Wire Line is a proven method and does work, I just hate fishing with it. Cant stop the boat and on those days with seaweed in the water your arms feel like there falling off. Is better than a good day at work. I like to fish mono with down riggers and some custom shad rigs. You can zero in on the de...

Trolling is tough with a lot of prop. Basically need to troll as slow as the boat can possibly go for Bass. Nice to hear you landed one on the deck for the first time on your new boat. Too bad it didnt have pajama's....oh well, if Bass were that easy to catch then everybody would be doing it. Then a...

Kevin and Dick Are you guys able to change props without dropping your rudders on your 28Bs? I sure can't on mine. Cliff I was able to install my 1-1/4 shafts without removing the rudders. It was tight but the shafts were able to squeeze by....barely. I also have no problem taking my 18X20 3 blade ...

Thats REALITY sometimes. If it was MIG welded it would have been easier to get apart...LOL!

Once the corrosion sets in they are all but impossible to get apart. Especially when you are working in a bligle. If you had it on a bench maybe but thats not possible in this situation.

I bought the 2005 Excursion Limited. What a truck! I love it to say the least. It has 75K miles and is BONE STOCK. Its a California car with not a spec of rust at all. The original exhaust looks brand new. No aftermarket crap at all on it. I am just keeping my fingers crossed. I have driven a few hu...

I have personally had the priviledge of spending time with some "wounded warriors" and from what I experienced they dont want to be treated special. If they need a hand (like picking them up) and carrying them on board that would be fine. We had a few guys in prospect park (Brooklyn) a few yrs back ...

I have no idea how a person who could afford that boat could possibly feel?

Hopefully no one is hurt. It does suck though.

Looks nice so far. Keep us updated.

Man........some of you guys just do awesome work!

Bob Lico's boat is is a work of art just like that one that is in the above link.

I have to agree with Bob about the Cummins. I love my B-series engines, so simple and the parts are pretty cheap. They just keep running.

Just to follow up on this thread. I changed the spring, plunger, and cap on the oil pressure regulator that is part of the oil cooling assembly. I think the oil pressure is now better and have gained some on the higher end. I am getting close to 50 PSI @ 2200 RPM I also read the tag off the engine a...

Diesel fuel in Italy is the same price as Benzina (gasoline). Both are unfortunately very expensive. Here in the States about 10 yrs ago the Oil industry realized they could make diesel more money for no reason other than pure profit. EVERYTHING in this country is moved by freight whether it be trai...

I was in Nettuno, Italy last week visiting my Aunt and saw this at the local marina. I was shocked and out of about 500 boats there it was the only Bertram.

Are these v6's or inline 6's? Are these Inboards or Stern Drives? Rated RPM most certainly would be more like 4800RPM You should turn rated RPM at WOT with no problem to be propped correctly.

On B-series Cummins there is an oil pressure regulator that has to do with Low and High oil pressure. It is on the oil cooler assembly. I am troubleshooting a Low Oil pressure problem and in the Cummins book it says to inspect the device. I took it apart and I did have a sliver of metal on the sprin...

I'm in Long Island and I pay $700 a year and the boat is insure for $18,000 and NO survey is required from progressive.

Looking to possibly buy an Excursion. They were only made from 2000 thru 2005. Early ones have a 7.3 and the later ones have the 6.0. I heard nothing good about 6.0's but its hard to fine a pre 03 with low miles on it. I was thinking about a 2005 thinking maybe that some of the 6.0 bugs may have bee...

I spoke to Tony Athens and he assured me that I would see no increase in performance or economy. Thats good enough for me. My intention was to get an innexpensive unit and just experiment to see what the results were. I had found a few aluminum units on ebay that are like $125 each and I had figured...

I am just wondering if adding the coolers would increase fuel efficiency and not necessarily expect leaps and bounds on power increases. Cooler air in the combustion chamber regardless of adding more fuel has to be a good thing to some extent. You can get an intercooler very inexpensive, an aluminum...

Where does he keep that boat...The Mekong Delta, thats some dirty water! LOL!

For purely experimentation I think you could take an oil cooler (thats good) and kind of reverse engineer it. Lets say a 3inch diameter cooler, you could cut the 1-1/4" fittings off each end making it 3" now. Instead of raw water flowing through the oil cooler you would have air instead. A 3 inch di...

Would the intercooler be cooled by seawater or could it be cooled by the freshwater side of the system. Raw water would obviously be much better temperature wise for cooling. The freshwater side a typical boat would be about 180F degrees give or take. I dont know if 180F defeats the purpose of cooli...

Has anybody ever messed around with an aftermarket intercooler for their turbocharged engine?

Hey Peter If you can find someone who can weld bronze and not charge an arm and a leg, you can add onto your existing rudders and have oversized rudders for much less money. That is the route I went.

Has anyone ever tossed the idea around of adding a keel to boat that is prone to rolling. I remember an old timer years ago suggesting it to me for my B28's snap roll but never thought too much about it. Would it help? I know it would increase the draft but it could be worth it..... Any thoughts?
