I was thinking the same thing. Maybe I've just been married too long.

Tred always makes me laugh when I see him. I remember his rather unique personal add several years back.
He made me think over a few of theings we were doing in the cockpit of the blackfin when tuna fishing, and the results were better fishing.

Couple more shots sent yesterday from Jen at Elite.

You're right on the Self Centering Drill Bit for hinges...

Those look cool.

Moving along pretty fast really. Good work.

Love those Garlingtons.

if you are buying just the deck and the passageway and you plan on using your existing engine boxes you will require EXTENSIVE fiberglass work to that passage way to work. I also feel it was designed around diesel motors because it does not fit in any dimension whatsoever on a gas powered 31. we cu...

If they are charging $115 each then I could sell them for $50 to $65 and make a handsome profit. They are really banging you hard for that price.

Dug wrote:Walter,

I bought my taco aluminum hatch edging from West Marine. They brought it in for me, and I don't recall any shipping cost at all. They carry it in the catalog, so it is supposed to be a catalog item.

I would give them a shot.

Dug, that is why you get the big bucks.

jspiezio

Try this one, should work.

Bob has a good idea, but if you decide to stick with Taco, try these guys in Bayshore. http://www.fleischertube.com/products.html. If they don't hav eit they should be able to help find it.

jspiezio

I need to see these for myself.

When I priced the 315's before I bought the Cummins, price was like 23 a piece then I had to buy the gauges, it was not a package. I was going ot be close to 50 without gears. The 42 you got them for sounds really cheap.

Dad is a very good negotiator.

jspiezio

two Yanmar 315hp with gears came in at just over $42000 delivered.

jspiezio

I don't like the computers either. The Yanmars in the 31 at Elite are some of the last of the mechanical ones that Mastry had. I don't feel comfortable with computers on diesels yet.

jspiezio

I've got to say that those 260 hp 3208s have been humming along for several thousand hours since 1981 . Mechanic thinks if they are kept up like they have been then there are several thousand more hours left in them. I can not complain about those engines at all, never a heartache.

jspiezio

The body and tail seem rigid lacking contrapposto, if that is the correct term when referring to fish. I think that the shading, coloring and scale are well done.

Overall it is a very good drawing, far better than anything that I could do, that's for sure.

jspiezio

Nice numbers on that run. Good luck with her.

Yes, I'll call Sato today and get it for you. I think my dad may have it also, I'll talk to him today.

Don't you remember I PM 'd you last year ???... I was with Methods as an engineer installing the Matsuura's all over the country. I installed your VMC 760 for your Dad Jack back in 80-81 Ray I thought that was you but I am a dumb ass sometimes. I spoke to Sato the other day, he is doing great.

jspiezio

J Not sure if it's the same one but I've seen a peeller for gel coat used before it was on a sail boat. It seemed to work great where they could take one long vertical cut from water line to bottom of keel. I don't know how good it would work on our boats with all the strakes. I have the Norten rep...

jspiezio

Have you guys ever heard of Osmotech in Annapolis? The owner, Marty Munch, has a very specialized grinder for removing paint and gel coat where they are blistered. I don't know if he sells them, or if someone sells them for him, but it might be worth calling if it saves a lot of time. (410) 280-9704...

It would be the tertiary filter, UV. Frank, UV is spot on about too tight filters being trouble. What's the old saw, even too much af a good thing is bad.

I am reviving this thread with a few more questions. Since I only have one tank, Can I run 1 (one) primary filter and split off for each engine?

Kevin- Kapersky is a good AV. In my opinion the best AV out there is AVG. It is also free. Just google AVG free and download/install. Excellent program.

You have good stuff for spyware, I would also recommend SpybotSD (Search and Destrtoy) and Malwarebytes anti malware, both also free.

Carl's side windows have an opening vent window, very much like the side windows on old cars or pickup trucks that could be pushed out to act like a vent.

J, Pam said the boat looks fantastic! I've been talking to Carl and he's been keeping me updated. There was a post a year ago or so that was titled "baha mar project", bahia was mispelled so keep this in mind when doing a sourch.

This is the sort of thing I like to keep on a need to know basis.

jspiezio

Like that windshield, much better look than the original and more functional to, I am trying to decide if I want to go back with a windshield or just an enclosure. If you don't mind me asking who did it and the approximate $$$. Thanks Bill Bill, Carl designed, built, and installed that windshield. ...

Both on the Blackfin.

Didn't hear about the ISS guages until about a year after I bought my Faria's. Would have gon that route if i had known about them.

Do the Farias give a lot of trouble compared to the ISS or is there another reason to use ISS instead?

Fantastic shots

J: Where did you get that SS sink. I want one for mine. Also I would like to do the square one at the kitchen. Hueso- Carl at Elite has all that stuff.

Having that bow rail is like having a fire extinguisher in your house (tip of the hat to Andre). When, not if, you do need to go up on the bow it may save your life.
At least you'll look sharp falling off that nice open bow with no rail.

I never knew about the 26' until I read Pascoe's review a few years ago. Now I'm hooked on them. If, or I guess I should say when, I am in the market for a "new" outboard, I think I will hunt down a 26'.
