That is pretty cool. I have a length of 3/4 left from my bulkhead job, I might see if that will bend as well as the 1/2 inch. Have nothing to loose.

By the way, whose clamps are you using, I want to buy stock in that company. LOL

Tony Meola

Capt pat nice. I can understand how you get the shape for the base, but how did you get the bend in top part. Looks like its at least 3/4 Coosa and I would not think that would bend too easily.

Tony Meola

Looks like the diesel and one other are at Holtz. I wonder if they were scheduled for a redo and with the economy everything came apart and Holtz inherited them?

Tony Meola

Capt. Pat

Is the piece behind the deck and the upright all Coosa or did you use other material. If its Coosa it looks like it takes to a router quite nicely.

Andy

I can see one happy little girl and many. memories in the making. Enjoy

Tony Meola

Now that is what a truck should look like. A real Beuty.

Andy

Nice looking boat. Lots of luck.

By the way, I see from your subject title, it looks liky you are a very smart man by taking the high rode and named it after your wife.

If thats not your wife's name no need to explain to us.

Enjoy

Don't worry the Mean Team will let you stay on the board. They will just put you in the same ranking as Timmy.

Bertram or Hatteras, doesn't matter, the older boats were built like tanks and should serve you well and both deserve their due respect.

Have a safe trip.

They really do not cool very well and on a hot day I don't think it will do the job. So before you drill any holes, stick the vent out the window and give it a try. If it works then figure out a good venting system.

Remember, any holes also let in cold are in the cooler seasons.

Tony Meola

Andy

That shelf looks like its gonig to crack through. Looks like its time for a new shelf.

Tony Meola

Huesso Your a kid. Look at all you have to look forward too. You can call Walter Raleigh and I once you cross 30 years on the old girl. We will all have a drink together. Granted, we may be in wheel chairs but you should still be walking. Harry I know, frustrating feeling. I get the same questions. ...

Tony Meola

This jsut restores my faith in the Government. LOL

Tony Meola

Ours is a 75 my father bought her knew in August of 75. I still remember picking her up. Back in 75 there were very few boats that could run with her on flat calm day. So we are coming up on 34 years. Greg, I was looking for you. By the way, we used fiberglass exhaust tubes as much as possible so ve...

Harry

Great lookingi skiff. I'll bet its a lot of fun with that 25 on the back end.

Enjoy, nothing like tooling around in a classic.

Tony Meola

Bob

Don't forget to post Pics. Would love to see how it works out for you.

Tony Meola

Charlie and JP

Based on your comments and if DMV doesn't know the answer, then I guess ignorance is bliss. I will just change the registration to diesel and let er rip.

What is the worst they can do, impound a boat that has hull numbers that matches the registration and title. I doubt it.

Tony Meola

I went down to the DMV up here in North Jersey yesterday to ask them what I needed to provide them in order to change the boat registration from Gas to Diesel. They really were not sure and the lady behind the desk said to me that in the 38 years she has worked there no one has ever asked her that. ...

Tony Meola

Bob Believe it or not I actually new that when I made my decision. The differance in fuel burn was not enough to make me go increase my cost and future maintenance. I figure if all goes well I will get offshore maybe 5 times a summer the rest will be inshore, so the burn difference should not really...

Tony Meola

Bob I realize we have had this discussion before, and I know you did one heck of job getting Phoenix finally tuned, but for those of us that can live with a couple of knots either way, the extra 10 grand for the pair of Cummins the next size up, plus the extra money to redo the exhausts (I was lucky...

Tony Meola

JP's right. Unless he wants to spend the night on the hook, then there is nothing prettier than anchoring up behind Barnegat light in Myers whole and watching the sun set.

Tony Meola

Like the dealer who sold me my 270 Cummins said to me, if this was Florida and not NJ then I would tell you to go with the 330's.

Just look at what JP and Brewster have said, up here in the Norhteast the days to use the full potential of the larger engine are rare.

Tony Meola

Greg Not sure were you can get that cheap, but if you want, you can take a look at mine to see what type they used. Depending on the weather and the fathers day plans, I should be on the boat at least part of the day Saturday possibly all day and at least Sunday morning. My wife and her sisters have...

Tony Meola

John

I am sure Capt. Pat or Bruce will jump in but I just had the 270's installed in my 75. Replaced the 454's, the Cummins dealer had a special elbow made up so it would fit.

I am not sure but you may also want to check with Tony Athens at Boat diesel.com to see if he has one already made up.

