Somehow you dug up the 2010 fundraiser page. There is another active thread for 2011.

Tom if our browsing history is any indication of our interests and the types of ads we receive.......

Well we could both name our boats "wet dream" with very different meanings behind it. Mine being a bit easier to explain to family.

PeterPalmieri

I'm not sure how it happened but every time I go to a web site on my iPad or work computer it populates with ads from TSL. Been happening for a week now. These darn things are pretty smart.

PeterPalmieri

Bob,

You should know Todd and a few others are making a double helm seat with a shared center arm now. Most are 48" wide, a bit to large for this purpose.

PeterPalmieri

You are correct walter. You need to step to the side to let them in and out. You can easily do it without letting go of the wheel but certainly a draw back. I do the same when someone wants to swing their legs over the bench anyway so I don't see it as a draw back. On the upside two men can stand co...

PeterPalmieri

The simple answer is they dont :-D The ladder built into the tower is pretty easy to use and allows me a full size cushion on the engine box. I also have a 2 step plastic box that I throw on the engine box when I am going up and down working at the dock. It works as a boarding step at the transom wh...

Here are some pictures in progress, I used a crate and some wood to get the right locations to take measurements. The pictures are before I shimmed up the back and the port side a bit to level things off. http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/912f5f9a.jpg http://i655.photobucket.com...

PeterPalmieri

Thanks Bob that should work. I will pull the liner down over the weekend ahead of installing. BTW I put the pod in place temporarily to get an idea of where I want the seats when thats done. Considering putting a slider in temporarily until the pod project. Tony my headliner has a seam at the forwar...

I'll have the seats installed and swordfish pulpit removed in a few weeks. Will have you down for a beer when she's looking better.

PeterPalmieri

Those aft windows are huge. Is it set up so the glass is viewable all the way down to the engine boxes from the interior out or is there dummy space at the bottom?

PeterPalmieri

This project is being delayed a few weeks. Was going to bring the boat over to a friends marina where the dock bulkheads are low and allow the work to be easy. Of course with the storm they pulled all their boats and still working to get everything back in and the yard in order. It's always somethin...

PeterPalmieri

Wanted to update this thread. And of course a question. I removed the bench seat and mocked up the location of the new seats, it will all fit easily within the existing rail so I luckily don't need to remove the rail or spend money now to have something fabricated. Had the welder down to take measur...

PeterPalmieri

It's a small freakin world. I just about had a Lico family reunion today. Bob, we saw your daughter and chris down at the marina this morning, they werent headed out had a block party back at the house today. We went over to sailors haven. Grabbed the last free slip about 4 slips away from Phoenix, ...

PeterPalmieri

I prefer it like dan. Wouldn't use anything but an iron skillet. If it's a thick steak, more then 2 inches I may hold it on it's sides for 30 secs too.

PeterPalmieri

Did my usual commute over the Robert Moses Causeway this morning the bay was glass calm. In either direction you could see pilings and piles of debri everywhere. Looked like a mine field out there. If your planning on being out on the water anywhere where Irene hit be very careful. Based on what I s...

PeterPalmieri

Here I am. Never touched a piling, the dock or the other boat.

The water was hip height at 10:30am. From what I heard about a foot lower then it was around 8am. It was strange looking at my trim tabs at knee level.

PeterPalmieri

There is a hard top Bahia on yacht world. Some good photos too.

PeterPalmieri

I learned my lesson here. The topic of to haul or not to haul will likely not come up again soon for me. We got lucky and a 4 foot surge on a new moon tide was manageable. If we got the higher end of that 7 feet or more I would have been in trouble staying in the water. God help us if we ever get a ...

PeterPalmieri

Dan, You are absolutely right. Some people don't have a clue. While I was down at the boat on Saturday, other boat owners were asking some interesting questions. Like do you think I should loosen my lines or tighten them. Think I should go home and grab a few extra lines or bumpers. Obviously they d...

PeterPalmieri

Tony,

I don't know that dock is closer to Bobs house. Here in Babylon I only know of two boats that either broke free or flipped.

PeterPalmieri

For those of you not familiar with the area this is a dock exposed to the great south bay. About 4 miles from the fire island (barrier island) across this 4 mile stretch the bay rarely exceeds 10 feet in depth. About 20 miles from the nearest inlet.

PeterPalmieri

Bob, Found some nasty photos of Sayville on Newsday http://cdn.newsday.com/polopoly_fs/1.3128820.1314677395!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/display_600/image.jpg http://cdn.newsday.com/polopoly_fs/1.3128819.1314628867!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/display_600/image.jpg http://cdn.newsday...

While I faired well in the storm. No flooding, no loss of power and the boat is floating. Many did not, we can be thankful it wasn't worse. Some friends on the water have sea water in their house, others are without power or can't get back to their house. It's sad my generator is on it's way to it's...

PeterPalmieri

Sorry about the Koi Bob.

It's a bit ironic that the master of all things electric gets the power surge that knocks everything out. Is this a case of the shoe makers son?

I'm curious after things settled if your wife smiled about the terrible chore of finding new appliances?

PeterPalmieri

It's almost a mile north of the bay. You can see the trees blowing pretty good. Remember at that point in the tide everyone's lines were stretched tight. A good sign was that the village fire department moved their boat into the basin on Saturday night. A few hours after that video I watched the chr...

PeterPalmieri

Mike,

I really need to thank you those small lines tied tight were a life saver.

