I know those folks. They dock in the marina behind my house. I tie up with them on occasion.Excellent selection of wine and snacks. Bring larger than normal fenders when rafting with them. And a knife.

Ed Curry

Gee Dug I didn't realize you guys were so sensitive. Maybe we can all go down to mamby pamby land and get some self confidence for you, ya jackwagon! All in good fun Dug and a few Guinesses for good measure. Pats are indeed the team to beat and have been for some time. I have alot of respect for Bel...

Ed Curry

I'm not much of a Jet fan, and the Pats pretty much crushed them but it's just one game. I remember about three years ago when the Pats won every game they played.
Except one.

Nothing sucks more than having to shovel snow from your cockpit after shoveling your driveway. That cockpit cover is perfect for a Long Island winter not to mention keeping the sun off that teak deck. I think us New york boys need to have a mini rendezvous on petes boat. or a local watering hole.

Ed Curry

Call me tomorrow 631-258-6804. I'll shoot over, I've been dying to check out your boat anyway. Two sets of hands can into alot more trouble than a single set.

Ed Curry

Great interview, you're a natural.

Ed Curry

I like pulling the boats for the winter,less to worry about. The days you have to check it are usually the days you want to stay inside. Lots of guys end up in the water checking their boats so remember to leave yourself handholds and a way to get yourself out of the water if you fall in. In additio...

Ed Curry

Nice to see another Bertram in the neighborhood. I bet you didn't know a second family came with the purchase of the boat.

Ed Curry

I have a leftover b28 style rudder laying around if you want to get back in action.

Ed Curry

I have the schematics for a 28. I'm sure there's not much difference in a 31. Email me at ejcurry@verizon.net and I'll send you the file.

Ed Curry

Don't get between a woman and her zucchini either.

I did a dock and deck with Ipe about 8years ago and my biggest regret is not going with the biscuit fasteners. When finished properly it's almost a shame to put furniture on it let alone a bunch of holes. I used 1x4 and cupping has not been an issue although checking will occur at the end of the boa...

Ed Curry

The Ipe is great stuff and if you let it go silver it's maintenance free.

Ed Curry

No offense meant Randall, owning a bubble boat doesn't necessarily make you a bubble boater. I know a few of those Searay people in that video. Very nice people but not exactly old salts. There is a bit of snobbery that goes on with that particular crowd of boaters so it's amusing watching them make...

Ed Curry

Searay has been doing this aquapaloosa raft up for a while, the problem is when the Searay owners try to do this without adult supervision. The area of the incident was the backside of Fire Island Inlet and although it is somewhat protected it is subjected to quite a bit of boat traffic as well as a...

Ed Curry

You can't go wrong with a Superboat. Plenty of them out there and local builder as well. Same for Kryptonites. A 24' Skater will get him 100mph but he'll be in twin outboards.

Ed Curry

I'd take Fire Island inlet and save a few miles, otherwise the ocean is the way to go.

Ed Curry

We ran to the elbow at Hudson canyon instead of the dip. Lots of life like Dan said. Took a bunch of 60lb yellow fin on the chunk around 1:30am, contrary to what we were told. Hit a few on the troll in the morning but not the early morning blitz we were expecting. Glad we were out there for the chun...

Ed Curry

I'll be at the dip for the next two days.
Hilo or kELLY'S KREW CHANNEL 68.

Ed Curry

I'm planning on heading out Wednesday afternoon, hope I'm not to late.

Ed Curry

I agree with Sim about cleaning the tank. Taking the screen out will just move your clogging problem to a different filtration point as well as allowing larger debris to enter the fuel line which may cause a blockage that's harder to clear. Removing the crud from the tank eliminates all of your prob...

Ed Curry

That was one good time. It's always good to get a chance to thank Capt. Patrick in person for this site and to be in the company of gentlemen and women such as yourselves. I've enjoyed your posts on this board for quite a while and to spend time on the dock shooting the breeze was a treat for me. Br...

Ed Curry

Good on you mister! Nothing's better than making kids smile.

Ed Curry

Sounds like a brush may be hanging up in the brush holders. A shot of compressed air may help.

Moriches Bay wasn't bad at all. The channel was clearly marked and at half tide and rising I had 4ft of water at the shallowest point. I was in less water coming in Fire Island inlet, which should get a thread of its own. The information I got from Tow Boat Moriches was right on the money. The Tow B...

