Tony,

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Marine Metal Fabricators of RI. Captain Rick Weller and his wife do gods work in aluminum.

You will hear about J&J, but they have been expensive, and won't give you anywhere near the service and interaction that Rick will. He is great.

Tell him I sent ya.

Harry, up here in NE, I need a permit in each state...I think. I know it is true in CT and NY. My MA permit ain't worth the plastic it is made of out of state. And if I want to buy out of state, the gun has to be sent to a dealer in MA to be transferred to me.

Not always easy...

Dug

Joe, No worries. It can be done. But it takes a bit of doin'!

Dug

Like Harry, I too have been reading, thinking and have waited to post. Our house is out in the woods, and while the Boylston Police are great and responsive, we learned on December 12 that we really are out here all alone when the ice storm hit and we were without power for 4 days, which was not bad...

Dug

I think someone is screwing with us. Seems this question comes up periodically.

Someone knows, and they just like to work everyone up...

Argh.

Dug

Steve, Thanks for the info! I am actually looking to keep bow down a smidge in a head sea. I know, I can slow down, and often do. I have less of a problem with side to side weight distribution. Once again, I am glad I asked the question, and don't have any prejudice against Bennetts. In fact I know ...

Dug

Excellent point about the fairing block.

I am thinking Starboard... though I know that 5200 doesn't adhere to that.

Hmmm....

Maybe apply the sealant, mount it all up, and then do a final tighten after cure?

Dug

Dug

Hi all, I have been thinking of adding tabs to Alchemy. I know the Bennetts are excellent, and have watched rave reviews for quite some time. Volvo Penta came out with a different approach called the QL tab fairly recently however, and I like that it doesn't stick out off the transome like an airpla...

Charlie,

Thank the good lord they were only bruised and battered.

I shudder to think of the alternative. I am very happy they are going to be ok. Wow...

Big hugs when they get home I suspect, deservedly so!!!

Sim,

Notice how quiet I am on that topic...

The price of fuel is likely to remain lower than it has in a couple of years. That being said, it is time to move from Montauk. Oak Bluffs was a great location, and different. Liz and I really enjoyed exploring a new area to which we had never been. If we are intent on a spot on Long Island, how abo...

See Vic, I can keep my mouth shut! Ya'll take note! My best wishes to all for a happy, save, productive and fun new year. Vic, I am happy as hell you are on the mend. My trust has been that you would be, and have been. My sincerest wishes of friendship to you, the bride, family and to all I know her...

Right back at ya Patrick. And to all others here as well!!!! Merry Christmas! And a wonderful new year! Though I know I will be back before then!

JK,

My thoughts are with you. Dads sure are special. No doubt about it. Treasure his memories, and be proud he was yours.

You guys are killing me! I love it!

I think AZAK may be really similar to Kallite, made by Kal Wall corporation in NH. It is the dimpled fiberglass panelling you see at HD etc. It comes in various sizes and thicknesses, and is very workable, paintable, sandable, etc. That is what I used and my only regret is that I didn't go thicker. ...

Dug

They are excellent engines. Particularly for the Bertram 31. I have them in my boat. They run. They are quiet, smooth, no smoke. 4 years and only one real issue, I blew an injector line. I would not call that an engine issue, as I am pretty confident that Yanmar would not be the place that makes the...

Dug

Walter, no more excuses. You can't get lost anymore...

Dug

Wayne,

What is your "real" email, I want to get you her resume.

Mickey, same question.

Thanks a ton guys!!!

Dug

Awesome! On both the fish, and the willingness.

I think you will see that regardless of the job market, she might just take you up on a fishing trip!!!!

I installed teak slatting.

Pretty...

Hi all, I have a friend who has recently moved to Southern California (San Diego specifically!). She is a very accomplished young lady, having graduated from Penn, and having just won a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics in the Womens 8 for the United States. She is looking for a job in the financia...

Dug

So, AMEX gift cards are the solution!

They can be used anywhere, and unless American Express disappears, you are good. And they won't as they are now backed by the government of the good old USA as a newly converted bank holding company.

Good advice however Harv!

