the boat went down stern first, it would make sense that the balsa core transom would fail at that time, the strut seems pretty obvious to me- its sitting on it. Having seen and repaired a 50' Sea Ray that fell out of its travel lift I can tell you that the struts and rudders went right though the b...

pictures of the boat sitting on the bottom have been made public

that is very nice, and I put myself in for the book as well.

the owner of that 63 wrote a check and paid in full, there is some issue with insurance as it seems it was NOT insured.

So logically speaking it would be the craziest case of fraud ever

He even ordered a "spare" set of props- to the tune of $40000, pretty silly to go to that extreme no?

leatherette/vinyl= simple spray and wipe maintenance

carpet- holds moisture and may require shampoo once in a while, but it may take a hook better then the vinyl or leatherette.

Raybo Marine NY

we have faired and painted, it is not a pleasant task.
You must be sure to remove all the glue if you wish to paint or gelcoat.

but the bottom of the boat does not appear to be breached, and the captain has said he did not hit anything.

I agree there are alot of things you CAN hit.

When the photos and videos come out it will speak volumes

Raybo Marine NY

it is not going to be raised, it is a total loss and has no value. The transom is gone, the tower is trashed, the forward deck is almost entirely missing, large sections of the hull sides are missing. The diver on the wreck has already stated there is no damage to the bottom, and that the underwater...

Raybo Marine NY

its sticking up for the truth. When I said earlier if it was one of your own would the tone be different what I was trying to imply was if one of your own said "I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING", would you believe it more then reading someone else's story on the internet through 4-5-6th party ? I was not even...

I have others I am not going to post at this time out of respect for ALL those involved.

Raybo Marine NY

that is THE buoy, trust me on this one.

I am posting under my company name, I am not doing this to be a shit stirrer.

That red buoy is what I expected to see, not a floating rubbermaid container

Raybo Marine NY

He was supposed to have been 1 mile from that buoy, lets just speculate like mature people here, lets think of something he could have hit, that he did not see, that would take down the boat? I cant think of anything off hand but I know there are very salty people on this board who have seen enough ...

Raybo Marine NY

here is the buoy, pictures were taken last week, you be the judge, it is plastic, and the pole coming out the top is PVC with the aluminum radar reflector on it. These photographs do not lie, forget what has been talked about- this is the buoy that is supposed to have taken down that boat? http://ro...

This is not the place to hold back, I'd like to hear from a different perspective. Mechanincal / Electrical failure, fatigue & bad judgement are the ones that keep playing in my head. the scenario I have in my head is more based on information I have gathered from the local sources who know this bo...

Raybo Marine NY

I have typed up 5 different responses
Im just going to let this one go and lets hope that one day we can see photographs of that boat.

Raybo Marine NY

if it was one of your own from this board im sure the tone would be different.

Raybo Marine NY

if you have been using it and its been fine- keep your eye on it, no one can say how long it will last.

I think you are going to find when you remove it, if it removes in one piece, that it is far too heavy and awkward to have any mobile uses

Raybo Marine NY

and that would make you human, and would make it a accident

if I crashed a 1.8 million dollar boat I think I would consult a attorney as well.

Boat was going from New York to Florida, then I believe Dubai.

Raybo Marine NY

You get what you pay for in a crew like anything else. No wonder the crew lawyered up so quick. that captain runs boats back and forth to Florida all the time, for many years he has been doing it, tradition carried on from his father who also has been doing it for years. What makes you think the cr...

Patrick might be the guy to give you the technical reason, but as I understand it, any tank pre 1980 will be affected by the contact with ethanol. After that date, there's a chance you might be ok, Walter A Silver Anniversary Edition came in today with a bad tank, I think some people just get lucky...

repairing that stringer- cut both out entirely and replace.

No repair, its time to replace.

Raybo Marine NY

walter hitting a rock is not under the warranty, it was just an example of the cost of parts, when a yamaha lower unit costs $2,900 for a 225hp. hitting a rock is covered under insurance, you cant go about your life worrying about things like that otherwise you would scare yourself out of leaving t...

just a FYI- Pomp sells the backing and cushions, they now sell it in wood free version. You may want to explore that if you also require cushions

im lucky I can manage to eat fish let alone catch any, and I have sight.

