I figured that would be your answer but I thought I'd ask anyway.

PeterPalmieri

Mike the rail I was talking about is the one on the aft of the bridge not the bow. The seats will be far enough aft that there is no reason to ever stand or walk behind the seats. Although something may be necessary when ascending and descending from the bridge. Well see. As far as my sword fish har...

Tony 74" must be a typo? The seat width at the arms is 46" and 40" from the edge of the seats only. The important measurement is from the center of the helm to the outer edge of the sole before it starts to curve. That's approximate 29". This means the base is going to be smaller then the overall wi...

I hate to be the pro outboard guy but I'm not sure I like the idea of losing a motor or hitting a whale any less in either type of boat.

PeterPalmieri

Walter I agree the canyon in a center console is not my idea of fun. I've got a lot of friends who disagree and I must say it works for them. The 31 contender, 26 regulator and now the 36 yellow fin have become popular by me. Fish by yourself in the back bay or run offshore with a crew. In a center ...

PeterPalmieri

Wow. I was way off on my weight specs on the 350s. I guess it actually swings the other way you save 400 lbs with these new motors. They'll have to have big plans to provide local service on these motors though. A 57ft center console with outboards is insane, I guess if there is a market for them wh...

PeterPalmieri

When the big 4 strokes came out on the market the boat companies had to redistribute the weight of the boats to accommodate the heavier motors. Triple 350 weigh about 1600lbs. For a total of 1050hp. Two of these motors exceed 2000lbs so you pick up nominal hp and 400lbs. If you swap out quad 350s fo...

Tony, I've got a friend who is very skilled and has a great set up for rod building. He will basically build anything I want for cost.

Walter and Brew my buddy is dropping off that 1 piece 8' rod built on the lami blank. Maybe we can meet up halfway at Brew's and check it out sometime soon.

Went down to Bobs boat on Sunday, I could poke around Bobs boat for hours and miss half of the things he's done. If nothing else Bob has really thought out every possible design solution. Thanks so much Bob for taking the time with this rookie. Also got to meet Whaler1777 while I was done there, sup...

PeterPalmieri

Tony you will certainly need to move the seats up and back to the point that the exterior passenger arm is outside the port bulkhead. I am feeling more comfortable that I will be putting in the console pod. The one issue with this if you don't put in a pod is that you may to be to far from the wheel...

PeterPalmieri

The padding on these seats are ridiculous. I'll meet you tomorrow at OYC after 10:30 if your still planning on going down. My wife thinks I am crazy and I have a serious case of cabin fever. Not only did I play with the seat height but I took a music stand and used it to mock up the steering wheel h...

PeterPalmieri

Ok I mocked up the seats and went down to the boat to take measurements. It's going to be a tight fit. I am looking forward to measuring Bobs layout tomorrow. http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/1c39c8f9.jpg http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/dbc44307.jpg http:...

PeterPalmieri

Tony, You could mount the seats directly to a tackle box and maximize the space. You could also add a fold down seat to the starboard side of the helm. It wouldn't have a back but you could sit three and have some nice storage. I am going to have to have a hole cut in the bridge cover and then have ...

PeterPalmieri

As Bob described it to me he has two upside down U brackets mounted to a glassed sheet of coosa board. Then the seat suspension is mounted to the coosa board. I am hoping to have mounting plates welded directly to the U shaped supports and I will bolt the suspension directly to it. I'd like to elimi...

PeterPalmieri

Let's see if I can link to the pictures of Bob's seats from the Todd site..

PeterPalmieri

Noted I will bring some fly gear.

PeterPalmieri

I found a pair of seats on closeout at Freeport marine and went down and picked them up during lunch today along with the seat Suspension. The seats are Garelick 480 compact ultimate seat. The width with the arms is 23.5. The seats that Bob used from Todd that are no longer made are 25.5. Almost the...

PeterPalmieri

One of the guys that had one made does some tarpon fishing in the keys. He hasn't used it yet but they are going down in April and will try it out. I am thinking it may be a nice shark and tuna rod for me well see. Cape fear used to make a 1 piece 14 wt rod with the hexagon technology. It is an awes...

PeterPalmieri

I've got a couple of buddies in my fly rod club who are really into rod design and building. Older guys with lots of time on their hands. They have come up with something fairly interesting. They started using a 1 piece 8' lamiglass blank to build a fly rod. There is obviously no wt rating to the ro...

PeterPalmieri

That is some seat Brew! The closeout items on there site start at 7k. I guess with the amount of trips you are making the comfort is worth the cost.

Finally got my hands on a copy of Marlin magazine with the Bertram article last night! Talk about a big bucks magazine. WOW

PeterPalmieri

It doesn't seem that the fixed depth of the flip up bolster seat is deep enough to accomodate the Garelick suspension system. I am going to call over and ask them for the heck of it, but at $900 a seat vs. $365 I am unlikely to want to go that route anyway. Bob is selling me on the idea that I won't...

PeterPalmieri

It seems to me that the bubble on Buddy Boy and Zero Cavity lift the wheel higher but not aft to any significance.

