Thank you very much Capt Patrick and Rawleigh. My thru hulls with inboard strainers are located just inside the shaft logs. Crash valves should be center line of the boat, I'd assume the current location is not optimal. Pairing the bilge strainer with the service adapter on the sea cock would seem t...

PeterPalmieri

So what's the details about the crash valve Plates with the holes in them. Are those stock items or custom?

You change the water flow by closing the tru hull and open the crash valve, they both feed into the tee. If the leak isn't too big, you might need to keep the tru hull open too.

Tom

Understood I just don't see the crash valve. Is it at the end of the hose, inline?

PeterPalmieri

If walter is dumb then I'm dumber.

After looking at the pics in the link I see the SW intakes and shut off valve. I also see the T fitting on the side of the motor but I don't see where you switch from the thru hull to the pipe in the bildge.

Not the first time I've been called dumber.

Bob, I love you Montauk guys throwing back 45lb schoolies not even interested in snapping a photo to share with the rest of us. I am planning on running down to sunken forest (about 15 miles east from the inlet) on Sunday. Will be very happy if we find fish and great day if we get a few over 20lb. O...

PeterPalmieri

There is no place in the world like Montauk in the fall. Thanks for the report Walter. Last Friday I was out in Montauk about 2 miles from where Walter is talking about. No bass but 10-12lb false albacore everywhere and relatively easy to hook with a fly rod. Just amazing how you can have two bodies...

I sprayed all my window frames with CX. It cleaned them up nice. It was however dripping off for a week or so, made a bit of a mess. And needed to clean the windows a few times.

PeterPalmieri

So I'd like to replace the plywood backing in the anchor locker while I am putting back the bow chock, deck pipe and moving the cleats. Can I use coosa board for this? And if so how? As I understand I can not use self taping screws into the coosa and everything needs a backing plate. Is this a good ...

PeterPalmieri

Did some research over the weekend on electric cars. The chevy volt 40 miles on electric also has a gas motor. Nissan leaf 100 miles and then plug in. Not enough range to interest me, as I commute 70 miles per day. Leaves little to no wiggle room. The tesla has options for 200-300 miles per plug in....

PeterPalmieri

Would love to see it. Maybe during the week?

PeterPalmieri

While I don't drink on the boat I still love the premise. Not sure where the safety gear and electronics will go but I'll be damned if I can't get a cold beer while up on the bridge. Is that a cebrera v birth kit as well? Can you tell me the cost or pm if you don't want to post it publicly. Did it d...

PeterPalmieri

Spencer that is a lot of work, looks great. There is a drop out box under the pod, is that going to hold electronics or be a foot rest? Looks to me that it will hold gauges or electronics like zero cavity but also with the box glassed in as a seat base it seems it would interfere with leg room. Mayb...

PeterPalmieri

As it turns out there was plywood glassed in very poorly supporting the deck in the anchor locker and there is no plywood under the headliner accept where it supports the windshield. It was to hard to get a decent pic with lack of light. Wood doesn't seem wet but the glass holding it up is poorly do...

PeterPalmieri

Apparently after a lot of backlash and hassling from a few senators they will not sell data for people who have cancelled service. Only paying customers.

PeterPalmieri

Been looking a few up. Spanish fly is on outdoor channel. Don't think I get it at home will have to check. I do get versus and the only thing I ever see on is tred barta. I'll have to check the schedule.

PeterPalmieri

While I know some don't have positives to say about shipshape tv. I can say when the show first came out it was an eye opener for me. I really had no idea of how many businesses there were out there that focused on refurbishing and upgrading boats. It also provided some weekend morning entertainment...

PeterPalmieri

That's a heck of a boat for the money. Best of luck!

PeterPalmieri

Thanks so much guys. I'll spend some time over the weekend and do everything short of turning off the fuel valve. Come back the following weekend and see how we do. If the problem persists I'll try shutting off the valve. Makes sense? Harry no noticeable change in the dipstick but I have noticed a s...

PeterPalmieri

Harry, I am embarrassed to say I don't know.

PeterPalmieri

Walter was planning on taking your advice and headed to the boat on the way home. Of course it started right up. Will check everything as you suggest during the week c

PeterPalmieri

The port motor starts right up and then stalls. I prime it and eventually get it to turn over and it runs fine but takes some work. Only happens when it sits for a few days or more. The starboard motor starts right up and runs no problem. most time needs no priming. I believe I've read about this in...

PeterPalmieri

Russ,

Boat looks great, one picture is not enough stop teasing and spill the goods.

BTW do you have a friend from W Islip that fly fishes from a 16' Lund?

PeterPalmieri

JP, Typo on my part. Tried to sneak in that post before dinner.

Didn't realize the trevala F butterfly jig rods were $220. I havent spent enough time but $40 more for the terez seems like a no brainer.

PeterPalmieri

Bob, Was down at the shop in Babylon. None of the star drag reels engage by turning the handle. They are all manual, accept smaller baitcasters like a Calcutta or 975. Anything bluefin capable at least. The Avet MX isn't much more work then a star drag reel, that part of the question is answered pre...

PeterPalmieri

Walter politics aside, thats not a road any man should travel.

I can see it now you head off to montauk for a day of fishing, your wife heads to east Hampton to browse the boutiques.

