I guess than we are on the same page, but am not sure. My take is the comercial lobby says there are lot's of fish, the nmfs not so much. I can't speak for the rest of the country, but I can gaurentee that in in Florida between Tampa and Pensacola the comercial snapper fisherman's take is two or thr...

ScottD

MIke, are you saying there right or wrong?

Or are you saying nobody knows?

ScottD

ScottD

Is there "ANY" possibility that the comercial fishermen would find what "THEY" were over fishing if they had the only call?.........................Just wonderin. I find it hard to believe that they would limit themselves. I can tell you that in Florida comercial fishermen fought the "BAN THE NETS" ...

I like the Ocean Deck. Granted it's touristy, but it's right on the beach, the women will be in bikinis, and it's a fun place to hang. You can walk down to the beach, go for a swim, and walk back up to your table. I'm also looking to see Martin win, although I can no longer watch nascar live, the co...

The center bilge is where I mount them. That's the lowest, on center, at admidships, and best balanced area for the weight. Easy access, plenty of room, and best location from the standpoint of the moment of inertia, (countering side to side roll). Capt. Patrick, I actually think that mounting weig...

Dick, I bet you find that the 427's have a lot better resale value than the 454's. It' may not be a bad thing after all.

I was there last year, this was the thread about the trip, I got a lot of good food there.

Enjoy, Scott

Check the fuel line from the tank to the filter for restrictions, especially the fittings. I you have seperate pick-up tubes for each engine, check that too. A run-up @ no load is lot less fuel flow than loaded. It's happened to me before.

If I just saw this on the internet without knowing the source, I would call B.S......... I can't see how anyone could really carve something so real looking out of one piece of wood, and then paint it better than the originals! To say your talented just doesn't seem to cover it. Great Job, ScottD

ScottD

Isn't that pilot one of those union entitlement guys?

ScottD

Guess what, I can't find any pic's on line either. I guess they were under some other thread that isn't coming up. I'll be by his shop on Monday or Tuesday and will try to get so pic for everyone.

Bob, Carl makes a dash that would replace the old dash. I think he just cuts off the old top portion of the bridge console and glasses on the new piece (I have the old original dash from SUPERMEX, I don't know why I kept it) If you pull up the posts of supermex from this site you can see it.

Carl's new number is 727-656-8718, address is still the same.

Thanks for the heads up Bruce, a great deal, ordered one today. I kinda hope the wife doesn't like it so I can keep it for myself.

My thoughts exactly Randall.

Tim, did you get the e-mail about Wayne?

I would rebuild the Quadra-jets. The small primaries and large seconderies are a great fit to a marine application.
don't change a good thing.

ScottD

ScottD

Sim, while I prefer a more of a home town place, I'll have to say Emerils was very good. I had the Double cut pork chop w/sweet potatos and the wife had Dusted shrimp. We both had salads and split the BBQ Shrimp appetizer and Huckelberry tart dessert. The food was excellent, as was the service. We h...

With the DRI conference, a Georga-Tulane football game and the Voo Doo festival it was not easy to get to every place suggested, maybe next time for the rest. Vic, I did get to go to Bon Ton for lunch: salad, onion rings, etouffee and a jumbolia appetizer. I loved it, as did the wife. ACME seafood h...

ScottD

Kipp, great call on Galatoire's! I followed your lead with the Oysters Rockfeller and Pompano w/crabmeat. (Billy was the waiter though) The meal was fantastic! It was a little wet today so I didn't get around as much as I would have liked, but getting ready to head out now. Thanks for the help from ...

ScottD

I'm in New Orleans for the new 2 days (leaving Saturday), is anything going on worth knowing about? I'm tagging along with the wife on a conference and have a lot of time to kill. It looks like drinking is not a problem here, and I'll have no problems with that but I think I'll try to include some o...

ScottD

Harry, I think the quadrajet carburetors are the best carburetors you can get for a marine application. They need little maintence, are very efficient at cruise and when you open them up there is all the fuel you can handle. Why do you call them "QUADRAJUNK"??????

ScottD

ScottD

Way to go John!!! Glad the trip is going great, and you just got started.

Hey, I just talked to a friend who I thought had delt with sunpower, and was informed it was not them. While the advice is still good, I don't know of anything about them, sorry. (and sorry to Sunpower)

ScottD

ScottD

My guess is the transmissions fitting will be the least of you problems if you buy from these guys. I would do a little research into sunopwer (try the BBB) before dealing with them. Understand this is just MY opinion, others may feel different.

I picked up my twic card today, pretty painless really. A tip for the east coast guys, when you go to pick up (activate) you card, go in the morning. They have to download your personal information on the cards chip while you there so the server is much faster before the west coast offices open (Cal...

