Wasn't this a "winter project"? Is it winter were Gert is? Maybe I misunderstood: ".....get done by winter..."

Dug:

23 knots? Nobody got hurt? That is a side swipe. Shake it off and off we go! ;)

Those are nothing but good news. You've learned and nobody got hurt.

How could you do this????!!!! That is it. Capt. Pat, throw him out! Kidding apart, that is one heck of a boat you got now. For me is a second best after a 31. Are you planning to change those DD 6v92? If so, what power? Have read that desirable power would be: Cummins Diamond 450 with 25 x 28 (3) bl...

Grasshopper: You have chosen wisely! Congrats!

Hueso

Tony: It is for a Yanmar 170 setup in B31. Old engines were Crusaders with Borg Warners. Old shafts will not be long enough for the Yannies. We measured the length of the shafts of another 31 with Yannies 170 and it was 88.5. I do not know if you can play with the engines (move them back for example)?

Hueso

I may need two 1(3/8) aquamet 22 shafts of at least 88.5". What would be the ball park price for the two (not including shipping)?

Thank you for sharing!

Remember, this is information gathered throughout the years, and sometimes incomplete as you may appreciate. Feel free to share whatever info on set ups you may have.

Hueso

Throughout the years I've been collecting information from the Faithful of different engine set ups for a 31 and I wish to share it with you now. If you have different set ups that have work for you and/or want to fill in what I'm missing, please share. YANMAR 315 Gears = 2:1 Shafts = 1.5 Aquamet 22...

If you do not have it....make space for a 54' Bertram. Otherwise, B50 sounds good. As UV always said: "the money in in the iron".

Hueso

It just hurts my eyes! Like with Randall.....we are dealing with another artist!

Hueso

John:

Keep us updated with your decision on the engines. If I ever go up, my choice will be a 37 and will upgrade the engines with Cummins or Yanmars. It is still a boat that I can handle alone and/or with my wife.

Hueso

Keith, my condolences to your family and you.

Keeping up with tradition......Feliz Navidad!

Mark: I'm still laughing as I write. I feel like I should translate. "hey cabron salir de aqui" = "hey ass*#%* get out of here!" "Cabron" may be confused to be a description of a "big goat" but it is not. In the Spanish speaking world it has different meanings beginning with the one I provided you. ...

Call Leslie (generator mechanic) at 787-370-0949 or 787-860-8822 and ask him if he has an used generator for sale that will meet your requirements.

Regularly, each state have their own Rules and Regulations to register a mark. In Puerto Rico, the process is handled by the Department of State. Usually, you may do the trademark procedure through the internet, if your State is "up to date". Mike: Look at the Lanham Act (US Trademark Act, 15 USC 10...

Keith: With that kind of media exposure, slowly you will become a national and even worldwide celebrity. Go find a lawyer that will help you with "trademark" and "patent" issues.

That is f...... amazing work! So jealous of some Faithful talents......

Godspeed! Walter. Your recipes book stands first in my family's library.

Randall:

Thank you for the update.

Rawleigh:

Thanks. I will do so. What did you do and use to remove the old paint and prepare the engine compartment area before painting?

Hueso

I count 18 rod holders.......start fishing! Get her dirty!

PORT SIDE: Seems like the front seal is damaged. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m290/Hueso31/photo1_zps83a0a52b.jpg STARBOARD SIDE: Whole different story. Front seal and crankcase. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m290/Hueso31/photo3_zpsfef4ddbd.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m290/Hues...

Hueso

As always, Thanks for your insight!

Capt. Pat:

Yes, he is doing all that.

Harry:

You are correct, main problem is in the valve cover, intake manifolds and aroun crankcase.

Bruce:

The mechanic specifically told me about that one. Now I'm feeling that I'm doing the correct thing.

Hueso

Faithful: Both my Crusaders 454's are leaking small amounts of oil from many of its gaskets and seals (if not all). My trusted mechanic suggested to pull out both engines and replace all of them, including risers. Also, repaint the engines. The reason he gave me to take them out is to change the gas...

Stay strong, think strong. Be positive! That's all I ask you to do.

Kick ass ride! Love what you did to the "capota" (top cover).

A good friend of mine is hoping in a plane as I write to check on a CABO 35 with what seems to be twin CAT he found through the internet at National Liquidators. He has no experience with diesels. Before committing to the boat he needs someone (marine surveyor/mechanic) to help him. Needless to say,...

I'm not gonna ask you how you know.......

Hueso

Keith:

If you don't mind, for how much did you get the Yannies 315?

Hueso

Bob:

To be honest, at the beginning of your project I thought you were committing a sacrilege. Now, I should go to my priest and ask for pardon. That boat kicks @ss 1,000%. Great masterpiece. It is not easy to re-design a B31. You just did it and with flying colors. "A pescar", my friend!

I'm speechless! ......by the age I think your kids have, I consider that they do not have the slightest idea that they have one of the coolest dads on earth. You have to teach them your trade: Flawless Craftmanship!

LOL....that doesn't happen very often, but this time I don't have an idea in how to get that post back.

I believe this is a good time to re-post what good ole' Capt. Pat wrote in the old Swap and Sell Board describing the people that post and are part of this site....I cannot find it.
