10 peninsular engines stack up off Allen Blvd, Farmingdale, NY . 10 cents a pound (about $100 bucks each ) the junk yard cast iron price is about 6 to 8 cents a pound so they will sit there. i have no idea why a person would want to put this engine in the number one fishing boat in the world!!!

carl that post is correct from a professional.ground up in all laboratories, some hospital areas and health care facilities NEC. (national electrical code ) article 100,320.

i build a fabulous sliding pocket raised panel teak door to the head.i used two Anderson sliders (four mini wheels on each piece) on the bottom of the door and made the track out of Epay (three spellings for this wood) . the door works perfectly.

Rickyea that photo is not the one. look on the bridge of any large flybridge fishing boat . they will have two bridge chairs on the bride the foot rest is what we are using for a step.

bob lico

this is a fairly easy job using Mike`s version or mine. my step is actually a bridge chair step made by Garlick .i used this instead of mike`s because i wanted a larger step due to the fact i am running to the bridge and need the advantage of bigger step or getting down from bridge with objects in m...

bob lico

Let`s start out with the fact i normally fish short- handed ----------Soooooo after owning the boat a year i had two choices A) get rid of that ridiculous ladder (the most ignorant thing on a 31 Bertram FBC.) or B) wear shin guards like an Ice Hockey goaltender.i am in the cockpit fishing for shark ...

i have cried many a night in the intensive care unit while they were trying to stabilize her blood pressure with two stents in her heart and the preventive blood- thinning medicine adding to the stroke problem. i just want to say to all my brothers whom have given me well wishers. i thank you from t...

bob lico

yes tony the boat is still there and engines are complete in his shop.

bob lico

somebody spent a trillion on the repower job in a well know boat yard in ft lauderdale. they put in new 1 3/4" aquanet 22 shafts /structs/PSS shaft logs and gears ,rudders so to go with 6CTA 600hp was a big jump and have to change everything.my partner is making a fistfull of dollars so possibly in ...

bob lico

JP, she moved along nicely at 24 knots with 3208 @420 hp now taking out 2500 pounds and going with c-7 450hp and some shifting weight to balance should be in at 26/27 knots. put 8 KW gennie in a W/p box under cockpit with hand made coosa board cockpit and massive kill boxes full lengh of deck

bob lico

not boat related but i have to say the brain is an incredible organ. she had blood vessel burst on the right side of the brain . two weeks of intensive care in the stroke truma unit and received a huge favor i was able to get her into the only head truma assisted living on long island.the PT people ...

bob lico

i did not personally take out the bulkhead and the cat. 3208/ 420hp engines because the boat was in a yard in NJ that did not allow it. so the yardman removed the entire bulkhead and engines.,the engines were sold on the spot and the boat floated down to Tom`s River NJ. John Lane is installing the c...

bob lico

38' removed 3208 cats and repowered with cat 450hp c-7 . removed ugly buikhead and moved bridge entry to starboard side.

bob lico

tony i use a sanding block with 320 grit and my son wet sands every three years or so. he does both panels under the companionway sides of engine hatches (that really take a beating) . the panels pull out of interlock with no screws and he has them done in 30 minutes.

bob lico

tony just goto Cummins marine 6BTA parts there are 6 different sites selling cummins marine at discounts.

bob lico

i agree with you Carl however i don`t have a lot of good years left in this world and have no regard for money. i have helped quite a few people in the past and never asked anything in return.People like you I helped because i can but anything government i charge more than a lawyer.years ago the cou...

bob lico

peter many years ago we had a customer in Brookville, NY. Dan is one of the dream team of NY attorneys (minc/rosenburg) AVE of the America`s NY so my son had a legal problem and i ask him to represent him "Bob i will do it for free or $ 800.00 per hour". i stood there and did not know what to say. O...

bob lico

you have crash valves ,then why don`t you feed the engines,generator ryedyne,antifreeze thru crash valve with main valve shut off?????

bob lico

mike all these years and never installed crash valves? taking off raw water hoses would be a nightmare,most likely ruin the hose also .stainless wire round salt water hose very expensive. think about a tee as in crash valves then you will shut main valve and feed fresh water 10 minutes than ryedyne ...

