Yes pad lock. Boat came to me like this with no key for the door. Haven’t yet bothered to change it.

PeterPalmieri

Thanks tony the ply is well sealed. It’s only the edge around the hatch, when the teak meets the plywood on the edges. My plan is to replace the wet wood and router out the last inch and fill with glass that way all the edges are teal and glass.

PeterPalmieri

Some pictures You can see how the plywood under the deck collected water and no longer supports the hatch. I made a previous attempt to seal the edges while in place, it didn't work https://i.imgur.com/PBUEAP4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/4pudaXf.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xEoI7W6.jpg Cleaning up the hatchs...

Have to catch up here since I finally signed up for Imgur and can again post photos It's a work in progress, just two anchor lights to replace and it's all LED inside and out. New panel and really just organizing everything, the bridge is still a mess and a couple glitches I haven't figured out yet ...

Most of the folks at work that lost friends and family don’t come to work or go on vacation. All the fireman and policeman living in the neighborhood are in their best dress for the day headed to memorials. It’s still very much a big deal around here, the kids were asked to wear red white and blue t...

Just going under the assumption that I would sell my boat and buy something else that is done.... I replaces the port block on the 454 a couple years ago. The starboard motor has over 3000 original hours and smokes a bit, but checks out, doesn't run hot and the compression is good. From a resale sta...

I've seen this one. No time to prepare to abandon ship, this is why my ditch bag, and throw-able are left out on the fly bridge unsecured at all times and offshore life jackets out of the cabin for everyone on board. You can complain all you want about the guy not paying attention but it could just ...

In the eyes of my 9 year old the drone was a close second to the 61 out in Greenport....

PeterPalmieri

Great trips, great season; beautiful kiddos! Sorry about your dog..

PeterPalmieri

Would love to chat about it Dug. I don't have enough cash in hand to make the deal happen just yet working on it as we speak, but if I do decide to sell and buy I think I'll want my boat sold first so I'm really in a position a good position to negotiate from. Some of the things that are on the tabl...

PeterPalmieri

The only negative I could come up with on the 61 was at 5'8" I couldn't see the bow chock from the helm. I believe someone said they already plan on moving the helm 14" forward to fix that issue. Also the hand rail on the side of the bridge ends and they're is nothing to hold onto, you still have a ...

I posted this thread at a good time, in addition to some really helpful responses I was able to chat with a bunch of folks at the rendezvous and include my wife in the conversation. God bless her she's pretty open to doing whatever I think is best. My conclusion thus far is 502s would work for us wi...

If you are just looking for the chart plotter with a built in antenna and you are comfortable with a 7" screen it will do what you need. I have a pair of the new 742XS, touch screens and am very happy with them. The obvious thing is screen size, I flush mounted mine on the dash but if I was mounting...

PeterPalmieri

I thought the guys from Bertram were very gracious hosts, I don't think many of us fit the potential buyers demographic, after all they are looking to sell a very expensive boat and none the less had us crawling all over the boat, asking questions etc. They were also very tolerant of my boys climbin...

PeterPalmieri

Good time glad to hear Neil and family made it home safe. Really great to see and chat with everyone, also met some really nice folks who we haven’t seen at the 31 rendezvous in the past.

PeterPalmieri

We are also driving out for the day Saturday.

PeterPalmieri

Pete the only other place that's done a ton of re powers in the area is Al Grovers in freeport dante did mine and many more 31s with the yanmars, I believe they do cummins also Dante can give you a good ball park figure if you stop down tell him I sent you Thanks Charlie, I don't know that there ar...

PeterPalmieri

Peter, You may want to consider re powering with new gas engines. It would be far less expensive, and you would not have to change out your running gear, etc. Probably a much quicker process too. I think,that unless you are putting tons of hours on your engines, it's tough to justify the diesel exp...

PeterPalmieri

Hey guys I know this is a ways out but putting all my ducks in a row to make this happen after the 2020 season. So I've got to finish out this year and get two more seasons out of the old girls (454s) Would love to go with the Cummins 6BT 220HP but I'm having trouble getting details on the cost of t...

