It is definitely ethanoled. It cranks but doesn't run, it's been an ongoing issue but I think this is it. Sounds like it's not getting fuel I'm hoping it's not catastrophic. This happened once before and simply went away. My guess is with a bit of a lumpy ride yesterday some of that gummed up crap l...

Coming home yesterday with my parents, wife, son, niece and nephew my starboard motor decided to kick out at 20 knots. I was about a mile from the river I keep the boat on and another mile and a half to the dock. Thanks to brews advice, since I don't have the oversized rudders I keep a 5 gallon lowe...

Hey guys this will be my first over night trip on the Bertram. A few questions. I do not have a gererator or inverter but I do have shore power. Thinking about bringing a small microwave and coffee maker from the house. Also a small camping BBQ. Will of course load up the cooler with drinks, fruit, ...

PeterPalmieri

Hey Harv. I just got back from vacation last night I will send a check today. Sorry for the delay.

PeterPalmieri

Best of luck Mark, you guys are doing great!

PeterPalmieri

We are starting to hear more and more reports of people catching threshers around the bunker pods, mostly by accident few people targeting them.

JP, you netting bunker and grinding them fresh on the boat? Keeping the baits on the surface? Any other advice for us?

Carters first fishing trip

His hand was on the rod for a short fluke. Must have wiped him out. My most memorable day on the water. He will be 2 in august.

PeterPalmieri

I spent all three days of the holiday weekend on the water. Between CG, Suffolk police and DEC one was almost always in site within the bay. As was sea tow and boat US, waiting for the idiots. I for one follow all the rules so I don't mind a spot check here and there. I wish the authorities would fo...

PeterPalmieri

Harry. There are two good books by Havemeyer. That talk about hotels, bay beaches etc from Babylon to blue point. I saw a presentation a few years back at the local library really interesting stuff.

Another cool video

PeterPalmieri

There is a local guide in Babylon al lorenzetti who has site where locals post fishing reports. www.skimmeroutdoors.com I found it posted there originally. It said it's from 1936. Likely Collins Ave in sayville was named after his family. I grew up in sayville and mentioned the video to Bob Lico but...

I recently found out on my boat..... I have 2 batteries and 2 battery switches each says 1,2, both or off. From the factory they are wired basically on and off, one battery dedicated to each motor and will not charge off the other motor. Parallel switch on the bridge allows me to start either engine...

PeterPalmieri

What do you know about these guys? There is a station in Bay Shore, better known as the Point of Woods Gas dock. The claim is specially formulated marine fuel, and the guys at the dock say no need for additional additives. Any different then the rest? http://www.valvtect.com/marineFuelGasoline.asp "...

PeterPalmieri

Tommy, good questions. I will be interested in hearing the experts. I believe most of the engine hours were put on pre ethanol. The boat has been out of the water and for sale for some time now prior to the current owner. There is a another B31 in my marina with newer gas motors and a fiberglass tan...

PeterPalmieri

Even at 27k it seems like a good price if the motors don't have ethanol issues. 15k would seem like a steal.

PeterPalmieri

The pictures on the listing are from when that boat was for sale at whitewater boats in sayville. I do believe there was an older thread and guys here knew the boat. I am almost certain the guy that bought the boat is the same person I bought my boat from. He was planning on redoing the interior thi...

PeterPalmieri

Thanks guys.

PeterPalmieri

Hey guys was planning on taking out my boat to go sharking on the fly tomorrow. As it turns out I'm not all that comfortable that the boat is running good enough to make the run without worry. Another story. In any case my buddy that I am making the trip with just moved his boat, 23 regulator out to...

PeterPalmieri

Amazing.

PeterPalmieri

I have to say I got a bit of a laugh from Harrys explanation of the dangers of the Harlem river, although I am not surprised. Marlin, another thought that may effect your decision. The long island sound is the quickest route to Mystic, you will also have the opportunity to fish for bass and bottom f...

I would agree safer, easier and shorter to run the sound rather then the ocean and around montauk Is it possible to not go around the southern tip of manhattan and go through the Harlem River? I would guess Bob Lico would have a few contacts to help you out, last I heard he was going to be offline g...

Not sure I will be boating a thresher anytime soon but I'd still like know how you sever the spinal cord.

PeterPalmieri

Very cool. I haven't heard up my way of really being able to target threshers specifically. Although I haven't really given it much thought. I was under the assumption it was just you and the kids on the boat. I've boated a few threshers with a crew of guys and it can be very dangerous getting that ...

