All I can say Harv is "Tie a board on your a$$!"

I have similar experiences on a regular basis! Allyou can do is hope for the first two senarios and count on the third.

A fourth possibility would be they were so amazed they were speechless!!

Fat chance. The world is full of unappreciative idiots. If it helps at all, "Hey Bruce, nice job!"

Kipp, Kingfish and I were there in early October for a bragging rights tourney and it was off the hook then too! Whales everywhere, sea turtles, Dorado, tons of stripeys, a few sails and a blue or two. We had fished with Redrum and they just won the big Tuna in the Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot, worth abou...

MarkS

What a couple of beautiful boats! It's amazing how high the front the 25 rides with no hardtop or flybridge, plus the sterndrives hanging. Nice work boys!

So Mikey do we add these powder post beetles to the list of stuff left over after the nuclear fallout?
1) Cockroaches
2) Howard Dean
3) Powder Post Beetles

Sean, I have had a similar problem with some of the hickory furniture I have sold over the years. Strange little piles of wood dust re appearing over and over after vacuuming the showroom floor. The end result though not likely your end result, we were told were hickory beetles. These tough little b...

62, I found a guy by the name of Cliff Carlton his hauling company is BCR transport, and his phone number is/was 410-459-1143 He hauled my 25 FBSF from Cape Cod to Oshkosh Wisconsin for about $500 less than anyone else I checked with. His stuff looked top notch and he was very proffesional, sent me ...

MarkS

Joef, I wish I would have seen this when you first posted it. Alloc, which is a laminate flooring, has a click together product called shipsdeck oiled teak. (I think, I sell the stuff, but to much liqour has passed the lips) anyway it looks very authentic. About 20 sq. ft. in a box and you could glu...

MarkS

Bruce your new saying has reminded me of a time I was driving down the road and as I came upon a county truck pulled over to the side. I noticed the driver standing behind it with a flat shovel just smacking something with it like he was trying to put out a fire! I pulled over and ran up to him just...

MarkS

For anyone that might be thinking of going to Cabo this October. I got involved in this last year and it was a blast. I managed to get Kingfish involved as he had posted on here that he was going to Cabo for his anniversary, so I PM'd him and said hey, ya wanna, and he said if the boss lets me! We e...

MarkS

Glad you guys are having fun with this! I seam to do better when I paint a mental Turban around the targets!

Mark

MarkS

My friend what is important these days is that your aim with cerveza to mouth is acurate! If you've seen those old "Hollywood Squares" quotes that are flying around from e-mail to e-mail, my favorite is when Peter Marshall asks Charlie Weaver, "Back in the day when grampa would put horse radish on h...

MarkS

Sending good thoughts and prayers your way, hang in there!

MarkS

Sorry guys I couldn't help myself. Plan on pissing the rest of the day away!

Kingfish, Will do on the howdy to Jim and Merry Christmas my friend! Jack, When we were there in Oct. We were in a little bragging rights only tourney, we ended up taking second place out of 5 boats (4 man teams) we saw sailfish, sea turtles, whales and lots of bait and Marlin swirling. We fished wi...

MarkS

Rawleigh, I'm sure it was a workout, but most of those fish were caught way green and horsed in, and with a 30 ft leader and a couple of cranks,......well? There is a picture on Bloodydecks.com of a bill busted off in a Tuna tube which sort of speaks to the green fish boatside issue. http://www.bloo...

MarkS

Hey Jim, I thought you would get a kick out of this. Can you imagine how crazy that must have been? Terry was there as an observer on the second place boat, "get over it" and said he had to stand on the flybridge and allow and disallow fish because they were calling out "leader" so fast he couldn't ...

MarkS

What a bite! We were there in Oct. just before the Bisbee (kingfish and I) little did we know the bite we experienced which was great IMHO was to get way better. Unbelievable. Cabo San Lucas Mexico, 9th Dec 2007 - Mini WCBRT Results and New World Records Set Cabo considered the Striped Marlin Capita...

MarkS

I know I am assuming actual intelligence here but how could these guys be too stupid to run the boat after doing away with the crew?

Forgive the total oxymoron here, but really?

