I was thinking maybe it was a silver hawk. What kind of power does it have?

PeterPalmieri

What is it?

PeterPalmieri

I recently met a man named chick from oak beach he's got a brother and is likely in his mid 70s same guy? He's in the south shore marlin and tuna club?

PeterPalmieri

Thanks for the offer bob it's pretty late in the season and cold. Although I am sure Chris would love to come and take a look at it at some point.

I still have to stop down there anyway and take more notes of my own.

PeterPalmieri

Here is Chris, sure he's lurking and appreciates the help. Best day of his life, today that is, just bought a classic potter hull. Funny enough bought it from the brother of the guy I bought my 31 from. Shows up to take a look and wouldn't you know it same slip my boat was in. http://i655.photobucke...

PeterPalmieri

A potter hull was part of his master plan. Would have liked to find an inboard hull but when the right deal comes along minutes from home it's hard to pass up.

On the motors it's already got yami gauges and rigging so a 4s or HDPI are his first choice to make things easy.

PeterPalmieri

Thanks rob but it's a 25"

Tomorrow I have to use the bertam to tow that boat from Islip to Babylon. If I have time I was hoping to stop in and say hello.

PeterPalmieri

Thanks JP. This boat has a transom splash well but scuppers go down to bilge, likely the first thing to address. He's going to have to figure out what the right weight is, I think the hull was rated up to 500hp but weight will be very important. The current 200 seems to be right, guessing the 4s ver...

PeterPalmieri

A buddy of mine just bought a 1980 23 sea craft that he's gonna rebuild. It has a blown 1996 200hp Yamaha and no trailer. It's good enough to use with a running motor. If anyone knows of a good deal on a used outboard please pass it along, preference is a 200-225 Yamaha 4s. Something cheap that give...

PeterPalmieri

Thanks for the link will check it put when I have some time to kill.

Figuring out how to order a print from the library of congress is a mess.

PeterPalmieri

Bob, I don't think I have a high opinion of R Moses could have changed things but not sure it could have been worse. He also erected the projects in east Harlem, once the home owed by my GG grand parents. Eminent domain and they went from owning a 4 story building with marble stair cases to renting ...

PeterPalmieri

Great history! Thanks for sharing. It is pretty cool to see the old ferries from Babylon Village dock used to cut through Snake Hill channel to get to Fire Island. That's steamboat not snake hill. Notice how captree was one big island before they cut in the state channel and draw bridge. Also on th...

PeterPalmieri

Very cool map. Have to see if I can order a print from the library of congress.

PeterPalmieri

This map says the jetty was built in 1950, also it's unknown how old this is as much of the current western movement is not shown

My best guess is fire island extends to about where the N on the compass is today.

PeterPalmieri

Did a little more reading to get what seem to be facts.

The inlet broke through in 1683, the lighthouse was built in 1858. The inlet is now 6 miles west of that.

PeterPalmieri

Bob you may especially appreciate this. Last night I met a guy in his mid 70s who's family has been spending summers at Oak Beach since before he was born. It was my first time meeting him so I could only grill him so much. As far as the inlet goes the old jetty that's covered up on democrat point w...

Tony I'm guessing "whole Paycheck" is actually "whole foods".

PeterPalmieri

Can't tell you guys how many times I've posted a question here and behind the scenes one of the guys called me within minutes and said let me give you the long version or when can I meet you down at the boat.

Capt Patrick leads by example, it's a wonderful place.

PeterPalmieri

I'm gonna guess we will continue to be amazed. Just imagine what people must have thought when steam engines in mid 1700s, the light bulb, telephone or wireless telegraph was invented in the mid 1800s or talking movies in the 1920s. Now imagine my ten year old nephew explaining the many uses of an i...

PeterPalmieri

JP, Thanks for keeping me in check with some of my off the wall newbie ideas. I appreciate the tough love Great call on the terez rods, had a bunch of bass and blues on them. Hope to get into the BFT in 2012. Had a great time at the rendezvous, fly fishing with Brew, Walter and Randall as well as a ...

PeterPalmieri

Just looking back and trying to summarize some things. Cummins 270s run 17-18k per motor plus 3-4k for gears? So were talking 42k all in. Since Santa is installing rockys motors there were no other costs thrown out. So I've heard thrown around about 75k installed there a bouts from time to time. So ...

