I like that little 20'! I'm considering selling my 15' whaler and moving to that!

Hmmm...

Dug

Thats what I used years ago!

Dug

Damn Gert. Damn. Wow. So beautiful!

Dug

Thanks Longfin!!!

Dug

Tony, I say this will full humor intended.

Life as I know it has already ended!!!!

The past few years have been rich in change. It has been a constant adaptation process.

Control is an illusion, its more like managing chaos!

:)

Dug

Thanks guys. Its already shaping up to be a heck of a year. Boat is getting a do-over and this too. Busy busy!

Dug

Truth is I don't know if I will be able to make it regardless of location, as I am going to be a Dad in early June. :)

Dug

Hi guys! there are multiple ferries all day long both traditional and high speed to block out of Montauk, Pt. Judith and New London. Land access should not be an issue. And there is air service out of Westerly airport that is like $45 round trip and its a 15 min flight. That option rocks! Star Islan...

Dug

How is the fishing on the west side of Maui during the second half of March? Any boat recommendations?

Thanks,

Dug

Dug

I do know that you likely do not want the fill inside the hull because if it were to overflow, it will go into the boat. If it is on the gunwale, which would be my preference, if and when it does overflow in any way, it goes over the side therefore minimizing any fire hazard. I know, I know its a fu...

For those of you who don't know about this. I am awestruck that someone would do this. This cat is owned by a couple of our own, Mitch and Kristen Mills of MOJO.

Mike,

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Dug

Ad's gone. Must have offended someone...

D

Dug

I sure have tried! But that being said, what matters is helping out!

I will sure as heck donate.

Patrick has never failed to answer the phone, call back or help out in any way with whatever he can. He has NEVER FAILED.

Its the least I can do!

Dug

I'm going to share this with my guys too.

Dug

Actually, funny grinder story. To me anyway... My dad has a boat trailer that has not always been well taken care of. We needed to change center rollers and to do so we needed to remove the bolts that were well stuck. I finally asked him to get out of the way, marched into the garage, grabbed my gri...

Dug

Ah ha! Gotcha Patrick. I have one of those, and have used it to perform miracles. This may be yet another rabbit out of the hat trick!

DJ, Yeah. I can only imagine!!!!!! Having done many boat bottoms and my own actually multiple times, sanding over head just sucks.

:)

Dug

Dug

Like a Fein multitool?

Dug

Hi all, for those who have removed the aluminum trim from the flybridge, then faired it and painted. How did you get rid of the rivets? Did you drill them out? I am finding they spin. So I am contemplating cutting them off, grinding flush then smashing them into the edge with a hammer and punch then...

Dug

Jamie!

Glad to hear the rail is working for you!

If you want the windows, come on up!

Its got your name on it!

Dug

Dug

Bill,

My buddy has a house there. Says its completely fished out. Don't bother.
Maybe tarpon fishing, but thats about it.

I hope i am wrong...

Dug

Dug

Its in Newport, RI.

Dug

Corey,

I have a friend Skip who is selling/brokering a nice one in the mid teens. Its fighting lady yellow, and has twin outdrives. Nice boat.

Want me to investigate further?

Dug

Dug

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. I honestly am thinking of access hatches at the very least. Speakers might be worthwhile, but I have them close to that location now.

Dead rodent removal is a good option to have always.

Over 300 holes to grind, glass and fair. Its a doozy!

Dug

Dug

JP, Cool. Only one question. The steps I have have 5 attachement points. 3 can be accessed from the outside, but the two that bear the most weight, the top two under the step, are threaded into the step from the inside. Did you find this to be the case? If so, I may have to do the speaker route, or ...

Dug

I am going to go forward with glassing in the wire chases/flybridge pilasters. That being said I have stumbled on a question. From those who have done this... How did you do the glassing, paint and then attach the chromed wing steps. They attach with nuts and washers on the inside, and its simple an...

Dug

Hi Ron,

Currently in Worcester, MA.

I'll try to ring you later today.

Dug

Dug

Skip has removed the aluminum windshield frames, glass, curved windows, etc. as well as the side windows from Alchemy.

Would anyone have a use for them? Otherwise headed for the scrap bin...

Dug

Dug

John, Skip will be glassing in the main centerline hole on mine fairly soon. We have no plans to do the outboard ones.

Dug

Dug

Neil,

Speaking of pictures, I got a bunch of you down at the Hudson this summer. I need your address and I will send them to you on a stick.

Hope you and the fam are well!

Dug

Dug

Wow. Well, I hope she is treated like royalty!

She is a good boat, and I echo what Tony said.

I tried very, very hard to get a friend to buy her. No such luck. I know he missed out...

Be that as it may...

I have to share as I kinda wish someone had for me. Its worth a read. If you are in your 40's you may shake your head. If you are older than your 40's you may chuckle.

Last time I was at Lauderdale, I think 2 years ago, they had a good display. Don Jones said most of the business was from international clientelle. Not domestic. Kind of hard to swallow, though given the challenges that Bertram has faced, and the market does face, though I don't like it, I understan...

Dug

Tommy, Yannis has a good point. Rent for a ride if you can. I would have voted for the Yukon myself right out of the gate, and may see one in my future reasonably soon. That being said, any thoughts of foreign makes? Another Land Cruiser? Any of the Lexus? Maybe a Merc as Top Gear would say? Or the ...

Dug

I suspect they are in the thick of it right now. Good luck guys. Let us know if we can help.

Dug

Dug

Tom,

Payback is a bitch... ;)

Rich is a relative term. Even UV knew that!

D

Dug

Thank you my friend.

Dug

Dang... I think it is now 325-248-0809. My bad. So Patrick, I think Skip will be giving you a ring soon. :)

Thank you!!!!!!

Dug

Hi Pat, Skip tried to get a hold of you today. He was using 561-848-3366. Does this number still work?

Dug

Good luck buddy! I hope it goes great!

Seems this is a big day for many! My girlfriends brother and sister in law are having a baby today. Good vibes!

D

Dug

I'm not gonna argue with JP, all I know is that something to keep the lines from creeping is very helpful. Halocks work great for me, and the price to stop it was insignificant in the picture of the whole damned boat. Just sayin'. But again, and seriously, doesn't matter what the method, something t...

Dug

Yes!!!! I like it!!!!!! Thanks guys!!!!

Dug

Thats essentially what I am thinking Tom. Cool.

Dug

Good Luck! My mom did both and while they are not perfect, they are better than what she was living with. That being said, my buddy Mike had his done and is going in again in December for his 2nd. It loosened up. Hospital of Special Surgery, in NYC. So even the best have their days. But I wish you l...

Dug

What has the consensus been on filling the limber holes in the firewall between the cabin and cockpit? I have thought about this due to the fact that bilge water comes up into the cabin from there, and so there is ever present moisture... With changes I am making elsewhere there will be very limited...

Dug

I like the idea of neon green, but mine are rigged with what looks like nylon line. Must be the Rupp stuff. Came installed that way, and they have not needed changing yet.

I love the outrigger locks too. They keep the baits from creeping back towards the boat!

Dug

She is pretty. Wow.

Dug

Damn Marlin, now that's a boat. Holy hell she's a boat!!!

Beautiful.

Dug

That boat is an epic piece. She is fast, and gorgeous. Whoever buys her will be very lucky.

Out of my price range... unfortunatly.

But what a boat. I always loved seeing her fly out of the river.

Dug

Bingo. The second you stop listening to your customers, you are done. The yard I was in for years rarely listened to customers. During the past couple years, for many reasons, it has intensified. Now, when you walk in, they are pretty empty, slips are vacant, vendors are owed big $$$. And I mean BIG...
