Very Funny.

Very sweet.

What really sucks is it sounds like a squabble between the feds and state people and the feds have decided to make life miserable for the average joe in order to put pressure on the state. It sounds like they think fisherman are going to complain to the state and force their hand. From the Texans I ...

Paul (Capy)... could run into the greenheads after all given our dates. If they're there, then they're there... worse stuff has happened. I'd sure love to get a look at the boat...we'll see what happens. Have admired the pics of her for a long time now. How thick is that glass b.head? That bulkhead...

If you go up north along the coast, try to get to Nunan's Lobsterhut in Kennebunkport. Wow, I am crying right now thinking about how good the lobster there is.

Kevin- I assume that you are using an electric pump. I have had good success with hand drill powered pumps. Craftsman (sears) has a decent one. Jabsco makes one as well, and I think theirs comes with the adapters and hose to use for oil change via dipstick. There are others around, but they are real...

That's wild Sim. Nice to know

Thanks to you guys I now find myself checking out the strakes on every hull that I see, bertram or not.

jspiezio

Have you guys seen the prices on large outboard boats? Take a look at a new 30' Regulator, the price is astonishing.

If I were in the market I would consider an inboard diesel for near the same price. Just my $.02.

I have to think this is Photoshop. On African safaris the folks are very aware of lions (or anything else) in the area. When my brother shot his it was very, very intense. The only thing more dangerous was being charged by a Cape Buffalo that had been wounded a few days earlier by poachers. The thin...

Wow, that cockpit is really special. You should be very proud of that.

Kinda the reason I stayed a small business. Back in the late 80's I expanded to multiple trucks and personel in the shop and on the road. This at a time when mobile marine was still scarce. I found even with keeping the trucks running and a full schedule the personal service had disapeared and call...

I agreed with Bob on both points. But killing the fish is up to the angler on a charter I suppose.

How long of a run from Sarasota to Pensacola? The Bahia Mar will be down there so I might convince my dad to make a run with it.

jspiezio

Did he expect anything different? I mean, come on...that's out of sight, out of mind neglect, in an extreme scenario. .... Yes, he did.

A friend of mine bought a sailboat that had all the teak varnished beautifully. had to be 1/16" thick of varnish. He left the boat uncovered and on the hard for a few seasons and that varnish peeled off and fell onto the cockpit sole. After a particularly good rain he called me and asked if I could ...

That Cetal actually peels up in strips over time if not maintained. If you want low maintenance, then teak oil is the ticket. One caveat, try not to let blood dry on the teak, it may stain and will need some elbow grease to clean. Just get in the habit of dumping a bcuket of cold Lake Michigan water...

jspiezio

Harry, can you buy those washer/nut combos from Mcmaster?

jspiezio

Harry- I have two Ames portables and my quality guys love them. I would highly recommend. I bought them both surplus from Joe at Sag Supply, 631-586-1768. Brand new these can be very pricey, surplus they were relatively inexpensive, both arrived in their original cases with all the goddies.

jspiezio

Very nice, like the conical washer touch.

jspiezio

Walter/jryan If you are curious I can ask what the cost would be. I don't really think the lot charge would be more than a $250-$300. They just put the poles in strip then re-anodize. No certifications or anything, which is what drives the cost. The key is finding a place that has tanks long enough ...

jspiezio

I was wondering if it would be possible to take a pair of black outriggers and change the color, say to silver? JR Jack, you can absolutely change the color. The existing anodize must be stripped, and then the parts are re-anodized, colored, then sealed. My guy (Mike Duffy) said once the anodize is...

jspiezio

Checked with a specialist. He says short of black powder coat or paint, the only thing to do is polish it. You can wet sand using ultra-fine crocus cloth or ultra-fine scothbrite, maybe followed by simoniz or glass wax and then polish. But, at some point the black dye will be gone. Then the option i...

oef- sorry, I had a few G&Ts and misread. I thought that you said the black was off in spots. I think Buju is heading in the right direction with his advice.

jspiezio

Joef- Anodize does two things when applied. Anodize adds a layer of protective oxidation coating above the material. But, at the same time it actually etches away the surface it is being applied to. The resultant anodize thus is pretty deep in the material and probably is not being removed with the ...

Scott, I didn't mean to hi-jack your thread. Just had to get it out. And I thank everyone for the kind words. You really think 427 have better or just as good value. I thought I just lost 10 grand.

Mike- would you consider mounting it inside the bridge console? Mounted on the inside forward wall of the bridge super structure. The C500 is close to the furuno units which makes wiring easy. If you epoxy in a nice mounting plate of marine ply (or really anything you have) then attach the c500 to t...

True Capt. My dad has always steered me away from cored hulls because of the flex issue. Maybe it is true, your parents get smarter as you get older. Not saying that you are old.....

I have a question Capt P. It may be a dumb one, but here it goes- couldn't you verify the presence or absence of voids, especially ones the size of this, using ultrasonic inspection? It is a common tool. If I were purchasing an expensive asset such as this it would strike me as a prudent precaution ...
