According to the Donagan Patent the residents of Southhampton and East Hampton have the right to fish without any licence forever. This was granted to us by King James the II and cannot be taken away ever.

The best 31 summer event was going 2hours and 10 min by myself to the Bertram Rendezvous in Point Judeth RI. The drone of the motors and the spray of the sea, being with myself cruising in my 31 Bertram,WOW. I still after all these years cant belive I am so lucky as to own one. "Feel the ride, live ...

No Harry, closed the store upstairs so I would not lose money this winter. I have one worker still here to help pack out the orders for the airlines. I make more off one good airline order than running the store for two years. If you see my truck here stop in. Randall came by yesterday it was great ...

Not to start anything, but; long line fishing on the grand banks was not, and is not, the problem. It was the long liners down south where the fish breed. Its closed now to longliners and known as an EEZ. Since it has been closed ,about 6 years, the population of swordfish has gone way up. The Ameri...

I just posted it incase it could help some one here. I am known for taking hooks out of people. I did three this summer. Two hands and a head. Taken maybe 60 or 70 out altogether. My advise is do it right away before it gets sore all around the hook.

UV thats great to hear you are back feeling better. I second the new recipe if you could.

The sail is to hold it from rocking when they are working on deck. Not that Billy Joel used it for work.

You did the right thing. Like UV says" its all in the iron".

Harv, I take people fishing and they say they like to be able to see land and I tell them once you get 1 inch farther than you can swim its all the same. 50-50-50 is what I was taught.50% of people can swim 50 feet in 50 degree water. I knew four guys who fished out of Montauk for sharks. For a tour...

I may have more safty stuff on my boat than most people, because I am responsible for my crew. People I know have the just what the regs say they have to have. I think they are asses. They have money for rods and beer ond fancy electronics but buy a cheap raft small flares and life jackets that you ...

Brewster Minton

Very cool!

Brewster Minton

How about a pic of the boat?

The engines I sold to RussP were great and I miss them when I want to high speed troll for Wahoo at 17-18 knts the Yanmars dont like going that speed. The pyromiters go up 150 degrees at 18knts.

Brewster Minton

I hated to tell you those numbers but thats what they are. It can be done for less if you get rebuilds and do the work yourself. I got my Yanmar lp6s (315hp) for 24,000 for both out of a boat that was getting new engines so he could go faster. Sold my old ones and had to buy shafts and trannys and w...

Brewster Minton

Please send to hbminton@msn.com thanks

Brewster Minton

Everybody will chime in Im sure. It depends on if shafts are right size and new wheels I would think for new engines and all the stuff you might need about 80,000.

Brewster Minton

You would think somebody would have checked.

In 1966 my Bahia Mar was 17,500. in todays dollars about 250,000.

At least you had 5 waxed liferafts onboard if it did sink.

I want to be nice. For 40 hours a year you should rent a boat. There is the saying " If it flaots, flies, or f#$ks you should rent it". I have three boats but I live on one, the second is my 31 Bertram that I put 1000 hours a year on,48hours a trip, and a skiff to fish in the mornings before work. I...

Brewster Minton

If you dont use but 40 hours a year, that could cause some problems. Boats do better some times with more use, ie: power running through the wires, pumps running, electronics warmed up, engines running, turning the fuel over in the tank. Batteries like to get charged up. My guess for seven years wit...

It throws pumpkins?

Brewster Minton

I have the same cables for 15 years. A couple shots of CX now and then and there fine.

Brewster Minton

Bob, No worries mate!!

Brewster Minton

Its almost as dirty as mine!

Brewster Minton

It was awsome to see everyone. Giff and Dug did a great job setting everything up. It was the only free time I have had in a year and could not have spent it better.

Brewster Minton

I am coming on friday, going to meet Neil off Montauk at 1030 or 11am and run over. Had to sign up late cause of devorce stuff. see everyone there!!!

Brewster Minton

That is great news UV.

Brewster Minton

maybe we could put an engine on the back deck with a big propeller and make a 31B airboat!

Brewster Minton

Atlantis on the back NE side of the swirl yellows to 80# and marlin also. Everywhere else small yellows.

Brewster Minton

Captbone, I have some out board boats also, and love them. What is bad about the new larger 250s 300 and 350s is they do blow up more than they should. As always older engines were better in many ways than some of the new 4 strokes. And it is true that many people will never see 1000 hours because t...

A dealer I know has been fixing blown up new outboards all summer. The 250s and 300s are blowing up pretty fast. Yamaha does not want to talk about it nor do many of the others. Many have gone in less than 100 hours. He says the good ones only last maybe 1000 hours at best. At 27000.$ a pop and two ...

Ya, but his work costs big $$$$

Harry you can do it.

If someone was to make them I would love to buy one for sure.

Giff I would like 12 shirts XL please and I will get the money off asap.