The first photo in the string moves the wheel aft and up while dropping the angle not as much as Bob's but more then the others.

PeterPalmieri

Just looking at the wheel angle which gets to UVs point http://www.bertram31.com/proj/bert/img/console-f.jpg http://www.bertram31.com/proj/bert/console.jpg It seems that Capt Pat has at least two different angles based on the above photos... More: http://www.bertram31.com/parts/console/santiago/dres...

PeterPalmieri

That sounds like a plan I will contact captain pat. I'd actually prefer the fiberglass one. I've got my teak fix with the decks.

PeterPalmieri

I was saying pod but I meant the bubble, not pod.

*I deleted the rest of this post as the production note is out of date*

PeterPalmieri

You read my mind Bob, I was just taking a look at some photos I have to see if that is possible. It seems that the pod would fit without moving the throttles. What may be an issue is how far forward of the wheel they are once the pod is in place. Here are photos I have of the helm, let me know what ...

PeterPalmieri

Everything you are saying makes sense. I am not interested in being up on the bridge by myself it would take the companionship of the adventure out of it. The bench seat isn't very comfortable, it's not easy to get in and out and most important you have to strain to see a direct line over the bow to...

PeterPalmieri

I do stand on occasion. I am just looking at options and don't think I will go this route. What you've got going is pretty nice and these seats are double the price. The advantage would be that the seat can be a bit closer while sitting possibly making it more comfortable. When you stand and flip up...

PeterPalmieri

That looks great bob and looked even better on the boat. I have the metal trim on the edge of my floor and it is a pain in the neck as the corner broke. It's a hassle every Time I check the bildge

PeterPalmieri

No bob I am talking about a flip up bolster where the front of the seat flips up and acts like a leaning post. I don't want to go the fold down route.

Here is a link.

Just thinking outloud

PeterPalmieri

Just looking around at seat options.

Does anyone have any experience with the Garelick 940 flip up bolster? Or flip up bolster seats in general.

Just covering all the bases..

Pete

PeterPalmieri

He guys with much consideration. I've decided Bob's seat arrangement will work the best for my needs and the bench seat will be removed. Bob has been nice enough to start sharing details with me through PM but I figured it may make sense to talk through it in a public forum so others can benefit and...

PeterPalmieri

That was posted four years ago. While it was rather educational and informative. His price prediction was dead wrong, at least almost four years later

PeterPalmieri

Have a blast that is awesome!

PeterPalmieri

Bob,

If you were able to do a pop up for electronics behind the pod do you think you'd have enough room for rear facing jump seats on either side of the helm?

PeterPalmieri

On the contrary on Saturday I dug a path through the snow so I could clean off the boat. Not a fun time.

PeterPalmieri

Beautiful boat but I don't like the fact that there is no seating anywhere.

PeterPalmieri

After hearing about what mark must be dealing with this all seems so unimportant. Not sure if you guys heard the nice story about mark Sanchez spending some time with a young kid with a terrible illness. He didn't have much time left and mark went and visited him at his home and went as far as testi...

PeterPalmieri

Hey JP I've been to Madison about 30 different times. Go to nadias for dinner it is on the second floor on state street. Closer to campus then the capital. My favorite restaurant by a long stretch.

PeterPalmieri

Wishing Mark and his family our best wishes.

PeterPalmieri

Thanks Walter. The Cam Sigler rods look almost identical to the sea level stuff and actually looking at their websites the product description and price is almost exact. The sea level stuff is made overseas and I'd guess they are made by the same factory. Again just guessing. I've got 6 Scott S3S ro...

PeterPalmieri

Hey brew. I am most likely going to pick up two of those rods from. www.sealevelflyfishing.com the 16 wt. Maybe I'll bring out some beer and we put them through a few tests to see what the real deal is. Hopefully not watch them explode.

PeterPalmieri

Yes I agree although I'd test the hook with a straight line from the reel to the hook and make sure the Tippett breaks before the hook bends, with little to no bend in the rod Then figure how much hand pressure I need to straighten the hook. If you hold the line in your hand and have some one pull b...

PeterPalmieri

Well I could go on for hours about fly fishing and not get any work done, I'll try not to. I would add that what I do in my flats boat fishing the sand flats in the great south bay is not all that common nor is fishing the marshland between cap tree and jones, especially as you get into the skinny m...

PeterPalmieri

Brew, You may be right I have never used a scale on my 12wts. I am planning on picking up some 14 or 16 wt rods for the offshore stuff. Some of the newer offshore fly rods are adopting the fiberglass composite technology Wuxi sacrifices some casting ability but significantly improves the fighting ab...

Do you know specifically which hook he's using?

Hey Walter the show was a lot of fun, I hope you made out ok with the snow. I thought I'd post instead of sending a PM for those who may have interest. I saw a number of seminars Conway bowman is a guide out of San Diego who specializes in fly fishing for mako sharks he gave a great seminar. Not muc...

The buoys on the back side of the island are moved all the time and sometimes moved during the season. They are currently doing some dredging in moriches so who know where we will be by august. If you look at a chart you have to get from buoy 17 to 24 no gps or chart will help you although it is cle...
