Check out powerstrokehelp.com. Those guys know ford powerstroke diesels and have a great video resource that owner Billy Hewitt has provided. I know them personally and trust what they say. Hope your excursion treats you well. I love my 2000 4x4 Excursion as well as my 2006 F350 dually. Glenn, 76' 3...

Mike, I ran a charter boat out of Ninilchik AK from 1990 to 2000. I fished Cook Inlet and ran out of Homer many times. A few things to know. April and early May are early season and it's hit or miss but I'm sure these guy's know what they're doing. In the early season I believe the big fish are movi...

Wow! What a delight! Thanks and welcome aboard!

Glenn

Looks really good John. Will it and that big landing net in the background be ready for April Rock fishin? I bet it will!

Great work.

thanks guys, I talked to the guy selling the props and he measured the bore at 1"to 1.25". I think they would need re-boring to fit the 1 3/8" shaft size, not sure but I think that can be done. They are located about 30 minutes from where I live so it makes sense to go take a look. Pete, is your exp...

I found a set of Michigan Dyna Quad 17x17's, new for $300 ea. Anybody know if they could be used on a B31 Sedan with Mercruiser MPI 340hp's?

She's patiently awaiting her revival and I'm patiently saving the $'s to revive her. Bob, I'm going to try to follow your progress but I don't think my budget can stay with you. I'll be satisfied to just get her back to her old stomping grounds, the middle Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River. Good luck...

John, things are good here. I didn't get to splash last summer because I decided to bite the bullet and pull the engines and go through em. Being the fourth set of engines in a marine police boat you can imagine what other stuff we found that needed to be torn-out or fixed. At least the engines test...

Rawleigh, this boat looks like one I saw on craigslist last fall in FL for $5K! It's not the Wicomico. I have it over at Chesapeake Cove Marina. Rob pulled the engines and bench tested them last fall. I thought they had over 1600 hours on them but he said the computer showed just ove 200 each and in...

Thanks Capt. Bob, I'm in no hurry. This is a long term project for me. I am just really thankfull to have such a great source knowledge and a willingness to help-out the new guys on this forum. Glenn

Thanks Pat, I had wondered who owned those. I saw the sedan posted for sale somewhere aroud $180 k. Would you happen to know if there is any additional pictures of that tower or other info or contacts to help me with my design. I would prefer an independent structure that I can easily remove or part...

Bob, I have a B31 sedan from the same family (VA Marine Police) as the one you have pictured and I am planning to have a tower built for mine at some point down the road. I have a picture of a nice sedan with a tower on my computer but I don't know how to attach it to this posting (embarrassed to sa...

What a way to brighten my day, Thanks!!!

And me too, please. Thanks

gmelvin@windstream.net

Done too!

Help! Trying to figure out how much Collinite to order for a fairly neglected B31 sedan with original gelcoat. Looks to me like ebay has a some pretty good deals. Any suggestions, pint, 1/2 gal?

Rawleigh, my boat is over in Deltaville at Chesapeake Marine Railway and I would love to find some e-free gas. Is the marina you are talking about near Deltaville? Glenn

thanks Pete, I guess if I plan my trips well it may be worth the effort. It seems like I could buy a good trailer for the cost of hiring a hauler to make 2 or 3 trips from MD to FL. Do you know if it's bad for the hull to stay on the trailer 2 or 3 months a year?

Do ya'll know anyone who trailers a B31 on a regular or seasonal basis, say up and down the east coast. I'm considering finding a good trailer and moving my B31 sedan on a seasonal basis (MD to FL). Thinking I could leave it on the trailer for short periods of time. Glenn

Gary,

Some of us (at least 3) are in the same boat and are in the procces of replacing our tanks with the next 2 months. Take a look at the gen. discussion post for "new fuel (gas) tank" and let us know if you are interested.

Glenn

Thanks Tony, I am also skeptical about plastic and I havn't seen too much support in the threads but I'll give them a call and see what they have to say.

John, I'm facing the same problem with replacing the tank on my B31 in Deltaville VA. Can you give me some info on the ones you guys are getting. I am looking for the best replacement tank but don't think I can aford to pay the bucks for FB. I found what I think is a good source for plastic and alum...

Hello to all. This is my first posting to the site. I joined the forum a couple of months ago while searching info in B31s. I am posting to this topic cause I just puchased a 76 B31. You may have seen it on ebay last year. It's a ex-Virginia marine police boat the "MV WICOMICO". It's been sitting in...
