"1982 Trojan Bertram 10 meter sedan, Trojan by Bertram 10 meter (33 ft), diesel Cummins 375 HP"
Now for your viewing pleasure on the one and only, e-bay!

Chanse

What I don't understand is why after colliding with the moored boat they just continued on, not stopping to
determine damage and possible injuries. Its also hard to believe how they obviously have no concept on
how to handle there boat.

Chanse

Yes that seems a better, more reliable system. The additional cost would be well worth it for the piece of mind.
Not sure which would be best with my Rule 3700. But intend to call next week for more info.

Chanse

I installed a new Rule 3700 Pump and a 37A Float Switch two years ago. Pump seems fine however the switch seems unreliable. Have came aboard after rains at times battery has run down other times fuse blown and some times as I step aboard it trips and pumps last time I opened engine box and switch wa...

There's two on this board that always bring me a smile... 1. It's gotta take a lot of brass to name your boat "Morningwood"!!!! 2. And how about "Suziespissed"? Did she turn out to like the boat afterall and she's no longer "Pissed" or did she like the boat but never get over the name and now she's ...

Chanse

Yep, hard to get info on that boat. The 26 has nothing to do with the 25 and is more of a scaled down 28 that has very little to do with the 28. I have only seen ones dated 1976 & 77. Personally I think its a great boat in many ways. As far as the wooly, wooly I have looked at mine many times and ha...

On my B26 I put in storage a long time and when recomissioned I wanted to run it and see what I had. I did this two seasons before putting in the new tank. I live in a area where corn free gas in available at most marinas however I know of some that cheat! Answer was a test kit. Problem is if your a...

Hueso,
Care to trade some time?
All you have to do is wait a few hours for the ferry to break
the ice drive on and another hour or so you are home. That is if it shows up and
after you have made a reservation a mounth in advance.

Wow! Great info, Now I think I finaly understand what happened to a guy i was watching
messing with a tire on a aircraft starter jeep. A huge explosion, a flying tire, rim
and the guys arm!

Chanse

I cured a stbd list by adding bags of shot to port abt midship. I think shot comes in 25lb bags
if I remember right. Then when I got the trim right I put them in kitchen type plastic containers
wraped/sealed w/duct tape. Never had a problem since.

Chanse

Hmmmmmmm, I will be redoing the bridge panel, gauges, switches & switch identifiers. I am intending to use that source again to make the identifing plates (tags) below the before named switches to identify said switches. A switch that preforms the function of "Sling" or "Slinging" the boat is not on...

Chanse

I guess I should add that I recieved the tags very quickly and they real
did a nice job. I intend to use them again when I tackle a few things on the bridge.
Thanks CaptPatrick for the tip.

Chanse

Contacted that site having them make 1" x 3-1/2" per original then I can drill the holes to match the holes on the gunnals. The Lewis Identi-Plates are 1/2" x 1-1/2", But thanks Sim for the offer. I live in the boonies and on an island to boot, lots of loco's but no one local. Thanks guys for the re...

Chanse

Would anyone know where the "SLING" plastic tags on the gunnel could be
purchased? All the ones i've seen are smaller than the ones on my B26.
Thanks.

Pulled into my slip from the travelift using lower station not aware of any problems. Today from bridge (1st time out) backed out of dock, PANIC no control at all, I was all over the place, lucky I ended on another dock no damage to anyone, Still shaken by it. Turns out nothing on upper station but ...

Sim, I wasn't aware that they launched aircraft in any weather.
thanks for the correction.

Chanse

Mark I believe that PBS is showing the military in a more realistic light. It may be different than the way the military would like to be portrayed however. For instance was it a wise call to practice landings when the deck is dropping 30 feet. Is that practice worth risking the lives of the pilots ...

Not viewable where I am now, MEXICO.
I spent a few years on carriers on the bridge seen many
tense landings, most sucessful, some not

Didn't mean to walk on someones thread.
But, RAYBO Marine yes I would luv to see any pics
you may have of the Taco rail. Thanks.

Chanse

I would like to replace and upgrade the rail on my 26. I think hightide
prebends the bow and quarters. I was under the impression you cannot
bend it yourself. Are there any other options

Chanse

Who really knows, but I certainly agree when adding the booze factor in it becomes even more unknown. OK, it's a tough crowd, how about 3%. I don't think the boat complemented the gracefull lines of Natalie. I find it somewhat hard on the eyes, ugly? well nothing special, More like a swollen ChrisCr...

Chanse

I agree should have could have. but wasn't. Natalie was frightened of water. Never even went near there swiming pool at home. Her own mother predicted she would meet her death in the water. If she chose to disembark (which she did) it would have been a last ditch effort on her part to avoid a certai...

Chanse

OK Capt you solved the mystery of the Boat.
Now can you solve the other mystery? the whodonit?

Chanse

Absolutely Unbelievable! I was just kinda fishin' not thinking someone would actually find her. BUT yes thats the ole' TINY TAD sitting in Worton Creek marina waiting for Remanufacture. The marina was kind enough to reply to my inquiry.
Thanks Mack for your observation and reply.

Walt, I was in a couple of those south Pacific typhoons. Some of the Destroyers were stripped of life boats, stacks, even gun mounts. When they would bury there bows into the seas there sterns rose so high you could see there screws spinning in the air. A fire broke out on the ship I was on due to p...

Chanse

TINY TAD was the first B31 that I ever saw. She charter fished salmon out of Waukegan, Ill in the 70â€™s. I fished near her at times to watch that graceful hull cut the water. She was up for sale occasionally and went thru various owners. I would always check her out, but I was only dreaming. Fast f...

Does the Cynoff leave any stains on the sunbrella, fiberglas or other?

Also I never had so hard of a time removing the damn spider drops.
Any magic cleaner or do I have to resort to rubbing compound?

Thanks.

Chanse

Overrun with Spiders, maybe because of the new black FB cover?
anyway I thought i saw something on this site about a spray to use.
searched couldn't find it.
Anyone have any thoughts on something nasty to use? I seem to have way more than usual. TKS.

I'm going to buy a pair of SEI outdrives. I now have the opportunity
to get one in a Lefty. Problem is what props would you run?
I am happy with the 15 3/4 x17 michigans that I use now and they don't have it in LH. I got a pile of the RH's.
Any B26er's running RH/LH outdrives with L6's?

Thank You.

Googled 1 AWG Locomotive cable, seems like there are a number of places that carry it and in various sizes.

Chanse

Thank you for the reply and the info. I will work with these and find a guy to crimp on some tinned copper lugs. These cables feel real heavy. I can't see the ability to tie any knots it would be like working with 3/4 or 1" stiff old nylon.

Chanse

CaptBob are you saying that 2/0 AWG would be the equivilent in size to 1AWG Locomotive 90 deg C1kv? The ends are showing lots of corrosion maybe I should cut them off and have someone crimp new tinned lugs. Don't know whats inside I had assumed there would be corrosion also. Not turning big engines ...
