Giff: That brown 'panel' showing in the photo on the port and starboard 'flybridge pilasters' of your B31 is a nice classic touch, is it paint, gel coat or some form of overlay? Keith: Do you know if Ian of Gray's Taxidermy is Ian Hall originally from Nassau,Bahamas? I'm curious as if so he grew up...

Keith you are in calif. waters totally differant then the water conditions off Long Island. We have drifting sand that fills the inlets along the south shore of Long Island.summer south winds push the water into inlets and water depth goes from 90' to 30' rapidly then hit the 6 to 7' depth in the i...

OK, I'll bite (heh, heh) Keith isn't that clear acrylic platform a bit on the slick side? http://www.weneedsigns.com/images/C/CautionCuidado%20Slippery.jpg Never used it for swimming only bait tank and fish gear and kicker motor etc. The life expectancy of anyone who swims off my boat goes way down...

Keith Poe

The Acrylic comes in many colors and you can design many pattern holes or slots etc. Another thing i recall about my 24' Skip jacks solid swim step besides it lifting well in rough seas on a drift was it also was a benefit in a fast following sea creating lift on the stern aiding in fuel economy. I ...

Keith Poe

I have surfed 24' swells in my 24' Skipjack was a blast never had any problems with the swim step. When i cut my acrylic swim step and 1/4 round routed the edges i used a map gas torch and heated the areas that were white from the saw and router and they turned clear but do not over heat need to wat...

Keith Poe

Swim steps with no holes in them can aid in lift drifting in heavy seas with the stern to the swells but will pound hard and shake the boat.

I once stayed out all night in a wide open bite in 34 knot sustained winds & 24' swells in a 24' Skipjack and was impressed by the lift.

Keith Poe

I bought S/S brackets before and a piece of 3/4" acrylic cut and routed it out work great.

I just took a teak swim step off my 31 not sure if i'm going to hang on to it or not.

Keith- I know of a yacht that had nickel plated interior fittings and a sink in the head. The owner specifically didn't want chrome, he thought it too flashy. I understand he is pleased with how it turned out. I am not aware of external hardware or anything exposed to exhaust gasses. Best, Stephan ...

Are those Engine beds finished and are you aligning the shafts to them or is this just a general fit check and they will be redone cause it looks like they are too narrow for the isolation foot print.

Tried trolling for rock at 2 knot on one engine. Even dragging two five-gallon buckets couldn't do less than 3.5. Staying on course was no problem even with original (larger) rudders, but couldn't go slow enough for the fish to catch me. Thought about a trolling valve on one engine. Anyone try that...

Good tip, Keith... Another technique, that I use, is to remove the nozzle, clean it out good, insert a 1/4" bolt or #12 screw into the tube tip and wrap it with tape before tossing it into the fridge. I have an office sized fridge, set at about 40ºF just for chemicals. Another tip, if you do fiberg...
