I sent my Buddy Chris Bruce's old post about a wiring plan, thought some of you who are qualified could take a look...

Any resources for these types of switches or other recommendations?

The boat is over at Raybo and I may order a few parts.... First Bob and Mike used a fold down midship cleat, can't find it online. I've got pop ups on my flats boat but can't find large enough one to hold line over 5/8". Also wondering if I should go pop up / fold down in the bow. I am going with tw...

For anyone making an extended stay the Ocean House in Watch Hill is an absolutely fabulous hotel. Long drive to mystic and real pricy. Not convenient during the rendezvous but if you plan on staying in the area and have money burning a hole in your pocket it's top notch.

PeterPalmieri

Good work Dug! Sounds like it will be a blast, we are gonna miss one heck of a time. We went to the seaport and aquarium back in the fall. Seeing the Morgan in dry dock and the baluga whale were highlights.

PeterPalmieri

Personally wouldn't wear it but I've got a couple of friends who do way to much bitchin while fishing

PeterPalmieri

very nice!

PeterPalmieri

Tony, Figuring my boating will be cut short around 4th of july as Shannon is due 8/10, as I won't want to be caught far from home, first baby came 4 weeks early. Then I should be able to get some fishing in for the fall. Most of my spring and early summer fishing is on the flats. The good news is I'...

PeterPalmieri

So I got side tracked, figured I'd see if you all have made better progress then I have.... The boat is still over at Raybo, my wife is 3 months pregnant and I've now got two rooms (one being a bathroom) completely gutted in the house. I had to search for this thread just to remember what I know I h...

Gert,

Is the a new panel or refurbed original? If its new more details please.

PeterPalmieri

Gert,

I'm assuming that is where island girl is usually tied up?

PeterPalmieri

Bob,

We are the exception these days and won't find out before hand.

PeterPalmieri

Thanks guys we are very excited and look forward to many future family NE rendezvous trips.

Starting this weekend I have a huge list of stuff to do around the house including a new bathroom.

Gisele could have done many things in response to the comments made to her. The best option was probably to take the high road and say nothing. Rather then stoop down to a few drunk fans level She instead responded by throwing her husbands teammates under the bus. The safety, tipped pass, balls thro...

IRguy

Looking at your signature I can't help but think this is self incriminating evidence.

PeterPalmieri

Won't be there. I can let the cat out of the bag Shannon is pregnant due Aug 10. We are very excited, but no big trips a week before.

Harv can I put in an order for an infant size rendezvous T?

PeterPalmieri

I will fess up to being unsure. I'd consider myself a bayman and can get around the bay in any conditions no problem. My offshore experience is a straight line from the inlet head buoy. I always know my distance and course heading to get back. I need to work on my skills.

PeterPalmieri

Jets fan here. I thought it was a good game and since my wife is a giants fan I happily cheered against the Pats. When they showed the replay of krafts reaction to the last play I felt terrible for him. Not a madonna fan but I thought it was one of the better halftime shows in recent history.

PeterPalmieri

I've got the box of money and baseball cards!

Actually just postcards of them that Randall gave to me when I got the nickel tour. I feel lucky just to have seen his work and the shop in person.

PeterPalmieri

I believe my goodfellas quote threw us off track. Gert please come back and take a bow.

PeterPalmieri

Bobmx,

I am no expert on engines but I did board that boat and take a look a few times. Also spoke to the guy that did some of the interior work.

My takeaway was either cutting access or remount the engines I don't think you have any other choice but open the hatch and measure it.

PeterPalmieri

Saers boat that was over in Whitewater in Sayville. She is a real beauty with the majority of the work done.

The one open item on the boat to me was that the motors are mounted so far forward up against the bulkhead I can't imagine how you'd change a belt. What are your thoughts on that?

PeterPalmieri

Welcome bob. What boat did you buy? When you get settled Ill bug you for more info on the north rip

PeterPalmieri

Regarding my original post I just remembered they run a few game fisherman too

PeterPalmieri

More on day one of my trip to the fly fishing show in NJ. I went to a seminar with Andy Mill an Olympic skier turn world record holding tarpon fisherman. Learned how to apply a real 12 lbs of drag using an 11 wt fly rod and 20lb class tippet. Also spent an hour with Jake Jordan who's the expert on b...

Vic, being an of Italian decent and family from NYC its hard to not be interested in mob stuff. It was all around my dad as a kid in east Harlem but discrete nobody asked questions. I do hope we meet Vic. I've got two good stories for you 1st is my grandfathers cousin who was Unberto Anastasios barb...

