Bob That explains it. The ones I got a quote on would have come out of Mack Boring and they were not mechanicals. Thought something was amiss with the quote I received. Plus when I made my decision and signed on with the Cummins dealer, there were no good Yanmar Reps down my way. The one they had at...

Is that coosa board held in by the wood shims? Looks like it.

When I priced the 315's before I bought the Cummins, price was like 23 a piece then I had to buy the gauges, it was not a package. I was going ot be close to 50 without gears. The 42 you got them for sounds really cheap.

Tony Meola

Bob

Would love to see the pics when that job is done.

Tony Meola

Bob That is with the wiring harness and gauges no gears. Gears are about $3,500 more. I checked around, a couple of other dealers wanted 2 to 3 more for the same engine. I figured if one of the other board members purchased his off of another dealer just north of me for around the same price, I was ...

Tony Meola

My recon Cummins 270's paid for March 2008 came in at $17,745 a piece so you need to figure in a slight price increase. I know one of the other board members purchased the same engines off of another dealer ab out a year before me and his numbers came in about the same. So figure 18 today and add ab...

I agree with Kevin. Be carefull. It might be stolen and or used for illegal purposes. Several years ago a friend of mine sold his boat and abut two years later he got a call from the authorities in Florida that they found the boat abandoned in the marsh's and they wanted to know why he dumped it the...

Nice job. Looks real clean and like it was always there.

I am sure Bruce will jump in and provide the best advice. Don't know much about all the differant models of Volvos, other than they can be expensive when it comes to parts. I have friends with Volvos in their boats and they really like them until they have to buy parts.

Tony Meola

Bob I have not had a chance to look at the site for a few days. I just got done with a long weekend the was made up of my 40th high school reunion. So I did not see your post. But as Andre said, your posts are always helpfull even if no one says anything. So here is my question, did you get the stai...

Did you try running juice right to the horn, bypassing the switch. I would think that would tell you if the horns are bad. My Ongaro's have been sitting for two years while I was repowering. Now I am wondering if they are going to work.

Tony Meola

I think some on this board will tell you to stay away from SP. A couple of the members had bad experiences with them.

Try Patriot down in Forked River. I have seen their work. They made a tank for a 31 that is in the same yard I am. They even had it powder coated.

The overboard side needs to be locked so it can not be open as long as you are in Federal waters. Once you go beyond the boundries you can unlock it and pump overboard. If the Coast guard boards you they will check to make sure that valve is not open and can not be opened.

Tony Meola

Walter

Will Do. Thanks.

Don't know if I over looked it but I did not see a number or website for Cosmo.

Tony Meola

Bob Really nice. Since I am coming down the home stretch of my repower and I am at the wiring hook up stage, I find all this really helpfull. I don't think I will ever get to your level of detail but I am trying get the most out of what I have and to make it all work better while creating the type o...

Bob

Nice well thought out. You took just about every step you could to prevent an electrical short causing a fire.

Tony Meola

Bob

Where did you find the room to put those breaker panels? If I had to guess they look like they might be in the vberth or under the table in the cabin.

Tony Meola

My in-laws neighbor owns a farm here in NJ and in Georgia. He told me that right now there is a large corn surplus and there has been a big drop in grain prices, they are only selling grain and corn right now to cover farming costs. So while ethanol drove up the prices early on, the economy has take...

"I actually watched his bow nosedive and the stern just swung around 180 degrees."

Now that's a hard hit.

That's the soft NJ mud. The bottom is mostly soft mud back in those bays. If you hit a clam bed, the shells will chew the prop up pretty fast.

I think its pretty hard down by Kevin.

I never counted mine and I am not at the boat, but mine has the following:

2 tachs
2 volt meters
2 oil gauges
2 water temp
2 start buttons
1 horn button

By the way they are called Hollywood dash panels.

Tony Meola

I know you never have enough. But I figure that gives me six in the gunnels and then I can run one long down the center off a holder on the railing on the bridge.

