Watch it brother. Last time I read that notice on my shooters board, the board was out for 5 days and when it came back the last 6 months of data got corrupted and had to be deleted.

Computer gremlins are everywhere.

I spent a bunch of time driving back and forth to his shop and working in it while Zero Cavity was being done. While certainly not the greatest of locations, I could have said that about my marinas being in Riviera Beach. I don't speak fluent Spanish but enough to get the gist of what people are tal...

Bruce

Never went. Mike called to say his guy over there didn't seem happy with another male dog pissing in his yard so to speak.
I did a 3 way conference call and gave the guy some tips without injuring his ego and called it a day.

I'm hanging out a new shingle, Therapist.

Russ, We've chartered a few flats boats in years past and most local to the area will pick you up on Cheeca's dock. They also have a snorkel boat that gets booked quick. If your interested i'd inquire before you go down for reservation. Last year we waited till we got down and it was booked solid fr...

Not sure if this is the same company that made your knee implants, but Stryker Corp just got hit with over a billion dollar settlement on hip replacements that dissolved.

Cheeca lodge is nice. Been staying there every Feb for a week for years. I like the beach bungalows more than the main building rooms. Lots of activities. Stayed at a bunch of resorts along the keys including one in Duck Key that was the talk. It was nasty. Cheeca is the only one that has lived up t...

CABO is gone, Bertram is gone, Sea Ray and Bayliner live on. Go figure. Everyone can afford a Hyundai and Kia, not everyone can afford a Cadillac. And when that caddy turns out to be a POS with a caddy costume on, your discerning buyers will go elsewhere. Mass market appeal to low informational hum...

Nothing you wouldn't do to any other engine to prepare for winter.

The Escalades are comfy and the new ones finally are able to fold under the floor in the rear instead of taking out for cargo space.
My Ford leather truck seats are really comfortable with the adjustable lumbar support.

Harry, "How bad can the head smell compared to the bait" be? Consider this, a flying cigar tube built for 16 flying 12 plus two pilots and an attendant on a 9 hour non stop flight where the circulating head was pretty much full the first 3 hours. At that point the cigar tube became a flying Winnebag...

Did a google on the weather system, and nothing came up. Post a link or a reference so we can check on the issue.

Door skin and hot glue gun.

Michael,
Glad your okay and the boats came thru it. How's the power situation?

Might I suggest one of these for your next trip...............

I have never swallowed so many pills or had so many holes poked in me before.

Just like serving a 10 year stretch in the big house.

If you want better living through pharmacology, have them take you off those piss in the wind pain killers and tell them you want Dilaudid HP injections.

No more dirty hands for me. I tracked down the person who does contract work for the Clintons.

I have a funny feeling that an up surge in suicides will be forth coming.

Bruce

Have your people contact my people and we'll arrange something. Wait. I don't have people anymore. Just pm me is okay. Here is a link to MASE North America in Lauderdale they may be able to help for parts directly or give you info on who to contact. Like I said, not much a dealer network anymore. ht...

All that accent that scrubbed off in Florida is gonna come back. Next time I see ya, I won't be able to understand a damn thing your sayin.

Was a Mase dealer. Not really much of a Mase dealer network anymore like there was. Sold a ton of em till the jackasses hiked their prices to where they weren't competitive anymore.

3116 were the problem child.

The 350hp 3126 is a pretty decent engine other than the injector sleeves. Run the serial by a cat dealer to have them check for issues.

Bruce

There are a few. Katadyn comes to mind at the top of reliability but there are others. The problem with desalination machines is they require high pressure to force the water thru the very fine screens/membranes to separate the minerals(salt) from the water. 12vdc pumps can't deliver this pressure a...

Bruce

Frank, We'll excuse you because we know you.....but a sailboat of any size almost qualifies on equal ground as that blow up bounce ball. You brought a smile back for me. I used to do a bunch of sail boats because of the Yanmar and Universal dealerships. I'd get calls that the engine wouldn't start. ...

Bruce

When almost all marine inboard engines shut down, unlike a manual transmission car there is no drag on the engine. The engine drives the tranny oil pump and as soon as the engine quits the plates in the gear relax and it free wheels. So there is no load to lug it. (that is unless someone blows up a ...

and worried about being taken advantage of again.