PeterPalmieri

Right now I have both Salt and fresh water faucets mounted on the outer edge of the engine boxes on either side. Would love to do something like this but recess then into my side panels, anybody know of anything off the shelf or good ideas on how to modify something like this? https://images-na.ssl-...

PeterPalmieri

Thanks Cam it is teak over plywood. The lip under the deck is teak but it is fastened to the underside plywood. I'm also having some problems that the water sits on the teak lip even with a few drain holes drilled and finds it's way into the deck. I had pulled one side of the deck flipped it over an...

PeterPalmieri

Sorry I haven't got up to speed on posting pictures since photobucket is no longer an option. With regard to my teak deck - The hatches are teak and have a plywood sub base and they sit on a teak lip, no hinges they pull completely out. My issue is the edges, 1/2 of teak over a half inch of plywood....

Happy Birthday UV, one of the few of the old guard I never had the opportunity to meet in person. I did have a number of phone conversations where he imparted his words of wisdom. I also still have a couple of cans of corrosion X from the cases he had sent me, which probably means I'm not on top of ...

PeterPalmieri

I have had similar problems. I have very little skill as a mechanic but the professional I use is very good. Mine turned out to be fuel pump issue. I could be wrong but I believe it was providing to much fuel and flooded the carb. Had something to do with the tolerances being a bit oversized on a re...

Thanks for the replies. I’ve contacted look out and they are awesome but they wanted 5-6 k for the a sold front windshield plus I had to bring them my old frame so they could make a mold. I am attempting to build mine own I figure for around 700 bucks in material I mine as well try to build one mys...

PeterPalmieri

Peter No self tappers. You can get to them through the anchor locker. Use machine screws and back them up with a piece of plywood, or some thin aluminum. Do not, I repeat do not use 5200. For some reason you might regret that down the road if you need to remove them. I'm surprised your suggesting t...

PeterPalmieri

thank you

PeterPalmieri

Can someone share a picture of where their chocks are mounted? When I had the bow repaired and painted it looked to pretty to install the chocks but It's growing old storing the anchor in the cabin. I'm assuming I can drill holes for self tapping screws and use 5200 and I don't need to pull down the...

Looks like the one they are advertising has 4 Yamaha's and not 5 7's, not sure it's worth your time ;) BC - before kids, I used to play a Friday evening happy hour over at Fire Island, a 60ft Azimut would show up. They'd hop on the boat in lower Manhattan when the market closed on Friday's and get o...

You keep the bladder on the deck and burn that first or do you run down the tank and then transfer? Just curious.

PeterPalmieri

On my musicians forum, guys live in their Mom's basement and make fun of people that have $1000 guitars. I'm sure when we are out on our boat and some guy is fishing with a rusted up old rod on the dock he has similar things to say about our boats. I'm thinking; recently divorced wants to run over t...

I love the glass front windshield. Never loved the closed in feel of most boats. Looks like a beast but way out of my league.

I joined the band and it already had that name. Wish I could post a pic but the logo is a pair of glasses with a bullet hole in them. It’s just fun and has no real meaning or connection to the music we play.

Yes that’s him.

Sailors Haven is our go to beach, not surprised but for 2 people a few miles from each other to both be bitten in an hours time is really odd. Trying to push my wife to take the boys 6 & 9 to go shark fishing, she'd rather spend the day at the beach but this may have just turned in my favor...

I've never heard of the two night minimum. We generally shoot for heading over first thing Saturday morning, get there before 10AM and almost always get one of the last spots. It's a risk though, especially on Holiday weekends, This coming Sunday we are headed to Sailors Haven and just plan on ancho...

PeterPalmieri

Sounds perfect to me

PeterPalmieri

I believe that’s just a fastener.

Carl, Certainly if you guys come out this summer we can take you to all meet up over there rather then Sailors Haven, both great spots.. Bob when I was a kid the rangers would have daily activities for the kids, I think they still do this. One of those trips was to hike to the ship wreck (it was exp...
