I have a Remington 40X single shot 223 that is a pleasure to shoot….although there is one with a 5 shot magazine that is more convenient for doing a lot of shooting.

That is almost as good as calling the Police, DOT and 311 if you have a strange car sitting in front of your driveway for a day...even a business driveway. Still waiting on them to show up after a couple years...nice to have a forklift. I had one of those. It had been smashed and burned. Couldn't g...

Where ever he is, he's driving something that is powered by an International 444......(Ford 7.3).

Looks about 1973 with those headlights.

Isn't that the way it works in the world?

If only the '99%' could figure that out.

Nice picture on the other thread, Jimmy. Here's one that was taken at midnight on 10-23-14. My red hulled 31 is in it (though tough to pick out)…

Jimmy,

Can you see anything when you sit in the helm chair?

And have you (or anyone) found a microphone clip that will actually hold the mic when conditions get a bit sporty?

mike ohlstein

That's the one that I use. Flush mount, very clean looking.

Cruise @ 3100 rpm forever, as long as you can wind them up to 3450 or so…..

Other than the Port Washington Police boat, the only B31 that I know of over there is Bat Factor at LaMotta's.

When a couple of mine showed signs of weakness, I sistered them all with 5/4" mahogany.

Hard to believe it's the same boat.

Nice.... I've been watching this page for a few years. http://www.prevost-stuff.com/used_coaches.htm Something in a 90's vintage seems to be priced about right. I've gone to see a few, but so many are decorated like bad 70's discos or houses if ill repute...... Occasionally I see one with nice woode...

This has never happen before and it's not gelcoat bubbles is reaped as a result of being forced in, the improper way it was handled/installed.

Knowing that there are several former racers on the board, and at least one each from cars, motorcycles, and offshore powerboats, (with myself being the two wheeler) I'm fairly confident that there are at least two observations which can be made without making any assumptions. 1. If you're going to ...

There was a Dr. Jordan who had Cats in his B31. We saw the boat at the UVI 1 or 2. They were shoehorned in there pretty tight.

mike ohlstein

You could be right..... I might have the wrong engine.

mike ohlstein

I recall that there were loads of problems with the early ones. Blocks cracking, I think. Something about some of the blocks being cast in France, and wanting to surrender......

mike ohlstein

Some say that the boat will be harder to maneuver at slow speed and very difficult on one engine. Others say that the boat may ride with the nose slightly down at cruse. I don't know about, but I can't imagine that your wake pattern is going to be exactly the same as it used to be at 1100 rpm. If yo...

Tired? No.

Can you pick me up at the airport?

A test plug would be even easier...

Drill a hole just larger than the OD of 2" or 4" PVC. Bed a small piece in. Use a test plug when you want it closed.

Pat Panetta ran 1:1 and 50 mph.

mike ohlstein

I think that the prop size is right but the gears are too tall. When you say 1:52 I assume you mean 2:1.52

Don't most of the gas boats use 2:1 gears?

I saw that data sheet....but wasnt exactly sure which size motor I should use. I know the single outboard will be much lighter, but how much lighter im not sure. Thanks guys! You won't be 'much' lighter. A Yamaha 225 four stroke is 608 lbs dry. That's about the same as a 350 Chevy with transmission...

mike ohlstein

Looking great!!

mike ohlstein

4000 to 6000 pounds depending on the model? Flybridge toward the upper and Moppie toward the lower, I would guess.

Get a trailer with brakes that work well.

Never go faster than you can see. That's the bottom line.

mike ohlstein

They sue because they can. They sue because they win any way it goes. The insurance companies and the State will settle for some amount less than it will cost to defend themselves from a frivolous lawsuit. We need some tort reform in this country, and we need it badly. If there was some financial ri...

When it's five to seven feet every seven seconds and blowing 22 knots, and you need to tie or untie a line to a lobster pot on the 100 fathom curve, in the dark and the rain, you'll be whimpering like a little girl about how you always liked that bow rail......
