Bob, You can get into steam boat channel from the south and head up towards the east end of sexton the channel is about 8' deep all the way up to sexton. But it is tricky. I mostly drop in at captree and fish from the draw bridge to the eastern flat on sexton. Sometimes i hop over to clam pond and s...

Walter i have the non resident permit to launch from ponquage but never have i been able to find a good spot to launch to get me over to gardiners island. Some great flats fishing over there.

PeterPalmieri

That bass from clam pond is due south on the bar between east and west FI. I was in about 1' of water the problem is the ferry throws a wake heading into fair harbor that breaks over the bar. While i was landing that fish i had about 10" of water in the boat. It broke right over the gunwales as the ...

Walter, My pictures aren't as nice as Jim's but these are all spots Bob drives past on his way out everyday.

Bob,

You gonna be down at the boat today or over the weekend? I'd love to check it out.

Bob when i was a kid we would stay over at watch hill on my parents boat and they shipped me off to those types of events. This was back in the 80s. At that time they had snorkling, there was an exposed ship wreck on the beach a few miles east that we would hike to and they had a small theatre up by...

He does great work. I was president of Eastern Flyrodders for 2 years, a salt water fly fishing club based out of Riverhead. Jim has come to the club a few times and given a pictoral talk about fly fishing in Montauk.

PeterPalmieri

Bob i see you didnt replace the interior boards inside the dinette. The part with the holes in it, whatever that stuff is called. Mine seems to be a little soft. I hate to have to rip out the dinette i am think of resurfacing the benches and table with a veneer over the winter. Is that what you did....

PeterPalmieri

That does look great bob. I will likely be doing many of the same trips this year. This may be a choice that my wife ultimately has some serious input on. BTW just got an email from jim levison who is a fly fishing guide and outdoor photographer out of montauk he has some great blitz photos for sale...

PeterPalmieri

Thanks for all the helpful tips guys. At this point i am going to stick with the bench seat although id like to raise it a bit and move it back a few inches. Its a little low with the seat back up and when you stand it hits you in the shins. But at this point with my 16 month old son, id eventually ...

PeterPalmieri

Bob, I am glad you mentioned using 4" foam for the engine boxes I am having that done now and was going to go with 3".... Brewster and Mike I know the boat looks sexy without the rail but a sturdy one seems very functional. A few years back I was sent up to the bow of a 31 JC to get us unhooked from...

PeterPalmieri

Another question i forgot to ask.

Its not all that quiet in the cabin while running even with the door closed. Its also louder with a pair of diesels. Is there an improvement of insulating the engine compartments that cuts down on the noise?

PeterPalmieri

I've spent a fair amount of time looking at all the refurbs of the fly bridge model. There is some really amazing work that has been done. And while i am not in a financial position to take on this kind of project it is really fun to day dream about the what ifs. In any case i have some questions to...

PeterPalmieri

Good stuff Brew hit the trifecta. He was on the 5, 6 and 10 o'clock news last night. I didnt see the 5 which may be the you tube link. Each package was a little different and i believe the dog made the 6 o'clock package. Brewster asked me to thank my wife for him but in reality she needed to get a s...

PeterPalmieri

I caught it at 6 as well. Good job!

PeterPalmieri

My wife just called the story is going to run during the first block on the 5 oclock news. Thats the first few minutes of the show.

Ill be in the car hopefully someone can record it and post it here.

That is great!

Hopefully someone can capture the interview and post it up for us.

PeterPalmieri

I can officially say that this sight and my recent purchase of a B31 had a direct positive impact on my wife's career. Thanks for helping out. BTW i should mention brewster was nice enough to spend some time chatting with me last weekend about the boat a truely nice guy and if you havent checked out...

PeterPalmieri

Yeah supposedly out in the ocean. I gave my wife brewsters number if he agrees we may get to see him on fox 5 news in NY tonight.

PeterPalmieri

My wife wants to send a camera man and reporter to interview you. Can I have her call you?

PeterPalmieri

Hey guys my wife works in the news business they picked up some info that there may have been an earthquake 75 miles out south of south hampton. Anybody hear, read or feel anything?

It could be bogus.

PeterPalmieri

I wont get my documentation paperwork back until january and they said i can wait until spring. I also called the village and let them know and they made a note of it. So i am ok until the spring on the hailing port. Had the canvas guy down yesterday. He pulled off the old torn top on the half tower...

PeterPalmieri

Took a nice ride today. Beautiful what a difference a day makes

Any of you guys that are close please stop by and say hello. Also if your screen name is t your real name please let me know what it is.

PeterPalmieri

Took the boat out today for a good two hour run in some pretty nasty weather. I didnt leave the inlet but did go out to the inlet. Nobody was out today. Took a good cruise in the bay and was able to get some experience with a head sea, following and quarter in some decent 3s. In a short chop. The bo...

