I recall seeing a shipshape episode where the Pacer Group had built a wire harness for the Logan Foundation give away boat. It used waterproof snap together connectors. There were matching pigtail connectors for the accessories. A quick google search showed a few possibilities for wire harness compa...

Congratulations on finishing the PPL program. I bet there are a few of us here on the boards that are flyers. Truth be told I am trying to finish an airplane restoration before moving to the B25. That way I can get to the coast quicker! Todd

I can only imagine how many times you have been up and down those steps on the stepladder! I am assuming you decided not to have someone else paint it? Todd

. The online reviews are divided into 2 camps: half say they are the best things since canned beer, and the other half say they are the worst junk ever created. Honestly this seems to be the opinion of almost ever bilge pump I look at. I like the idea of the Johnson cartridge pumps but the reviews ...

I just finished a boat that had 31 years on a foamed uncoated aluminum tank that honesty could have been re-used but it didn't seem prudent. I also was changing the size of the tank. So I also built a shelf for the new tank to sit on slightly elevated above the bilge with drilled holes in the botto...

Cam keep taking those small steps and before you know it the project will be done. Glad the engine was not a catastrophe! Todd

You could also switch to a low profile exhaust manifold where the risers are at the back.
This will give you some ideal: https://www.ebay.com/p/?iid=12206980524 ... rue&chn=ps

$1499.00 Let us know how it works out. My son is moving to Pensacola in a month so it would be easy for me to pick one up and save the shipping cost. Todd

Some affordable options. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AFFORDABLE-OUTBOARD-MOTOR-TRANSOM-BRACKET-SINGLE-ENGINE-W-FULL-PLATFORM-/322487740251?hash=item4b15c4675b:g:KtoAAOSwxj5XQecA&vxp=mtr You can always buy one and have it reinforced by a local welder as well. Corey, This ebay seller is literally just a ...

Are you saying that too big a trailer is bad? And if so is it because the springs are not bouncing enough? WOW if so never gave it thought like that! Could you use different springs on the heavier trailer to change the ride? Yes that was my experience. I see no reason on a leaf spring trailer that ...

My only comment is to got go too far on the overcapacity trailer. Years ago I pounded the analogue engine gauges to death on a boat with an overcapacity trailer on a long trip.

bunk tandem axle around 6500 lbs capacity. Lots of pictures of it here: http://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-how ... hread.html

Figure an aluminum tank will run about $10 per gallon to build. Shipping coatings and installation is of course extra.

Fold down door is cool. I didn't realize that the bracket affected the reverse before this thread. Got me thinking. Todd

John, Do you get a better ride with the center console arrangement? I admit that looks a lot better with the splashwell compared to a bracket. Plus 2K cheaper! Todd

I am planning to be in Lakeland 4/7 leaving on 4/9. I am taking a Tahoe but if you tell me in time I can tow a small utility trailer down and bring it back to Atlanta if that will help? Todd

Are the blueprints digital or hard copy? if not digitalized can they be scanned? Todd

OK--I know nothing about the 31 flybridge or any old post regarding same. But I have had similar issues on other boats and used diamond aluminum plate (tread plate) purchased from the metal supermarkets: https://www.metalsupermarkets.com/metals/ I have also used starboard cnc cut and edges finished ...

I used the folding Accorn 8" cleat on a 25' only because I did not want to make the larger holes/ openings that the popup cleat requires (some are a slot and others are 4 holes IIRC). I also did not want to worry about water getting inside around the cleat somehow. The fold-down cleats are two holes...

"Is this a commercial product or is it a home-brewed solution?!..."
And if the latter maybe a picture next to a ruler or some dimensions?

Didn’t they stretch the 31’ to 35' on the outboard powered 31 featured in the Florida Sportsman video? As I remember it they had about 500K in that restoration. Todd

Edit--P.S. here is the link to the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tazTfjJqGf4

price was 570K

That price is in Euro so concerts to right at 90K. Nice B28 but not sure I like such a light interior fabric color. Todd

Steve it definitely doing some R&D on his boat on the power side. I think it is a great exercise to try various options and I commend him for his efforts. I probably fall in to the more traditional camp of wanting to go with adequate power on my B-25. Captain Bone’s experiment proved that a single 2...

CamB25 " I forgot how to fish...I am an expert sander now."
Now that is funny! Todd

Tom, I was also tagged last week off of Masnasquan. Slow day with the fish. http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/jfikentscher/11-07-2016%20038_zpsbkntuagw.jpg Tony, we fished from Manasquan to Seaside, close and out to about two miles. Lots of bait, fish showing on sounder but a bust as for hook...

Last week on the TV show "Ship Shape" they did a little segment on the B35 in conjunction with the Newport show. Nice boat!

Yeah free up deck space and he'd have the extra room under the deck for the additional fuel he'd need to push the boat with outboards. One thing I'm not sure about...now that you free up the two mid sides, what do you do with that upper deck space and what about the lost space at the transom as you...

Call me a traitor but I would consider selling those 3208 and going with two 300hp outboards. Regaining the motor box deck area would be big.

What kind of bikes and where just outside Atlanta? I am just outside of Atlanta and have been on the dirtbike side of riding a long time. Long shot but might know of your seller. Also you could ask Frank Mole transportation about backhauling on an empty run. That guy just brought my b-25 from Maine ...

If you are still thinking about this I have a simple design off an old Penn Yan flybridge that I can take a picture of. Basically it uses two aluminum leg and seatback brackets as bases for the bottom and seat back. So you can just make the seat bottom and back any width you want and then adjust the...

I just bought a 25 restoration project with a high tower and I am wondering how you boat handles with the tower. What do you have for power? Any pictures? Todd
