Peter- If your problem is broken or missing pins, they can easily be replaced. I suspect your zero degree transom rod holders are mounted that way, is because they're thru-bolted and there might not be enough room underneath to do that if they were turned. If you were changing things, since it seems...

A pulpit without a bow rail? Strange to me...and a bit scary.

I got my sides from American. Don't know about the curved parts.

Mounted fish get much bigger when mounted. Bigger than you think. My friend had the choice of removing the front windows of his house to get it in, or giving it away to a good cause for a donation.

I have to assume (others please chime in) that once the Ethanol fuel is completely gone from the tank, and refilled with diesel, the deterioration process will stop, BUT whatever damage that has been caused is permanent. If it was my boat and I was going to the expense of new (or used) diesels, I wo...

What state was the boat fueling up in? It was not an across the board switch at one time. The other question is, was the fuel in question sitting in that tank and for how long?

In Memory Walter K

And they're worried about OUR fuel consumption?

Now THAT's funny!

Bob- I started out with colored tape markings every 50' but finally gave up after replacing them so many times. Now work on a 5' per arm spread measurement.

Peter- I don't know if you need as much as 15' of chain on your 300' of 1/2" rope in your basket with that larger anchor. I use a #13 Danforth with half that length of chain and have had no problem holding in Montauk's currents. If that basket/chain/rope and anchor is going to sit in the cockpit, it...

If it's just the port engine and both are feeding off the same tank, I would disconnect the fuel line from the port engine and feed that engine from a separate 6-10 gallon tank to see if it smooths down or still runs rough. If it still runs rough, it's the engine, not the fuel. It would be a shame t...

I'd just cut the connecting rope and leave as it wrapped up his props.

Absolutely magnificent! You should be very proud. Walter

If it don't leach, it's inert like your fiberglass is. Far better for them than an ablative paint

Based on what I can understand, slime would slip off from the simple pressure created by running. As far as barnacles are concerned, they have to be able to grip. A spinning shaft or prop should hurl them off if it works as per the demos. Boy, would I love to get my hands on a can or two just to try...

Basically, that's what I mean. Almost all friction would be gone, especially when moving.

Tony- Can this stuff be bought? Imagine taking all your bottom paint off and painting your bottom with it. Bet you'll add 5 knots.

My portfolio of T-shirts are almost exclusively Bertram 31.com Rendezvous shirts, with a few Guy Harvey shirts thrown in. All have chest pockets (or I won't wear them), and I don't think any of them say anything else. But then again, I'm an old fart whose nasty comments are usually verbal, screaming...

No permits in Connecticut? He couldn't have them with that list of violations if they had Permits...OR someone wasn't doing their job.

Mike-I have a new one on my Bahia mar and it serves me fine, but Barons are supposed to fly. My problem was space and access. I had very little to go any wider.

In Memory Walter K

Now is this a great site or not?

Again congratulations Brew! On a 5 wt even more impressive. A bit tough casting a crab fly on a 5 wt? Was wondering what you were doing with the other boats on the hard. Now I know.

My NY trailer registrations have quadrupled in cost in one year. They're on the road to and from the water ONCE in each direction, otherwise used as a storage vehicle. I'm seriously considering letting the registration lapse. Talk about the law of diminishing returns.

A somewhat similar MAD AV story. I had just joined a company as it's Head Art Director and was hired to change the archaic way things were being run and to create award winning advertising for the agency's clients. After being there a while I received a very critical memo from one of the Account Exe...

I had an early (bought it new in the 60's) 16'7" Whaler and now have a 10 yr old (bought new) Carolina skiff. Both boats flew. The Whaler had a slight V in the center of the bow, while my Carolina Skiff is flat across the bow. You guys might be talking about a different model Carolina (newer hull de...

Second best boat ever built.

If I could find my old Judson I would send it to him. It's a simple install (2 wires), fits on a B-31 bridge easily. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to make a fluttering light glow. Even his kids could do it, mine did.

Carl Darenberg saw it from the road and thought it was mine.

It's been a long time since I've had my 440's but I had a synch system that was wired into a small black unit who's light would flutter when out of synch and glow evenly when in synch. It has no need for cable attachments.

Couldn't come to a better place. Welcome!

If that's so, I'll let the word slip to Jeff Briggs who redid and sold is 31 Bahia Mar (quietly) to Alec Baldwin last year. Tried to get them to Greenport last year (quietly) evwn for a day, but they didn't make it. If either of them know Baldwin, it might help make it happen even though it's furthe...

The kids sleep great on the dinette set-up when lowered and dinette seat backs are fitted in the center...at least for a few years.

And where we live, you also can't do that without Mobile toilets on the scene.

Tell me you didn't have to get an assembly permit, a food provider permit, a liquor license and didn't receive a summons for not having them. And WE live in what is called the land of the free! Forgot about having to declare the income for payment of taxes.

If it helps, I get 1.5 nmpg on a pretty heavy Sportsfisherman with 210 Cummins. Sometimes a bit more, but not less.

Congratulations Peter!

That's what comes of making Gods of Quarterbacks. Even their wives sometimes forget, there's a whole team out there keeping him from being sacked.

I have had it done, but to be truthful, I did it a half inch at a time. Not because I was afraid, but because I thought a half inch would do it and I was wrong.

Oh, those poor camera men!

I guess I'm old fashioned and have no trust in marketing words like "dripless". My shafts and rudders are packed ones. I know the shafts are supposed to have a small degree of drip and I check the degree every time I enter the boat and after a trip. Guess I have heard too many stories of dripless fa...

To be honest, I don't like anything that gets in the way of my hearing any operating sounds. When drifting, I love the silence and want to know when/if a pump kicks on or a reel runs off. I know, I'm no fun.

So much for big time speakers on the bridge.

I would suspect that you will have to miter cut and butt the stern corners. The bow bend you will have to experiment with because of the hollow half oval choice of stainless edging. I'm guessing that the wider the strip, the more noticeable the "flattening" might be. Take a one foot length and bend ...

Been there and done that in my pre-Bertram 31 days. A war surplus Loran A was my first electronic navigation device. It's a lot spookier in a dense fog and you have to learn your approximate speeds at various RPM's and a few basic formulas like speed x time= distance and it's variations. A pad and p...
