With PE gone, who's cooking and where we staying? Is the shrimp pimp coming and what is Ranall carving?

Dr Matt, I just got my shipments from Bennessere and Cain, if you're reading!

Hal

Bump one engine in and out of gear or install trolling valves.

Hal

I had a Kohler/Yanmar 5kw in my 28 and was very happy with it. It was mounted under the center hatch between the engines and was completely serviceable.

Good luck.

Hal

Go ahead and buy the fourth and put one on each side as Capt Pat suggested and two on the transom. If you want to stick with three, then put one in the center of the transom as low as you can get it.

THere are two on the transom of the 45 and we wish we would have had another on each side.

Hal

I changed mine out once a year whether they needed it or not. The only time I had to do extra was when I didn't pay attn to the tension and one got a little loose and chewed up. Otherwise, do the maintenance and keep wire brushes and can's of paint on hand.

Hal

I don't know if those little orange cone things will work or not, but I had the same problem with that roly-poly tossyourassouttathetower 28 footer Xanadu. Instead of tossing the cash out for the rocker stoppers, I figured an even better way. Check out the avatar for a sure fire way to end the hyena...

Hal

Damn, Matt! That makes me want to make the drive to Texas for a snack or two. And all that French! Very haute.

Which Port were you drinking behind the scenes anyway?

Hal

Any chance you've got secondary fuel filters or a screen on the line that you didn't check?

Hal

Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner. Get the parts, send certified demands for denial explanation adn check your statute of limitations. Have an independent expert re-evaluate the claim and tell him before hand all of the facts including what the reason for denial was. Pay him out of pocket for his o...

Hal

UV, the holidays must have been good to you - you're in such a charitable mood sharing recipes and stuff. 'cause round here they call those weehoos, but we cook them the same way!

That is surely the best eating fish that swims. Happy Holidays.

Hal

I had a 28 with twin Yanmars, genset and all the other nice things we cram in our little boats. It was a snap rolling tender ass dog! Cobia fishing up here in a 3' sea would make you feel like you could reach out of the tower and touch the approaching wave with your hand. Under power it wasn't too b...

Hal

El Gaupo, Billy Dean definitely sounds like a redneck.

How did the son of one of the true and faithful end up in such a god forsaken state?

Hal

You guys have fun and UV, please try not to hurt anyone. But last time I went to a Hat event they had fois gras and bulldozer lobster. Maybe you'll get away with a belly full of snacks before they run out of tea and crumpets. Don't forget your chalk incase someone falls off one of the leather bar st...

Hal

On their way UV. Ya'll have fun with the round butts and enjoy their bar!

Hal

Anyone want a couple Hatteras VIP tickets? Catered lunch and everything.

You could wear your Bertram shirts!

Hal

Captain, that is a mighty fine shirt you got, but sunglasses inside at night ain't cool in Texas!

Hal

I had the 170s in my 28 and with full tower, generator and the full load, we were lucky to make 16 kts. We never paid attention to the rpms, only the pyrometers and while the fuel burn was very miserly, the boat was very underpowered. At WOT, the boat handled beautifully so while I would recommend t...

Hal

One of my tachs has died on the 35. Is this one tack or two you've got?

Hal

Can you post a link to the site so I can read up on what they're offering?

I would appreciate it. Also, 2 coming off the transom are enough to seriously light up the area. I'll post the specifics of what they've got on the 45 when I get it.

Hal

The best I've seen was a bench seat integrated into the back of a tower and hanging over the back of the flybridge's floor. This allowed the captain's seat to be large and comfortable and still accomodate a couple extra folks up top.

Think of it as a rumble seat of sorts.

Hal

Well, Jim. I got rid of Xanadu a little over 2 years ago and replaced her with that beautiful 35 in my avatar. Now I'm damn near a 20kt cruise fully loaded while still not making Omar any richer. As I recall, the cruise rpms for Xanadu were about 2800 at 1100 degrees on the pyrometer. We ran her no ...

Hal

What are the dates? I'd love to come if UV is having a drinking contest!

Screw the show, what's up with the bar?

Hal

I don't know about the Steyr, but it doesn't seem even remotely possible. The 28 I had was a slow ass pig with 170 Yanmars. 11 Gallons per hour was great, but with a full load headed to South Pass for the UVI a couple years ago, we made a disgusting 15kts. Of course, we had a 400 mile range, but the...

Hal

Uncle Vic, glad to see you didn't have the young'un banished for his insolence. You'd make a good and benevolent ruler if you were just a little skinnier and had measuring marks on your side!

How's AJ coming or did you change the name to "Another Howdy"

Hal

Charlie Its been 10 years but my wife and I fished on the Sundowner a 35 Bert out of Kona, before they became really famous. I have to say that they were pretty good back then. Tony Meola The Sundowner used to be Norm Isaacs boat before he moved to Florida to run the BXRL. Captain Erik Rusnak, aka ...

Hal

Happy Days!

Hal

Very, very good work!

I only wonder if they ever looked that good new. Seems like an instant classic and most got better with age. Sorry I'm not old enough to know what a new one looked like.

Hal

I love taking stuff off the boat and lightening the load. Back when I still had Xanadu it was a religious experience to lighten her up enough to make 17kts. Makes you feel fast and skinny like a kid. Anyway, I just wanted to say HOWDY UV! That sure is a pretty boat you got. Since you're not heading ...

Hal

Howdy, Andre! How's things in coonassland? Reggie looks good in those shiny gold cleats.

Nice door, btw.

Hal

Wow, UV. Those are big plans for a daytripping howdy boat.

But where are you going to put the bar and kegerator?

Hal

Wow, what a rocket ship!

And, Garry, I didn't realize you live in Slidell. My brother and dad live there too.

How'd you do with Katrina?

Hal

The 3 cylinder Kubota / Phasor 7kw Genset on Southern Breeze failed immediately prior to our little accident and now that she's back in the water we have begun trying to figure it out. Anyway, all 3 cylinders were full of water and rusted. The headgasket appears fine and the valves need to be redone...

Hal

When you gonna be ready to meet us in Venice?

Hal

You can tell Vic's satisfied with AJ's speed or he'd have made that kid tip the paint he rolled on longitudinally with a brush!

Hal

Sounds good. I'm sure she'll be glad to be home with clears on board, for sure.

Hal

Hey, why do you have a picture of my boat as your Avatar?

Patrick, you getting nutty so far from the water?

Hal

Here are a couple that Trip and Bo Carter took with my camera while at TSL with you guys. http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/Panamapictures.jpg http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/trip%20blue%202%20small%20file.jpg http://www.forumpictureprocessor.c...

Hal

That was me, Captain.

Would you care to email me the details about the rebuilt parts? Are they something you could supply?

Any downside to the upgrade?
