So where are these spots??? Do share. :-D

I have been playing in 3-4ft of water in snake hill and steam boat but very few fish.

captbone

God bless. Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after t...

I am without words.

I never met you but grew to count on your insight, experience, and wisdom in the political forum.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

captbone

I found these.

I use Penn 9/0s but may pickup two of these Penn16VSX because it is not too bad.

Thank you

Babylon. I am looking for 6ft+ galvanized 1 inch thread rod.

Thank you

captbone

Hello.

I am replacing two deadman in my dock as they are rotted. Where can I get the galvanized rod to run from the dock to the buried pole? I have already dug it all up.

Thank you

Since your lefty go then the Stag is a good choice. They made a fine weapon. That stinks about the preban, here in NY we can own preban magazines and weapons and can import them.

captbone

Shop and buy a Preban colt from another state for similar price.

I would only buy a Stag if I was getting their left hand model.

Remove all the opening and fittings. Get all the fuel out that you can. Put kitty litter in it remove the last little trace of fuel and then let it air out of a couple days.

You nose is the best tester of fuel vapor.

captbone

I use these and love them. Very durable and hold 600ft of 1/2+ without a problem.

Dont give up your USCG license. At least do this. Its cheap and easy and will allow you to reactivate your license when you are ready if you want later on.

The law is visibility over distance. It is very difficult to measure and no one will know the difference. You cant go wrong with the brighter one but if my memory is still good boats over 20 meters need the brighter one. I previously looked into an LED replacement bulb but at $40 it was not worth it.

captbone

Thats the long term goal. I am thinking of mounting the chair on the end of a floating dock now for Snappers. We will have to get together over the summer. I bumped into ED in Hemlock Cove last season. I love Joe's California FBC to pilothouse conversion because it makes me less of a heretic. Hows y...

captbone

Thanks Ed. I got some Epoxy to seal the ends but I will surely take your advice for drilling. I will let it go grey gracefully.

captbone

Great insight thanks. Even the 1x4 are very heavy. Allers in Lindenhurst was great and even cut them for me.

captbone

Pete/Raw

Thank you for the insight.

My dock is only 40ft wide so it should not be a lot of wood.

captbone

Thanks! Thats perfect. I knew you guys would have the best answer.

I just googled them and realized that I must drive past them 5 time a day.

The update from THT So here is the update, the other boat was the boat that everyone suspected. They are claiming they left the scene to take an injured passenger to the hospital. They did apparently notify the coast guard shortly after the incident. Both parties are now claiming that neither boat h...

The early ones truly earned the nickname "Flexible Flyer."

The paint color layout is almost identical. It does seems like the same owner.

captbone

I am glad no one was hurt. The 31 looks like someone put a lot of time and effort into making it perfect. The water damage and starboard side damage will most likely send it to boat heaven.

The PBS series is negative not because of the danger they show but instead because it is a series about individuals, the downtime, boredom, broken families and being out at sea for 6 months at a time. Any time civilians see documentaries about the military it is normally rock and roll greatness. The...

That is from the PBS series "Carrier". It was a 10 part series and you can watch all 10 episodes online at PBS directly.

The Navy was not happy with the end result does not show the Navy life in a positive light.

Did you do it yet? The Twic card is now waved for smaller licenses and not needed anymore. I also use an expediter that specializes in this and swear by him. You fill out all the paperwork and mail to him. He double checks and then submits for you. I mailed him my paperwork, $200 fee and in two week...

That is a strange looking conning tower.

It does not look like an Ohio, Los Angeles, Seawolf, or Virginia class sub?

Are you certain this was taken in the GOM or did it come from a website and possibly a European body of water.

captbone

I suspect USCG was aboard as Navy can not do boardings. That is why USCG cant go into DOD.

They have proven to be great engines. I regularly fish a 30 Grady White Marlin with the new F300s and they quiet and powerful. The new electronic controls are very smooth. The only downside is the price as street price per engine is still $20k each and the new controls/harnesses are another expense....

I will play devils advocate and suggest waiting a couple of weeks with it open to the air and after its completely dry. It does look really good and I would agree its fine but around the rivits, I see the small start of the failure in the picture with the baffle on the other side. Mine got worse whe...

Moriches has a 25ft Safeboat just like any other station. I am not sure where these rumors of the USCG not doing SAR anymore start from but they are completely incorrect.

I am so sorry. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless

nypd captain coan is in charge of nypd aviation. LT. COL. COAN is also the commanding officer of those NG blackhawks that fly over the bay here standing on guard to protect the ny area.

USCG out of Atlantic City covers offshore. NYPD doesnt go out to the canyons.

captbone

I am glad everyone is alright. The official report says they picked up within 76 minutes from the first call? Thats pretty good given the distance offshore and the weather. I highly doubt that he will be given a fine for pollution for his boat sinking also. Side note: Anyone who is legally drunk whi...

Are the top and bottom coil identical? If so swap. If not then swap the connection and use a spark tester on each at same time to see if bottom coil starts cutting out. If you eliminate the coils then its either trigger (should only be one) or the stator. If you get your hands on a service manual fo...

captbone

Clean the carb.

I know it seems certain to be a coil issue but I would pull apart and clean the carb first. The venturi's clog easily with todays crappy fuel.

I would do that before you spend a dime.

Just my 2 cents.

Great to see Bertram are still the so well honored even 50 years later. As Sim stated sometimes gasoline does have its advantages, it all just depends on the owner. I think the owner had a reason for everything and to each their own. Even if I had that type of coin, my needs for boating are so much ...
