Russ-
Nothing that enough weight won't push down!

When you open the hatch to your livewell, is there a lip that extends outboard and under the covering board?

jspiezio

Faithful, I was thinking about getting off the New Jersey Turnpike at the junction of 87 and going all the way up to Albany on the West side of the Hudson River then to the Mass Pike. Pete Fallon Pete, I have done this route several times, it is very very easy. You will have no problems passing thr...

Super cool plane, but the carbon fiber construction scares the piss out of me. CF is strong as hell, until it isn't.

Can it be run to the port and pulled out by them?

That was my thought as well/

Good luck and get that knee done right this time!

Starboard pyrometer was a little flaky on Sunday. Started out fine, but at the end of the day would show no exhaust temp with intermittent accurate readings. Any suggestions before digging around. Engines are Yanmar 315.

Marlin, knowing what you know now, would it have been feasible to modify the pilasters to make them wider? My thought is if you moved the inboard wall of the pilaster inward toward centerline even a 1/4", but 1/2" is better, you would have greatly increased the size of the opening at the base and gi...

OB31- If you mean this mounted centerline at the base of the transom, https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRXcgO-GlqO4U0slkvr7N35OzCRrMGKkprlItko6LLbBUjnFVy4nQ then the answer is yes. All our boats have these so they can drain when on the hard. The lack of deck boxes will turn off s...

Carl and Mark, you are both saying what I was trying to say , but more clearly than I could. i mean, man that is a lot of leverage hanging over the side of the boat having a lot of force applied. Can you imagine the S%*t show that would ensue if the anything ever let loose on that? Hole in the hull?...

jspiezio

That boat is beautiful and looks like a lot of fun. That bench across the transom is really sweet for a run across the bay to the beach or a little cocktail cruise. The workmanship is outstanding, and the boat really is lovely to look at. I have a question about something that you said, you dropped ...

jspiezio

Keith- I onderstand what you are trying to do, and it sounds like it might mork. A couple of thoughts; I am assuming that the lower guide will be placed right at the chine and thru bolted, is that correct? - the guides need to be properly backed and the hull reinfoced in those area. especially the l...

I would recommend Moreland Hose here in New York, http://www.morelandhose.com/. They are the best that I know of around. Look in the online catalogs and give a call. They make up hoses all the time, so with some measurements and photos you could very easily get the exact hose you need and not screw ...

jspiezio

Doubt you will find it, but a definition of that screw would be a slotted pan head, ACME thread. Not sure I have ever seen an ACME thread that small. BTW ACME threads are STRONG lol. Capable of withstanding very high loads without stripping. Exactly. McMaster Carr might have it. If not then Google ...

Tony- the water is absolutely higher since Sandy went through. Not even a question, I have finger docks under water at high tide that were never before and many of the Village of Babylon bulkhead mounted signs are under water at high tide when they were not before. The question is only whether the b...

Scot- Kevin is spot on with Tef-Gel. I would go one step further, in NAVAIR items and in most other aviation items we insulate dissimilar metals with a good two part epoxy primer. The most common primer used is to the mil-spec MIL-P-23377, it is a yellow or green two part zinc-chromate primer. But I...

Great boat, and a great spot. I want to cruise Georgian Bay and the North Channel in the future.

jspiezio

Dug, On our small Boston Whalers I have installed Armstrong ladders. Love them. I have seen them on larger boats too like the size of our 31's. The small bracket would bolt on the transom. The ladder is by far the easiest way to get up and into a boat. http://www.armstrongnautical.com/ladders.htm N...

Is it just me or does the host of that video have serious issues? Good grief, dude acts like his grandmother died. Get over it. Somebody F'd up royally. We all do it.

what is the nearest airport ? Gert Gert, You would probably come into JFK on KLM. The trip from there is about 100 miles (175km I'm estimating), you can do it in a car or by train from JFK. If you plan on time in NYC first, then the train is actually an even easier way to get out to Greenport from ...

Keith- so so sorry to hear of your loss. You and family are in tboughts and prayers, stay strong and keep up the exceptional work that you do, it is a testament to your mom that she raised such an upstanding and outstanding man.

jspiezio

Keith, is that going across the transom?
A little coosa board and some 5200 and you're all set up! It will make a unique swim platform as well.

I agree with you the NYC thugs would not have wasted that much time turning it over, they would have stripped it down right on the spot.

Absolutely

That's a shame she was a beauty, is he bringing up the 31? What was the extent of the damage, based on your comments I guessing the motors were under water and landed on the running gear? Lot's of fiberglass damage? I enjoyed looking at her every time I went out... Peter- The hull is essentially un...

jspiezio

Looks like Insurance will total my dad's Blackfin. Buy back cost is $10,000. The question is- how much do you think engines and running gear will be? Then, Cummins or Yanmar? Remans or new? Or, should he just let her go and get a smaller boat?

Bob, I heard that Isacksen flipped there crane into the drink last weekend. The # I heard quoted by Bay to set their own crane then lift out the one in the drink was $100,000+. This is all hear say but I'll bet it's not too far off, and if anything on the low side.
