Phew... I was hoping. A couple years ago we were out and there was a Grady that lost all power. No starting batteries. They had a hand held that was powerful enough for us to hear them because they were close, but I think we were the only ones... I handed over my genset so they could boost up and ge...

Dug

Mark,

Is it anywhere near Gregory?

Dug

Bob, it was amazing in so many ways. I am happy to recommend the lodge anytime, though the name will never fail to cause a chuckle. Lets just say you need to make sure you enter it into your google search very carefully... The dogs, the guides, the land, the pheasant population, the guys I was fortu...

Dug

Nice! Indeed it is time to break out the shotgun and start to at least try to hit those little orange discs as they aim to avoid any level of success! Addieville here I come, and the local club first! Last year I had the trip of a lifetime! Headed out to South Dakota for my first jaunt of pheasant h...

Dug

I was just thinking the same thing Charlie!

Dug

I assumed it was Daves boat. I don't think Billy would have named his boat Rock Star. Just doesn't seem like his way of doing things. I believe his boat was the one that was next to me in Greenport, named Chloe.

Anyway, good luck with the boat. I hope you serve each other well!

For sure!

Dug

Brand new tower and riggers...

Dug

It was Charlie, you are right.

The previous owner of this boat was Davidms I believe.

He was sad to see her go, but I think he hopes she is going to a good home. Tom Ward was the broker.

Dug

Dug

Exactly!!! And if I am going to do one thing, I might as well keep going to a degree, to get it to the way I want/like it. The truth is that I have done a lot of the work, in fact most of it, myself. And it is solid, passes detailed inspection by the best (unless they are not telling me everything!)...

Dug

What a tough call. My boat is not painted. It is original gelcoat. But this weekend really gave me some stress. Liz and I contemplated running out to Block for lunch with a friend from high school on Sunday. It was really tough water. We turned around at Watch Hill Passage when we encountered the op...

Dug

The boat is damned solid. I want to do it to mine. No doubt.

Lacking courage! :)

and my excuse is the indoor space...

And I'm sticking to it!

Seriously, Bob, let me know when you want to do it again! I'm game...

Dug

Bob isn't restoring a boat. He's building a new one with an existing hull!!! ;)

Dug

I want an iPhone4!!!!

Dug

Bob, I have all the fun toys needed from a cabinet saw (a big MF table saw), router, router table, etc. Just don't really know what I need depending on the door, and tricks to look out for. One I do know is the little rubber balls to allow for expansion and contraction of the middle section. But wha...

Dug

Depending on a few key qualifications, topless can be a wonderful thing...

Dug

And duh...

Bob, that door is absolutely magnificent!!!!

Dug

I really want to figure out how to make my own doors. I could use the skill in many places, amongst which is my boat. I need to make a couple doors for home too. I know I can buy online, but the satisfaction just ain't the same... Any advice on good books to guide me, or perhaps a shop in the MA are...

Dug

Good news all around!

Now UV, thank you for that vivid description of the items found. I needed that serious humor as I am not feeling all that hot today. That was awesome!

Take care,

Dug

Dug

Vic,

They say that, and stick to it, but I got mine back in 2-3 weeks. It really depends on how busy they are and they have not been that busy. Send them one and see how it goes. That would be my advice.

I have a Standard Horizon hand held VHF radio that needed a discontinued battery. I sent it to NiCad lady or something along those lines, and it came back quickly, working and with a good price paid. Rebuilt. I would recommend them, and I will go back if I need to. Dug http://www.nicdladyonline.com/

Dug

Its been a tough couple of weeks on the water then! Wow, a guy hanging onto the bouy? Holy smokes! He's lucky he got that much attention. Over labor day weekend there was a sailboat race that is annual and goes around Fishers Island. This year we were supposed to have a hurricane on Friday of that w...

Dug

I love it when experience gives me the ability to answer a question! Its like a full circle! My friend, you have a pin hole in one of your oil coolers. Change it out now before you have a bigger hole. Oil sheen in the exhaust is a given that there is where the problem lies. Per my experience anyway....

Dug

Thanks for the great pictures!!!!

Don't be a stranger!

Dug

That mate series rod holder is the coolest thing I have ever seen. Or one of the top items for sure!

Cool!!! Thanks for sharing!

