great pictures and that poor 28 just not an attractive looking boat

PeterPalmieri

sliding mechanism one system and shock absorber system another suspension system you cannot both because slider is one track inside another and shock absorber use one track independent of the other. seat is preset for me or son 5'8" at 73 yo it is highly unlikely i will get any taller nor my 50 yea...

Mark, the facebook group is Bertram Yacht Owners of New England. There was also an event created called Bertram Long Island Rendezvous. Bob, I drove the length of Ocean Pkwy this morning, both FI and Jones seemed very passable. The waves at Gilgo were mybe 3-4 feet at best, maybe it's worse out east...

PeterPalmieri

For those not on Facebook, copied post. As a follow up to the Long island rendezvous discussion, this is and has been a very difficult storm to try and predict.additionally, there seems to be some discrepancy between forecasts. It's still down in Florida, moving N at 9mph, as of an hour ago, yet our...

PeterPalmieri

Mark not sure it is worth coming this year, seems like everyone is cancelling. We likely won't be going. That being said if you do go out, if you want a moderately priced hotel the Hyatt Place in Riverhead which is attached to the long Island Aquarium is pretty nice, 20 minute drive from Greenport. ...

Sounds like an interesting place to be, enjoy it. I'd still tend to look for a hardwired unit and keep your nice IPAD in the cabin with the navionics app, I'm assuming that's how you communicate with us on this site. The cheap tablet option plus cover plus mounting bracket just doesn't seem to make ...

PeterPalmieri

We were planning on driving out by car but it seems most of the Connecticut folks aren't coming, I don't blame them. I'm expecting the Lico's to take folks on ocean tours on Saturday. FI to Moriches FriE winds 15 to 20 kt, increasing to 20 to 25 kt in the afternoon. Gusts up to 35 kt late. Seas 6 to...

Around the bow hatch doesn't have any coring as Carl said, Raybo Marine glassed in plywood on either side and my deck is now super solid

PeterPalmieri

MISTAKE. Imagine if I said. I removed my lifejackets from the boat 5 years ago they were cluttering up the cabin Nobody has drowned it was a good decision for the way we use the boat. Taking safety precautions are part of being a responsible captain. Have no means to measure depth and your only mean...

PeterPalmieri

It has a hardwired power source, ties into VHF to send gps coordinates during emergency calls. Is not prone to bugs or freezing and is highly viewable in all light conditions. Generally has depth capabilities which is essential to confirming your location on a chart.

PeterPalmieri

While I think using a tablet plotter should be sufficient. I tend to not worry about budget when it comes to safety; offshore life jackets, epirb, back up handheld radio and GPS in a ditch bag. A large compass taking up space that I never use along with local printed charts I never use. I tend to pu...

The Garmin GPSMAP7608 is $1000 US without the sonar capabilities.

Tables coming along

PeterPalmieri

A couple comments - Ipads can be tough to view depending on the angle of the sun. Touch screens are great at times but if it gets rough buttons are actually easier or if your hands get cold or wet. I have not had an issue with the GPS signal under my tower which is canvas with a metal frame. I have ...

PeterPalmieri

I was under the impression that the GPS in an iPad works independent of cell service. Maybe I am misunderstanding but I know folks that crossed the pacific in a sailboat with an IPad as their main (but not only) chart plotter.

PeterPalmieri

I think it is okay for you to stick with the navionics app but if you are going to buy an additional cheaper Ipad to run it along with a waterproof case I'd be more inclined to spend a few extra bucks and get a dedicated marine unit.

PeterPalmieri

I'd love to see pictures of the inside of the console if you have any handy

PeterPalmieri

I’m pretty sure you guys were at the same rendezvous where Capt Pat and Walter were there.

PeterPalmieri

My condolences to Terry’s family. Another gentleman I wish I had the opportunity to meet in person.

