Re: Anyone have any word on Pete Fallons knee surgery?

Pete emailed me and said it was ok to let you all know that his surgery went well and he is doing fine. He will update us all when he returns home. He promised me he will captain my boat and take me and his world famous surgeon fishing this coming summer.

Bought some carbon fiber Rupp outriggers last year before the white marlin open. Just last week I noticed that there was an unacceptable amount of motion at the joint between two of the sections.

prop question

Fishing Saturday, 30 miles offshore and shaft snaps and prop bangs off hull. Luckily 31's are a little thick in the fiberglass so we don't sink. When repowered with Yanmar 315's in 2004 they used 1 3/8 shafts. Probably not sufficient especially after reviewing previous posts. Moving up to 1.5 inch s...

Re: Anchor Chock adjustments and drama

Same thing happened to me with a new danforth. I didn’t want to move the chocks that hold the tips so we took a 2 by 4 wedged in between the flukes and a few well directed hammer blows spread them the perfect amount. No new holes in deck.

Interested in hearing about optimal battery placement from the guys. Under center hatch behind center of gravity/weight midpoint or outboard of engines behind weight midpoint or even further back and where? Plus/minus of each location. Mine is a Bahia Mar.
