White spots that look like water spots. Cover as in a boat house(shade). No Clorox, too even all over.
She was stripped and primed before paint.

Mikey

When we painted Dreamsicle that pale orange it was a special mix from Awlgrip, actually Awlcraft. After five years (mostly covered) white spots started appearing in the paint. Just before launch we resprayed the stern and the results are the same as the rest of the boat. They are not water spots as ...

Mikey

Peter, Thanks for the tour through site fishing for stripers. Haven't done it yet. Have cast to them while they're schooled under a bunch of bunkers. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Did I really say that? About to pull Dreamsicle for the winter. Sad. Took a cruise of the creek and Rappahannock yeste...

Mikey

Two quickies on the colonoscopy. First, if you're having it done in the winter ignore the Doc's suggestion that the Holly-go-lightly cocktail is tolerable cold. After downing a gallon of that stuff (vodka doesn't help) I damn near froze to death. Lowered my body temp two points. Second, had both col...

Mikey

Welcome, Peter. Like to hear more about your site fishing for stripers.

Mikey

Brew,
Not so for early boats. It's glassed into the hull under the port-side v-berth.

Mikey

One more piece of the puzzle.

Got my airline tickets six months ago.
Palm trees, here I come!

Mikey

Damn, I need to try that.
Thanks

I still have the remnants of my original door. The door is in bad shape but the window is serviceable. Need it?

Mikey

Hello, My name's Mikey and I'm aboataholic.
Hi, Mikey
It all started when . . .

Mikey

Mark
................paper or plastic!
Not a problem, I'm bi-sacksual

Mikey

Walt
Here's another clue. Mine is 31-327 as glassed into the port vee berth. Additionally in the same place is the date 3-18-63.
Kind of removes all doubt, huh?

Mikey

JAck, Keep us posted on the rebuild progress at Port Eades. The house looks great, brings back some memories, I'm packing now.

Mikey

Thanks, Vic, Pat. Great memories. That was UVI II.
Behind Sonny is Capt Mike Holmes, who had an express that came to a bad end in a hurricane. He still writes boating and fishing articles for several magazines. Think he still lurks about even though his Black Sheep is gone.

Mikey

If that was BJ's boat he bought it from a member of the Faithful in FL. Told the story at a UVI. He didn't know who the purchaser was, even after meeting him. Just some guy who flew in to look at and then buy his 31. Later someone at his marina who saw the purchaser identified him for our member. Vi...

Mikey

Mean Mike,
Let's do it!

Mikey

Don't guess, now that we have the facts, I need to comment, but buy her.
To paraphrase Vic, We're here for you.

Mikey

Did you mention the price?

Mikey

First impression? If it sounds too good . . .
Also a past post suggested to another engine hunter that service and parts availability was paramount. Still holds true.
Listen to Uncle Vic.

Mikey

Harry,
Reminds me of the old West (by God) Virginia compliment that is guaranteed to get you laid,

Nice Tooth!

Mikey

Rawleigh,
Noticed that Miss M was staked out for the last hurricane. Dreamsicle hasn't made it back inside yet. Maybe this weekend.
Maybe not.

Mikey

Ross,
Welcome. Yea, lots of B31's in the Vi, both U.S. and Brit.
Love the hardtop on that express.

Mikey

When rebuilding our dock and boat house we put down ipe decking. Tried a finish for that brown look. After two attempts we sanded it off and went natural. Looks great after five years. No issues. http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x54/mikeylikesitnow/P2010001_1.jpg Well, you can't really see it unde...

Mikey

Bet you damned near choked on your eggs.

Mikey

Thanks, Bob.

Mikey

Trying to buy a thermostat for a Cummins 6BTA 300 today online and need a part number to be certain that I'm getting the right one.
Anyone have it on hand?
Thanks.

Mikey

First you make a roux . . .

Mikey

Greek recipe??? Thought I had seen them all. How did I miss this one. UV, encore!

Mikey

Yas,sa boss, I'se a comin'

Mikey

Just read a story in our local Rappahannock Record that said that there were actually two bulls caught in the area.
I remember them as a kid, not many but they were and still are there.

Mikey

Rawleigh
Didn't even have to take her out of the boathouse, although I did. Have enough extra lines to hang her. Better safe than, "Hello, Allstate?"
Assume you were the same as I got no distress calls.
By the by, I have your WW II CD. Drop by sometime.

In the middle of Earl here in Tidewater Virginia. Earl has maintained his Republican status by moving to the right and leaving the Old Dominion fairly unscathed. Virginia Beach is getting some tropical force winds, rain and high surf but all-in-all were Otay. Supposed to be sunny and in the 90's lat...

Mikey

Hueso,
Trying to reach friends on Tortola to no avail. Power is probably out. Heard that the Bomba Shack was a casualty. How sad. Bomba will have the local rabble out scouring the beach and neighborhood for scrap lumber and tin to rebuild. CAn't do without that bar. What would we do at the full moon?

Mikey

Bob,
That's why I wished to have worn hip boots.

Mikey

Otay, Vic.
Put my office building on the market three months ago. Great time to try to sell Real estate, even if willing to hold short paper.
Pray if you got'em.

Mikey

Vic sent it to
2355 Drusilla Lane.
Correct?

Mikey

Rawleigh,
This was a Broker who shall remain nameless since he exhibits all the other attributes of a lying m.f.

Mikey

Russ,
If you come as far as VA to VIR let me know.
That's our home track and newly restored and getting high marks.

Mikey

Now that's the way to celebrate a birthday.
Did you get my present?

Mikey

Second time in two weeks I have heard this. Was with a friend looking at 31's and a broker told me about it on early 31's. He said he had it removed (straightened) from his 1962 fly bridge and increased the speed rather appreciably. Never rode in his boat but his story seemed a bit far fetched. Has ...

Mikey

Andre,
Out of the water and covered. Damn, I'm so jealous. If I could do that the owner of the yard where I haul annually would commit suicide,
I fitting end.

Mikey

Mike, Having lived on the hook for a couple of years I can give you a few suggestions. First 40 feet of line in fifteen feet of water is not enough unless it is very calm and you're there just for lunch. Your safe "scope" (the ratio of anchor line to the depth should be at least 7 - 1, but for safet...

Mikey

Mike,
Where are you located? There may be one or more of us in your area that can help.
Always get a reputable surveyor to do his or her thing.

Mikey

UV, the easily entertained
You need a hobby! Does Miss Elaine know you have this much time on your hands?

Mikey

Harv,
They're beautimus! Thanks

Obama and McChrystal are conversing in the oval office and it is not going well for the general. The president surmises same and to lighten the mood says to the general, "I suppose when I die you will come piss on my grave." "No Sir Mr. President, I swore that when I got out of the service I would n...

Mikey

Patrick,
Thanks for the pictures. Answered my questions except for: Is there any structural issue with removing the material inside? It would appear that if so the replacement of same as you did it would replace any loss, or am I just barking at a parked car?

Mikey

No more??? It's like childbirth, in time women forget the pain and some guy sweet talks them and . . We'll see! If you have time and inclination I would love to see the progression of the "dished out look" of the entrance to the V berth. The open look gives the impression if not the actual space of ...