Ed Curry

Weather is going to be the determining factor as to which route I take but Joe is right I'm planning on the inside route. For anyone else who's going through Moriches Tow Boat US Shinnicock Moriches informed me that I should hit Moriches no earlier than 2:00pm Thursday as the high tide will be at 3:...

Ed Curry

So far my information says to stay away from buoy 27, hit 26 and head directly to 28. The howdy boat crowd also say to remain on plane and blow past any slower boats that get in your way, so we will that kind of hazard to be aware of as well. Lucky for us there shouldn't be alot of them out there to...

Ed Curry

Will do Bob. If the channel is where the charts or buoys say it is I'll try it. If I remember correctly, there was a problem last year around buoy 25? and the channel took a turn all the way to the north and ran along the mainland.

Ed Curry

Hey Dick, are you out there? Call me 631-258-6804. If this wind keeps up FI inlet will be just as much fun as Moriches Bay. Hey Charlie this is more of a South West wind and the bay was rolling tonight. It should blow you all the way Shinnicock. If I can get any good intell I'm going to run inside s...

Ed Curry

Anyone have information on the best course through Moriches Bay? I'll be heading out Thursday and plan to get the rising tide around 11:00am, but that area scares me. I haven't been there in a while but I remember boats getting stuck in the channel at low tide.
See ya in Greenport.

Ed Curry

Same here.
Call me 631-258-6804.

Ed Curry

I'll be heading out Thursday morning, I have room for one more.

Ed Curry

I should be there Thursday mid afternoon with a count of five thirsty mariners.

Ed Curry

Five for Hilo.

Ed Curry

Check the engine beds where they mate with the bulkheads, that's a common rot spot. The later models had a nicer interior layout with a more modern outdated decor, if you're into that.
I think the 28 is the best value out there.

Ed Curry

One small tuna and a 250lb mako on the troll at the Glory hole this weekend. Mako hit the bird off the center rigger. Never considered trolling for shark.

Ed Curry

I believe they use those fittings in the the forktruck reels.Try Moreland hose in Oakdale, 631-563-7071. Or Island Hose and Seal in Deer Park, 631-242-2900.

Ed Curry

If you go with gas the sad fact is you will have little resale value. There are a lot of the 28s out there and they can be for 10-15k. I rebuilt my 350 mercs to the original 260hp three years ago and I'm satisfied with the results, 22k cruise with 1kn fuel burn. If I had deeper pockets I would have ...

Ed Curry

I'll take two sets.

Ed Curry

How about a little pepper spray. If it works in the bottom paint it might be worth a try.
Patron might attract a larger nuisance, like neighbors!

Ed Curry

I remember your posts from The Hull Truth. You seem to be a class act, a real gentleman and I'm glad to see you on this site. Good luck with the boat and the rest of the season. Looks like you're off to a good start.

Ed Curry

I don't think you'll get much fill into those dime sized blisters with the barrier coat and the barrier coat will be a bear to sand, besides what would the difference be between filling and fairing a thousand quarter sized holes as opposed to a thousand dime sized holes. I filled mine with polyester...

In New York it's either a gay thing or a gang thing. Either one is capable of killing Kenny, those bastards.

Ed Curry

I have no personal experience with them but they have a very good reputation on Long Island.

Ed Curry

The wettest boat I've been on is a 28 Albin. The boat is a submarine and impossible to drive without windshield wipers. A seaworthy ride but if you're not in the pilot house you will be drenched to the bone as your pockets fill with seawater. Compared to that my 28 is fairly dry.

Ed Curry

Sounds like fun, I'm in.

Ed Curry

Rick I read your blog and I question your motives for posting on this site. A bunch of guys playing what if on a boating site is acceptable but an industry insider shopping his blog in defense of a boat builder poses questions. Why here, why now. Your type of article is more suited to YF and THT tha...

I believe you need a virgin to pee on the bow for a renaming. Good luck with that!
I hear you can buy some time with a toast to four corners of the globe and a sacrifice to Poseidon!
Beautiful boat, good luck with her.

Ed Curry

I have a couple of 4x6 and 6x6 that I use as a gantry for removing my engines. You're welcome to borrow them and a 6' wrecking bar if you think that will help.

Ed Curry

The key for my removal was to twist and not just pull it out. I was trying for two days to pull from one corner of the tank hoping to peel it off the bottom. when I put a 6' steel bar between the tank and the rudder shelf I felt the tank go sideways with a loud pop and the damn thing was out. Don't ...
