You should give Rob at Raybo a call. He can give you the pros and cons on relining. Removing the original tank is the hardest part of tank replacement on the 28 so I went with aluminum figuring the deck comes up easy enough and if I get 15 years at of it I'll replace it again and still be ahead of t...

I have an 8d sitting in my bilge for the house bank and one starter battery for each engine. One alternator charges the two starter batteries though a combiner and the other alternator (100 amp) takes care of the house loads. My 28 likes the weight of the 8d down low and the two starting batteries I...

They gave themselves the chance to be rescued. Good on them for not giving up.

If you're not smart enough to equip yourself with the proper survival gear, you better be tough.

I don't know what you would call it but I believe its used to sexually stimulate the woman you wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

UV kicked cancers ass. Doesn't surprise me at all.

That would be my first check. Jumping the starter solenoid would be my second.

I have 13 pages of wiring schematics from the 1973 28 manual all scanned and ready to go. Just need an address to sent it to.

October is usually sinking season in Lindenhurst but I have a kayak, a home depot screw driver and an adjustable wrench, if you direct me to the boat I'll scavenge the hardware.
Larry can take what's left.

I use Larry Fox Agency @516-541-3700 and he has me with American Modern Home. I was in the market for cheap insurance to satisfy the bank that did not require constant surveys. I don't know how good this policy is but whenever I call Larry, he promptly returns my calls. I've been with them 9 years n...

I have two group 24 batteries for cranking and an 8d on a shelf in the bilge between the engines for the house bank. I run a combiner for the two starting batteries off one alternator and the house bank off the other. I went way oversize on the wiring for the house bank as it is in an engine space.

I have a 165 gallon center tank. There is a 25 gallon water tank under the cabin sole that was stock from Bertram.

Ed Curry

The pleasure was mine Gary. It"ll be nice to see another 28 out there.

You mentioned your friend Al from NavTek. I bought this house from his family. Tell him I said hello.

John Prine sums it up pretty good Chorus: Please don't bury me Down in that cold cold ground No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up And pass me all around Throw my brain in a hurricane And the blind can have my eyes And the deaf can take both of my ears If they don't mind the size Give my stomach to Mi...

I need to burn off a few gallons of gas before the winter layup so any excuse for a ride is go time. I'm working midnights and generally get up around 2:00pm, any time after that is good with me. The weather looks to be improving a bit so a bay ride might not be that impressive, but I've found the m...

Ed Curry

Give me a call and I'll take you for ride. I think you'll be pleased with the boats performance. If you're planning on fishing in the surf zone, well, you're on your own. Other than that the boat handles well in all sea conditions while under way and at anchor. It shows its beam to the sea on the dr...

You're in our thoughts and prayers, Harv.

Harv, you got my number. Call me if I can be any help.

Shrinkage Dick?
Pardon the pun.

I'm a working man Randall. Can I buy that a stack at a time?

Ed Curry

I couldn't agree more JP. I have a local guy who's been a pleasure to deal with for the past 15 years and he is the first guy I go to when outfitting my boat. Tune up parts, bottom paint, or electronics, I give him the first shot at my business.

Being of Irish heritage, I find the Airing of Grievences and Feats of Stregnth tend to coincide. Works best when celebrated with the inlaws.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays gentlemen, best wishes for all.

I'm planning on redoing my cockpit and deck hatches this winter. If you're willing to wait you can learn from my mistakes.

Ed Curry

The newspaper today had witness accounts of the tug captain repeatedly calling on the radio then sounding his horn and finally illuminating the tow cable. All attempts to alert the pleasure boat captain failed and the boat was capsized after striking the cable.

Ed Curry

Is that the same "Weasel" that's been at Cedar Beach Marina this year.
That is one sweet boat.

Ed Curry

Count me in, I have a few pounds of stuff that needs rechroming.

Ed Curry

I have the wiring diagrams from a 73, they should be pretty close. My email adress is locurry@optonline.net if you want them drop me an email and I'll shoot them over to you.

I used a film from SunTek and it held up better than anything I got from auto part stores. I'd suggest going to a window tinter and getting a roll of what they use. The films I got from the auto supply places turned purple after a year.

Ed Curry

Try a local starter rebuilder. They're equiped to handle such things.

Ed Curry

The diamond pattern on my deck in the cockpit is showing its' age. I'm thinking about using a deck coating called Durabak but once I put this stuff on there will be no turning back. Anyone have any experience with this stuff. http://www.nonslipcoating.com/marine.htm[/url]

Grey? What do you guys know about grey!

I mounted my c-120 on one of the pivot arms that West Marine sells. I have it mounted to the right of the throttles so it can swing in as close as my elbow or swing out to the corner of the windscreen. It's not the most elegant of solutions but it serves its purpose. In a good sea it moves around a ...

A cockpit motor yacht. There goes the neighborhood!

I'll bite. 24-17 Jets.
I learned awhile ago that the only thing worse than betting with the Jets is betting against them. Being a Giant fan I'm hoping to meet the Jets in the Super Bowl but I have a feeling it might be a long day for New York.

Ed Curry

Did you notice any ethenol damage? The gel coat looks to be intact from the pictures as compared to what I saw at Carl Tanks and Raybo's boat yard. The gel coat was peeling off and the fragments were soft and gummy also quite a few soft spots in the tank itself. I just finished draining the tank and...

My friend is looking foward to having his second hip replaced. He was quite pleased with the results from the first one.
Choose your sponge bath nurse carefully, some have calloused hands.

Speedy recovery.

I prefer to believe they are called hyena boats because they are fast nimble and fearsome hunters. Truth of the matter is U.V. believes they resemble a hyena draggin its ass when they are up and running.

Ed Curry

I have a thin transom also. Next time you're poking around your engines on a sunny day take a look at the hull sides, they're translucent as well. The beauty of the Bertrams are that they knew where to put the glass. When I put my swim platform on I glassed in four plywood backing plates. I was plan...

Ed Curry

I removed the fridge to install an air conditioner behind it. The fridge never made it back in the boat and I haven't missed it. There's always a cooler or two on board anyway so I don't see the fridge making its way back on board.

Ed Curry

A humble thank you to you and all the veterans on this board.

Count me in!

Any word from Raybo on how that tank is holding up?
