I keep a separate anchor in a plastic clam basket just for anchoring in the bay, relatively small fluke anchor with 5-6 feet of galvanized chain. Light enough for a guest to assist me with. I keep it in the cockpit, run the line up to a bow cleat and drop it from the cockpit. If the wind and tide ar...

I love watch hill. That was the spot I went with my parents as a kid. Great memories spending every weekend and two weeks during the summer.

Seeing posts by Peter with his new boat in Oakdale, Chris in Lindenhurst. I'm in Babylon, Bob Lico is in Oakdale, Craig Mac is in Bellmore? Ed Curry in Lindenhurst and there are some others. Why don't we plan on meeting up early on a Saturday or Sunday morning, raft up for breakfast somewhere betwee...

Good stuff

PeterPalmieri

My first suggestion is to rig up a bucket with 5-6 ft of a good strong rope, drill holes in a strong part of the bucket and hang it off the mid ship cleat of the engine that is running. That will keep the boat running straight in the case you can't get that second motor started up. I've run back to ...

I don't but I'm putting in a new radio, will look into it.

PeterPalmieri

Actually the opposite, didn't look so good in the morning. We held off to after lunch, it was partly sunny. Went out got totally fogged in, couldn't see anything. Got back to the dock, cleaned the boat, the fog lifted, clouds parted and it was a perfect afternoon on land. Adding the radar dome is th...

Test results were great. No signs of cancer, don't have to go back for a year. Very happy PSA levels are good, a few small hernias and kidney stone that aren't bothering me or getting worse. We got out on the boat Sunday for an hour in the fog, but I'm ready to go now!

Great maybe we will see you out on Sunday

Just came across this on one of the Bertram facebook groups. Using a PVC track and canvas for the headliner https://www.trivantage.com/hardware/hardware-marine/hardware-marine-track/pvc-track-perimeter-headliner-pvc-18-ft-item-578070?storeId=10151&langId=-1 Can't find much additional information but...

Can't believe it is coming up on a year. Tests today, follow up with the Doc on Friday. Everything seems good thus far, hoping to be out on the water Saturday!!!! *Looking back on this thread I realize my illness was a bit mysterious, so let me explain it's no secret. Around 4th of July they found a...

PeterPalmieri

Very cool

PeterPalmieri

Thanks for the offer Bob, I'm doing direct replacements of fixtures so I'm not going to put anything in my existing headliner. At least yet as that is another project to redo the headliner. JP thanks for that I am ordering everything direct from a marine distributor from the local boat yard but I wi...

Ordering all new LED lighting, interior and navigation. Any tips, thoughts comments?

If you do that in the open ocean and that teaser is suspended in the water column you'll only get bluefish

PeterPalmieri

Hey Peter---are you rigging with 3-way swivel like they do a Plum Gut? I only do that if I'm fishing up against the rocks, around the inlet. If that's the case I set up a rod just for that and will often use a bucktail teaser rig without weight. Not so much in the spring more often a late fall thin...

PeterPalmieri

peter sometimes there are such ridiculous solutions to a complicated situation such as i have shown in the photo of the panel. i install a simple ball and socket type latch on either side of the panel with brass pull handle on the top. for the eight zillion times you have to get back to add and cir...

Any tips on choosing a fridge that I can get through the doorway? I've considered the newer drawer style but would prefer the traditional size if it can be taken apart to get in the cabin. Not high on the priority list but giving it some thought.

I'm hoping to do it as well, it's a tough weekend as school starts Thursday the 6th...

Decided we are going to start from scratch on the bridge, ran power up there for all the accessory lights, electronics etc. Ordering a blue seas panel with LED indicators

PeterPalmieri

Thanks guys appreciate all the comments, I just ordered that shore power plug. Right now on the shore power side it runs under the dinette seat to a main breaker to separate breakers for 3 outlets - under the dinette, in the cubby behind the sink and one in the head, there is also a galvanic isolate...

PeterPalmieri

I've got a bit of an update, will take some pictures soon. The new panel is installed, was able to get dedicated breakers where needed and starting to clean up the mess that was created over the last 50 years. Dedicated house batteries and nothing running directly off the battery. Haven't addressed ...

I have 454s replaced one of the blocks and bolted on all the newer replacement parts, carb, oil pan, alternator etc. I think the block was $3500 and the yard charged $1500 for the swap. So 5k and I have essentially a new motor. I will certainly do the same with the other side when the time comes..

Really beautiful, very much in the Merritt, Rybovich style. Perfect dayboat set up. Are the window frames a custom fiberglass mold? Also love the private forward head

PeterPalmieri

Sounds good, Bob Lico is in Oakdale Yacht and my nephew has a 25 he's planning on keeping at Nicholls point. Could have a mini rendezvous

PeterPalmieri

When I thought I was half dead last summer we talked about doing a trip around NY Harbor on your boat and then you guys coming out to Sailors Haven/Sunken Forest on our boat. Let's make it happen this summer, life is to short to put it off! We can get Ed Curry, Bob Lico and any other locals meet us ...

Welcome aboard, she sure is a beauty.....Is the fit and finish as well done as the pictures suggest?

Peter, Welcome, I never got to introduce myself. I have a 31 out of Babylon, hope to see you around. Replacing my VHF this year as well, my plan is to go with a dual station with the main unit in the cabin and the additional mic up on the bridge, I'm considering Garmin as I just put in 2 Garmin mult...

Very cool!

Merry Christmas and happy new year.

PeterPalmieri

I’d like to attach the panel to a hinged panel for easy access anything that is premade that fits the bill before I spend the time making one?

PeterPalmieri

Bob. I’m almost certain that’s the one I gave Walter. He wanted the extra parts to rebuild.

PeterPalmieri

Finally after 4 months we took the old girl out! Wish I could post a few pictures. I can bounce up and down the bridge, run up to the bow to tie and untie lines. Got bounced around in the inlet. Woke up this morning no pain. Game on I’m back!

PeterPalmieri

Yes Stephan thank you. I am doing it with the boat in the water for winter. Since my bilge pumps bypass the panel now I can pretty much getting working. Hoping to get out this weekend and the. Shut her down after next. As Tony said Bob is my mentor on the project so I’m confident even with little kn...

Tony, Paneltronics. 6AC and 12DC I’m mounting it in the vberth starboard bulkhead just around the corner from the original panel. Bob is going to walk me through a good order to do this. All the AC has to come out, a lot of things don’t run through the panel now and in some cases home use wire has t...

PeterPalmieri

I can see

PeterPalmieri

I received my panel in the Mail. Have to get that mounted and started to poke around more closely at the wiring. Even with a little knowledge the current wiring is even more awful then I thought. Sure is going to keep me busy over the winter, especially considering I have no practical experience here.

PeterPalmieri

Thanks Marlin. I’ve been reading and watching videos to get myself up to speed on some of this stuff.

PeterPalmieri

Ordered the panel. My arm was twistied into believing I can this myself.