Dug

I like Trex very much, but will tell you that it is ###### slippery when wet. I came very close to falling off the roof when the ladder slipped out from under me when cleaning gutters this spring. I was lucky that the ladder had a hook on it that happened to catch on the gutter or I would have been ...

Dug

She does look like she is living the life!!!! As are you! Enjoy!

Dug

I know it is a bit heretical in this thread, but to be honest, I know Formula builds a heck of a boat. The fit and finish is top shelf, the gelcoat is beautiful, and all the fittings are good stainless steel. Where many builders of the same ilk use extruded aluminum, Formula uses stainless. Just loo...

Dug

Hueso! Glad all is well. Lets hope all are as lucky up the coast a bit!

Dug

I like the idea of the integrated flywheel generator!

Dug

Release Marine are awesome, and they often have seconds or reconditioned chairs.

I fabricated my own with a tower fabricator and like it very much. Good sized bench, on a box with storage, and the ability to walk around the bench on our oh, so oversized flybridge.

Dug

And Mike, I venture to say it was far more than 1000 gallons. I think we burned 500-600 on the ride home alone. But it only took 2.5 hours!

Dug

Sam was a very gracious host. A wonderful guy. I was fortunate to be a guest! His crew was also awesome!

Yes, 2 tuna and a pile of mahi!

It was amazing. And no tv was watched. There were two many whales and rays and other wildlife out there. It was incredible as an aquarium!

D

Dug

Yes. The boat was there longer than I. She served as a worthy taxi! I had the great fortune to be a guest of Sam Gershowitz on his new 95' Jim Smith named Marlena. This was arranged by another great friend of mine named Dean Travis Clarke who was there to write an article on that amazing piece of ma...

Dug

Oh hell yes! That would be the perfect thing to do with that! Way too important to throw it away or leave it on a shelf.

What a seriously great idea!

Dug

Marlin,

Get together with John Brownlee. He is a member here, and lives in the keys. He has tried to get this together for a couple years.

Might help,

Dug

Dug

Terrific shots!!! Thanks for sharing!

Dug

Thank you to all who spent time this year organizing and working to make this gathering a success. It was a lot of fun, a great venue, and above all, it was just spectacular to see everyone. Liz and I had a leisurely ride home, unloaded the boat, I washed her (the boat that is!) down (she needed it ...

Dug

Bob, Veatch is a mild haul across country for me from Mystic, but them fishes are beautiful!!! Did you catch them on the overnight dropping jigs, trolling or bait? Did I read this right it was jigging? Sweet eats!!! Nice!

Dug

Thanks... I needed that!

Dug

Seems to have been an especially tragic weekend all around... So very sorry to hear about his passing. I lost a good friend on Saturday morning in a car accident. She was 23 years old, beautiful, fun, and just getting started out in life headed in the right direction with things just beginning to co...

Dug

Way, way too heavy. Bendy. Not a great application.

Dug

Shooting to be there with 2. Thanks!

Dug

Dug

Hey Brew! Once again you prove, you da man! Looks like I am going to have to rest up that week so I can enjoy what Greenport fully has to offer! Liz and I went over on Sunday pm, and it looks like a great joint! You got two for dinner as far as Alchemy is concerned! Now, as for the biggest gathering...

Dug

Never a good thing. My condolences to your family and feel free to ask any questions you may have Tia. Very sorry for your loss. Your dad was a thoughtfull innovative guy who clearly had love for his passions.

Dug

Dug

Once again...wow.

Dug

Good to know. More intended for a boat approach, as I want to know where I am going come rendezvous time. I always try to get off the dock at a reasonable hour, but it never happens for many reasons... that being said, I don't need to get into downtown per se. Would love to say hi, then maybe have a...

Dug

Having never been to Greenport before, I may take a ride over there this coming weekend just to explore and know where the heck I'm going come August.

Anyone going to be in the area?

D

Dug

Brew,

Kinda mildly messed up.

check written today. To be mailed by Monday at latest. (Mailing machine may be down until then...)

If I can get it out today, I will for sure!

Thanks!!!!! See you in Greenport!!!!!

Dug

Dug

I know the units, they are awesome!

I'm definately interested. I'll send you a note.

Thanks!

Dug

Dug

Bob,

You have the 'ducer as well?
