle come at idle only. If you bump the rpm up 100, does the noise stop? I don't know anything about trannys, but that rattle at idle speed says to me that a cylinder is not firing.

If this is only at idle, check that all the cylinders are firing.

I've got a canvas guy lined up already. The problem around here is finding someone to do the fiberglass work.
Al

P.S. If you look at the stern view, you can see that even the power pole got blown apart. I have a feeling that the wind was stronger along the water front than the official 67 mph.

Results from Beverly, Ma. after shrink wrap ripped off. One of the fwd spring lines chafed through after that cleat as well as the other fwd spring line cleat were half pulled out of the dock.

What engines are in the boat at this time. If they are 454s there should not be a prob w/ the current trans. Actually there is a problem as the new motors don't have an opposite rotation option. A number of the B33 guys have gone this route & were very pleased with the results. I can't remember wha...

A couple of us with the B33s got the tanks from Doug at Nautic Marine. I believe there was only one after us that got a tank from him. He was just getting into a minimum two year contract with Carnival cruise lines doing a lot of custom SS fabrication on the cruise ships.