ScottD

Mikey, the boat looks great. Kabar, THAT is funny.

Scott

ScottD

Mike, do you leave you engines running when anchored up? I can see that as pretty good security, but I gotta say that would suck for me. Back a few years ago I would go diving with a buddy and leave the boat empty,(I know, stupid) until we misjudged the current and popped up about 300 yards away dow...

ScottD

Thums up, I was staying on Lubbers Quarters just across from Talloo Cut. I usually stay on Elbow Cay but wanted to try something different. The fishing stunk, but the weather and week was nice anyway. I have always liked the Abacos.

ScottD

ScottD

Thums up, I live right down the street for this guy (literally) but couldn't tell you anything about him. His place is also his house and is a pretty messy one at that, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a good product. I,m in tha Abaco's until Sunday, but will check out anything you your interes...

That's Rolands 67 S.F., and your right Capt. Pat, it's Carl @ Elite doing the work.

ScottD

ScottD

DQ, I have a Raymarine ST8001 (same as yours but with a knob) and mounted the fluxgate in the ceiling. It works fine and stays dry and easy to run the cables. I think it's better there than in the bilge.

ScottD

ScottD

UV, you are joking about the alcohol in the cold water..........right? I don't want anyone to think thats a good idea, cuz it aint. I guess if you were in warm weather and in a life raft it would help pass the time, but in water (not even cold water, just less than body temp.) alcohol will increase ...

ScottD

John, don't worry about Carl, there aren't many people (if any) that have done more engine installs in 31 Bertrams the him. But for what it's worth, I work just across Salt Creek from Elite Marine and go by there almost every week. I have been watching you boat come from the ground up, that's going ...

ScottD

Walter, I don't know about NY, but in Tampa it was pretty easy. I signed up online, filled out paper work and set an appointment. When I went to the office I was in and out of the place in about 15 to 20 min. I have to go back in about 6 weeks to pick/activate the badge, I hope that goes as well. Sc...

RH, I have a 20,000# Boat lift US lift which I think is as good as any. Came with 1 1/2 H.P. stainless motors and backing plate, bronze bull gear, stainless pipe and cable winders, it's all aluminum and you can get it with or without the aluminum bunks. I went with wood bunks (wish I went with the a...

Tim, this is Scott's wife. My sister had the lasik surgery which worked very well for her. Scott's sister also had it done a couple of months ago and she's very happy with the results, but you need to do a little research to make sure that you are a good candidate. Get a second opinion at least. Som...

Chris, enjoyed you dad's company, glad to have him.

JP. I never said (or thought) you shopped @ West Marine, Doug however was. As for me cutting my local guys throats, I don't know where that's coming from, I support my local dive shop, tackle shop and bait shop. As for the electronics, I bought some local and I bought on-line, from Vic's local shop,...

ScottD

JP, I would hardly consider West Marine anyones local store. I'll bet there one of the largest marine on-line distributors around. And as to shopping there prices, it's there policy, why would you not do it? In my area West Marine is about 20% higher than Boaters World across the board. Now I agree ...

ScottD

Chris, I live just South of Tampa in Palmetto and work in St. Petersburg. What can I do for You (or him)?

ScottD

ScottD

Ya gotta like that! Good work Dug.

Thanks, ScottD

ScottD

James, I love your 25, I looked over pictures on BD and Scot's web page. The only possible complaint I could have is the space behind the console to the transom. Since you looking to get the bow down, I am wondering if you feel you could have put the engine a little farther forward? I read all the e...

ScottD

I work just across Salt Creek from Elite Marine and stop in to look over the 31's in progress. I don't think Carl is doing any more underwater exhausts, but the external rudders are popular. On the 28's it really helps when putting in the diesels, not a lot of room to work with. Carl's not big on pi...

ScottD

Sean, Jax is to far for me, but a few pic's from each side and there a lot of guys on this board that could tell is its all there. Now the condition of them is an other story.

ScottD

Harry, I think it was used as an attachment point for strapping down various items, hoses wire etc. They couldn't screw into the hull, so they just glassses in a piece of plywood to screw into.

I think Gerry put in Flexiteak, and really likes it.

Don't forget France is a leader in nuclear power, around 80% so charging/pressurizing will emit little emissions. (a lot of radioactive baggage though) Nuclear power is also the direction the U.S. is now heading as well. If the thing works, great, but I'm waiting on the Chevy VOLT. ScottD

Daniel, try this site to search, under rentals select the upper keys. I have been renting through them for over ten years, very happy with them.