Just post as clearly as possible your mechanics suggestions and we will help you determine the best course of action and whether or not to ask further questions.

Bruce

Carl, Not doing the maintenance or doing it wrong can always lead to disaster. When machinery becomes more technical and surpasses the gas goes in here, spark goes in there which makes the propeller turn, most wrenches get left behind. I won't even go into computer controlled and programming systems...

Bruce

I've been following the other thread and rather than redirect the thread I'll post this. As most know I was a Yanmar dealer among other engine companies since the 80's. I saw some of the first 6LP's that came out and put a set in the 32 Luhrs open that I wrote an article on here many moons ago. I sa...

Don't mix fuel injection with carb. Go with a long block assembly to save money and reuse the rest of parts.

Keep it simple.

There are no words for this one except he has sponsors.

Don't believe a word of this conservative propaganda. The economy has been fixed, good paying jobs created and the health care implosion stopped.

Boats are flying off the shelves.

Or is that monkeys flying out of my ass.

I get the two mixed up.

Bruce

John,
That's nicer work than what I saw come out of many yards and shops.

Bruce

Am I wrong in thinking that the radar arch/wing structure is just a bit industrial looking and that interior bright work belongs on an old classic Rybo and not a 28?
To each his own I guess.

Bruce

You would be surprised at the number of under the influence drivers and crew in auto racing. NASCAR's random drug test has caught drivers and crew in all 3 top series. The most famous being Jeremy Mayfield(meth) in the cup series and Aaron Fike in the truck series who the later admitted to shooting ...

Two months before they were hit, my brothers company just signed on to finance the leasing rights of the towers for Larry Silverstein to the port authorities of NY and NJ. Had he not insisted on terrorism insurance coverage(unheard of at the time) for the loan, he would have been left holding the ba...

Just add Cabo to the long list of places who's residents and officials didn't seem to take the threat of a hurricane seriously.......until one hit.

Pete,
I'm over in Italy right now. I emailed Michael before I left last week and let him know when I will be back and would get in touch with him then.

Bruce

Kevin, Other than working with diesels, I never got into gas turbo stuff. I saw it becoming more and more common at the track especially in pro mods. It can produce some good power especially with nitrous injection. Looks awesome. Once the serpentine belt and polished pulley kits come in along with ...

Bruce

John, Be a bit before I have audio on the new build but heres a clip of the funny car after the KB engine was changed from a nitro to alkyl and put into the FC chassis. Motor was in a dragster when we picked it up west of Ft Worth Texas. FC roller came from SC. Turn up the volume. http://i279.photob...

Bob,
The day we stop learning new things is the day we jump in the hole and have the backhoe dump dirt on us.

This summer I've been learning to free dive. Made it to 50' at the outer wall of the Lake Worth inlet channel at the red marker. Hope to make 75' by Dec.

Bruce

Bob, If I was going all out racing or what I consider an all out performance car, I'd be going a whole nuther direction. I was fortunate a couple years back to help put together a 76' Ken Veney Vega funny car with a Keith Black blown Alky motor and travel and run it. That time quelled my long desire...

Bruce

John, Exterior parts are polished Edelbrock torquer intake, ported and polished to match the head work of porting, polishing, cc'ing the chambers. I went thru 6 dremels. Edlebrock carb. MSD ignition. Most of the interior parts other than the basic block, heads, crank and milodon oil pump are custom ...

Mark,
I was wondering why the local scooter dealer was offering free crotchless pants with every scooter sale this weekend.

Bruce

Finished the 302/325hp engine for the 66' Mustang fastback. Been 5 months of fun.

Enjoy the eye candy.

Welcome aboard.

In boating terms it would be like someone buying Bertram, resurrecting the 31' but looking like a Wellcraft and advertising "The Legend Continues"

No it didn't. The legend got drunk, passed out at the wheel and crashed into a light pole and this was the result.

Thats an abortion of the highest magnitude.

If Janet Reno and Anthony Weiner got together and had a kid, it would look like that.