Tony Meola

Capt. Pat.

Pretty slick. I like the channel for the edge of the deck to sit in. You seems to think of everything.

Tony Meola

Capt. Pat

Thanks I was wondering if you ripped it all out. Another use for that left over Coosa board I have.

Ryder

Looks great, nice and clean.

Tony Meola

Ok now you guys are getting a little carried away. Its hard enough to tell something is back. Now you guys start drawing anatomical pictures. I am with Charlie, unless you are Huesso who was there, there is no way you tell all that. Huesso, make sure the oil is not foaming. Foam in the oil means wat...

Tony Meola

Capt Pat. When you glass in the sides so the water all runs out the scuppers, do you trim down the outside stringers the 1/2 or 3/4 inch so its all level with the transome support or do you just level the shelf to the outside stringer? From the picture it looks like you may have trimmed it down then...

Tony Meola

Sim

On a summer weekend in NJ you can throw common sense out the window. They don't have any. They all think they are still driving on the Garden State Parkway.

Tony Meola

Looks like my 270's.

6BT = Turbo

6BTA = Turbo aftercooled

You will find that Cummins uses this block for a whole series of their engines. I believe it starts with the 210 like Walter has and moves up inton the high 300 to 400 HP range.

Tony Meola

JP I am not saying I did not learn anything. This is the 3rd time I ran through a course of some type. Unfortunately the prior ones were too old to use for the license. Like a lot of the people here we have all been on the water a long time. I am far from an expert. I would never put my boating know...

Tony Meola

I want the dog that drags the shark to the beach. That has to be one nasty dog.

By the way speaking of Timmy, is he around? He has not commented on this or anything else for a while.

Tony Meola

Harv Do we need to give you our condolences on having Dick as a passenger? Neil The course is a joke. It's a money making scam for the State and whomever has there hands in this. There is no way a new boater can take this course and then be turned loose with the thought that they now know what they ...

Tony Meola

JP

Great Pics. I know the kids will remember this one forever. It's always great for a kid to win a prize for the biggest fish.

Tony Meola

Actually there seems to be quite a bit of room in there. Its just a matter of snaking the wire up. If you have a wire coming out you can use that one as the snake.

If not its tough. I try and keep one loose wire in there so I can pull a new wire through.

Tony Meola

Dick

Doesn't Harv have his Capt's Lic? If he does he is good to go in any State waters.

Tony Meola

Bill

I just put a Charles on mine so I can not say how good it is but I know a lot of people who swear by Guest.

Tony Meola

Harv

Glad to here all is well. Here is hoping for you speedy recovery.

Tony Meola

Harry

He knew what you were thinking. LOL

Tony Meola

Drifter Playing with the fuel pump will boost the HP but be carefull. You might need to do something with the aftercooler or the turbo. Like I said one thing leads to another. Like I said earlier, my dealer said the 270 got the higher HP from the pump. The pressure on the bosh is higher than on the ...

Tony Meola

Bob

Thats why I got the 270. Less problems.

Tony Meola

Bob Seems like a lot of changes to just get 20 HP. You would have thought that with all of those changes it would have been more than 20,HP but then the after cooler is only Fresh water cooled. I had two people who know a lot about the Cummins say the 20 was in the pump. Then went on to say cool dow...

Tony Meola

Not sure how they get the other 10 on that one. Maybe Bruce knows, but at the price of a pump, 10 Hp is not worth the dollars.

Tony Meola

Dug Never met Tred but I know several people who knew him. I always enjoyed his articles in Sportfishing and I wish him all the luck in the world and if he is half the fighter I heard he is, he will hopefully overcome this tragedy. Just a thought but rather than flood him with emails at this time, i...

Tony Meola

UV The difference between the 250's and the 270's is that the 270's have the Bosch fuel pump which boosts the HP. I just had the discussion with the Cummins dealer doing my job. He just rebuilt a couple of 250's for his boat and we got on the discussion of the difference's. I asked him why he wouldn...

Tony Meola

Bob,

As usuall a work of art. You are going to give the Capt. a run for his money.

Tony Meola

Really, really nice. Better than new, that is the best part.

Tony Meola

If anyone has an old Dytek Temp guage and needs a new probe, the dealer below has 8 of them for sale.

Nice job, they look really nice.

Tony Meola

Harry

I bet Capt. Pat could figure out how to squeeze that into one of our engine box's.

Tony Meola

Bob

Looking Good