PeterPalmieri

Is that just a set screw adjustment on the throttle or is it more involved?

PeterPalmieri

I've got to ask. What is the secret that you can find a couple of threshers without battling through blue sharks. Also how are you boating those fish by yourself?

Good work!

PeterPalmieri

Thanks for the tips Walter. Even though it's not my personal favorite I want to be effective when I have people on the boat.

Tony, idles somewhere around 750

PeterPalmieri

Personally I don't like to do much more then fly fish. That beng said I was acting more as a host in this case. There had been big schools of bunker and many 30lb plus bass on them. The plan was to snag and live line. The back up plan was trolling bunker spoons. Just picked up the 8' bunker spoon ro...

Tom, wouldn't have wanted to make a right hand turn with the starboard motor in gear only but she ran straight. Both motors in g...

The time finally came. Been running all bay beach trips and sight seeing events up until now. Finally felt comfortable enough to bring her out in The ocean for the first time. Invited my Dad, brother in law and nephew out for a fathers day trip on Saturday. The inlet was still kicked up from the ove...

Having seen Randall's art personally up close I have to say the pictures truly don't do it justice. I cannot even find words to describe how amazing it was. I am truly blown away by Randall's talent. I was also able to see Randall's work up close last week, my thoughts echo yours. One heck of a guy...

Having just purchased my B31 and my son not yet being 2 years old I only hope to create that same montage someday.

Well done.

I just placed a order with Cabrerra this past week. He is making the deck, in deck fishboxes, engine boxes, custom fiberglass for the flybridge (copy of Zero Cavity , Thanks Doc,) and inbetween the engine area where the steps are, In the past months he also has already made the deck support kit for...

PeterPalmieri

Good news was that the tank was replaced and the port motor rebuilt. The bad news they only put in 185 gallons and the star oars motor wasn't rebuilt.

Great day on the water today!

Maybe your mistaken. I have a new fuel tank. Or did I miss something?

Looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the guys for the first time. I expect to spend a lot of time checking everyones upgrades and modifications.

I will surely walk away with a massive laundry list

PeterPalmieri

Another goofy question. My wife and 2year old son prefer the cabin while the boat is underway. Of course that may change next week. But in any case I can't talk to them from the bridge while they're in the cabin underway. Was thinking of a couple of walkie talkies? Also have a hand held for my flats...

PeterPalmieri

I took the carb off, looked clean and to be working fine to me, with my lack of experience that doesn't hold much water. Also popped the cover on the throttle and adjusted the set screw so that it doesn't drop below 800 and stall out. It still seemed to be running rough and a bit of a slick coming f...

PeterPalmieri

Checked my bill and checked with the mechanic the racors were changed in the fall. The marker on the hosing is old, from the previous owner.

He will check the carburetor and throttle Cable on the port motor this week for me.

PeterPalmieri

I can only guess that is the case. I will call the mechanic he has a longer history on the boat then I do.

PeterPalmieri

Now that is something I can handle. Thanks.

PeterPalmieri

Since the starboard motor seems to be running pretty good again, I can only guess some of the ethanol build up is burning out. Clogged up the fuel system and creating smoke. Seems it has now burned off. I'd also guess this problem may occur again. As for my idling issue with the port motor, I've got...

PeterPalmieri

John, I guess you are one of the three Js referred to on the name of the boat? Very nice boat. Interesting the starboard motor ran much better yesterday, ran from Babylon spent the day at sailors haven. This year they are offering dockage by the hour $10 per hour for a max of 3 hours then you have t...

Referring to the black fin not fortier.

PeterPalmieri

That is a beautiful boat. Looks really well taken care of.

PeterPalmieri

I met the owners of the other B31 during the week. A very nice couple, he's doing plenty of work on that boat. He's a diesel mechanic by trade. They have an 8 month old daughter, which was good because the women were able to chat about good places to change diapers and safe place for naps out on the...

PeterPalmieri

Moriches is a great place for a small boat. Navigating that inlet in any conditions or finding your way east along dune road is not fun. Having fished moriches a lot it is not uncommon to see bigger boats stop around bouy 26. Locals will usually come up and tell them which way to go just to get the ...

PeterPalmieri

Enough said that will surely be the first thing we do.

PeterPalmieri

JP

That looks absolutely beautiful and seems like a ton of work. Are your air intakes similar to Bobs? Seems to be some intricate work.

How is the interior coming along I don't think I've ever seen any pictures is it still a work in progress?
