John Thanks for the number and the offer to climb up on the Hound. I am going to have talk with the Cummins dealer tomorrow, since the boat is in his yard. Giff, right now I am light on the electonics draw, but I am planning for when the economy and my pocket book recover. I would love to add radar ...

Tony Meola

Thanks everyone great insite to what works. John Good to hear from you. Was wondering were you where hiding. I will give Chris a call. I am sure I can find him in the phone book. Getting the job doen but slowly. Work keeps getting in my way, but we are putting the push on to get this job done and th...

Nice fish. Must have been a great experience for the guy that caught it.

Tony Meola

Kevin & Bruce

Thanks

I thought that it might be overkill. I think I would rather have two house and two dedicated starting and then be able to Jump over if I need to.

Tony Meola

I am wondering how many batteries those that have repowered with diesels are using. We are about to start laying out the wiring for the repower with 270 Cummins. The Cummins dealer is suggesting a put two group 31's to start each enginge and one for the house bank. His feeling is that while this is ...

Tony Meola

Looks like it didn't put any holes in the hull. The boat must have been built in NJ.

Tony Meola

Fred

Thank You for the offer. I never thought of checking out what you might be able to do. If I decide to go the expensive route again I will give you a call.

Tony Meola

Nice work. That Whaler really came up nice.

Tony Meola

Wow, really nice. It's going to be heart breaker to sell that one.

Matt & Glenn

Welcome to the site. I am sure you will find help with any questions you might have. If you are upgrading your boats and not sure about something. Ask, someone here has probably done it. If not, you will get a wealth of opinions.

Steve Thanks. First time I ever heard of them. I just spoke to an outfit at the AC boat show called Sharktested. They hand Costa's and Ocean Wave. Not sure exactly what the deal is but he said that they use a lab that uses the Costa lense's to make the prescriptions. I am going to have to call aroun...

Tony Meola

Dick, look at it this way, they could have been the Chryslers. At least they ar GM's and at the time they were built, they were the big blocks.

Tony Meola

Appreciate all the information. I am going to look around and probably give Charlies place a call and see what they have to say. Never really was a fan of clip ons but now that the eyes are geting older its harder and harder to get the good ones in my prescription.

Tony Meola

Greg

I will look for you on Saturday. Hopefully I don't have to work. Seems to be a weekend habit the past few months.

Tony Meola

Capt. Pat Given Bob's love for speed I figured he's typing at 200 miles an hour. Got to love it though. I actually enjoy reading about his methods. In fact I am looking at his companion way set up for my boat. I love the idea of no screws to hold the engine panels in place. That's why I said, great ...

Tony Meola

Greg

Nice shots. Are you headed to the AC Show? If I don't have to work, I am trying for Saturday. My wife's sister and her family want to join us.

Tony

Tony Meola

Bob

From what I can see, you have a great mechanical engineering background and really know your stuff. But I think your typing is killing Capt. Pat.

Tony Meola

Thanks guys. I will have to search around. I know of a place down on Long Beach Island that makes polarized clipons. Don't know how good they are band the place is only open in the summer. Which by my calculations is hopefully right around the corner. This winter is getting to be too long and we are...

Tony Meola

Capt. I have an old pair of black Nylon frames. If I remember right they were a sport frame, I would say almost an Aviator style. They don't make them anymore. Loved them, but I have heard stories of the lenses delaminating, that's why the question, otherwise I would have just purchased Costa's agai...

Tony Meola

I have been wearing Prescription Costa Del Mars for about 15 years and due to a new prescription its time for an update, plus its time to update those 15 year old frames they keep putting new lenses in. I am hearing that there are problems with Costa Del Mar's so I was wondering what those in the kn...

Tony Meola

Capt. Pat

Thanks takes one more worry of what I might have done wrong off my list. Trying to follow your pattern as best as possible.

Tony Meola

Capt. Pat never considered the shattering view point of a fiberglass pad when we did ours. Trying to move away from potential rot and figured if they did it at the factory today, they probably would have used galss of some type. But your point is well taken, and I am too far along to grind it out an...

Tony Meola

Bob I am amazed at what you learned from your racing days. I would assume that someplace in your back ground you learned engineering to understand all this stuff. While, for the normal boater, this may not be were we would put our money, its interesting to see and understand how everyone tweeks ther...

