randall

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......works better when you can see the missing teeth

randall

i dont know ...i have to decide to fish on a B31....fish from the kayak, or go surfing.....could be tough.......four to six is pretty easy.....umbrella drinks in the pool

randall

not this afternoon mike......bouys showin 13+ winds out of the east at 25...big sloppy mess...8 foot breakers at the beach and victory at sea

randall

tell carter good job...proud papa....how rough was it?

randall

brewster...22 pound fluke?.......thats BIG!!!.....those fish on the dock were around 6-7 lbs each.....

the spot we caught em is easily accessible with the kayak....so im gona give that a go .......60 foot bertram....16 foot kayak.....hey the fish cant tell the dif

randall

walter....oops...forgot to give you credit...caught 4 of the keepers on your homemade fluke rig and my little spinning rod.....tasty dinner tonight

thats the radar tower just off my left ear (montauk air base)

randall

my friend stanley and i put the 19 1/2 inch fluke regs to the test today....took ten fish to get the first keeper (threw back a 19 7/16 (i offered to stand on it a bit) but i guess it was good karma as we limited out....threw back 9 fish over 19 inches...caught 40 in all.......fun day http://i112.ph...

randall

nice report UV.....it was a lot calmer here

randall

ill take 2 mediums.....one for me and one for patrick

randall

so far so good...and you can run them at low speed dry.... i have come in on one engine 3 times with no apparent problems..........going fluke fishin' today on the sixty foot bertram......as long as i dont have to chip in for fuel....those some expensive fluke

randall

any of you port eades types catch the name of that boat?

randall

nice shot on the avatar nic....where is that?

randall

good job.......hooking the kids on boats and fishing is more important than hooking fish........7,9s on the bar ?......anyone out surfing?

randall

its great to hook your kids into something you both enjoy......that way when they are 16 and dont want to be on the same planet with you...there is still something you can share ....great shot!!

randall

not the slightest bit surprised.......the longer you live in this (bertram ) world the more folks and actions like this seem to be the norm.......what seperates us from the rest.......plus brewster has a very interesting 31.....form follows function

randall

hey marshall...got nothing to add to patricks good advice...just wanted to say hi.......maybe we'll all be in port eades again soon......good luck with the boat....always the sentimental favorite

randall

patrick....those aren't them....im sure mike will chime in eventually....pompanet (sp?) maybe?.....i have the lee jrs on the bridge....old technology to say the least

randall

mikes mount on the eye brow...have no reinforcement other than a backing plate and have no other mechanicals....just the swivel at the base.....and an internal line....very very clean and easy to mount and use.....we did have to make shims.....the original down position was an eye poke on the dock

randall

if it was me id head for montauk..go north of gardners and into sag....................I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO STAY IN THE CHANNEL APPROCHING SAG HARBOR.....its a little counter intuative as the channel is way on the south side and you will see locals cutting close to the sout...

randall

harry...thanks,,,appreciate it....like the work itself ,it is somewhat of an illusion...its way more about confidence and the ability to make stuff up as you go and see the future...a lot like surfing.....patience is required but not nearly as much as you would think....ask my wife...i'm not particu...

randall

andre.....c'mon we were only ten minutes late..........andre is of course refering to his famous (in bertram world ) quote...when asked to go below and look at the GPS screen to see where the cursor was( dense fog ,running the beach for speed) he replied.........."we're on land!!"

randall

its not just the height.....the whole car is scaled up......vivid memory from the sixties...a street ford gt parked in front of the elementary school around the corner from my house....i think they were around 25K....later saw a few at the bridge (bridgehampton race track)....great car

randall

i use a straight edge a mat knife and a fishtail gauge for 75% of my work.....but its good to have machines and friends with "real" shops

randall

timmmy...i'll probably bring it round....then i can wind up with 2 cars a truck and a boat all in the same place....you might have to drive one back to my house

randall

any one familiar with a "real" one realizes the new ones are out of scale....should have just made a new car....that said..be happy to drive yours

randall

that would be great.....saw a boat today named "painkiller"...if the owner only knew....

randall

steve....no blue on my boat.....black bottom paint....gray 2' boot stripe set off by a thin red stripe between the gray and black.....hey..i like it

randall

what brewster said......

randall

yeah...my tag says 16 also.......never gonna see that unless its a rescue.......half that is tops

randall

bob......hardly stupid....just human....actually you deserve a round of applause from every one here.

randall

hope you feel better

randall

have a honda generator (and a civic)...fire that puppy up once a year weather it needs it or not...always starts right up

randall

UV.....i always run water through the power washer before i start it....not cause you're supposed to but because its mikes...no probs yet....very glad to hear about snow

randall

no ...just my usual asprin induced projectile bleeding

randall

not great but with the right partner can move to the music.......no surfing today....volleyball and softball.........blocked a spike with my face and got a split lip and a broken pair of brand new vaurnets.......should have stayed home and worked on the boat

randall

ugh...i hate this board....here it is sunday morning and first thing i have to look at an absolutely beautiful, well thought out helm. now i have to put another project on my already too full dance card......stop...youre killin me and envy is not pretty

randall

i paint my own boat bottom (obviously)....the question is....if its illegal......why do they sell paint?

randall

It's a hull guys, not a sponge. Short money for a project, IMO...

CMP

think we all agree.....we're just takin time out from agreeing to make fun of hatts.................

randall

and the problem with that is??????????

at least its wet...even when its not raining

randall

me too

randall

must still be under

randall

too easy

randall

charlie.....no wires......keep the macbook pro on the night table next to the bed in the loft..............soon we'll move to the summer bedroom (the one with no heat) and the little note book will live in there......it really is a marvel....still have the desk top hooked up and email stuff from one...

randall

Hueso.....how did you change the photo? GOT IT!!

randall

you welcome......its the modern world....who would have thunk it.....i remember when we had no TV...let alone color or a remote....and now that whole desk top of boxes ,screens, and wires is sittin in my lap while i lay in bed and type this........whats next?

randall

vic...thats kind of surprising...they were building a house on the open ocean beach i went to with achilles in the panga......my guess is school worries..................really nice folks.........hope the new guy surfs

randall

i used tempo (of course then they immediatly discontinued the color).....but hear por i5 is the best

randall

one done in the shop...the other done in the boat........just a matter of time and determination.....dremel with wire brush works great on hard to reach spots........the shop refinish i unbolted everything and sand blasted....but from 10 feet away they look the same http://i112.photobucket.com/album...

randall

i run my 360 chryslers out of the water all the time.....ok, maybe not all the time but ive done it alot...my boat has crash valves... so i close the thru hull and feed water through the crash valve..(have a system of funnel and pipe)..if there is no provision for crash valves or winterizing you can...
