i picked up an old (dont know how old...but not that old) evinrude 2.3 for the inflateable.....got new gas...cleaned the plug....no spark.....next step is.........................?? that would be "yard sale"

randall

after 10 years in commercial marinas i got a slip in a small neighborhood marina....like breathing fresh air for the first time......when i left the last yard the owner said to me "i'm glad to see you go, i dont want customers who pull and replace their own engines....i want costumers who give me th...

randall

timmy...i can personally guarentee you that andre has caught more and bigger fish than you this summer..................and thats just from the kayak

randall

OK harry.......with reasoning like that i have to concede the point

randall

actually bruce the last leg should be by boat (mine)

randall

dont think so....men are historicly quicker........there are exceptions however

btw cap't...you get my idea for your new avatar?......and the message about jeff not being able to access the site

randall

well... i really screwed up.........i painted my chrome valve covers....thought it looked more nautical.....wonder how much speed i lost

randall

good advice....i have the jrs on the fly bridge

randall

well the key word is auction.....if someone gets it for the storage bill...thats quite a steal

randall

timmy...missed your question till now.....just off the top of my head id say no way on HP to weight....etype is much faster..240z....135HP...0-60 8 seconds..wheel base maybe ...but so what....lots of cars share that....my healey has more cubes...i'm thinkin its an inhouse design created to mine the ...

randall

helps if the oil is hot but ive done mine with the oil cold...takes longer but still works......im a fan of systems that work all the time....like the salt water wash down pumps in panama.........one time when jesse was 4 or five we came into the beach in the canoe....two guys were giving an outboar...

randall

mike and i did his last week...both engines and the gen.....i have one of those you pump it a few times and it sucks (timmy can insert rude comment here) do dads and no motors, batteries vanes or impellers and you do stick the plastic hose down the dip stick tube......it works fine

randall

i fully intend to pick your brain while i have you captive...you must feel like a doctor at a cocktail party

randall

neither....not even close......straight six the only relation to a jag.....not even a far distant cousin to any ferrari.........but a well thought out ,reliable,mass produced , inexpensive, utilitarian "sports car" they sold a million of em....no surprise

randall

great shot!!....boat looks wonderful....kids look better

randall

probably feed a few families in pinas

randall

you dont get a rebate for anything.....and none was needed......if you can catch this many fish in a week...you having a good week....ill try mikes shots again http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n186/randallro/miksail2.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n186/randallro/mike.jpg i case you were wo...

randall

ok heres a few more.......mike walter and i were lucky to get there at all.....we almost wound up in lima, peru......here's my first rooster...caught it 20 miles up the coast at the next village.....i really went to look at the waves http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n186/randallro/randallrooster.j...

randall

ok.. here's one...more to follow

randall

well at least i came in second in the surfing division,and third in the kayak division (i'll give second to andre)...broke my favorite spinning rod on the second cast.....large fish.......came home to the news that my boat was going in the water this morning.....long day on no sleep yesterday...its ...

randall

OK..we back...it was great......new friends and fun fishing , waves were small.....but its early morning and i've been up all night..more to follow (with pictures)

randall

nic...must be a surfer thing....i've gone out a few times in ridiculous conditions just out of curiosity....boat did great.......once in santa barbara a friend and i took his 29 foot sloop out in a gale just to "practice"......soon as we cleared the harbor entrance the mast snapped in two.....we got...

randall

thats really great!!!...i'm sure he has a boatload of folks rooting for him now

randall

did however ,for one year anyway , have a surfing division..UV aint gonna win that one

randall

well...first off i did put together a little something to raffel off for drinks...(yellow pad).........figure we got less bodies...so we need more prizes............heres a quickie shot of the calendar.......dosen.t show the page seperation (which is the best part) but its just a hand held snap from...

randall

paid off i guess ..since i was drivin the boat when marshal and randy caught that tuna.......and ernest was the only other UVI participant foolish enough to even go out

randall

didnt quite get the raffle piece made...maybe next year ..am bringing a tropic star wall calander...not sure whats gonna happen to it.....maybe they'll want to sell it in the store or someone will buy it and help me pay for the trip......or ill bring it home and put it in a gallery and no one will h...

randall

funny...i was dreamin about catching perfect waves and a big fish from the kayak

randall

looks great.....super CLEAN!!...............nice trailer too

randall

all righty then...nice fish!!!

randall

UV.....sounds about right....caren , jesse (age 3) and me at the airport in mexico......senor,you must pay $60 dollars exit fee for your surfboard ..(unfortunatly only have 12 dollars in my pocket....left the money for long term parking locked in the car at kennedy)....go in the back room with the a...

randall

that would be....lucky

randall

i figure all things considered we were ucky to get on the plane at all

randall

i guarantee you that the NY contingent will bring less fishing equipment....we could have opened a sporting goods store with what hank brought....but i still need my little spinning rod to fish from the kayak......dont forget the sun screen

randall

OK...i take it all back.....lets go sight seeing...when is this trip?....bet we can put together a small crew

randall

ha ha ...being 5 foot 6 does have certain advantages...watching charlie try to sleep on the fly bridge seat pretty much sumed it up.....and i almost never bang my head on the cabin roof

randall

here there is miles of empty beach...theres a few public beaches with life guards and one with a building but the rest of the town is open water...swim at your own risk.............my neighbor and i rescued a guy out "surfin" in double overhead waves.......he tried to take off.....got pitched, broke...

randall

half the time i cant even tell what it wa like yesterday

randall

walter...saturday did not look like fun...called it a tuesday and put in 10 hours at the work bench...2 large army copters set down on the maidstone ball field cause of the fog......very nice young men but told em they had to be gone by 1PM sunday (we won...) the town gave 6 of em a new town van to ...

randall

when i fish with matt....i wind and he drinks....(and directs)...another panama por favor?

randall

walter...did you go to the blessing of the fleet?

randall

geez...sounds great.....yummy...

randall

greg.....good luck....should be no prob either way

randall

good advice......after 45 years of playing in the surf ive seen numerous rescues (been part of a few)........its almost always inexperience and panic........thats why its almost always tourists and kids

randall

good job...bet they were excited on the way in

randall

nordeng.........you can skip the whole thing and just run the south shore of long island...go around montauk and straight to newport....montauk to newport is only a few hours......fastest most direct route from point A to B..maybe you can find someone to take the ride with you..

randall

thanks for the help...gonna rebuild whats there as its not an easy spot to reach and taking the muffler out dont appeal to me at all.

randall

thanks partick.....fraid if i try to uncrush it it will break entirely....its the male end......building it back to round with cloth and thickened epoxy....using a little piece of hose as a form....looks like it had taper to begin with so i dont think the sleeve will work....but its good to know the...

randall

thanks guys...now the next problem is the bozo who put the exhaust system together over tightened the 2 inch flange on the end of the muffler...crushing it pretty good....i can tell from the rust telltale it was about a 1/4 inch from leaking.....................so....do i put a little piece of hose ...

randall
