[ Peter And I thought I was the only one that figured out my investments in the same way. But in any event, get prepared, because at some point you will have to bite he bullet on the house and get nailed with the tax's. Sometimes there just is no choice. Let me do more math, let's say I save the 6k...

I do like the larger aft bulkhead windows, it's just not an either or for me. Someday I may expand them and it will create even more light and view ability. In my defense, I am very consistent. In a neighborhood of mostly 1920s homes I am the only house with an original slate roof and steel casement...

PeterPalmieri

I will check it out. We’ve ditched cable and found some really cool stuff on YouTube.

Remember I’m in the water 12 months a year no shore Power and no generator. I spent many years fishing with the guys but I rarely leave the dock without the wife and kids. That includes fishing in April and November. My wife has lupus so extended periods of being in the sun is very bad. 360 degree v...

Carl, We are running the same hustle, when money or time is of no concern fancying things up a bit doesn't hurt anyone. I look at the sum of all of the little things and the big things and think I'm getting 80% of the benefits of my 31 for 20% of the cost and I'm okay with that knowing I'm saving my...

Years ago Walter said use the boat a bunch and figure out what you want to do..... One thing I've said for years is I'm not going to die in one of those $3 life jackets, so I only carry the fancy Type 1 offshore vest, 6 or 8 of them. What I did was remove the cabinet and door in the galley under the...

PeterPalmieri

I should have been more clear. This is how Tim At Island wide plastics explained he would do it. I’m just writing the check.

PeterPalmieri

A glass cutter down the middle on the both sides and the old windows will be pushed from the inside out. The old windows will be used as a template and the new plexiglass can be bent enough to get them in place

PeterPalmieri

PeterPalmieri

You guys are pretty funny, Tim I don't see the 35 Bert as a fishing boat but it is a good deal. My thought is though that the 36 is well laid out as is the 35 Cabo or Henriques, you've got to go way bigger or give up the cockpit to get anything more then over under bunks in the cabin. Most of those ...

PeterPalmieri

Thanks for all the comments guys. I’m going use this local guy to replace with sliding Plexi glass in the existing bent frame. My reasoning is first time, second I have a regular boat slip and I’d be hanging off the side doing the work. It’s not big money. Someone even offered me windows they alread...

I’ll give you a call in the morning. Thanks Dug.

Bob, I had kept a flyer for years for Island wide plastics from boat shows, he doesn't have any internet presence. Turns out they work out of the old Stein's marina on River rd. in Sayville , he can do the template and install the replacements, one of my front windows are cracked as well, from last ...

marine plastic inovation in west Babylon is quite a place actually the only people i know that can weld starboard (quite a interesting concept) however they are expensive for just a replacement go with Carls idea, incidently what window is it port or starboard . i asked because starboard can not be...

PeterPalmieri

I’ve come across, but have no knowledge of

Island wide plastics in Bayport.

Marine Plastic innovations in west Babylon.

Any reason to stay away from either of these?

PeterPalmieri

Looking for a recommendation for someone on Long Island who can make and install replacement side windows in my existing frames. Had a bit of a docking incident over the weekend and cracked the windows. Thinking of doing them in Lexan, need a fairly quick replacement as the shattered glass is still ...

PeterPalmieri

I follow the same procedure as Carl,

PeterPalmieri

That’s how I do it.

PeterPalmieri

nice!

PeterPalmieri

I'm going to say bad idea. The engine boxes can support two grown men sitting on them (500 lbs) but the way they sit on the lip attached to the bulkhead there is little side to side support. If you strap a heavy load on them and the boat starts pitching side to side it could end badly or fall on som...

PeterPalmieri

Our needs are pretty simple, basically we have no problem with battery power on our day trips. And we don't have shore power at the dock. We are planning on long weekends at the beach where we will have access to shore power, it would be nice to be able charge the batteries at night after running ou...

PeterPalmieri

Thank Bob, a couple weeks I'll give you a call and come out. Last week of school next week and then vacation... Appreciate any tips I can pick up

PeterPalmieri

Cam, I watched that video and thought, maybe I should just skip the inverter/charger.

