Greg I am still tryng to get my wiring squared away. My attempt to use the stick up wire ties and bundle my wires to it is frustrating me. I have tried just about everything but epoxy to hold them up under the overhead. I will probaby epoxy them up so I can keep everything orderly. Plus once I got t...

Looks real clean for her age. They just don't build them like that anymore.

Best of luck with her.

Greg

Looks like the project is moving forward. Are you going to keep the boat in the yard or are you moving it closer to home?

Bob

Happy Birthday &many many more. Enjoy the day.

Tony Meola

Rawleigh and Susan

Congratulations. Here is too many happy years together.

Robbie

Sounds like you are out of the marina business. Quite an add for Culligan. LOL

Rocky

On the 31 with Gas engines, there are two ignition switches on the bulkhead under the wheel. The start buttons are part of the instrument panel.

There are tow main breakers in the Cabin on the FBC. These serve to kill the power to the engines and the switches.

Harry

Looking good. I bet it feels good to be closer to completiion. Nothing sounds better than the rumble of those Cummins.

Bob

As usually a first class job. I love the look, but the thought of the first scratch makes me shudder.

Bob

Not sure if the loran will work after this year. I heard the normal loran was going down some time in October. I think they will be rolling out digital system but I am not sure if anyone even makes a unit to pick up the new signals.

Tony Meola

Walter For all of us its coming to a State near you. Nj is considering doing the same thing. This whole thing is being pushed by the feds and the States see it as a revenue generator. So hold on to your hats. Fishing is going to become a thing of the past. The days of inviting friends out for a day ...

Bob

You should have insurance. If you have an umbrella policy they usually want to make sure all your coverages are up to snuff.

God forbid someone gets hurt on the boat and sues you.

You really need it to cover your self from the legal aspect of this world. Loosing the boat is another story.

Tony Meola

The shame of it is, the call a 200lb fish a big fish. There was a time that was a small fish and 500lbs was the big fish. Then you see them take that 60lbr. I understand that its a job and a living but we do not need to commercialize it on TV. Thank God they are making a come back. I have not, by ch...

I am trying to finish the clean up of the repower and I need to get the 110 AC squared away. I was going to install A Galvonic Isolator then when reading the Yandini site, I see they say that now I need to a meter to the Isolator. Evidently this is now required under the ABYC rules. My question is, ...

[Its a boat, not a submarine]

Robby

There have been times I was not so sure about that. I have gotten off the boat looking like some one left the hatch open on a submarine.

Tony Meola

Redrum I am just about finished with my 75 with the same engines. Just dropped it in the water. You are going to love it. Unfortunately I don't have all the wiring done so the GPS is not hooked up yet, so I can not give you the cruise numbers. For the steering I put the Sea Star in. Cylinder number ...

UV

This proves you are back.

It's been quite without you. Glas to see you around again.

Great timing, going to be getting into the cool season soon up here. We could always use a couple of those comfort food recipes you have stashed away.

Tony Meola

Bob

Great looking family. Looks like everyone had fun. You know what, they will always talk about these days, even after they are long over. The kids will remember it forever.

Tony Meola

Bob No matter how many rods you had to remove or how many women were around you, you loved it. Nothing better than sharing the boat with the family. Consider your self lucky. Your family enjoys the boat. If they didn't you probably wouldn't have the family or possibly the boat. Its all great memories.

Tony Meola

Capt. Pat

Gave it a try. Did not work but I will keep trying. Thanks for the tip. I wonder if its my Kapersky blocking it?

Tony Meola

For the corner exhaust, check out the pictures of John Cranston boat. I believe his come out the corners.

I prefer the bronze look also. Less chance of cracking them, plus they look like they really belong there.

Tony Meola

Randall

Great shots. The sunset (or should I say close to sunset is perfect).

Tony Meola

Ok, here is question for all of you computer experts, why is that all of sudden I can not see the vidio.?

All I can see is a little icon in the upper left hand corner. Tried clicking on it but nothing.

Never had a problem up until now.

Tony Meola

JR Stainless can not be used if you charter. I don't remember the name of the outfit, but there was one builder who was talked about in earlier posts, I would say about two years ago. Maybe someone will remember the name of the outfit that made the stainless tanks. Otherwise do a search. If you are ...