PeterPalmieri

Long story short. Talked to an expert on fishing billfish on the fly. Down in guatamala the lodge only runs Merritt, Rybovich and whiticar. Said IGFA did a study don't know all the details but 8% of the boats that entered their billfish tournaments were wood but won 60% of the tournaments. Anyone kn...

PeterPalmieri

Spoke to bob. He's open those days big barracuda and permit. I've got his card if you need contact info

PeterPalmieri

This is a great place! Let me steal the lines from goodfellas - "A friend of ours" is a made guy in the mafia. This term is used when a mobster is introducing another mobster to his mobsterfriends. When a mobster is introducing a friend who is NOT a mobster to his mob friends, he will say that the p...

PeterPalmieri

I know nothing of how the occupants were thrown from the boat. Regardless it's amazing that 3 1/2 years later that thing is still floating. Especially given it made its way via the north Atlantic.

PeterPalmieri

Will do. I know a bunch of guides up here that use him for their permit on the fly quest.

First time I've heard someone refer to KW as up there.

I'll get back tomorrow, latest Saturday.

PeterPalmieri

26 regulator. Maybe they'll make it into a commercial.

PeterPalmieri

If you want Tarpon, bonefish and permit on the fly. I know a lot of guys that use Bob Beighley. Personally don't know what's running in feb. but I'll see Bob on Friday at the fly fishing show in NJ if you want me to ask him.

PeterPalmieri

Buju. I know your just busting chops but it's nice to get in the lee on the backside of an island and travel 10 miles in flat calm water when the channels are kicked up with a 2-3 foot tight chop.

PeterPalmieri

Classic beauty!

JP I am the exact opposite spent the past 7 years with a flats boat. Now with the Bertram I have to color inside the lines again. I will admit I love doing 35 in 6" of water but it freaks people out.

PeterPalmieri

It looks like I will have plans that will keep me away this year, I'll know for sure after the superbowl. So in my case if there is a year it's. Not on LI it's a good one for me.

PeterPalmieri

Beautiful boat but as JP said I'd either need to cut in some windows or add a puke bucket.

I really like the open cubbies on the bridge. Small thing but useful when you want a thermos or a hat and gloves up there.

PeterPalmieri

Charlie I am exhausted just driving to work. Thankfully no shoveling involved!

PeterPalmieri

Just beautiful!

I'll 3rd the motion on more gauge info.

PeterPalmieri

Frank,

Bob Lico recommended 4" foam for my engine box cushions, friends and family couldn't be happier.

PeterPalmieri

Interesting I would never have thought to link the two. I wish I could explain it well but I'll have to ask the mechanic, after the rebuild I burnt out a few fuel pumps and he had to do something to increase the flow rate at the recomendation of the guy the block was sent too Not sure exactly what b...

PeterPalmieri

Marlin,

Can you throw us frozen northerners a bone and post an update?

PeterPalmieri

I'm sure you guys all have projects before the boat hits the water in the spring, so what is it? My boat is over at Raybo waiting to get that mess under the old pulpit cleaned up. Also picked up my ditch bag and am working on filling it with all the goodies I hope I never need. When I get the boat b...

PeterPalmieri

No can you imagine someone new to the area. Why the heck is there a light house in the middle of the island?

Then they pull up their GPS chart and the inlet isn't clearly marked just says SPOILS AREA.

PeterPalmieri

What really amazes me looking at these old maps is how significantly things have changed over time especially looking at that map from 1873. and thinking how different it was 300 or 400 years ago

Now in the past 50 years we've done everything we can to keep it exactly the same.

PeterPalmieri

So sorry Brew, sounds like she's created a lot of wonderful memories for you and your family. You'll see her again.

PeterPalmieri

These seem to be common down in FL but not so much up in the NE. Any idea of any place they can be bought off the shelf? I've seen a few that have a slot on top to allow a fly rod or small spinning combo but also have a pin for gimbled rods. http://www.sheaffermarine.com/www.sheaffermarine.com/F_5.J...

What I learned in the east coast earthquake in August, we all evacuated the building, went down the stairs and outside. We were told by the fire Marshall that the safer bet was to shelter in place, either under a table or doorway. Was also told the most dangerous place to be is just outside a buildi...

PeterPalmieri

Frank,

I'm curious what's he asking for it?

PeterPalmieri

I read somewhere only 86 inboards were made between 75-79, not sure if that is accurate.

As I said in the original post Chris would have prefered an inboard and I'm sure if one come up for the right price he'd abandon the outboard project.
