I have a 72 with 165’s I cruise at 28 @ 3000rpm
If memory serves which it often doesn’t I have 3 blade aluminum 15 x 21

Rawleigh is spot on! I worked for NAPA for years and they are Wix. As above the gold are the best! Why be cheap on an oil filter when it’s so crucial? There are moving parts in oil filters. Springs which bypass excessive pressure and the like. Cheap filter manufacturers use crimped steel as a spring...

Ray we are doing Sheridan in and out. Looking forward to it!

MarkS

I never pull my scupper plugs out....ever. There is no need. Any water on the deck ends up in the bilge and out the through hull. End of the season when I'm pressure washing the deck on the trailer out they come. I sit about the same as yours does. The boot stripe is just under water on both sides a...

MarkS

Good luck!

I run 2 one upper one lower station. I don't know of a down side. I'm always on some obscure channel just in contact with my buddies on the water. In a jamb and one shits out I can holler for help in a hurry.

Dug I received an e-mail this morning from Bonnie at Tropic Star saying that Don Jeremy John and my friend Walter and I are booked to stay at the central hotel. All the other B31 people are staying at the Sheridan and there have been some noise complaints about the Central. She offered to rebook us ...

My go to on this would be a couple of Prestoneburgers.

Tony said,
And I thought you were tough.

No Tony I’m stupid.

In defense of up here vs down there, and down there is pretty hard to say anything bad about, life expectancy of the liver drops way off down there and late July to late October the humidity is oppressive. I remember one October I started sweating when I got off the plane and never stopped until I g...

Captain Omar is a fish killer! We won the last tournament I ran down there on that boat! Tell Tiffany (the office manager) and Ryan (owner/owners son) I said hello! We’ll need a trip report when you get back as well!
And of course have a great time with the family!
Safe travels

MarkS

Done and thank you!

MarkS

Would love a couple. As always I’ll send Bruce some $$

MarkS

Glad to hear Pete and always remember the 3 F’s, although here on a boating sandbox the first is regularly ignored.
If Floats, Flys or F£#k’s, rent it!

MarkS

Did we collect any more carcasses on this trip or is it just 10 or so hearty saps?

The economy of motion. I preach it daily.

MarkS

Tony while you’re at it could you swing over and install mine too?

MarkS

Tony a 25 will go 80 and it doesn’t even flex the flybridge windscreen. Ray knew hydrodynamics as well as aerodynamics.

I have yet to do so but when I asked the same question I was told soundown.

Yannis think of an alien coming at You wearing a banana hammock...

MarkS

Hardest ship to float, a partnership. Been there hated it.

MarkS

Wait, white leasure suits went out?

MarkS

I have friends that have done it! From Green Bay to Nawlins.

MarkS

i couldn't help myself! Those banana hammocks sure are fancy!

LMAO.....

MarkS

It’s good to be king!

MarkS

Is that you wearing the speedo Yannis?

MarkS

No good deed goes unpunished! ;)

Carl out here in flyover there is lots of open country and a lot of barns that have space. Also coming from shirt off my back land there is no problem finding a place for a boat that size or even a little bigger. Please don’t take this the wrong way but I forget about the east coast being crowded wi...

MarkS

I’d pickle it and tuck it away with some family or friends and attend to minimal refreshing when your turn to use her comes full circle. If what you say holds true to you, bought her right and sunk a bunch in her already Why take the beating on trying to find a better girl later? I’m a sentimental a...

MarkS

I’ve stayed at about 15-20 different places in Cabo from cheap dives with a bed and a roof to hot and cold running champagne. Screw the later I’m a fisherman but the wife likes the snooty crap. There are some fun places out there mostly swanky. Last year we stayed out there lots of cliff side hard w...

MarkS

Hey Dug it will be great to finally meet you! I got my downpayments made on Friday so I will be there!

MarkS

Just since I’ve been hanging around he must have had 3 replaced! Hang in there Pete!

MarkS

Keep the quads they are the most fuel efficient 4 barrels you will find for those motors. Find a top shelf carb guy someone who take the time to clean out all the little fuel ports and venturis. I was going to change out a intake and carb on a 350 I have to a aftermarket Holley or Carter (Edlebrock)...

MarkS

You’re probably right Carl. I find as I age my filter continues to degrade. Conversely my bullshit meter seems to be more sensitive.

MarkS

Word on the street is there are some low quality pipe bombs going around.....

Too soon?

MarkS

I’ll call you Sunday Frank

MarkS

MarkS

Thumb screws Dug or bare bulb and rubber hose. Regardless your technique is effective! Carry on....

MarkS

How many bodies do you need Mike to make the discount?

MarkS

I’m in for two as stated earlier

MarkS

That’s down right purdy!!

MarkS

Just my $.02 I just went through this with mine. Dual station seastar my upper was thumping which is the first sign of low fluid. This was a reoccurring issue for me and so I did some home work. It turns out the upper station shows signs first as gravity being your enemy, or in this case your friend...

Ray that story brings a tear to my eye.

Peter Playa Grande is an awesome property! I have stayed there a number of times. The boys will love it1 You can run over to Jansen Inshore Tackle and pick up a couple of 5 piece surf casting rod combos and a couple of Cabo Killers and have them boys out on the beach surf casting at daybreak. It mig...

MarkS

Peter please send an e-mail to my friend Mike Molakides. His email is; cabomike@pacbell.net Reference our conversation and he will take great care of you. The location is as good as it gets for charter dock adjacent accommodations. The rooms are actually very nice with a little kitchenette and dinin...

Peter, Redrum has a 31 and they are kid friendly. The captain of that boat is Omar and he is a fish hawk! www.redrumcabo.com They also have a 33' I think its $650 a day all inclusive. Renegade Mike is great! He is a board member and even though he doesn't post much he is a lover of Bertrams. There a...

Nothing gets you motivated like a spining prop.....

NAPA has a line of belts called “Gold.” They are a bit more expensive and seem to last longer. I have not noticed much of a difference in automotive belts but on the snowmobile they made a huge difference! I just use them on everything and have not been disappointed. Just my $.02

MarkS

Looks great how about no boot stripe?