That inlet looks really awful, nice fish

PeterPalmieri

We just spent 2 days over at the beach, came back last night. The one major downside to sleeping with the windows open is having a large boat on either side with multiple water outlets to run their AC. Shannon didn’t sleep well and I woke up twice dreaming my bilge couldn’t keep up with the incoming...

PeterPalmieri

it Would be fun if you came by boat and we made a weekend out of it. We are spending a couple days this week on the boat,

PeterPalmieri

Very cool and you did well on camera too.

PeterPalmieri

Don't get me started Carl, I'm about to cave and put a curtain in the head.

PeterPalmieri

1. You should have let me know, we would have at least offered you a ride or a cocktail before driving home. 2. Watch Hill and Sailors Haven now use the "DOCKWA" app to book slips. The weekends are $3 per foot per day and a two night minimum on the weekends in season. You can still just show up firs...

Recent episode was a 28 converted to a center console, a few episodes prior they redid an L&H 33

Thank you. Thinking it might also work to finish off the sides of the hull facing the cockpit.

Tony, you are talking about getting rid of the cockpit side panels and giving yourself a toe kick?

PeterPalmieri

Either way my headliner needs a little love. After Labor Day I’ll pull it down and figure out what I’m going to do. At minimum I’d like to replace with a few smaller panels. Lose the teak batons and maybe have the entire thing in 3 or 4 pieces using Velcro. If I can rig one of those t top bag type t...

Good job

PeterPalmieri

Steve, We always have the type 1 commercial jackets for all adults on the boat, I've always had this fear of watching my family floating in the ocean in those $5 life jackets praying to god we make it. They cost a bit more and take up some space but it makes me feel good. I wear a fanny pack inflata...

PeterPalmieri

I currently have 6-8 offshore life jackets that occupy the area where the fridge would normally be, plenty of space out to the hull in there. I'd love to reclaim that space to keep other items on the boat, curious if anyone has considered possibly redesigning the headliner so that the life jackets c...

PeterPalmieri

That is amazing right up on the shore line

PeterPalmieri

I want to start seeing some pictures.

PeterPalmieri

Peter, yes that’s the one I’m talking about. I hope everything checks out. I hope it works out for you but I’m a bit sceptical. That same boat in similar condition with gas power is going to fetch more then 30k to be listed just above 50k means either something is up or the owner is super realistic...

PeterPalmieri

Thanks for stopping down tonight Bob. Would love to see you do the cabin door as a pocket door too, sliding into the head. Both are well beyond my DIY capabilities.

PeterPalmieri

David nicely done. We have the same cuisinart griddler. Curious how that head works out for you, love how it opens up the place but concerned it doesn’t give enough privacy in a marina for the ladies.

PeterPalmieri

Hey Nigel are you still talking about breakaway? If those motors check out that is a great power package at a very reasonable price. I hope it all works out for you.

PeterPalmieri

pete finally went to boat for photo as you can see glass on door due to angle allowing more sunlight to enter cabin in combination with triple the size cockpit windows exceed front windshield due to light be deflected by fiberglass above V-berth https://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r21/BobLico/IMG_0...

PeterPalmieri

We did everything but the curved windows. They were replaced right before I got the boat. They have a light amber tint and we matched the two new front and both sets of side windows to it. The front window has had a crack in it for a few seasons and the head window never slid forward. So it’s nice t...

Hurry up you can save $171k if you buy it through yacht world

PeterPalmieri

You know what they say about opinions. Some nice things there, some okay. But for an asking price of $550k it’s falls way short.

PeterPalmieri

BTW Bob. Sailors Haven up their price to $3 per foot with a two night minimum on weekends plus $10 per day for electric. $200 for the weekend. Cedar beach in Babylon is 90 bucks from 11 AM on Friday till 11 AM on Monday and they have a strict quiet time between 10 PM and 8 AM

Married filing joint, margin rate jumps from 24% to 32% above $321,000 of income. If I have that problem when I'm taking my RMD's at 70 you have permission to shoot me for being to cheap to put AC in the boat.
