Yep, I know, however, when I redo a Bert, I close in all holes, including those. Soooo, right now I have no holes anywhere. With the lead time being several months, I need to put some cleat system up there until the chock comes in. The save would be if someone had a trashy one I can powdercoat and u...

I'll fire one out today. Anyone have an old crappy one they can sell me so I don't have to put extra holes in my boat???

I install my tanks with 1/4" by 1" wide strips on the bottom of the tank in order to allow air and/or water flow. They are welded to the tank and also serve as attachment flanges on the tank pad. Additionally, I put angle brackets on the top of the tank that extend to the stringers. This is similar ...

Hey Timmay, this island house I rented has internet, so I'm here to harass you. First things first, I'm buying a property here-it's amazing.

Figures, the one time I have to deal with somethign at night, Timmy wants to bring another B31 guy to the shop for some boozing and I cannot accomodate them. Day-um boy, I need more notice!!!

It's the size/power provisions in the DAS permitting system that drove almost all the dayboats out of the biz. The reason nmfs gives for the 15% provision is pegged to larger boats and the unfortunate by-product of that was teh destruction of the dayboat fisheries. From nmfs' standpoint, the conspir...

CMP

Walt's right-Bio-bore is a good idea to get going, but be sure you carry at least a 5 gal jug of diesel and a few pairs of filters. Spend the $$$ on a fuel analysis at the same time so you can have a differential diagnosis on what the core issue is, but I bet Walt hit it...

No worries Randall. When Vic continually slams things about which he has little or no practical experience, the other side can be put forth, without name-calling and fits of pique, even with a little humor injected. When my opinion about Yanmars was assailed, I backed off because it was just that, m...

CMP

Vic, you just can't help yourself can you? You denegrate new things without the benefit of understanding them. Faithful, pity him and his new-phobia. Don't give him the benefit of an explanation for said pity. 900 units in the field without a failure so far, Vic. Yep, real junk . You just don't get ...

LOL-thanks Peter, I read your post and my hair still hurts! I also spoke with some naval architect folks I know locally and they concur with your numbers. Add that to the fact that the boat tends to run bow high anyway and I'm moving 2/3's of the fuel fwd of the COG by 18 inches...

CMP

CMP

The published COG on a Hard top B25 with 165's is 16'5" aft of the bow. My thought to properly distribute the weight of 190 gallons of fuel is to straddle this COG, with one tank aft and one tank forward of it. However, this leaves me with a huge amount of dead space forward. I can use it, but I'm w...

Well, John, how DARE you interject what appears to be objective observation into the discussion?!? LOL! I have run the IPS system on 2 different boats and may get a shot at running the Z next month.