Tony Meola

Its bad when it happens you don't know who did it, but someone you know even kids, its a shame. You would think kids you know would look out for you especially if you haven't bothered them.

Nice fish. By the way, looks like your 31 has a sister 31 in the next slip.

Tony Meola

Bob

Thanks, that is along the lines I was thinking. I looked at your earlier picture and now its clear.

Tony Meola

Looks like 15it is. Thanks everyone

Tony Meola

I am looking to put two rod holders in my tansom. I remember a post about this sometime back but can not find it. I was wondering what fits better the 15 degree or o degree angle holder? Do they stick out past the gunnell?

Tony Meola

Bob

Any suggestions for making the gutter system? Are you using 1/2 plywood glassed in or are you using something else like Coosa Board?

Tony Meola

Bob

Thanks. So wht you are doing is basically forcing all of the water to run to the stern and out.

Tony Meola

Bob After seeing the pictures of your work, I am sure that there are more than two of us who really enjoy seeing your work. Actually I enjoying seeing everyone's ideas, even if I am not going to do the exact same thing. It gives us all ideas that we can adapt to our wants and needs. That's why no tw...

Be happy it peeled off. I hate the idea of blasting. Did that once. Probably should do it again but really hate the thought. I would barrier coat though. At this stage whats another weekend and a few hundred dollars more. Then you know its right. Put on an ablative and be done with it.

Tony Meola

Bob

Any chance you have a picture or can describe the collector box. Sounds interesting.

Randall thanks I got it and I like the velcro idea.

Tony Meola

Randall

I take it that you glued the velcro to the deck and the bottom of the panel, then the panel sat on top of the velcro? Sounds pretty unique.

Bob,

I am assuming you are using any type of trim at the bottom and just leaving it natural as it hits the deck?

Tony Meola

Bob

Would love to see and hear more.

Tony Meola

Giff Not to steal your thread, but I have a question for those that have done this. How do you secure the bottom so it doesn't vibrate or move around? On my old set up, there was a piece of wood that was screwed down to the deck and then the bottom of the panes crewed into that with the teak strip a...

My 454's that I just took out had 3 inch going up to 5 inches. Strange I know.

Tony Meola

Bruce Unfortunately, Florida looks like it is going to become a ghost state. However, the good news is, if our friends in Washington remain calm, the Stock market may stay stabile. It looks like it found the bottom but anything can cause this market to come apart. If this market can hold its own for...

What a shame. Richard is a class act. Really nice guy. I hope he lands on his feet.

Capt. Pat

Thanks. I have some fiberglass left over from the repower, I will cut a piece of that up and epoxy it down.

Tony Meola

I am going to install a third bilge pump between the engines right behind the cabin bulkhead and I was wondering what is the best material to use as a mounting base?

I really don't want to use plywood. I was wondering what everyone has used for a block.

Tony Meola

Ask Patriot about Powder Coating. They used to have a Powder Coater as a Neighbor. Not sure he is still in the same complex. When I was going to use him back in July, they temporarily had a lock on the door. Seems there was a tax problem with the state. Might be open again, so ask.

Tony Meola

Glenn Be carefull with plastic tanks. I don't think they put baffles in them and over 100 gallons you will need baffles. Check out Ronco plastics. http://www.ronco-plastics.net/ They build custom plastics tanks. Some are OEM. Give them a call. I am not sure if they build fuel tanks but they may be a...

Tony Meola

Now you guys have me curious. I have to check my neew 270 cummins this weekend. They came through with a manual oil change option. There is a hand pump right on the engine. The dealer says, it works like a charm and it was a cheap option. I think it was only something like $20. I am hoping the hose ...

If you are near Portland Maine and need to enteryin the kids, shoot over to Old Orchard Beach. The hve rides for the little ones. A little honky tonk but for kids its fine.

Tony Meola

The cost of a new 31 would have to be higher than a new CABO. The only way it would be competative is if they found a way of building the mold so the tumblehome allowed them to pop the hull out of the mold easier.
