Money! Looks incredible!

JeremyD

I figured the CF was worth a few extra knots (actually I made this for the car, same principles apply)

JeremyD

a waste of space in Florida.

JeremyD

Blacktip is excellent - my wife likes it better than cobia/redfish

Soak in a little italian dressing an hour before cooking on the grill. A little lemon squeeze as it comes off - mmmmmmm

JeremyD

awesome work as usual

JeremyD

I have a 9" BW Squall that I bought for $125

I can't believe the price some of these older whalers get. Just make sure the foam isn't water logged and you are good to go.

JeremyD

IRGuy - your info was very useful to me - thanks again

JeremyD

Scooter - I just did this - but remained with the two batteries for now - but plan on adding a 3rd soon - I went with a new blue sea panel - that has a wiring provision for three batteries. started like this http://www.thehulltruth.com/attachments/test-area/78783d1246331659-bimini-bert_elec.jpg http...

Is that in St. Pete? I think I saw that boat across from Fish Tales yesterday. I had the B-28 parked. When I went to leave I was going to circle back around but it was gone. It looked beautiful!

Just looked up Elite and yes it is in St. Pete - didn't even know. Great looking boat.

JeremyD

Pictures? You would think they would - being built from fiberglass and all.

JeremyD

In Floriduh you see all kinds - I've seen a few car seats strapped down to T-tops - I've seen a few swings like this hanging from t-tops - my favorite was a bigger cc where the guy had fashioned big D anchors and had strapped a infant seat to the front of his CC. The baby (I'm talking newborn) was s...

JeremyD

looks like it even has a mini rod holder

JeremyD

Still, you have to love a boat that will do 33 knots in 10.5 knots of wind...

JeremyD

Correction.. I should have said "when a catamaran was pitted against a MONOhull" My take is that it's less about two guys that sail boats well - more about how good their respective attorneys are on interpreting the rules. I raced sailboats for years too - great fun and really had more of a good ti...

JeremyD

Maybe a different tack - but I have the app for my iphone. iNavX application. I can also email my wife my location as long as I am within data cell range - it was around $39.00 Same I phone I have the Speed application that shows speed miles knots kilometers. Now even if I go on a friends boat - I h...

I'm going to teach my son to either be a Porsche mechanic or a marine mechanic. Both offer superior earning potential.

JeremyD

Oh yeah! Not sure if I was more shocked at the original house fuses or the 26 years of wiring hacks from previous owners. Some people should not attempt DIY and hire a professional (and good grief if it was done by a professional) . Either do it right - or don't bother. replaced the battery tray (th...

JeremyD

Of course had to fix the leaks before I disconnected the batteries first.

Before:

After:

JeremyD

and you can add some EOS GM assembly lube if you are not certain.

JeremyD

Been discussed in detail on the Porsche boards - look at the Brad Penn oil - it's the old "green oil" from the kendell days.

I did mine recently - polished, cleaned and painted with black acrylic enamel

JeremyD

You talking about stuffing boxes or cutless bearings?

For stuffing boxes many go with the PSS dripless

http://www.shaftseal.com/product_categories/300000001

For cutless bearings/ shaft logs see capt pats build section.

JeremyD

I do the same thing - except double the expenses and triple the time - I do that because I'm pretty anal about things - when I take anything apart I clean it, paint it, lubricate, clean and paint where it was, then reinstall.

JeremyD

and we are slap dab in the middle of an el nino year - so lots of rain this winter in Floridah

Great video Brewster

The LS3 does. and makes the torque pretty low down.

We had about 2 feet above normal here - can't imagine what you guys are getting. I think the B-28 moves around more at the dock than my 24 foot sailboat did - and it had a 30 foot mast!

Hee Hee -

Congrats - she's a beauty.

JeremyD

Thanks Tommy - good to know. I have to admit - I like the idea of the external ones.

JeremyD

I broke one of the seacocks on the starboard thru hull going to the sea strainer. It was fun changing out the raw water pump with no cut off. Thank goodness for new bilge pumps. So I guess that will be on my list of things to replace (the list is getting larger not smaller) Any recommendations? I kn...

JeremyD

and now a rebuilt water pump...

JeremyD

New Fridge, new sinks and faucets, refinish all interior wood, replace all door, hinge, hook hardware, replace bimini. It's been huge fun and will be a fun, economical and reliable boat. Of course, it's always cheaper to find one that is already done. What fridge did you end up going with? I think ...

I'm hoping the Pats [as in the whole team] get a 24 hour flu on the trip to England. That's the only way my Bucs will have a fighting chance this weekend. Of course with the way the Bucs are playing this year, the Pats cheerleaders could probably beat them.

JeremyD

:shock: I am truly humbled.

and my wife accuses me of overdoing. I take pride in what I accomplish. But Patrick - you are an artist.

Great write up

JeremyD

at least I don't have to worry about the boat sinking at the dock if I disconnect the batteries... :-D

and replacing all the bilge pumps, replacing the batteries, fixing the fresh water tanks (yes, 6 months and holding...) - repainting the cockpit covering boards, replacing the curtains and upholstery, replacing the transducer, repacking the stuffing boxes, fixing the idle problems, replacing several...

JeremyD

Here's the other side - basically the 500 rule is mounted to the bottom - it sucks up water and deposits it on top - A spray fitting provides a little aeration.

JeremyD

I really like the manifold idea - I'll probably incorporate that when I redo some of the thru hulls. I'll try and get a picture of the 500 pump tonight if you want JR - on the 2nd picture I have a cigarette lighter plug on the port side (and you can see the plug draped) that the pump plugs into - It...

JeremyD

I just installed one of these on the swim platform of my B-28. I also installed a raw water wash down at the same time - I use the raw water wash down to fill the tub and a 500 rule to circulate and oxigenate the water. In cooler weather I can keep bait alive for a week - when the water hit's the 90...

JeremyD

really doesn't yanmar use the BMW diesel for it's base for the 4 cylinder models?

JeremyD

What a great boat. Thanks for sharing the pictures

JeremyD

those look pretty compact - will they fit a B-28 without raising the hatches?

JeremyD

now that's the exhaust!

JeremyD

Contender 23. T-top, tournament console. Light use and low hours. Bottom JUST Painted! Below book. Must sell, bought new boat.

JeremyD

That's awesome!

JeremyD

Congrats Paul - I was wondering how you were doing.

JeremyD

I have the 260 mercruisers - and that would be with a clean bottom.

FBC - but it's pretty bare bones - bimini no tower -

JeremyD

Do you have a Porsche Kevin?

recommendations on thru hulls, sea strainers?

It's a small thing but after 7 months of ownership
