I paint my rudders but not my props. I do not get enough hours on the boat overall and end up with little bitty barnacles. I looked into propspeed this past fall and it was SERIOUS money. Even the yard didn’t think it was worth it.. So, I applied nothing. Maybe next year I’ll remember I have some of...

Rick,

Polycarbonate is awesome. You do need to be careful cleaning it as it scratches more easily. But its super clear and I love mine!

Dug

Dug

Very cool Bob! I owe you a catch up phone call soon!

Dug

Good luck my friend. Come visit here in the future. Tough day for sure.

Dug

Dug

Daniel, yep, Greg’s the one!!! Sweet isn’t it?

And yes Gil was a very good friend. I miss him a lot. I am glad you guys connected back in the day. He loved his 30CC.

Dug

Windshield is not, I repeat NOT glassed in!

Dug

DanielM I have a friend who turned one of those into an express. F’ing GORGEOUS lines!!!!!! Nice boat my friend!

Dug

Pete, call Skip Helme and ask him about Wahine. If you are going to buy one already done, she should be the one. Its a beautiful example of a 31. Twin 250 Cummins, forward windows, Ns really, really clean. Www.BSBW.com. Or his office # is:401-847-0321 and his wife Nancy may answer the phone. Please ...

Dug

Juanjo, Captain Pat got his from Bobby Soles Prop. I hope that helps.

Dug

100%!!! Its been a year. But there has been plenty of good to go with all the adjustments in our world. Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Years!!!!!

Dug

Check with Danforth on renew cost.

Dug

Stay with Rupp. They are the best. Good deal on the other progress!!!

Dug

I like Fusion stereo’s and Bose speakers. But I’m not a wakeboarder.

Dug

Wits End is owned by Jeff Pagano, an amazing guy who lives out on LI. Two great kids. Terrific they were having fun!!!

Dug

Spectacular!!! Thank you!!!!

Dug

I’m with Mike. Run.

Dug

So pretty!

Dug

So sorry Vince. You are welcome aboard Alchemy anytime.

Dug

Tony, Congratulations on your purchase! I think you will be happy and hope it gives you years of good service! Couple things to share that you probably all know already. Raymarine is owned by FLIR. FLIR’s work best with their displays. This may have changed, but I have a friend who had a FLIR on his...

Dug

Carl, they are struggling for sure. I've been favoring Jamestown distributors big time followed by Amazon believe it or not. But even the latter can be spotty... I ordered some things to be delivered to CT, and no ship for over a week. I cancelled and reordered to send to MA and had them next day.

Dug

Carl, that's a long term conversion! You clearly plan thoroughly and well in advance!! I am thrilled for you!!!

Dug

Crazy! I am glad all are ok, including the boat! Wow she's had a heck of a year! Maybe time to get a big set of air horns!!!

Dug

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

Dug

Carl,

I am completely thrilled for you!!! It sounds like the repower has become a resounding success!!! I know the feeling. And the boss is tuned in to all the good, fun and accurate things!!! Cant ask for better. Enjoy my friend! Now go burn some fuel!!!

Dug

Tony, fact. And the stuff is completely throw away. And it breaks. Easily. I kiss my radar at least once a year. But the FLIR is a close second. First one was replaced under warranty at year 2, and just died again. On to my second one. Its that useful. But goddamn... You are right about mortgages.

Dug

Mark, did you end up as a proud new owner??????

Dug

Tony truly you cannot go wrong with either. I have older Raymarine (crazy as its only 4 years old now!!!) and I use chart, radar and FLIR more than anything else. Both are good units and will serve you well.

Dug

While I am king of puttering vs using...you gotta do it!!! I cannot wait to hear how it goes!!!! And I want to see pictures of the ear to ear grin!!!

Dug

Whats the boat Mark? Old School?

Dug

We may have encountered a world class prankster here... he may just be ######' with us. Or he's world class level not listening. Its been said about me in the past, a fool and his money are easily parted.

Dug

I agree with Todd 100%. That's what I was trying gently to tell you. Now I'm feeling a bit less gentle. You will do whatever you are going to do. But you will be MUCH better off NOT BUYING A PROJECT BOAT. Always. Especially one that size. Buy a really awesome, well cared for, meticulous 37', and enj...

Dug

Hey guys, such a tough topic... We here at Lutco are essential industry. Dad wants to be the man at 75 yrs old and still come to work every day. Its immensely frustrating. We have a lot of/all employees scared but glad to have jobs. Its no fun. We are cleaning professionally as well as sanitizing on...

Dug

Art, What your talking about sounds like a heck of an adventure. But its a BIG deal and a REAL PROJECT. Serious money. Don’t take shortcuts, its not worth it. Good luck if you decide to proceed, but know a boat, even more a big one like the 37 is going to make your ca experience look like Childs pla...

Dug

OMG!!!! Serious????? Holy s#$t!!!!!!

Dug

Chanse, HAHAHA!!! As for Wahine, she has not has haddow replacement that I know of. She is owned by Skip Helme who owns Brewer St. Boatworks. He and his crew did all the work on my restoration of my Alchemy, along with many others. He has rarely spared anything to keep her well maintained. He does n...

Dug

I will admit I did this... Years ago I was trying to either paint or gelcoat my bilge. Weeks in a row I had cleaned and prepped the bilge surface only to come back too paint it and find it had rained and water was there. I got annoyed and drilled. Not a 1" hole, more like 1/8" or less but a hole reg...

Dug

You would be much better off buying this and transporting it to you. You will spend much less... https://www.bsbw.com/Pre-owned-Inventor ... 4?ref=list

I want to wish my friends here a relaxing and happy Thanksgiving!

Mizerata, I have a friend who would like to ask you a couple questions about seating! Could you contact me?

Thanks!

Don,

Custom Fiberglass Repair or Brewer Street Boatworks in Newport!

Very nice!

Dug

Keep in mind TSL is only using AC while underway. Not at the dock. I have AC but only run it at the dock when connected to shore power as I don't have a genset. As Mike said up here I generally don't think its needed particularly when under way vs. down south or the jungles of Panama! Never thought ...

Dug

I have the pump system and it was very smart money spent. Bruce is right, maybe a min per engine to drain! I LOVE the idea of stabbing the filter to drain!!! Brilliant!!!

Dug

Love it!!!!

Dug

Tropic Star is running their ac units off the serpentine engine belt on the port motor. Truck style. I don't know that its reverse cycle and hence only produces cooling, but still pretty cool! Literally...

Dug

Cool! I ordered Juniors!

I'm actually pretty excited! Over a bilge pump switch...

Dug

I thought so. Thank you!

Now, brass tacks...

Senior? Junior? Mini?

Dug

Hi all,

I'm looking for a recommendation for a more reliable switch than Rule. As I recall Captain Pat had strong opinions on this topic.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Dug
