Marlin,

I have had some recent communication with Conchita via e-mail.

cabreraskits@aol.com

Craig Mac

i have bought two kits from them in the past---i did not have a problem ---it just isn't easy.

Craig Mac

Thanks for the follow up--Idid speak to Conchita but I don't think she understand what piece I was ashking about.

So that panel is custom one-off?

Craig Mac

Does Cabrera make the panel under the steering wheel on the flybridge with 3 doors?

I just tried calling them, but Choncita was not available and the person who answered the phone did not speak english.

Craig Mac

what are you using this on? Props, shaft? My props usually come out clean at the end of the season , but usually have growth on my shaftes

Craig Mac

Does anyone know the boat MOON TIDE out of Jupiter?

A nice restoration with custom oversized engine boxes-just wondering what kind of pwer in the boat.

Craig Mac

Walter, I am not sure all sportfisherman had lower control stations---I remember seeing a price list that listed the price for a lower control station as an option.

Although I have never seen an original one that did not have one.

Craig Mac

Capt Pat, just curious, what is the large round hole on the starboard side of dashboard---what type of electronic?

Craig Mac

I have never seen one without vents. I have seen boats with no side hull vents that were vented in the cockpit--but have been told they were very loud. No first hand expeirnce. I did note that Capt Pats project is using his original vent design which I perfer over his second design. I am very happy ...

Craig Mac

I replaced my tachs last year on a gas boat---used VDO gauges--also have problem with the starboard gauge---I spoke to tech and they have a bulletin regarding erratic readings---something about installing a diode ---

Craig Mac

I pretty much did this to my boat---removal of the stand up head --but was concerned about removing the rear bulkhead as the flybridge tends to rack as things losen up. Capt Patrick indicated that there is a structural difference in the two models. I left my bulkhead intact but made the windows as l...

Craig Mac

I have a large Murray Chair--it does take up a lot of room, but holds my rods, provides good grab handles when things get rough, and everybody loves to sit in it to relax.

I also can't think of too many boats in our size range that can handle this size chair, another plus for the 31.

Craig Mac

Referring to the navigation light mouted in front of bridge-any alternatives to PERKO?

Craig Mac

Here are the three styles I found

Craig Mac

Have 3 blade on 1 3/8 shaft---been using a knock off nut but not comfortable with the process--

Any recommendations for a prop puller---I have seen one with 3 threaded bolts and one with only one.

Craig Mac

I see on spearbaord you are from jupiter---is that where the boat is docked?

Where was the work done? Looks great-another one saved.

Craig Mac

I have a friend looking for running project boat, flybridge model with stand up head---preferably in the North East ---any one have a lead? Checked yatch world and saw the listing in Oakdale for the Gambler--may go look at it this weekend.

Craig Mac

although it is a rarity, i am not sold on the visibility ---i could not imagine running any boat looking thru a windshield all the time, especially a boat that takes so much spray over the bow--that windshield would be covered in salt in no time. may be a good model for enforcement work, but looking...

Tommy Gifford, a pioneer of deep sea fishing use to run one with a tower called the Stormy Petrel, it summered in Montauk.

What happened to your Summer Winds project?

Craig Mac

i am a fan of the 32 bridge boat as well as a 42 liberty which is just a much larger 31--something that i always thought bertram should have built.

also like the original cary hulls although very limited info on them

Craig Mac

Found this on the blackfiin website--can't tell much from the pictures-does anyone know the boat or owner?

http://www.blackfinowners.com/forums/sh ... 8#post4078

Craig Mac

I have admired this boat for many years, I mostly see in docked at Canoe Place in the summer. Don't see too many Rybo's around these parts. Just curious Bob, what power does she have? Out in Montauk there is a 36 footer called CIRCE, don't think it is kept as nice but I perfer the smaller size. Perf...

Craig Mac

Back in the early 70's there was a 26 that fished out of jones inlet, named the JOHN B---heard it leaked like a sieve.

Craig Mac

For winter storage in aluminum tank has there been a consensus regarding ethonal fuel?

