Bruce, No, my exhaust does not sit below water consistently. And there is a good amount of down angle. It has been checked out by my dealer and for whatever its worth the install was approved originally by Mack Boring. I have a good run from the entrance to the harbor to my slip, so she always idles...

Dug

Some may remember I had to replace my starboard turbo last year. This year the Port turbo went, same reason, same failure mode. Evidence points to water ingestion from the outflow side. Mack Boring is indecisive and not very consistently communicative as of now, and my goal is to determine cause to ...

Hueso,

Yep, you are.

One of my best friends is the 4th in line to carry his name. Hence he is Brooke Tyler IV.

His boat is named "IV PLAY"

:)

We make his wife make the marina reservations.

Then there was the boat he wanted to name for a friend. "MILF" which translated to Man I Love Fishing!!!!!

Russ, I am right there with Pat. Teak and I have a long history. Tip Top is my primary go to product. Its followed second by Interlux now which I discovered when Tip Top closed up for a bit. I find that with a wash of normal soap and water every time I use the boat I may want to re-coat once a month...

Dug

I may or may not make it actually... Amazing... I am doing a tournament out on Block during the week. I may be able to get out for dinner. Brew, I will let you know, but it may be shorter notice than I'd like...

Dug

Pat, I think they disintegrated more because of the screw driver I used to push them out. :)

Dug

Might just buy stainless screen from McMaster Carr and cut it to the right size...

Good call Pat.

Thanks,

Dug

Hi all, I installed external strainers when I repowered a few years ago, and they have worked great. I removed the screens to clean them this spring, and they disintegrated. They are bronze. Apparently there has been a run on these damned things, because Hamilton and Jamestown are both back ordered....

Dug

Gert, I adore teak. I love the contrast, the warmth, and the look. I have waffled on covering boards, and may at some point. But I like teak I can oil, not varnish. Varnishing teak is just so much work long term. I suppose if its a business expense like it may be for you, it might be a good move as ...

Dug

Hi all, I have been talking with Tom Oakes about a few things, and he has told me that he/Holtz Boatworks has a dashboard mold. It accomodates much of what I would like to change on Alchemy's dash. Anyone who has put it on thier boat, I would love your thoughts. Specifically: 1) what electronics hav...

Dug

Beautiful Boat David!!!!!!!!

Dug

Release marine is a great company run by really fantastic people. Beautiful seats!!!

Dug

The most dangerous gas can is an empty one...

Dug

Wow. Thats all I can say. Wow.

Dug

Robbie, I was blanking on your screen name. I think I'll be in touch soon. Swamped.

Thanks,

Dug

Dug

Looking for Rob at Raybo. Could you pm me please?

Thanks!

Dug

Dug

Oh, gee, thanks Mikey. LOL!

That being said, give to Pat.

Yo Fren,

Dug

Dug

I've had dripless in Alchemy for 13 years? Perfect. Yes, I changed the rubber boots a couple years ago, and you have to do that every few years. But otherwise they are great!!!! I might not change for the sake of changing, but if you are doing ANY shaft work, I would not hesitate making the change. ...

Dug

Not yet... I need an angled one, not a flat one...

I may end up making it myself. LOL!

Dug

Ok, thats hilarious!!!!

Dug

While I know I will Never, Ever replace UV, it was usually he who kicked off fundraisers here. And it is clearly time. Its been a while. Its been a heck of a year. And Patrick is still up to his good quality hijinks. Supporting us all, and humoring us when necessary. In fact, I just got off the phon...

Dug

Tom, you are too much! LOL! Ed, I thought about the sink drain area. Its just that its below the chine on my boat. I don't really want to run the hose back from the unit too far, but I think it makes sense so its in a place I can access, and see it run out of the boat easily. I don't really want to ...

Dug

Captain Dean, You are one of the people I treasure here. You and your bride are some of the good people of the world. I appreciate your friendship very much and have enjoyed your sense of humor a great deal. Now, just because you sell your boat, does not mean you leave our community. Do you understa...

Dug

I am installing the through hulls myself. Not the first time I have done this stuff. Here is what is being proposed so far. Install the ac unit itself in the cabinetry behind the refrigerator. This makes sense to me. Per Captain Patrick, the intake will be between the engines, as close to the center...

