I always had white shrink wrap. not clear.

Joseph Fikentscher

Shrink Wrap should be vented to avoid overheating and those hanging water vapor separator things should be put in a few places underneath.

The green paint tray worked great. Not sure where to get red ones though. I have seen red see through tape stuff at Autozone to repair a broken car taillight.

Joseph Fikentscher

Nice!

Thanks Carl, The first couple of days in ICU were tough, but after that Im feeling better every day. Lots of walking. Should have a full Dr's release by August with no restrictions. Looks like I'll make the fall run of kings and grouper.

Joseph Fikentscher

Sounds like a fun day. Remember, the Bertram will take more abuse than you can, but safety is the key. And I am sure yours was the prettiest boat out there. Im missing the spring fishing season down here in Southport. Just had bypass surgery about a week and a half ago. Dr won't clear me for three m...

I also use the Windy app on my iPhone.

Joseph Fikentscher

Don't know what model they are, but I used them on my 25 on the bridge. Removed the base and bought pedestals to fit. Worked great. best thing was only $25/chair on Craigs List.

Joseph Fikentscher

Just thinking, you could build a form on the pilot house and pour a thickened mixture that would self level. I used AZEK leveled with thickened epoxy on my electronics tower to mount it level. used the same procedure on the mahogany for the bridge seat bases. https://www.instagram.com/p/BVKFhs_hadx/

That's my old boat. I was going to put a shelf (by shelf I mean a mounting block attached to the stringer) just behind the rudder shelf and low enough to connect to the tie bar. I saw a pic on here from Keith Poe that showed how he connected the ram to the tie bar on his 31. Basically weld a fixture...

Joseph Fikentscher

You can get shims to straighten them up.or make your own out of AZEK.

Well, I loved my 25. 318 Chryslers with V-Drives. Great sea boat. Never used the lower station so I removed it. Sad that I had to sell it. I'll get another someday.

Joseph Fikentscher

Cam,

Was out Tuesday in Southport. Beautiful day.

Joseph Fikentscher

Mount the gauges on a panel you can see under by your feet/legs and use that space for a MFD with engine display when needed. you can then change between engines, chart, and fish finder. If that fails you can open the gauge panel for engine information.

Joseph Fikentscher

Symmetrical

Very nice!!

Cam,

She's a thing of beauty!!!

Joseph Fikentscher

I have this, works great.

We moved in to our new house in Southporton hurricane day, No damage at our house. we are about a half mile from the river walk and 3 blocks from water but at a bit of an elevation. A waterspout turned into a tornado on Bald Head Island and moved across to Southport and on to the marina. The damage ...

Joseph Fikentscher

Hey Cam, looks like we will be settling in Southport. Will be looking for a marina for the boat.

Joseph Fikentscher

Going crazy with the move. Boxing and Packing. Moving the boat to storage tomorrow. Will move it down to NC when I get an address (buy a house).

Movers come on Thursday, Closing on Friday then into the car for the drive to NC.

Looking at the Shallotte Inlet area, Southport, Beaufort, etc.

Joseph Fikentscher

Can't wait till next year.

We have sold our house in NJ and are going to move to the area between Beaufort and Wilmington. No plans yet but we are leaving on Friday 7-24-20.

Looking forward to the boat being hauled down and hopefully can make next years shindig.

Joseph Fikentscher

coil. degrades as heated, after cooling ok again.

Joseph Fikentscher

Cam,

I'll be down there soon. But I do not know how to sew!

Joseph Fikentscher

I have one.

Joseph Fikentscher

They look to be like the front window adjusters on my 25.

Joseph Fikentscher

Looking good Tom!!

Joseph Fikentscher

I heard Mercury will be picking up the service slack. Not sure if that is true, but.....

Also, your boat looks BEAUTIFUL!!!.

Joseph Fikentscher

I rolled without tipping on my Bridge. Came out great. Left it one coat short since I will be doing the entire top area soon and I can make the last coat look seamless.

Joseph Fikentscher

Nice tuna!

Joseph Fikentscher

Great news Mark!! Good luck.

Joseph Fikentscher

With family in Va, Florida seems too far south. Im sure there is some good fishing in southern NC.

Joseph Fikentscher

Mark, A lifelong friend owns Broadcreek Boatworks in Wanchese and also owns the boat Kahuna from Wicked Tuna. Around there would be nice. But I think further south around the Wilmington area might be a better buy for the money. I don't need to be right on the water. Just need to be easy driving dist...

Joseph Fikentscher

Great numbers. 3-4mpg cruising! I get 1 at best. Maybe an outboard conversion is the ticket.

Joseph Fikentscher

Carl,

Thinking about North Carolina. I can save 10 grand/year in property taxes. And still be near or on the water.

Joseph Fikentscher

Happy day!!!

Joseph Fikentscher

If you have access to a welding set up or a welding guy, I have seen my machine shop guy tack weld a nut to the broken off bolt. Then with heat and a wrench he was able to back out the bolts from my transmission flange.

Joseph Fikentscher

Mark, I usually dock at Manasquan River club. Not sure if I am launching this year. need to do some work on the boat and also thinking of moving, downsizing. Kids are gone so I don't need a 4/5 bedroom home in a highly taxed state. I live in Wall (Manasquan mailing address) a few blocks behind Harpo...

Joseph Fikentscher

My engine box is in the middle. Used it to put in a seat back/rocket launcher. The wife has a seat and I can fish 4 more lines. https://www.facebook.com/enduranceb25/photos/a.616800715035182/2203541256361112/?type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/enduranceb25/photos/a.616800715035182/2211612102220...

Tim,

I believe Tom Whortmann from this site is in Arnold's also. He is re-doing his interior this year.

Joseph Fikentscher

25's are very popular in Australia.

Joseph Fikentscher

I used http://www.genuinedealz.com for my wire. Yes you can buy by the foot.

Joseph Fikentscher

My daughter lives in Portland OR. She has a view of Mt Hood and Mt St Helens from her apartment. Beautiful sights.

Joseph Fikentscher

Jim, I pass Robinson's just about every day. I'll have to stop in and say hi.

Joseph Fikentscher

Nice!!

Joseph Fikentscher

Carl,

I get to 4000 rpm. I believe that is the recommended max.