Dug

Dug

I absolutly concur about starting over. Forget the original diagram. Run the new, tinned wire to where you need to. Forget the copper pricing anyway, it has completely tanked, and you don't get much for wire anyway. Unless you are homeless or a drug addict, and then it is apparently worth your while...

Dug

I agree.

And we have the good fortune of having the Worcester Parade march right under my window and in front of our offices in about 20 minutes.

Proud to be an American, and I am grateful for the efforts and sacrifices of our living and past veterans!

Thanks!

I have found many, many uses for mine...

Buju,

I was thinking a Fein multitool with the scraper to get under it and peel it off.

Are you familiar with the gizmo?

Dug

Either Bartlett reef to the east, or off black point to the west. Both have been productive. When I have fished with friends, it has been off the point.

Dug

Walter, I am not an expert, but I have a couple friends who do pretty well. 1) Just west of Seaflower reef there is a shallow spot you can see on the chart. there will be boats there, but that is a good sign. 2) Inside the island there are a series of rocky piles, check the chart... 3) Backside (you...

Steve,

Remind me of the super recipe that you have described about a half a dozen times but apparently all at times that I am unable to commit it to memoryâ€¦ the one with the maple syrup and sesame seeds?

Thanks!!!!

I have a Raymarine E120 with the Sirius.

As you saw, it can be pretty slick.

Did you fish?

Boat's on the hard and winterized. It would be a short ride...

Tommy, I was finally successful at finding a copy of this blasted magazine in the central MA area. Believe it or not I went to Barnes and Noble, Waldenbooks, CVS, Walmart, and Target before I finally found two copies at Borders. No one carries that magazine here... Too bad I say. What a great articl...

I used bilgekote and it worked beyond my expectations, and they were high. I had gelcoated, but it was not a gloss finish, and was susceptible to staining etc. very easily. It was a pain in the butt with the wax additive etc. and stunk to high heaven on application. Make sure your substrate is clean...

Dug

Tim,

I am so sorry for your family, you and your boat. Wow is all I can say.

Dug

Dug

Bruce,

This is for zincs, parts, filters, etc I am guessing?

Thanks for the heads up! I just bought all filters etc. about 3 weeks ago. Phew!

They sold me the secondary fuel filters, and I think I know where they go, but I will be damned if I can figure out how to take them apart!

Dug

Dug

I believe they are the same for the 28. One is spoken for. They are $350. It is not a serious project. It is held in place with three bolts. A bit of 4200 and you are off to the races. I have one left. If you are serious send me an email, and I will answer with the address to send the check to. Than...

Dug

Rawleigh,

I answered you via email.

Dug

Good morning all! Up here in NE, my boat is out, the leaves are falling, and the temperature is dropping. Looks like winter is on her way, and I am beginning to line up the small winter projects that will hopefully keep me busy this winter. Before I do that I wanted to offer up the last two bow choc...

Dug

Luis!

I tried that once, and had coffee everywhere. Your stove must be in the perfect position! Like a ball in a lacrosse stick, being cradled!

Dug

Dug

Damn Brew, glad we weren't out in that. Running with the waves ripped one of my docking lights out, but that was the extent of it.

What a ride it must have been for you! Sorry you didn't come home with anything to show for the effort, but you always have the story!

Dug

Dug

Boat looks beautiful. Damn!

Dug

Cool! Nice Ocean. Yes, Steve and Elliot were conversing regularly. Too fun.

I heard the ex-wife comment. Was that you perchance?

Dug

Sorry for the delay in posting. In my haste to get home on Sunday night, I forgot my briefcase and computer at my parents house. This is my first opportunity to get there. Bob! What were you on? It was a great day, wasn't it! We did well as well, but one of the high points of the trip of course was ...

JP! Awesome!!! I used to have one of those... like a Simon game too.

Wow... memories!

Looks like we will be giving it a go this weekend. Heading to the east of the tails between there and West Atlantis. Good break there! Hope for the weather to hold now...

It has been a slow summer for fish south of Long Island as far as I know. The weekend of the Montauk rendezvous was a good burst, and it seemed to tail off. Alchemy is due to come out of the water in two weeks, and I am having a hard time with the fact that we have only been out once due to lack of ...
