Guys-Thank you for all your kind thoughts. It' seems what I am dealing with is not curable. What we are attempting to do via chemotherapy is shrink some of it. Reactions to chemo are unpredictable and sometimes kinda ugly. It certainly has left me quite weak and unable to attempt doing things I thou...

I have been out of commission since the Fall when I returned from my Belize trip with Brewster. Seems all was not as "clear" as it was supposed to be on my kidney surgery. Not operable so I have been living(?) through the wonders of Chemotherapy since then. Just had my 17 th session and it is not an...

The 20 was sold just before my surgery. Bluebeard might be up for sale once I know a bit more about how the treatments are coming along. Want details? Walter

Bob, if you're back, give me a call . Walter.

Brewster- show or send this to your Dad. Another use for baking soda. Co-op with the other component part manufacturers and put together/sel an anodizing kit for nuts like us. Walter

Tom-Dick Dean's boat is a gas powered Bahia Mar that he has always kept in very nice shape. He, like me is hitting 79 and is being pressured by family to pack it in while I can. Mine is a 66 Sportsfisherman Model powered by two Cummins 6bt's. Cruises (clean bottom) @ 22kts (end of season 21 kts). Bu...

Gert- you outdo yourself every time! Bravo! Walter

In Memory Walter K

I guess you could, but you'd need a vent and a pump-out fitting.

Uncle Vic will be smiling.

The parachute (drogue) should be set from the bow for all the reasons you are trying to solve.

George- If the original paint was Imron, it's a great touch up paint. Especially with a non-exotic color like white.

In Memory Walter K

Bluebeard is a Sportsfisherman and came in that color. The good news is that it is very recognizable on the water. The bad news is that it is very recognizable on the water.

I was lucky enough to have attended three of Uncle Vic's UVI's. On two of them I as part of the crew of Judge Trey Dibrell's 25 hardtop that he trailed to Venice for the event. I can say without hesitation that that boat, powered by two 3.0's with Alpha 1 outdrives literally flew and sipped fuel. It...

They would have waived it if it meant getting the Renezvous. I was part of the team that booked it the first time and there was never a mention of such a thing.

In Memory Walter K

Made in China, I'll bet!

In Memory Walter K

Rawleigh-just what I was thinking!

In Memory Walter K

Loved it! Walter.

Starboard engine and the the prop turns counter clockwise?

In Memory Walter K

Thinking the same thing.

In Memory Walter K

What a load of crap! Film 1: NONE of the jumping fish shown was a Black Marlin. The sinking boat is a different boat from film 2 which IS a Striker. Loss of a great boat but has a smell about it.

Am I the only one running into "Photo not found" on the site the last few days?

In Memory Walter K

At $75,000 apiece, a completely different weight distribution, need for greater fuel capacity and a shorter lifespan, why would anyone even consider it?

In Memory Walter K

The 210's turbo is not aftercooled. Much simpler engine even pre 2004.

In Memory Walter K

Loft via a fork lift and chain then back up till past overhang. Done.

In Memory Walter K

I can't say enough about the 210's. Simple, economical, inexpensive parts (when and if you need them). Cruise @ 21-22 kph. Use 7 gph per hour per engine, if not less. Had mine since new and now have over 2000 hrs on them. Love them.

If you think this was a bunch of softies, try competing with Brewster fly casting in torrential rains. He can lay a fly under the hanging branches of a Mangrove in the space of a teacup at 70 feet... no matter what the conditions. Whether it's Tuna or Trout, this guy can outfish anyone I know. It wa...

OK, I'll start the voting. I'm for Greenport the first or second weekend in August.

In Memory Walter K

Tommy- good advice! No matter how much I might like the lines of that specific boat, I would stay away from it because in all my years, I have never heard of such a set-up.

In Memory Walter K

I remember when a lot of us used to do that with fish! Lesson for today is over.

It WAS a very special generation that I was fortunate enough to have witnessed as a kid. Examples to live up to. They came back as quiet men who did not see themselves as heroes. No egos, no bravado. I have found out stuff about friends and relatives 60 years later that you could not imagine what th...

Explain please.

Usually you can remove the door of the refrigerator, if that helps. Also removal of the door on the boat. One of the distinct advantages of the Sportsfisherman model.The original boats did not come with a fridge so someone was able to get it in there. Call Norcold for advice. Mike is right, I have h...

It can be as big or small as we make it. When I did Montauk, my personal objective was to make it as affordable as possible for the attendees, but profitable as possible so as to be able to turn over those profits to Captain Patrick for the site. The profitability really came from the raffling of pr...

Further proof the Gene Pool is deteriorating.

In Memory Walter K

And the first time you've competed?....congratulations my friend! That's great!

In Memory Walter K

That's a very lucky (and stupid) man. If the two of them fell in the water the tarpon could have drowned him.

In Memory Walter K

Greenport in my opinion has been a most ideal Rendezvous location. Its had large turnouts, good facilities, and Brewster's great catering. If it's in consideration, it gets my vote.

In Memory Walter K

Sounds like that curb was three stories high.

I have spoken to him around Christmas. He has been very busy preparing for shows. He had told me earlier that when the site changed, he was no longer able to get into it and I guess he stopped trying. Might take a call to/from Patrick to clear up that matter.

In Memory Walter K

I have had the good fortune to have done all you have mentioned. Attending 3 of his UVI's has been one of the major memory moments of my life, only to be exceeded by 2 TSL trips with him. His was the first call I got after coming out of surgery when I got my hip replaced. For a guy who enjoyed being...

For those of you who live on Eastern LI: I was just made aware that on Saturday, January 5th, the Hampton Jitney will be making a special package to and from the boat show, including the entry ticket for $55. If you were planning to go to the show and can get to a Jitney stop, this is a great deal. ...

Absolutely! And many more.

All the best to all of you! Walter

Just spoke to my son who is in the stock photo business. He says: "Yes, I was just reading about this. If you agree to the changes in their terms of service (which, of course, many will without reading) yes, they will be able to, and without paying you. Nice, huh? I'm waiting for it to happen on Fac...

Hard to judge off the boat. Anything blocking my view of the cockpit would bother me. Also, how it effects the lines of the boat is a consideration. From a carpentry point of view, it's beautiful.

Drill a hole in the deck on the port and starboard sides and insert a dry dowel in the hull. Wet or dry it's a great boat.

Just remember you need both hands off the wheel to accelerate without turning.

I'm sure there will be advice from Yannie owners, but how old are the ones you have? Given reading several Yannie Turbo threads, it doesn't sound like longevity is one of their traits. If that is the case, new ones might not be a lifetime investment. Can you rebuild them yourself?

Were the engines and running gear burned badly? Might very well be usable again.I assume the boxes did not survive. Does not the Jim Ray's insurance cover your engine and running gear?. Look into the possibility that your homeowner's insurance might cover it as property away from home,