PeterPalmieri

Cam I've already installed a paneltronix AC/DC panel. The basics I obviously run the shore power plug into the panel and then out to the outlets, pretty simple stuff. Inserting an inverter, grounding, isolation, size wire etc is my concern.

PeterPalmieri

So last year I installed a new panel and with a lot of help we rewired most of the DC side of the boat. The AC is currently out on it's own, I have a shore power inlet connected to a breaker box under the dinette with 3 outlets in the cabin. I am not confident in my ability to run AC into the panel ...

Happy Fathers Day!

It's starting to sound like the back side of that man card is a Darwin award

PeterPalmieri

I'll be handing in my man card this afternoon....hahahaha Changing a prop in open water with a snorkel sounds like less fun then running back 190 miles on one engine.....

PeterPalmieri

The low gunwale height is an advantage to leadering, gaffing and releasing fish. That is one of the many reasons these are sought after sportsfishing boats (lots of other reasons too). I can get my hand in the water without dangerously leaning over the side, that's what you want if you are bringing ...

PeterPalmieri

looking good

PeterPalmieri

There is nothing I loath more then pulling wire except maybe not fishing. that being said I do own a couple of wire line rods and occasionally have broken my own rule. Even with 454s it is tough to get down below 3 kts, especially if you've got current or wind to your back. I tend to put one motor i...

PeterPalmieri

Yannis, This is a solution I've been using since 2010. It was recommended by our long standing leaders Capt. Patrick and Walter K. It has worked out very well for my desire to keep a traditional non-oiled, natural grey coloring. My reason for asking the question was a potential for concerns that wis...

Been using this on my teak deck since I got the boat but I can’t find (my wife) Wisk in the local stores. Online it’s like $75 a bottle. Any idea of what I can substitute? Worried if I just by any old one it’s going to have an ingredient I should be avoiding.

PeterPalmieri

Great boat.

PeterPalmieri

I can see both images. Looks to me like that isn't from the original build. To me that could mean two things either someone added that and didn't do good work or there is an existing problem underneath that they tried to address unsuccessfully. Of course I could be wrong and it is original

PeterPalmieri

Mike that's a great Idea that I have been considering.

What I can't do is mount a base plate as there is a hatch in the deck. So I could use a mounting plate underneath the table with a large rubber cap on the bottom of the leg. Is that what you were thinking?

PeterPalmieri

Thanks Carl. Still looking for a hinged leg

PeterPalmieri

Is this it?

I’m having a friend who’s built me a few instruments make me a table for the boat. It’s going to sound great made of maple mahogany and walnut HAHA. I can reuse the hardware that is mounted on the end of the table and on the bulkhead but if I can find new stock I might as well. Also need an idea for...

The lowest point in the boat is just aft of the v berth. That is where most of the water collects. My boat has been in the water 12 Months a year since 2010. In the winter I occasionally go do down to the boat and use a hand pump to get it dry. When the boat is up on plane the water runs aft to that...

PeterPalmieri

My boys lost their minds when I showed them that yesterday.

PeterPalmieri

Took the day off to get some things done. The deck is almost all put back together and the side panels in the companion way are painted. Canvas and cushions go on next week.

PeterPalmieri

Tony sounds like a good time, glad I wasn’t there. Without everyone getting butt hurt. I spent 10 years zooming around the great South Bay in a boat that floated in water that you’d barely get your ankles wet if you jumped out. I’ve ran 30 mph and caught fish in places most folks have never seen. I ...

PeterPalmieri

YES. As someone who has owned a flats boat and fished many. As well as someone who has spent sometime hanging out on a sandbar. It's about floating with the engines up or slowly moving along at idle speed in shallow water. Even the skinniest shallow water boats don't attempt to get up on plane in sh...

PeterPalmieri

In the case of the triple outboard express style boat, they actually extended the hull by 3 feet it's not just an armstrong bracket. That adds running surface and buoyancy, that boat should run much different.
