Frank: That is exactly what happened down here....nobody took it seriously and when the 11:00 am report on Monday came out, it was found that the wind span of the hurricane was larger than they thought and everybody panicked. Traffic jams were a mess.....people running to marinas to tie their boats,...

The Bomba was a direct hit and there is more swell coming from Fiona today in the afternoon and tomorrow. How sad. Don't worry, Full Moon party will be in effect by the time you come back! With or without the Shack.

How it usually looks like! Pics taken today.

B31 is fine. 30 to 40 mph gusts and lots of rain. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m290/Hueso31/Huracan.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m290/Hueso31/HuracanEarl2.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m290/Hueso31/HuracanEarl3.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m290/Hueso31/979226_10.jp...

The UV 9 will take place from the 21th until when? There is a slim chance that I could travel from the 25th on. Explain the tourney to me to ascertain if I "bandwagon" this one.

Hueso

I am a conservative when it comes to buying a classic.....no no for the modified bridge.....as a buyer, always remember you are at the top of the chain....keep looking and when you have evaluated at least 5 or 8 boats, then make an educated decision.

2 XL for me.

Buju:

Looking at the 16 vs. Also looking for used 50's.

Thanks.

Bruce:

Don't roast me on that one. Let's say it again: "reasonable prices"...

Buju:

Thanks. Bass Pro Shops usually at the high end of fishing tacke prices.

I'll be at Boca Raton tomorrow and Wednesday working. Planning to go down to Capt. Harry's and El Capitan fishing supply stores to look at some Penn reels. Any closer places to Boca Raton I may look at? Who gives the best prices and/or has a better selection? Have dealt in the pass with Harry's son ...

Another pic showing the brackets.....use only stainless steel screws and locknuts. When installing, use 5,200 liberally and later cut excess.

Hueso

I installed a West Marine stainless steel removable ladder on top of my starboard gunwale. As you may appreciate from the photo, the brackets are mounted at the back. I've been through the 190 to 240 pounds area and it has hold for about 5 years without a problem. I had to slightly modified the rest...

I'll find out if I can send you a bottle, but not the Bacardi boring stuff. Don Q is what we (I) drink. PM your address just in case.

UV:

Thanks a lot. Called today and Harold is a really nice guy. Found the CX. You drinking now a days?

Hueso

same thing happening to my starboard tach......I have 454 crusader engines and morse sticks.....the only difference is that usually the tack works in neutral and when I accelerate the damn thing goes back to cero..... Next weekend I will try UV's suggestion: spray the whole damn thing with CX......p...

Lots of memories on that chair........my wife will kill me if I take it away....she reads, sleeps, and holds the baby on it.

My brother did the side panels of his 31's cockpit........20 years ago.....still standing and no fading. However, he placed white formica over them. We have removed them a couple of times to do maintenance of floors and change muffler hoses......re-installed and no problem. I re-did the entire inter...

UV: I just pan fried it with a little lemon, salt and butter and some white rice on the side. Also, made my favorite Puerto Rican dip in sauce: MAYOKETCHUP, which is Mayonaisse mixed with Ketchup and a bit of garlic powder or chopped garlic, your choice. Other days I throw in some Tabasco sauce. Dip...

Cruising and fishing for most of my life in 31's and after re-building three 31's with my family, if you have the $100,000 buy a Yanmar/Cummin powered redone boat. If you search at www.clasificadosonline.com you'll find a couple of diesel powered B31 at good prices. The trick is how to have it deliv...

I almost commit the sin of a lifetime......before buying my 31 I was negotiating a Grady White 28 Sailfish a I made an offer for $32,000. Thank God the owner was a hard headed and wanted $42,000 for it. Two weeks later I found an add in the paper of a 31 for $65,000. Call the owner and offered $45,0...

Incredible! Was planning to go up to the Miami B*tch International Boat Show with the baby, but I'm quiting. February is around the corner and things don't look pretty. My 3 month old doesn't know what "cold" air is.

Looking at twin 315 Yanmars with 1000 hours in them. Tranies to be included. Price will be negotiated next week.

Thanks to all! He will be a month old this next Friday at 7:05 p.m. Planning to sleepover at the marina so he starts to get used to the "waving" motion.

After four new manifolds, risers and 2,000 high end dollars, the cause of my B31's "white" smoke was a broken down impeller.......which by the way were installed "new" on April of this year. Although it was time to change the manifolds and risers..........as my father (a civil engineer) used to say....

Bruce:

Friend was advised and its working on it. Thanks as always.

Hueso

I imagine you felt miserable during those 6 months?

As usual, excellent advise Bruce. It does has a synchronizer. Any providers? Approximate price? in order to have an idea where to start.

Thanks in advance.

My best friend has a 1987 Bertram 54 with twin 12v92 Detroit Diesel and he needs the throtle and clutch cables (4).

What is the length of those cables, where can he find them, any good brand?

J: He said it will improve water circulation through the engine....and will create more space on the sides of the engine, therefore it could be center risers......the mech. is shopping around for prices and he will not charge me more than he will pay for them.....only labor hours R: Yes, there are f...

Hueso

That time has come............need new risers and manifolds for my 454 Crusaders.............mechanic said he will use the "modern ones"....

My question is: how much is a reasonable price to pay for these parts to "modernize" my twins? A rough estimate is enough.

Thanks for the help