Craig Mac

Michael makes a beautiful boat, visit his shop every time I am in Florida.

Last summer was on a sea trial for one of his smaller boats - I think it was a 33-called the Buddy Boy---think it is also on yachtworld now Twilight Affair.

Craig Mac

just received my october copy of Marlin Magazine--article regarding ICCAT and CITES listing

Craig Mac

I am not sure how that works , but i don't think the usa would list the species endangered without the eu on board----and although the eu is not accepting restrictions--there is a seperate body pushing cites listing and with the current environment has a better chance than before.

Craig Mac

I am not sure stricter restrictions will work with the international community if this was a local population such as stripe bass we could reasonably moniter the fishing community. I have no faith that restrictions will be adopted and then enforced internationally. Bluefin have been monitored and re...

Craig Mac

i am hoping they list the bluefin as endangered under CITES and ban international trade for the species---

Craig Mac

I originally had a flybridge crusier with stand up head and removed it and relocated in v-berth counter to most projects. I always wanted the sportfish as the open bulkhead really made the small cabin feel much bigger. Also as a day fisherman the head was never used. I did have a friend that had a s...

Craig Mac

I think Mike Matlack president of Gamefisherman has a lot to do with this company. I think some of the Gamefisherman were built in Costa Rica--the cold molded ones--and the fiberglass ones were built in Stuart Fl. Mike was also associated with Rybovich and Stuart Angler boats. I have always admired ...

Craig Mac

i think the palm beach is built in costa rica

Craig Mac

looks a llike a Palm Beach

Craig Mac

i had pompanette make me a new bench seat---the original plywood was rotten---they fabricated new one out of starboard with removable cushions--starboard is okay for the backrests but would have chosen a different material for the seat-starboard is not that strong--i fabricated a support that ran th...

Craig Mac

i regularly fished a small block boat--this was back in 1969 and was from the factory---i was too young to appreciate the performance or lack of at the time--boat was named Sunshine and fished out of Jones Inlet---i do remember fishing the bayshore mako tournament on the boat in 1971 and was conside...

Craig Mac

Checked an old price list-Dec 1961--

Express $19,945

Sportfish 20,545

Hardtop 18745

Utility 16945 Only saw this model in brochure

In 1966 Bertram had a advertisement for a Bahia Mar model for $16,000

Craig Mac

With the event of higher hp diesels there seems to be no interest in developing a better gas marine motor that has suitable characteristics for fishing boat needs-- maybe they just couldn't get around the efficiency #'s. But back in the 60's Daytona Marine developed a twin turbo charged big block th...

Craig Mac

i think the original price was closer to 16,000 in 1961---i think i have some info in my office will recheck.

Craig Mac

I don't know abt the diesel--but this is above board operation not clandistine

He has been challeged by some townshipsand fire departments and has fought and won according to him.

Craig Mac

Sure Harv, anytime.

The good thing for me is that they are delivering gas and I think their octane is 89. I was buying 87 on the water.

Craig Mac

for long island guys---been using rising tide fuel-gas or diesel--very dependable comes to house-i think mininum is 50 gallons--not sure if it is okay to post # ---very clean truck and 250 feet of hose--

Craig Mac

john,

how is Summer Winds coming---are you looking to switch project boats or looking for a second project?

Craig Mac

bob,

i am going short looking for BFT---anywhere from 20-60 miles from jones--let me know if you get any reports-right now i am throwing darts at the chart.

Craig Mac

i am supposed to do an inshore run tomorrow from jones inlet, not sure if i should work southeast -compass rose-virginia-bacardi or south---lillian-glory hole---any reports? I think babylon tuna club is holding their tournament out of fire island this weekend.

Craig Mac

Not a half hull but a pretty cool full model

Craig Mac

I am pretty sure Dusky bought the mold years ago and dusted it off recently as an outboard version

http://outdoorsbest.zeroforum.com/threa ... d=10330656[/url]

Craig Mac

do you have a picture of the artwork?

Craig Mac

craig