Andre Many years ago, when I was about 26 years old, the department I worked for at Met Life had a receptionist whom I had worked with for several years and new at the time that I was not married. She was a nice kid but not the brightest bulb in the world. I came back from lunch one day and she says...

John We used to fish offshore with a friend who at the time owned a 67 FBC with the 440 Chryslersor as some call them Mopars. Ours is a 75 and we had the 454 big blocks that were rated at 350 HP. My father did our friend a favor and in the late 70's he converted the distributors for him so he did no...

Tony Meola

Like Capt. Pat said, it looks like a lot of the restoration is done for you. If the wiring is in good shape and it would just be replacing engines a pair of 270 reman cummins with transmissions would go around $40,000 not installed. If you need shafts/ struts and so on the cost will jump. By the way...

Tony Meola

Very Sweet. Love that shine.

Tony Meola

John

The small block was standard and the upgrades depending on the year were big blocks and diesels.

For a period of time in the 60's Chrysler was an option.

I have similar pricing and option info for a 75 FBC. IN 75 the diesel option was the 555 cummins.

Hard to believe. Richard is a legend and one heck of a nice guy. I hope its all just a missunderstanding.

Tony Meola

Bill

We all could just picture the trail of bubbles going down 95. Just imagine the guy driving behind the boat as the suds come off of it.

Bob, we welcome another 31 to NJ. Good luck with her. Great boat for out waters.

Tony Meola

Randall Make sure the throttle cable to that Carb is operating to capacity. That is it moves enough to fully open the Carb. Make sure the butterfly is not closing on you, i had that one time. Couldn't get over 3000 RPMS but it idled fine. Also if it is a 4 barrell Carb. If it is make sure the back b...

Tony Meola

Bob

LOL

Ok got it.

Tony Meola

The old red cables I ripped out of my 75 worked and looked just fine. As long as they stay dry inside they should not have a problem.

Tony Meola

As usual everything is a work of art.

Tony Meola

Ok, the picture of U V in a disco is disturbing.

I can picture it now, UV a white suite and his finger pointed in the air. Old JT has nothing on UV.

Tony Meola

It looks like the guages are a definate yes.

Bob, Robins egg blue, close to the color of JP's boat but he has the 315's.

Tony Meola

Bob

Thanks, I will install them.

Tony Meola

Ok, I am almost there on the repower. Going to drop it in and then finish up all the odds and ends. Easier that way. Besides I have overstayed my welcome where I am right now. So here is the question, all of the guages are in, tachs, oil, temp, volt. Cummins guages and I used the old panel. I need s...

Tony Meola

That looks like the top of Bob Lilco's head in the 6th picture. Lots of clean up. I have had good luck with soft scrub with bleach and use a very soft brush. I think this boat is beyond compound and was. Good luck guys. This is really a project boat, and beats the one that Tom purchased last year. T...

Tony Meola

They put a posting up a couple of months ago that had everyone's knickers all twisted. I believe they had a picture of JP's boat in their ad.

Copy of the 31 but I don't think anyone has seen one up close. Do a search and you probably will find the postings.

Tony Meola

Harry

You pretty much passed by the NJ contingent. JP and JJ are in Point Pleasant. Charlie is nearby in Brick. Others are about in the area.

Glad you love NJ, could you take some or our corrupt politicians out of hear with you?

Have a safe trip.

Tony Meola

UV

Great news.

Glad to hear you are going to be back to your old self again.

Tony Meola

Dug

Happy Birthday, but right now you are old by Huesso's standards. NOt sure who the baby of the group is.

Tony Meola

Bob

Impressive. You have given me ideas for when I tackle my interior.

Tony Meola

Nothing special about those fuses. Standard fuses you can buy in Hardware store. I had a couple on my 1975 31. Two for the bilge pumps, two for the engines. None protecting the feed to the DC circuite breaker panel. That was just a standard home panel also.

Tony Meola

Bob

I don't think anyone means any offense. Its just the guys being the guys. Busting as usually.

The problem is Timmy is in hiding so now everyone is starting to pick on each other.

Tony Meola

Bob We all like to see what you are doing. While it might not suit everyone's needs, I bet everyone on this board has taken one of your ideas from time to time. Besides, I like some of your ideas. Look at it this way, maybe reducing the shaft angle is not something we will do, but like hearing about...

Tony Meola

Bob

Really nice job. Looks real clean. I can not wait to see pictures of the overhead when you are done.