Dug

That makes total sense to me. Although I don't currently have a genset, and as such, I don't plan to run it when when off a dock and shore power, I have learned never say never, so better to build it for the future instead of the right now. Then comes the fun of running the hose... Oh well, thats wh...

Dug

Tom, I already have the hot tub. I just take my 320 quart cooler, line it with black plastic, fill it with water, and in a couple hours in the summer sun, a full on bathtub in the cockpit. Way ahead of you boy. And, best part, the cooler doubles as a place to put the fish when I catch them too!!!! :)

Dug

Awesome. I was hoping you would say that! He wants to locate the AC unit behind the fridge. I like that idea. where would you locate the intake? In the boat in front of the fridge, on the centerline, or further aft? Like between the water tank and the bulkhead? Or even further aft than that? Hmmm.. ...

Dug

Pat,

How would you think those would work for AC? My installer really wants me to use an internal bucket type, like the ones I took out of the Bert to put on these type of external strainers.

Hmmm...

Hope you are well my friend!

Dug

Dug

Anyone have a source for Starboard louvers for AC? the installer wants to use a 45 degree one on the outlet he is going to put up under the front window. I offered to make my own, but before I do that, I want to know if there are any pre-made options. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Dug

Dug

Mikey! Holy crap!!!

I had a coon come snacking on Alchemy one time. Thankfully he came and went.

Not a fun surprise Tommy!!!! Probably about had to change your shorts!!!

Dug

Dug

Perfect my friend. It is looking like if I go ahead, I will be using a different installer than the fellow you and Pat talked with this past summer. He came to the rendezvous, and I have not heard from him since. Ya, just what I want to do. Chase for a quote. Are you serious? What about the work? Wh...

Dug

Yachtcontroller is a cool gizmo. My friend Bill is a dealer. I can hook you up.

Dug

Dug

Bob, Would you send me more of the installation shots? Please? :)

Dug

Good Call Bob,

And Bob, I will if I get to that point.

Dug

Good Call Bob,

And Bob, I will if I get to that point.

Dug

Damn thats pretty!!!!

Dug

Hi Bob,

We shall see. I will known in a couple weeks if I can swing it.

If so, next winter should be interesting...

Dug

Dug

Hi all, If the planets align, chips fall in the right order, etc, I will be having the windshield replaced this coming winter. I plan to use the Holmsey insert. If anyone else in the northeast is thinking of doing this, we might be able to save a buck by crating and shipping together. Just wanted to...

Dug

Buddy, it sure was good to see those pictures! Brought back a couple memories!!!! I've gotta get back down there soon. Nothing but good times there!!!! Hope you and the family are well!!!!!

Dug

Dug

Wow. That is all. Ok, beautiful!!!!!!!!

Spectacular!!!!!

Now enjoy it!!!!!

Dug

Dug

Russ, I feel for you on the personal stuff. 2012 was one whopper of a year here as well...

Not fun. Certainly had bursts, but not overall. Good luck, and if you ever need an ear, bend mine...

Dug

Dug

If they don't, ask if they can keep an eye out for them. They get trade ins reasonably regularly. They are great people. Truly.

Dug

Mike is spot on. In fact, my greatest fear for of glassing in the front windshield is that when, not if, my fridge dies, I will not be able to get another in. But I guess at that point it will be cooler centric situation. I use my fridge all summer long... But yes, it goes in and out the windshield....

Dug

Call Release Marine and ask if they have any remanufactured chairs. They make beautiful stuff!!!

Dug

Oh my god Bob. That is amazing work. From one teak fan to another, I bow to you...

Dug

Dug

Or, more correctly, that it is that difficult... Oops!

Dug

Its pretty hard for me to do the Greenport rendezvous as I am not on the island. Anyone want to step up? I am not sure that it needs to be that difficult...

Dug

Dug

Take a look at this.

I can hook you up.

Good stuff.

Great to read the memories. That was what was going through my mind. I first met UV in Lauderdale, like many of us. that was an entertaining time. Yep, how Timmy got his Thuddddd moniker. Then UV and his Bride came to the Montauk Rendezvous in 2003. Wow... 10 years ago... never did I see him without...
