I am somewhere between buying a new compass for DeNada or having the old one redone or just cleaning it up and using it as it is. I don't know much about compass's and thought I would poll the audience.....or phone a friend...... before I choose the 50/50 I like the compass....that's why I am consid...

Nawww! ! ! This pic was taken in Orange Beach marina after a trip on the "Necessity" I have just about decided not to launch mine.....it cost to much to operate.....much cheaper to keep buying resin, paint and sandpaper....and besides it keeps me out of trouble....LOL....just kidding! ! ! DeNada cou...

generally they free dive.......338lbs. Now that you say that....I notice that there are no tanks on board..... I shot several small fish when I was diving....in the 15/20 pound range and was always amazed at the fight in a "Small" fish Guys like your friend must really have Bigguns.......I guess th...

Harry Babb

WOW! !

He must be quite a diver.....and a really good shot.

I am sure that was a big day for him

hb

Harry Babb

looks just like something I would do.......he don't have restrictions on the Return Air side of his system.

I first thought he was in the Deep South....judging on the muddy water....is that the aftermath of Irene??

And John, your right, that is funny

hb

Harry Babb

Hang in there Rocky....persistance is the key.

Good to hear from ya....stay in touch here.

hb

Harry Babb

You can count on me.

Thanks Pat

For me this site is much much more than Boats, Fiber Glass and Diesel fuel

hb

Harry Babb

Congrats to you Jr........some day you gotta give me and your old man fishing and boat driving lessons.....Ha Ha! ! !

Hey Neil.......Jr can buy lunch for all of us next year.....

He has got to make you proud....I am proud of him and for you.

She sure is purty....

You did a good job Patrick.

Don't she make ya proud! !

Send that weather to Texas. They need it more than you! As I understand it, 2" of rain since last September. Just talked to a customer near Houston. She told me that her rain gage has dust in it. She has recorded .2" all summer. With no relief in sight. I have been out there a couple of times this ...

Harry Babb

By the way, Ray, that's a very impressive looking repair.....good work

how fast can you go offshore As fast as the seas and your pocket book will let you......trick here is watch where your going! ! ! ! I guess its pretty hard to see when your looking thru the bottom of a Bud Light can...LOL! ! ! Now with things below the waterline....that's another story! ! ! hb

Harry Babb

Well it looks like I will miss a perfect opportunity. If I had DeNada ready to float.....I could drive her back to the river on her own power by the end of this upcoming weekend......(just kidding) It is predicted that the disturbance in the Gulf will bless us with about 15 inches of rain during the...

Harry Babb

Is there only one of her kind in our defense fleet?.....has another builder built a sister to the Independence??

I hear that she will really "Tote the Mail"

hb

Harry Babb

I thought she looked familiar....we made a few parts for her.....deck fittings, equipment mounting brackets etc.

Austal is right across the bay

hb

Harry Babb

Hey Marlin

Any idea where she was built?

Made of aluminum by chance??

There is little honor in being the richest guy in the cemetary. So I gather that you have never seen an armored car following a hearse to the cemetary either.... I used to say "He who dies with the most toys, wins" then one day my brother shows up with his Harley and informs me that "He who dies wi...

Harry Babb

Dang Peter that's a good read....in fact tonight I will read it several more times....good info......thanks for sharing. In response to the Deep Throaty rumble of Cubic inches I have to tell you that the one thing I am gonna miss when and if I ever get DeNada back in the water....and that is the hai...

Harry Babb

EPA or the Natl Highway Transportation Board will make regulations controlling how the batteries must be disposed of, probably adding significant costs to the electric car equation. Sounds like the birth of an entire new industry....opportunity knocking.... Renegade response: refer to post #6 of th...

Harry Babb

Any idea on what it's going to cost to dispose of the battery Here in Alabama battery disposal (or anyother hazardous material for that matter) can be disposed for as little as $120.00.....total Procedure.......drive over to the next town, rent a mini storage....tell them that your name is Richard ...

Harry Babb

why the big air intake...what is it cooling? Good point.....I would assume that the electrical controls would require cooling and may be even the motor. The battery is as wide as the width of the trunk and sits directly over the rear wheels.....I don't really know where the control circuitry is loc...

Yesterday Jo Ann and I pulled into the parking lot at church and there where we seen this cute little car. We immediately had a bet as to whether a young person or an old man owned the car. Well as it turned out its owned by Alabama Power. Its sort of a promotional thing making folks aware of electr...

Harry Babb

Nice.....really nice

Looks like she really "Totes the mail"

Tell me about the Transom Lights, I bet they really light up the water.

Harry Babb

Sounds like all is well......glad to here that everyone came thru the storm without major incident.

I guess from here we can all get back to a normal life.

hb

Harry Babb

Accroding to the news that we see here in Alabama, there are more than 2 million folks without power. That is understandable considering Irene hit the most heavily populated areas. Local power companies have already deployed crews to help in restoring electricity to the east coast residents. The new...

All of the above is good advice....and not to be taken lightly If you plan to leave just as the pros have stated get yo stuff together and go......leave at the least, 1 to 2 full days before projected landfall.....dont wait and I repeat dont wait until the last minute.

One of the first lessons taught in operating lifting equipment is to keep the load near the ground or floor. Looking back I am sure that if the operator is rethinking his plan.

Only one more thing to add, you guys really should stay away from each other when tools are involved. Not bad......uhhhh......Bob had the vision and together we made it happen......we measured it with a micrometer, marked it with a crayon and cut it with a chain saw...... Quite frankley....I am pro...

Is that the jig and you build out of fiberglass? That's correct JP.....The jig was offset 3/4" per surface to accommodate the foam and fiberglass that will be used to construct the cabin. The foam panels will be cut and screwed from the backside to the "Jig" then the outside will be glassed and fai...

I had the same experience with a portable welding machine several years ago. One simple little diode shut down the whole show. The guys at Radio Shack can identify the diodes most of the time by the different colored rings and the number of rings around the diode. The diode costing less than $3.00 D...

Just got back home to Alabama this afternoon.....great trip This year I got to just simply sit and chat with several of my Bertram Brothers.... Bob and I rode over to Giffs maina, sat on the back of Shearwater and shared a cool one while visiting for an hour or so in the cool northern evening air......

Harry Babb