I called Nassau Chrome abotu 2 weeks ago and they told me they were still doing it, they are right here on Long Island and always did great work

On the topic...I have read where guys where using "sandable silicon caulk" between the slats. So what is the band name for this stuff, and is it actually sandable? I have used Boat Life caulk on the boat. It's sandable and stands up to the elements. Flexible, too. Boatlife, who make Life Calk, make...

BTW I paid about $500-$600 for my cooler, that included installation. I made my money back in under 6 months so it was worth it for me. We also no longer use the microwave to heat up water for tea, chocolate or oatmeal. It took the Culligan man about 20 minutes to install, mine houses the filters in...

Raybo Marine NY

if she really drinks alot of water you may want to get a cooler, I went to a filtered water cooler versus the big bottles and I have saved over $1000 a year since. I was getting hit with $60-$110 water bills and had to have those damm bottles all over the place that no one wants to replace. A simple...

places dont normally stock them, but I know I can order them and have them the next day from my suppliers. I guess if you have asked and no one wants to bother then you have no choice, I believe you can order direct from brownells they just slap a shipping label right on the stand and ship UPS so at...

Raybo Marine NY

there is a neighboorhood marine supply store next door to me, they had stands in there for less then $80-$90.

My point? Try some local places so that you save on the shipping.

Raybo Marine NY

that is slick, the only thing I dont like about plates is that should the top need to be removed the bolts will usually break from corrosion.

Now should he be a very good boat owner and remove those bolts and apply a teflon gel every 6 months or so then im sure he wont have a problem.

Raybo Marine NY

4200 is not UV stable either. We are talking about the deck of a 31 Bertram right? With the hatch openings and the edges along the hull plenty of water can find its way down into the bilge, I think some of this is being over thought? A bead of simple silicone will do the job and will be UV stable. I...

Boat Life marine silicone rubber is a good choice, easy to remove later on.

Dont waste your money on 3M 4000UV, I have been very dissapointed by it and I am a heavy 3M user.

do not use any, there is no need and it will be even harder to keep clean

Raybo Marine NY

they are re-selling Gibco flex molds, at MUCH higher prices.

Buy direct from Gibco and save yourself a TON of money.

Regardless- it will not match up to your boxes, the skid on your boxes have worn down over time, the new stuff will be much higher.

Raybo Marine NY

no way man, you will be in too deep, it will be a quest and a obsession that is sure to end in casualties

Raybo Marine NY

now im curious- what happens after the 3 months is up?

Raybo Marine NY

odd is that he was a good customer of the dealership and got upset that he could not buy that boat, they told him it was sold and already had new electronics put into it, he went nuts, hooked up to it and sped off!

Raybo Marine NY

I have a center console Logic 12 for sale if anyone is looking for a awesome little boat to leave in the water and forget about.

I really want the crazy stuff behind the building gone, as much as it provides cover from thieves its up against my steel building and I prefer it not be there.

The vacant property next door is for sale so maybe if that happens I wont have a hard time clearing it for them.

Raybo Marine NY

well we sprayed about 20-24 gallons of the the roundup, mixed it a little stronger then what it said, everything is turning brown so I guess it worked. Still have to deal with the big poison ivy bush behind the shop, the day we were ripping out weeds to get close there was a slight breeze so I did n...

Raybo Marine NY

where the ivy is there is no vegetation I wish to save, its along side the building between my property and the neighboor, its really his problem for just letting it get to where it is, damm thing is a tree now and makes you itch just looking at it. We have no business being back there and I feel it...

Raybo Marine NY

thanks for the help, now hopefully I can find some pro strength stuff that I can buy without a license

Raybo Marine NY

I had a guy who worked here go right into that poison ivy tree and rip it out like it was nothing, I cant believe he did not get anything from it!

Guess I will be making my way to the roundup aisle!

Raybo Marine NY

if you have even the faintest plan to paint your formica later on you may want to reconsider using anything that will be a pain to remove later on, products that give a quick easy gloss also will be a enemy to your paint.

I just cant be putting diesel in the ground, or anything else that may show up later or hurt the water. I have water less then 8' below ground, it obviously flows south in my area which means it goes under houses before making its way into the bay. We also get our drinking water from below ground an...

I searched the old topic talking about killing weeds, but for some reason I could not reply to it. I have some heavy duty work to do around the shop, the weeds are at the time of the year where they must go.