bob lico

carl i am rather embarrass i have no idea what your talking about. lets get off topic for a minute when a home has a heat pump like many homes from SC on south to FL. they work up to 32 degrees than they rely on electric heating coils in the ductwork to maintain 70 degrees. the Bertram has a special...

bob lico

no i don`t heat the water for heat.heat sensing relay blow return air thru heating coils.heats cabin in minutes and goes on and off with thermostat for AC/HEAT on wall next to sink in galley.just set temp for winter ,summer and also dehumifier.blankets ,throw pillars in V-birth dry all the time.just...

bob lico

carl don`t forget i try not to keep in mind no male in my family ever live beyond 67----- SOOO that factor comes to play along with the niche with federal government contracts. getting back to subject i put small heating coil in reverse cycle ductwork so below water temperature of 45 degrees the coi...

bob lico

my boat is in the water 9 1/2 to 10 months a year and i am getting on in age my cousin say it the best '' BROTHER how many good years due we have"that being said i don`t know about you guys but it is a great feeling to walk into a heated,DRY, cabin to warm up with hot chocolate or coffee . sorry guy...

my favorite place in the world. Camden Maine i love all the coast on Maine. great photo`s ,great family.

bob lico

good informative post

bob lico

i agree with your view on leather,the leather in the old corvettes were a thicker than present day cars but very hard to tell any bad qualities because the corvettes are garaged and sit on a wool rug with padding because corvette are notorious for absorbing moisture in brake calibers . the most obvi...

bob lico

good idea mark i will follow thru with helm chair covers. B.T.W. i have been covering the steering pod for 16 years with a cover and the oringinal awlgrip brand albrite i did with 20 coats has held up ,i would not dream of doing that pod over while it was in the boat.

bob lico

the product for the helm chairs is called ultra leather actually a PVC leather is real nice.

bob lico

Obviously marine leather both in cabin and on bridge feels and looks exactly like leather. marine leather done by Dormar Canvass long island ,NY. TOM is the best of the best on Long Island for custom work ,bridge canvass is Stamoid a fantastic looking soft material from the Swiss installed with no s...

bob lico

oh yea for sure case in point i pull into Sailors Haven years ago with full boat the entire family with grand children. 10 people depending on you, damm this docking is going to be heroic. at very end of north side is the only slip and two boats at a right angle making the 11' slip unusable well now...

bob lico

two speed ZF gears

but they are very high physically and would not fit in confined under cockpit . i took measurements and not even close.some years back Cabo made a 31or 32' with catapillars 350 hp and used this ZF two speed transmission . costly for a 31' so they use the 35' as minimum.

bob lico

as long as they are sitting down no problem .i don`t want them to try to fend off the pilings like the searays coming in to dock and the captain must always be aware if you are in a situation with a man standing on the coaming boards putting out out riggers you cannot manever so just keep the boat i...

bob lico

this is a photo of foam lay up and shaping ,back pad has wrap around foam like ZO-6 corvette seating to keep you from sliding left and right.i hope i answer your question CAM

bob lico

honest peter i am perfecly coftable the seat is exactly were i want it.funny thing now that i think of it. my wife has a BMW X-5 and those seats can move every possible way along with back lumbar of seat seriously ridiculous and you know what, she adjusted first day car arrived and never touch the 1...

bob lico

cruising in calm water at least 25 no problem.

bob lico

sliding mechanism one system and shock absorber system another suspension system you cannot both because slider is one track inside another and shock absorber use one track independent of the other. seat is preset for me or son 5'8" at 73 yo it is highly unlikely i will get any taller nor my 50 year...

bob lico

tony it would be exactly the distance you are away from your steering wheel in your car.wheel is at a angle like the tilt sreering in your car.as i mention in previous post i started with only a pod on bridge the use milk crates and 2 x 6" planks until i was in a coftable driving position as well as...

bob lico

try my ever best to add personal touch to every aspect of this project like no "flaps" on cushions that would obscure the beautiful grain on the teak ladderback ,so i made a 1/4" pvc. board and stainless hangers attach to inside of ladderback to hang seat back on in addition allows for quick removal...

bob lico

finished job and exception confort ,back of chairs have built in spring in vertical teak of ladderback by way of datto teak with alluminum band inside to give spring to the room on your back for extra confort. https://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r21/BobLico/bridge%20chairs/IMG_1669_zpss4ypkvhk.jpg