PeterPalmieri

Very poorly played. You've got three no cost options here. "that old thing, we've had that for years" Or "I traded that table saw I never use to my buddy Carl for a bike, pretty cool Hun!" Or "you know my buddy Harry from the B31 site, he hurt his back and can't ride anymore. He said we can use it i...

PeterPalmieri

I was there ..... be glad you were not. People stepped up and did great things, but you didn't want to be there. You guys are both right! My wife drove in to get to the news desk, her press pass got her on a closed 59th St bridge, for a very unique view of a falling tower. The best man in my weddin...

PeterPalmieri

Bob I'm still figuring some of these things out. A big advantage to a 975 is you drop it in free spool and when you turn the handle the reel engages. With an Avet or any level drag you need to engage and disengage, it's a bit of a pain since diamond jigging bass is 3 or 4 turns and drop again. The A...

PeterPalmieri

JP,

Went to a tackle shop during lunch. Those terez rods are unbelievable. The 7' MH paired with an Avet MX looks like a small bass rod but can handle blue fin no problem. The technology these days is unreal.

PeterPalmieri

I've got a couple of Calcutta 700s with 30# line on Diawa 7' heavy casting rods I use for small yellowfin jigging, cobia, tarpon and the like. Spinning reels just don't have the leeverage to handle strong fish in a hurry....takes too long. At TSL this year we were casting for bonito bait and caught...

PeterPalmieri

Thanks JP. What model of the terez rods do you use? The seeker Hercules rods are great for jigging and chunking but from what I understand don't hold up well for trolling. Would love one set that trolls, chucks and jigs. While my current situation is limited to near shore its a long term investment ...

PeterPalmieri

Bob, I am in. It funny that you mention it because I am in the process of researching some heavier jigging rods for bass in the ocean and small blue fin. I currently only have light tackle and fly fishing stuff. Looking at Seeker Hercules rod and Avet reel for bluefin jigging. Something a bit smalle...

PeterPalmieri

The liner is down in my v berth and there is no ply wood. Forward of the locker compartment is a bit of a mess I will have take pictures with a real camera w/flash and see what's there. To the sides of the bow hatch is a bit "springy". I did notice when putting in the bridge seats factory glassed in...

PeterPalmieri

JP, I really like that location allows the cleats to move back and also allows the line to easily flow out of the deck pipe and around a cleat. Has anyone considered splitting the locker so in use anchor line is on one side and additional line can be on the other without having to dig out underneath...

PeterPalmieri

Bob,

You've got some good ideas, I'm gonna steal this one too. I will likely turn the hawsepipe 90 degrees though. Anything you would have done differently?

PeterPalmieri

Mike,

I am going to take you up on the offer just have measure where the cleats are going to go.

PeterPalmieri

Edited for you

PeterPalmieri

Think I am going to go with the bow chock, two cleats and a larger oval hawes pipe centered behind the cleats. Also need to move the anchor holding bracket forward to it's original position.

As far as the two cleats go, should I use a metal backing plate or epoxied ply?

PeterPalmieri

Good point Gerry. I don't mind making a mess of the deck while fishing but when we've got the family and friends out for a cruise having the anchor and line in the cockpit would be a drag. I also don't regularly anchor in big water. Love the remote very slick.

PeterPalmieri

Vic I've already got an anchor ball system and use it on occasion. My problem is I don't always have an extra hand on the boat. Just wife and two year old son. When fishing with the guys it's no problem. While the liner is down and repairing holes I want to weigh some options my default is the bring...

PeterPalmieri

Great interview on 60 minutes. A real sad situation.

PeterPalmieri

Todd,

The other thing to consider is that in today's market a boat with diesels is cheaper then a gas boat and a repower. If you are thinking long term it is something to consider.

Welcome. Pete

PeterPalmieri

Thanks Walter. I'm planning on having two cleats.

Thinking about the idea of a windlass with no roller or pulpit. Let the windlass do most of the work just the last few feet by hand.

PeterPalmieri

Gerry could you give me more details of the functionality of this setup?

PeterPalmieri

She is coming along. Looks a million times better, from ten feet away. http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/dcaed1d2.jpg Up close you can see it's not gonna be easy http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/fb384254.jpg And since I had the rare occasion of both babies ...

PeterPalmieri

Thanks Bob, would not have had such a nice final product without your insight. It was a pleasure to run the boat, I leaned back and drank my coffee with a big smile!

PeterPalmieri

As you saw I got the seats just where I wanted with a crate and shims. He came down and took some measurements. Came back a week later with the legs about 3" longer then necessary. He cut them down and got them close. We then put the seats on to get it as level as we could. He temporarily screwed do...

PeterPalmieri

The pulpit is no more! I had the boat yard remove it this morning. http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/Fishing%20Photos/Bertram%2031/2276743_11.jpg http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/Fishing%20Photos/Bertram%2031/2276743_10.jpg Apparently there are also plenty ...

PeterPalmieri

Hey Capt Mike, I am one of the new guys. You seem to have made a lasting impression even with an extended absence. Welcome back. The flip up bolsters IMO would be the best option for this setup, really comfy to stand up or sit down. And would allow the seat to be closer to be snugged in while sittin...
