Tom: 25 - 27 FEET! Good Lord! You guys are in my thoughts and prayers! Best of luck, keep your heads down and let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

Rawleigh

We may have to put together a food and fuel run for them!

Rawleigh

You tell 'em Harv!!!!

Rawleigh

I can't believe it has been 7 years already.

Rawleigh

Good luck to you Ernest and all of our Texas brethren! Keep your heads down!

Rawleigh

Harv, I always knew you had a big mouth . . . just kidding! I couldn't let that pass so easily! I know that is a letdown after all of the preparations. At least next time it should go smoothly.

Rawleigh

LOL! I was wondering that myself!!

Rawleigh

Ray: An alcohol ban, now that is cruel and unusual punishment! I look forward to your report. JP: I'm glad it wasn't worse, but . . . that sucks! How bad were the breaks? I hope that Doug heals quickly. I had a friend who broke both of his elbows when we were teenagers. It is very humiliating not to...

Rawleigh

Are they the rubber ones or the metal ones?

Rawleigh

Has anyone had any further news from Vic, Andre and any others on the Gulf Coast since the initial reports after the storm? I saw where Doug fell from his tower while prepping the boat and may have broken both arms!
Unfortunately it looks like another big one is headed their way!

Rawleigh

Good luck Harv! From what I hear I think you will be glad that you went ahead and did it! Get well quick my friend!

Rawleigh

We lucked out with Hanna here on the lower Bay. Sorry to hear you are going through tha again Dug.

Rawleigh

Matt: Thanks for the info! Glad you made out OK as well.

Rawleigh

Has anyone had any further word on how Doug is doing?

Rawleigh

Awesome!!

Rawleigh

UV: Glad to hear you are Ok. I know how hard it is to clean up from a smaller storm than Gustav, so I know you have your work cut out for you. Take it easy and be careful! Cutting storm felled trees is EXTREMELY dangerous. I did a lot of it and it still scares me! It is also darned hard work! Take c...

Rawleigh

UV: Good luck to you and Andre!!

Rawleigh

If there is anything that any of us can do or services we can provide, just ask!

Rawleigh

Now that is just beautiful!!!

Rawleigh

I've never seen an aftercabin 31!! Is it a custom factory cabin or a one off??

Rawleigh

Awesome!! I wish I could say that I had done that!!

Rawleigh

Happy Birthday to all!!

Rawleigh

Tell them it is like fine wine . . . !

Rawleigh

My original 1966 insert is engine turned chrome over laminate.

Rawleigh

How much?

Rawleigh

I kind of figured that Brewster. I bought a new one at the boat show, but was hoping to use it as a work jacket.

Rawleigh

Nice fish too!!

Also check out their carbon fiber sheets.

Rawleigh

Grundens or Viking for commercial wear. Helly Hanson is OK too. I too have a jacket that the plastic has peeled and cracked on the inside. I was wondering why I got so wet in the last tropical storm and that was the problem. I think that the heat of being left on the boat or in a car makes them dete...

Rawleigh

Happy birthday Old Man!!! Good luck with the birds!

Rawleigh

Darn! Did you prime it?

Rawleigh

Fall is getting closer by the day.

Ain't that the truth!!!

Rawleigh

Congratulations Kevin! it is good to know that one of the good guys got a job with the Feds. We hear so much bad about the Feds, but I am sure that there are a lots of good guys like yourself working everyday to keep us safe. We never hear about them though. I will sleep better knowing you are on th...

Use the borate solution, like Timbor. Nontoxic to humans, mixes up with water and is sprayed on with a garden sprayer. Apparently it kills off some bacteria in their digestive systems and they die of starvation.

Rawleigh

RUH ROH!! Sorry to see that!

Rawleigh

I think I better smoke another joint . . .

Rawleigh

Give 'em Hell Vic!! I know you will have a great time. Wish I were going again too!! Bring back good pictures of the man in the Blue Suit!!

Rawleigh

These are 7", but should be able to be converted as they use standard 5/8 x 11 spindles:

They also have a cheaper version:

I got jammed up on applying mine last year too. I just sprayed it on a few hours before splash. Only one coat. I had the best luck using the two layer system s that Interlux and Pettit sell. First layer is a chlorinated rubber primer (orange in color) followed by the two part metal primer. The botto...

Rawleigh

Tico has a Titanium Anchor too!! Neat!

Rawleigh

I think those guys are in Panama.

Rawleigh

Nice hoist!! And in your back yard too!! That should help with the turn around time on the overhaul!! Well, maybe not, it didn't work for Thudd!

Rawleigh

Good news Mikey!! If you need any help adjusting the throttle let me know!

Rawleigh

Vic has 6BT's. I think he says that the 4's vibrate a lot more than the 6's.

Rawleigh

Bon Voyagee, as bugs would say!! Have a great time! Don't let Vic get in too much trouble in Panama City!

Rawleigh

John: Basically the horizontal exhaust tube extends forward of the place where it Y's up to the engine manifold. Surge tubes are 18 to 24 " long and the same diameter as the exhaust. They are just an extension of the exhaust pipe with a cap on the end. Any water that may be driven up the exhaust wil...

Rawleigh

I need a round one too!

Rawleigh

I have a Lawrence Vertical type capstan. It is about 20 years old, but hasn't seen hard usage and is kept under cover.

Rawleigh

It depends on the paint used. I have had good luck with most sign painters enamel using straight acetone. Any gel type paint stripper would be good.

Rawleigh

Now that was funny!!!