I found some video on the net of my boat during the storm

PeterPalmieri

Boats made it through, minor roof and siding damage. Flood waters were as high as Gloria, first floor is toast and so is everything down there. It could have been much worse. I hope you guys removed personal items from the 1st floor. Either way I'm glad you made it through without problem. It's jus...

PeterPalmieri

Pretty good gusts here, should get worse before it gets better. No trees down that I can see but bad enough that I'm not going down to the boat.

PeterPalmieri

Did my best. smaller line nice and tight. Normal 1/2 in place and a set of 5/8 with a bit of slack connected to different points.

The good news is fire department boat was moved to my marina. Village employee friend monitoring the erea hourly and has my cell.

Nothing more to do.

PeterPalmieri

I just hope Irene doesn't remove the pulpit for me.

PeterPalmieri

Ed your thinking is it that the small lines will hold it tight in place but break away if there is a massive surge? Stay safe buddy! If we get hit with the worst of it and you need to scramble I'm 30 above sea level. Brick house with a slate roof been there since the 20s. If the phones don't work 70...

PeterPalmieri

Cleats look pretty good but not accessible to underside to have any idea how they are attached to the dock. Some old nails on the pilings that I need to remove. The pilings are about 5 feet above the rub rail at the bow. Will move the boat further from the bulk head and triple the lines. Should be f...

PeterPalmieri

Mike if you wait until high tide on Sunday morning you may not be able to get down to the boat due to flooding or road closures.

I will tie it off the best I can mid day on Saturday and hope I can get back down later to make adjustments.

PeterPalmieri

I've hesitated on this decision. Ran out last night everyone is sold out of everything. I called wise first thing this morning and they are overnighting me the Honda 2000. Can I run both home refrigerators at once with this one? Wouldn't be shocked if it fell off the truck before making it to my door.

PeterPalmieri

Concern is also tie down points Cleats on dock can easily pull loose, I'll run lines to the guard rail in case the cleats give way. Also concerned cleats could break loose on the boat, not sure if it is a good idea to consider tying off on the tower stantions or not. Thankfully mike I took your advi...

PeterPalmieri

I put in a call to the insurance company last night should make sure I confirm my coverage this morning. My boat is on a river about 1 mile north of the bay and I am planning on it remaining there. The question is what's the best technique for adding additional lines? My slip has two poles set towar...

PeterPalmieri

My favorite. In a very large stock pot. Melt butter, add white wine, garlic and herbs (basil, parsley etc). cover two or three inches in the bottom of the pot. Lower heat and steam already cleaned crabs. Time depends on the amount of crabs 30 minutes to 1 hour. Serve over pasta with a roll of paper ...

Dug, My same buddy that gets sick on his 23 regulator found himself leaning over the side of a 60' richie Howell. Another buddy who used to puke over the side of my 22 Robalo barfed over the side of a 62' buddy Davis. Sea sickness sucks and size doesn't matter much. Thankfully it's rare for me. Unle...

After Tuesday's earthquake. FOX news reported the Washington monument is now leaning towards the right, while MSNBC reported it's leaning left. CNBC is reporting S&P downgraded the earth quake to a magnitude of 4 and CNN reports it's viewers along the east coast are tweeting "did you feel that?". Pr...

PeterPalmieri

No interest in a pulpit. Weighing the benefits and draw backs of the zero cavity layout. I can live without and spend money elsewhere. When having more then 300' are you guys connecting multiple lines and if so what connects them. I could imaging 600' Plus of line can be difficult to manage and keep...

PeterPalmieri

While I'm at it I might as well ask the question. Planning on upgrading the anchor rode. While I do use the anchor ball when I'm often short handed, I still plan on storing everything in the locker. I'm thinking 30' of 1/4 chain and 300' of 1/2 3 strand line. Should I be considering anything differe...

PeterPalmieri

Yeah mike. I'm getting there. There are bolts everywhere from the pulpit so it's hard to see what's what. The line isn't properly tied off yet. The anchor chain and line that came with the boat are in bad shape. In the locker is a spare anchor and line as well. I haven't addressed this yet as I've b...

PeterPalmieri

I'm in the old eab plaza in Uniondale. Building shook violently, everyone evacuated safely. My tv mounted to the wall almost fell down.

Safe and orderly evacuation of two 16 floor towers, we have a drill 2x per year.

Hope everyone is safe. [/list]

PeterPalmieri

Took a look this morning. http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/Fishing%20Photos/Bertram%2031/38cdaea5.jpg It's a long reach in there and it's hard to get an idea of where the chock will mount. It may make sense to pull out the old and temporarily mount the chock with washers. Inste...

PeterPalmieri

Mine is not the same as the one pictured above. Instead the entire top is removable no cap.

Mike planning on putting it back where it belongs, just have to pop my head in and make sure there is no backing in place already or other obstructions.

PeterPalmieri

I will have to poke my head into the anchor locker this week and see if I can see the old mounting holes and the space around it.

Mike if you can do it, I can either draw a template from the chock I have or drive it over to you.

PeterPalmieri

Miley,

Exactly what I was looking to know, thanks. Ive got a big old ugly pulpit, guessing I also have filled holes for the chock below it.

Any long island guys have a referral of someone that can make a backing plate for me?

PeterPalmieri

Pretty simple question. I picked up a bow chock from Charlie F.

I'm not sure if they are all the same or not. This particular one has 3 holes, anybody know what size screws/fasteners are used. Washers or a backing plate?

Thanks.