PeterPalmieri

To echo a few others. A friend recently repowered his 23 regulator with an F250. When considering the additional cost of the 300, minimal WOT increase and worse consumptions numbers the f250 made more sense.

You should see if you can find the yamaha performance bulletin of your current hull

PeterPalmieri

Vic, There are about 100 31s listed on yacht world. Many of them are north of $120k they range from total refit to an original boat with nice gas motors. Then there are boats between 50k and 100k that again range from total refit diesels to less then desirable gas boats. It doesn't seem to make much...

PeterPalmieri

There are so many diesel B31s on yacht world this is one I really like how it was done.

PeterPalmieri

Very cool, unique layout that's well thought out.

Just think if your going to that level of customization you have to realize the likelihood of recouping the investment is low.

At the same time I've seen some new boats that are more money and not half the boat.

PeterPalmieri

Is that bahia built on a b31 hull or just "inspired" by it. The ad is a bit ambiguous.

PeterPalmieri

Excellent info. A lot I never heard anywhere else.

PeterPalmieri

It is my understanding that hunter, huntress and sea blitz were wood boats. As was the original moppie which was used to make the mold. I could be wrong.

Rob while I have you let me know when that trailer frees up.

PeterPalmieri

I Have an iPad and hesitated but am going to go for it now.

PeterPalmieri

That boat has been on yacht world for 18 months now.

Nice looking boat but I'm sure I can get my boat exactly where I want it for less then $230,000. Or at least enjoy trying.

PeterPalmieri

Found in another book. 40 anniversary Bertram I'll paraphrase. The boat Bertram saw in Newport was acting as a tender to Easterner a racing yacht built by hunt for the 1958 Americas cup. This boat they refer to as a prototype also acted as a tender to Sceptre a British Americas cup racing boat. Paul...

PeterPalmieri

The picture I posted could be Sea Blitz? "The deep-vee begins to emerge in Hunt's 1949 design, Sea Blitz, which was commissioned by Hunt enthusiast Bradley Noyes. The bow sections are straighter and Hunt increased the deadrise noticeably, carrying it aft with virtually no flattering. Instead of a br...

PeterPalmieri

That looks a lot like this one.....

This picture is from the hunt design site.

PeterPalmieri

So have you been on the Intrepid? Looks like a great boat, great fishing and awesome food.

PeterPalmieri

They have video of that boat too. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

There is a video "marlin at the gate" with a bunch of B31 footage.

Thanks for bringing this one up this is the thread I tried to link to.

As far as rafts go I cannot afford both survival suits and a raft in one shot. What's the better first purchase?

PeterPalmieri

I agree Vic, most of my ocean fishing is within a few miles of the beach. Far enough that I'm not swimming in. Just want to avoid drowning or hypothermia and be found. Water, first aid and sunblock are nice but I want to make sure someone knows where I am. Suits and a raft will come but not yet. Got...

Yes brew knows

Up until now I've been using the express ditch bag from my flats boat for the 31. I've found an older thread here with great information but have a few specific questions. Keep in mind I will in the near term not venture more then 30 miles from land. Should mention I used the defender gift certifica...

PeterPalmieri

Gert,

I am at a loss for words, you're doing things in days that others take years.

What did you do to the window frames? Were they removed? Painted or powder coated?

PeterPalmieri

Walter I heard today was non stop teen to 30lb fish on herring in montauk. Don't have any details but did see two nor east reports that seem to back it up.

PeterPalmieri

Bob, Didn't get a chance to call you on Sunday night. We fished the inlet until 3 on Sunday. No fish BUT we watched a guy who had a live well full of shad catch 4-6 fish a drift. Must have landed 20 fish in an hour and a half. We had some fish that hit but didnt hook up That live well just moved up ...

Face,

Up here most guys would use an umbrella rig with shad bodies for a similar effect. Is that something you guys do?

PeterPalmieri

Happy thanksgiving! Figured I'd post up quick for the local guys. Not much happening today, bait is very scattered. No body on the radio hooked up jigging. Few fish trolled and some blues early. Clams on the west bar was slow too. We didn't find anything at all, what a difference with the storm. May...
