I helped a friend use kiwi grip on a small boat project and a few seasons later it heals up well. It was pretty easy to use.

PeterPalmieri

Tony it would seem to me the future is the data of those Apps. The actual electronics device seems to me to be on its way out as we know it. Black box sonar, GPS and charts built into tablets like an IPad. All wireless. The idea of 5k for a 10” screen multifunction may go away. We can debate that I ...

PeterPalmieri

Yannis - as a standalone app on an iPad I would imagine it would be fine. However, I purchased a new Raymarine Axiom Multifunction display, Raymarine's Lighthouse Software supports a number of different cartography providers including Navionics and CMAP. I particularly liked the Navionics software ...

PeterPalmieri

Seems simple enough just some elbow grease

PeterPalmieri

Thanks for that info

PeterPalmieri

Thanks Marlin not sure how I missed that

PeterPalmieri

Keep looking!!!!

PeterPalmieri

I already started a inventory list of what is existing, what I want to add and remove. I guess I need engage someone locally to get an estimate. I am a bit of a minimalist. Want as few things as possible that require maintenance like AC, fridge etc.

PeterPalmieri

So this isn’t a project I can or want to do myself but I recognize I need to plan it out in someway. I have 50 years of add ons. Original breaker panel. Fuse block on the bridge that doesn’t shut off at the breaker. Saltwater wash down tied directly two the battery. The list goes on and on. I think ...

PeterPalmieri

I hope they work out for you Carl. I know a couple guys with old Perkins, not in a 31 and they have lasted years with good service.

PeterPalmieri

Pete let’s hope they can replace it for you. Take care.

PeterPalmieri

Mike,

Welcome you’ve come at a good time. Not long ago you would have been cast away as an unruly outboard convert.

There is a great YouTube video of an outboard conversion. Looks really nice.

It’s to bad I gave mine to Walter just before he passed.

Dry cool. Will have to grab a copy

Looks like a steal.

PeterPalmieri

So I'm not the only idiot who obsesses over details of a million dollar decision I never plan on actually making

PeterPalmieri

Hysterical.

PeterPalmieri

Thanks guys things are coming along.

PeterPalmieri

Thanks for the encouragement. Fortunately I will be around for a long time.

PeterPalmieri

Hey guys thanks for thinking of me. I am doing well taking it easy and very slow. On a modified work schedule trying to get back in the saddle. Not capable of much physically yet but I'm coming along.

PeterPalmieri

It's getting there. The plan is to get everything on the bridge where I want it and then worry about new panels. Ultimately I need the bridge to be painted. Almost 50 years of old holes. http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/Fishing%20Photos/Bertram%2031/3A541E50-09B3-484C-B306-A716...

If I go with longer screws they'll likely need to be 3 to 4". If I go the route of finished teak deck sealant. I'd likely need to insert some 1/8 or 1/4" foam tubing so the sealant doesn't drip down and sag. Any problem with that?

PeterPalmieri

So I have these half round stainless caps. The way they were built they tend to not have anything for the screws to grab too. It looks like at some point they were calked and then the seal was broken when the de k needed to be removed. Wondering if I can caulk them to a finished look at not put the ...

PeterPalmieri

I decided to go with a pair of Garmins 742XS and then a 742 networked together. They'll be flush mounted and I can add the radar if I want down the road. I've got a a pair of 454s so it's not a canyon boat, I shore fishing and family fun trips. I won't need an auto pilot or night vision. And I'm goi...

PeterPalmieri

Nicely done

PeterPalmieri

A bunch of folks I trust are recommending the Garmin 742xs. Have to do my homework.

PeterPalmieri

Hey guys hope all is well. Been so busy these days with the kids haven't had much time to post but I do keep up reading along. In any case old electronics are shot. I want to flush mount on either side of the dash which restricts me to 7" displays. Thinking about a new pair of Raymrine Axiom 7s. Any...

PeterPalmieri

I'm still working off the 2 cases of corrosion X uncle Vic sent.me.

Did my teak deck, Ammonia and whisk treatment yesterday and was thinking about Uncle Vic, Walter and Capt Pat

Carl Icahn called out the EPA on the move to 15% and seems to think Trump will move us in the right direction. Not much more then a sound bight but somebody is talking about it

PeterPalmieri

I don't like the hull truth for the same reason I generally don't hang around the dock when I take the boat somewhere. Generally everyone is smarter then you are, they have more money then you do and all they want to do is tell you why. Often after having consumed to much alcohol. We all see inexper...

PeterPalmieri

Welcome David. Take a week off and read every thread on this board you will be glad you did.

PeterPalmieri

thank you Bruce

PeterPalmieri

If you did want to remove the head I think the 25 Carolina Classic / Albemarle type layout is a nice option.

PeterPalmieri

Did I see this right? It looks like the man has no legs and his shop is handicap accessible.

PeterPalmieri

What do you keep in the box under the seat.

PeterPalmieri

Not necessarily the greatest show ever made but I watched most of the content FL sportsman put up on the MCU refits. While most not boats I want beats the heck out of watching TV.

lookin good Keith

PeterPalmieri

Peter, I was able to squeeze a 9inch simrad nss somewhat flush and not protruding above the top edge of the original top edge (where the plexiglass is mounted). My goal was to have all the electronics very accesable but also leave space for drinks or to put my feet up. I had a guy make a teak mount...

PeterPalmieri

Peter What ever you do, make sure you have a hand held GPS as back up along with paper charts. The combo units are great until something quits on them. Garmin are nice units but it is still hard to beat during. If you can get by with a notepad, that should work fine. Really, once you set up to drif...

PeterPalmieri

Joe,

From the little I see the boat looks great, you should post up more pics.

Pete

PeterPalmieri

Thanks Bob!

PeterPalmieri

So I am starting to plan out my Winter/Spring project. I need to update the electronics on the boat; GPS, Sounder, add radar, VHF and stereo. Along with new switch panels for lights, pumps etc. I would like to consider flush mounting a 7" screen on either vertical dashboard area, one on either side ...

PeterPalmieri

In NYC

Walk through Time Square at night
Go to the observation deck of the Empire State Building
Intrepid Museum (aircraft carrier on the west side)

Plenty of others but those are pretty cool for a 13 year old

PeterPalmieri

I just got an email from Bertram with a load of photos, really looks great.

Craig you can go onto the Bertram site and RSVP to attend.

As I read it. It's says debut at Newport and looks like it will travel south from there. Maybe I should t assume but sounds like the boat will be there.