Tony Meola

Not sure if they ship overseas but you can also use 1/2 thick fiberglass sheet that you can order from Mcmastercarr. That's what we used.

Randall

This is truely amazing. My wife has picked up a couple of decorative decoys over time and I allways thought that was an art. But you blow them all away.

I agree with JP you are one of the most talented guys in the world.

Tony Meola

Huesso

You are killing us. Boat looks great. In fact everything looks great.

Tony Meola

To think from one of the highest quality boats to just a below average boat living on its reputation.

Tony Meola

Guys, guys, guys. Go easy. Harry and I said it, no matter which way you go on this, outboards or Diesels you are in this for 60 or better. I say better and others here will agree. The cheapest way out is to dropped in a new pair of big blocks. But lets put that aside and lets look at targeted specie...

Tony Meola

Without blinking an eye, you will be spending 60 even with the recons. Also depends on what you want to do your self. I got a great deal on new shafts, but by the time I am done, I bet its closer to $70. Hell new bolts and screws have cost me more than $500. Then throw in the well while I am here I ...

Tony Meola

I have a question, as I am not really familiar with Pistols. But I have hunted in my day and have a couple of shotguns. For your average Joe, who just wants home protection, wouldn't a shot gun be a better choice than a pistol. Might screw up you plaster but gives the average guy who is not adept at...

Tony Meola

Brian

Welcome. You can also go over to the Bertram 25 site to see what they have done to some of those boats to bring them up to date. There are some that are real sweet and once redone, will probably be better than what is built today.

Tony Meola

The cummins dealer that is hooking up my engines is also a Volvo dealer. This summer he just had to replace a IPS drive out of Point Pleasant that was destroyed by electrolysis. He told me he can't wait to see one that shears off and someone has to drag the thing home on the safety coil they attach ...

Tony Meola

Charlie

Sorry to hear about the accident. Thank God they are ok, unfortunately they probably will have a couple of scars.

Tony Meola

Sim Glad to here she was ok. I lost some former co-workers in that disaster. I saw what it was like for someone to try and get their head back on straight after something like that. In 1993, a friend of mine's wife had just parked her car on the same level as the Van that they used to try and blow u...

Tony Meola

Harry

Dreams keep us going.

If you do it you would own two classics.

Tony Meola

Harry Its worht it if you love Mahogany boats and the work that goes with them. Great Fresh water boat because as you know the salt just will kill that engine. Not sure what year this boat was built but I know that Flat head 6 by heart. One of my fathers first ventures into boats was an old 18' Chri...

Tony Meola

I'm in also.

Tony Meola

Guys

Happy New Year. May 09 be all that we hope for.

Tony Meola

Harv

By the looks of that woman you are not big enough.

Tony Meola

UV

Glad to hear you are ok. Your abscence was noted and believe me its not the same without your posts. Glad to hear all is well and hopefully 09 will be a better year.

Tony Meola

Greg

I guess I will catch you in the spring. Enjoy Costa Rica. I am still shooting for May. Should make it if comes early and the weather holds.

Tony Meola

Greg How is it going? Hope you had a good holiday. I swung by the boat about two weeks ago but you were buttoned up tight. I was just down there today. Horrible day, damp and foggy with a an on and off mist. I had to fix my rube goldberg frame we made for the shrink wrap, so John can finish up his w...

Tony Meola

I know on 75FBC, once had all the bottom paint stripped off the strut, they had Bertram stamped on them. It was pretty clear. I don't know if the older models were marked that way.

Tony Meola

Sure beats the 100 mile runs we make to the canyons.

One of these days I will pay Puerto Rico a visit.

Tony Meola

Everyone, have a happy & healthy. To to the good Capt. who makes this all happen, I hope Santa brings you everything you have ever wished for.

Tony Meola

Harv

Apperently you live a sheltered life.

Its to keep you from falling in and getting lost.

Tony Meola

Note to Al Gore, its not climate change, its called Winter.

Tony Meola

Jk, My condolences. Our prayers are with you.

Tony Meola

Harry
Not the rocker stopper thing again.

Tony Meola

Sean

I think you are just feeling sensitive this week. No one is picking a fight. Just getting a little fiesty is all this is.

Now, send Capt. Pat is $20 before he picks a fight. LOL
