I was watching Ship Shape today. The episode discussed how to install on board air conditioning. The raw water intake was installed through hull, with no seacock and run through a plastic bowl strainer.

Maybe I'm too cautious, but does that not seem smart to any one else on here?

damn you and your infernal games!

Having had the opportunity to bob around in a life raft for a few hours I can tell you this. If its 8 men in an 8 man raft don't bring any tackle because after about 2 days you'll eat 2 of the weakest guys just to make more room. Most rafts come with some type of fishing tackle in them. Brewster is...

I'll ask Carl.

Plus they give you an excuse to blow another hole in the dash and run more wires for lights, yeah.

I like the way you think son

Dad is heading south next week. Will check on his special project over at Elite Marine. Carl says the progress has been tremendous and sees her floating this summer! He also has relayed several offers for the boat that would result in a tidy little profit if dad decides to go that way. Very excited ...

thats why you kick it away from you....its not consistant but montauk can be very very good.....very good....rock reefs and sticking 120 miles out into the ocean equal good waves...however block island is even better.. .its always offshore somewhere....my son's gonna see peter next week ..ill tell ...

The fact that he has to ask after his experience on his first SeaDog makes me doubt his cognitive abilities. However, with that aside, there are many, many boats that lie in the spectrum between SeaDog 26 and Bertram 31. He has asked your opinion because he has doubts and wants some direction. You c...

Chum and a live herring or whiting used to be great. Chumming is also obsolete up here. Dog fish are so thick you can walk on'em. When the wind dies and the live bluefish gets down 10' the dogs will eat them alive. They'll eat a bare hook. Naturally the Feds have limited the catch on dogfish, and t...

Again fantastic. My favorite is still the Knobel railing. Where are you exhibiting now?

Brewster you have got a nice routine, you must have very good mates that you can count on and trust. I have never seen the 200 mono trick, nice idea. When I have fished on commercial boats for Giants the routine generally went as follows with fish on- Rod is left in holder; boat backs down HARD (my ...

Fished them on stand up 130# tackle in the mid 1990's off Hatteras. Saw the fight kick the ass off many a grown men.

Brewster, how do you like that Green Stick? How easy is it to use? I have never fished on a boat with one, but I have heard stories about how effective they are.

have you ever seen anyone ride it?...i grew up surfing atlantic beach to gilgo... I never have, but I was talking to a friend last night about how we could work it out this summer. I told him he could ride and I would tow. Like I said, it just scares the bejeezus out of me to surf in the open like ...

Back in the 70's out of Montauk, Eddie Murray's ritual was spending the day rigging daisy chains of Mackerel with the hook sewn into the last one. Then out south of Block Island to slow troll two daisy chains, one from each corner of the stern just at dawn. The strikes were explosive. They'd be bac...

When the swell rolls a bit there is sometimes a nice break about 1.5 miles south of FI inlet. I haven't rode it, nor would I, I like the beach nearby when I'm on a board. That open ocean stuff just don't seem natural.

Chris- I have dragged mullet on spreaders at very very low troll speed. fish lolling on top.Super effective on Giants if dragged correctly.

Listeria is also very bad and can grow in lots of places. Bait is a great place to start. Butterfish are held in holds on draggers that are not clean then frozen. You put the butterfish in a cooler or in a fish box. You throw bait and catch fish and now put them in the box or cooler. That fish is n...

I was there on Saturday with my cousin from New Jersey, who also mates for me. Unlike Friday, it was busy. The $660,000 Bertram was visited and my cousin quickly observed, "this ain't no fishing boat". No way you can walk around to the bow as there is nothing to hold on to for at least 8 feet from ...

Great location, beautiful spot. Sag Harbor or Greenport a short ride away.
And good Bass fishing nearby!

Coecles Harbor at the Ram's Head Inn? Know of Rendezvous there.

Very nice installation.

Bob she is beautiful, I saw your shots in the bootstripe thread. didnt realize it was the same boat

jspiezio

i can`t imagine a guy making the canvas guy line up all the vertical and horizotal pipework so you could not view the stamoid canvas from the outside

I hadn't thought of that Bob. I thought he did it to prevent the clear from rubbing or cracking on the piping. Jtyson, which is it?

No where in the canal? Maybe we could work something out, you never know

Come on Harv, you know the platform is integrated not to hold a tool box. The platform is there to hold the tape on that "Custom Tool Box Pedestal".

Thanks ZC.

I don't think any of those are my hull, we do not have under water exhaust as shown. I like to hear the engines.

Mike- great acoustic set, no? I wish I could see that many shows a year. Family life limits me to about 5!

Don't mean to thread jack, But how was the show? Always love Stephens talk house.

Iwas thinking of seeing the show, but got a last minute invite to Neil Young at the Palace that night.

Wow Randall, I am blown away. Just beautiful stuff.

JSPIEZIO, is there a Head planned for this project ? According to Carl there will be! It looks tight but he says trust him. He has had a very free hand on this boat. He wanted the side exhausts to alleviate back draft of fumes. Which works for me because the women in the family don't love the smell...

There was a boat in the Hamptons not too long ago where the owner built up the helm area to accomplish the same effect. I also had ideas of making the deck so that the boxes would be eliminated. The two major drawbacks to this approach are, you would then have either a very sharp steep climb into t...

I don't know. My experience is when salt water is involved I should just KISS. That helps minimize the amount of trouble I get myself into. On paper this sounds great, I just don't want to be the test vehicle.