PeterPalmieri

Bob you can try to pick up herring along the fishing pier on the south side of captree with a sabiki rig. If there in the bay thats an easy place to load up.

PeterPalmieri

Thanks the tide was really high when i tied it up. Ill be back down there at 1 today if you want to pop by and say hello.

PeterPalmieri

Thats great advice some plumbing needs to be moved before i could that i believe the through hull for the head is there as well as the macerator and valve for the holding tank.

I can see why lots of planning needs to be done.

PeterPalmieri

Bob do you have your batteries in the centerline of the boat just aft of the v berth? I think i saw a picture of someones boat that was set up that way. My head is spinning a little with all this stuff as ive spent the past two weeks reading through all 99 pages of posts in the general discussion fo...

PeterPalmieri

Thanks Dick! I'll give you a shout when the boat is moved.

Pete

PeterPalmieri

Bob,

How long is that antenna, it seems to be at least the length of your riggers..

PeterPalmieri

I am having a cockpit cover made so the deck will not be exposed to the elements over the winter. Should i be cleaning and treating the deck before the winter or can i leave it until the spring?

PeterPalmieri

I would like to and its simple enough to do myself. Since the boat wont be hauled until march i wont be compliant with the USCG documentation.

PeterPalmieri

Quick question. I need to change the hailing port on my transom. The boat will be in my village slip starting this weekend. I have no access to power. Anybody know of a local guy who can come and remove the old hailing port and put on a new one?

PeterPalmieri

Unfortunately i think rudders are off the list for the 2011 season. Just paid the tax bill, documentation and registration. Got an estimate on a cockpit cover for the winter. And at this point i am getting some pricing on electrical expenses. Without question i have to address the props and cutlass ...

PeterPalmieri

Can you believe those decks were DIY work from a previous owner. They look really great!

PeterPalmieri

Bob you've got to share photos of that crash valve. I'll ease into it, generally I don't touch engines. Otherwise I am up for doing some work if I have a plan.

PeterPalmieri

Believe me id love to put on the new rudders especially considering that engine problems are likely. As i prioritize they came after the shafts and props and from what most are saying the raw water intake is a priority as well. With all the little details i left out and possibly some unknowns it see...

PeterPalmieri

Yes walter he did. I think he said those sea stariners are supposed to support 400lbs as well. He suggested the levers but after reading another thread i think i would like to see them set up as crash valves how some others suggested.

PeterPalmieri

Here are some pics of some of what we were discussing. http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/Fishing%20Photos/Bertram%2031/IMG_1522.jpg http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/Fishing%20Photos/Bertram%2031/IMG_1524.jpg http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpal...

I'm not a fighting chair kind of guy but I understand these Rockaway Fighting Chairs have some value. It certainly is heavy, here are some pictures, anyone have more info in the value on these? http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/Fishing%20Photos/Bertram%2031/IMG_1513.jpg http://i...

PeterPalmieri

Ill add it to my list.

PeterPalmieri

It will be interesting to feel the difference in how the boat runs after I get this stuff done in the spring. Not that I have a good sense of her now. Tony this will help insure I can get the rudders in my budget, thanks very much.

Headed down to the boat in a few minutes.

PeterPalmieri

Thank you

PeterPalmieri

Walter no offense taken. Just talking through the issues. Money is going to be spent either way its a matter of figuring out what is essential to me being comfortable and confident on the water. Tonys props could help my budget and send money to another essential. Dug unfortunately i didnt take good...

PeterPalmieri

Thanks Walter. I am dying to catch a Mako, I had a 40lb pup on the fly and a blue shark about 140 lbs. Also some blue fin in the 40-60lb class and mahi to 15lbs. Most off shore guys don't appreciate me dragging my fly gear on there adventures. Thankfully I don't have to ask permission anymore. Just ...

PeterPalmieri

Peter Before I repowered, I was spinning 18X19 3 Blade bronze on the 1 3/8 shaft. I had the mercruiser 454's with borg warner 11/2:1. If you want I have one pair that are already trued up, the second should be good but need to be cleaned up. If you are interested you can try them out in the spring....

PeterPalmieri

Let's hope for a mild winter and I'll get plenty of work done and little stress.

PeterPalmieri

Sim - During the survey the surveyor used a small hammer to tap on the props, the port prop rang like a bell while the starboard prop sounded like you were hitting concrete, "dull". He said this usually indicates corrosion but it could also be loose. I actually spoke to the yard and discussed what I...

PeterPalmieri

You are talking about these? "4-blades 17x15 w/#5 cup" Your saying I'll loose top end but gain efficiency at cruise. That works for me...

How much are new shafts and should I move up to 1 1/2 now even if I may not go to diesels for 5 to 10 years?