Mark

MarkS

Bruce, You want the JL Audio 10" subwoofer with the infinate baffle. That will perform with no backing and sound great! Cut a hole, shove it in and your rockin. It is rated for salt water use and, in checking price I got $250.00 In my opinion far superior to Clarion. No offense intended to those who...

MarkS

Vuarnet Nautilux. They are available in prescription, I have had a number of pairs. Hold on to your hat price. But the worst part is sending money to the freeking french comunists! But they make a great sunglass.
Mark

MarkS

Got mine today. They are awesome thanks for the effort Fred! Love em!!!
Mark

MarkS

John, Some of that is very valuable information, some of it is bunk. Big jon makes a great set of board reels that both pay out and reel in very nicely. Also height of the board line at the boat really doesn't matter. What matters is you have good boards that pull hard and keep the line tight. Also ...

MarkS

Will do

MarkS

Joeh, I have a set of board reels mounted to my flybridge rails. I then run the line down to the top of the gunnel and mounted an eye bolt with a pulley and a spring for shock value. Pay em out and reel em back in easy. If I wasn't so freeking computer illiterate I would post the picture for you to ...

MarkS

Fred I shot you and e-mail and got it spit back at me. Are the sweatshirts hooded? Let me know and I will get a check out ASAP!
Thanks,
Mark

MarkS

I would take a hooded sweatshirt in xx and a short sleeve t-shirt in x

MarkS

Thanks guys, will do tonight,

My Starboard Temp gauge started to peg out last year during sea trials. This would happen upon start up not something that would gradually climb. The engine ran great and was cool to the touch so my question is; would you suspect the gauge, the sender, grounding, wiring?
Thoughts?

Thanks guys,
Mark

MarkS

Don't forget the ACLU piece's of crap! I am sure his right to unimpeeded travel were violated too or some other crap they might manufacture!

MarkS

Mark,
How about your reasoning behind NO FOAM. After doing as prescribed by Capt. Patrick, I can't for the life of me see why not.
Mark

MarkS

I have to agree. I put down a fresh 1/2" piece of lexan for the bed and then foamed only the sides and front into place. This made for a little breathing room and still is a snug fit with which I have much confidence.
Again only my $.02
Mark

MarkS

Russ, I have been there many times and have always fished with Pisces. They have 4 great 31's, of which my favorite is Tracy Ann. Her captain, Julio Castro won awards for the most stipeys caught in the world three years in a row,(03, 04, 05 i think) With that said, I have a friend who lives in Cabo ...

MarkS

Bruce, On top of all the good info you got previously, If all else fails, call a local furniture store. Ask them if they will give you the number of a good furniture touch up guy. We receive damaged stuff all the time and some of these guys are really good at your exact problem. It would help if you...

MarkS

Capt. Patrick, It never ceases to amaze me the amount of knowledge this group has amassed! After the last carcass has rotted here, it should be stuffed and put in the Smithsonian (sp?) Also for anyone interested, Doug at Nautic is selling the business. I asked him if it was because of the Bertram me...

Does anyone have any background on this boat? I have a buddy in New Bern, NC interested.

For us yankee's that don't get Southern Boating, is there a way to post the picture or at least a link to the page. Would love to see it!

Hey Capt. Patrick,
You've morfed from the ex hippy look a like that I have come to respect to the Willie Nelson stand in, What gives?

P.S. I was feeling brave this morning

MarkS

This thing has been beat to death so I am sorry if you have already made up your mind, but I recommend Nautic Marine in Florida for SS. Coast Gaurd approved, not effected by ethanol like Aluminum and fibreglass. Call Doug, He will be very helpful. 954-563-9932 Tell him Mark from Wisconsin sent you! ...

One of the boys out on Lake Michigan out of Kewaunee named his boat "Stinky Box". I think he trailers it, must look great going down the highway!

UV,
If you want a fresh water pig, I will soak it in Lake Michigan for you. No salt but lots of green fuzz!

In Wisconsin it is state law that undergorund tanks at gas stations be replaced every 10 years. This makes the oldest ones 1996 vintage, and we have pimping(pumping) corn for nearly that long!

Peter, My guess is we are seeing it. But nobody gives a crap about their 72 ford picup truck, "Oh its just got a jillion miles on it". I spend much time in the Dakotas where the evil elixer is stirred in boiling cauldrons by ugly harry women in black. They say it is beating their farm equipment and ...
