Gert if I fly to Schipol can I buy some of those modified brushes from you with the 150yrs. Worth of training on how to use them? The house on my 38 needs new paint.

wmachovina

So did your artisans brush like they did on the 31?

wmachovina

People rarely die falling off a stool. I've been to too many memorial services of friends who flew.

wmachovina

Kevin, how were the Bahamas? By the way we'll be down at Founders Park Thursday through tues if your Round. Seachele II yellow hulled 38,,,, Bill

wmachovina

Interesting, a 37 with a windshield.engine room might be a a bit tight for diamond 450s, but if anyone can do it Gert can. Congrats can't wait to see this winters masterpiece.

wmachovina

As much ass 92s scare me 375 cats in a 37 give 17-18 kts. Also the engine room does not allow for an old body like mine to maneuver very well. Those facts convinced me ,an older 38 with c cummins, 450s, works. Bigger salon, more bow flare, surprisingly only 17deg of dead rise aft. Not as sexy but an...

wmachovina

Tender yep kinda, I sold Seachele to a guy to tow behind his 110' Westport. He actually planned on using it as his billfish boat . Guy from venezuela. No pix never met the owner just his broker. The check cleared

wmachovina

Tony, the 250s with 1+3/8 were on my Seachele31. Ran her for a few years w no problem. I was told that was the limit so got new aqua22 shafts no need for strut changes. Worked good.

wmachovina

Bob, I think he was just cataloging past installations , those cpl 970s are probably still running.

wmachovina

Kevin, no sign of John , his boat was gone last week when I checked. Work prohibits my participation in the Bahamas this year, but I'm wrapping it up. seachele2 is set for an extended Exumas next summer. Stop by yacht harbor anytime. 772-240-6146., Regards Bill

wmachovina

Kevin , if you need to stop by Founders Park in Islamorada, the beer is cold on Seachele, be there all week as of today

wmachovina

Fwiw the Sherwood pumps are crap for a boat used 12 mos. a year. Tony's pumps are a huge reliable upgrade. Now I think I have an old Sherwood maybe 2 at home. I get back tuesday, I'll check if you need them, Bill. I use them as door stoppers.

wmachovina

Kevin isn't 14.7psi normal sea level air pressure? 15

wmachovina

Thanks Capt, figured that but I really was surprised by the level of penetration I got from the Smiths. Suppose thinned west would do the same but I can be sold just bout anything if somebody tells me it wrks better. Now let's talk about trim tabs on a 31 :-)

wmachovina

How about using penetrating epoxies like Smiths. Used it for a cherry countertop in my 38 to protect it from water/wine stains, multiple coats then some west coats then finally spray a satin varnish. Seems ok.i like using the Smiths ,wood just soaks it up.

wmachovina

20 seacraft, old one no foam.

wmachovina

Todd , there is also a very lightly used B50 family boat next to me in Islamorada,keys. I heard it was sub 300k, with mans. I'm going back down there Saturday, I'll ask if you're interested, Bill

wmachovina

Bruce, is there anyone who sells sensors that are 2000 compliant for older mechanical engines,ie 450 c series?

wmachovina

If you look closely, number 4 has trim tabs,,,,,idiot :-)

wmachovina

Kevin, next year.

wmachovina

So a corvette next year is fast.

wmachovina

Seachele II is in Islamorada now and our plAn was a post 4th departure to Bimini, chub, and up through the Abacos before heading back to Stuart for hurricane season. If I can get the time off we're in, Bill

wmachovina

Nice lights, thanks anyways Cap

wmachovina

One of the things I have always appreciated about this forum, is the overwhelming camaraderie , and compassion shown here. For this, I thank Capt Patrick. Having had an enormous loss in my household to substance abuse, I remain appreciative of that compassion and I am sure it carries on. Thanks Capt.

wmachovina

They were on eBay for 15, didn't sell but I made an offer that wasn't refused :-)

wmachovina

I bought my 250 s with750 hrs. For $12k w 2/1 gears. Swapped out for 1.5 gears. Good engines for the 31 be cautious of the Lucas cav injection pump. They did run a little smokey on the transom but 25 kts at 2400 29 at pins 2650. Great motors.

wmachovina

After comparing maintenance cost and simplicity on my 38 purchase, between a 420 3126, and 450 cummins c the cummins had it hands down. Go with a 330/370 cummuns B.

wmachovina

Be there tomorrow John.

wmachovina

Pete, Shell and I will be at themyacht harbor in Islamorada all week. Stop by,

yellow 38

wmachovina

Kevin, just ran my 79 38 convertible to Islamorada from Stuart, full of fuel and water cruise at 21 kts at 2100, on the pins 27.5 at 2700. Slightly under propped. 450 c series diamond cummins. Lots of room in the engine room get the remans. Bill call me at 7722406146

wmachovina

Had 250 6bs on my somewhat stock Fbc, she pinned at 29 on a good day, stable, ran 25 at 2400 , was happy at 2200 at 22 kts.long runs at sea were that 2200. Go faster maybe ,but speed is for gomers with Bimini 41s with 3 350s and really nice gold chains. Seachele II is a 1979 38 with 300 hr 450 diamo...

Charlie , thanks for the complement, as the Buffet song says. "it's my job" Hawaii in August? Hell I don't know where I'll be tomorrow. But if Ido go, I'll give you a ring.

wmachovina

Craig, Milan is often cat2/3 in the morning, also be careful about engine out miss, big mountains to the north. We had custom tailored jeps for that eng out different than normal, Zurich can also be sporty

wmachovina

Craig, 767-300 er for DAL , left before the bk, now flying the mighty Citatian Soverign for NJ.woohoo, you at AA?

wmachovina

Craig , did many an approach into Malpensa, fog comes in frequently after sunrise, just about arrival time,cat 3 auto lands are sweet when you've been up all night. That unfortunately was where someone I forget who, ran into I think an Alitalia md 80 on rollout. Be careful out there. The train to Co...

Buju, no ,not a wide body,, 1979 Napier hull,450 c cummins, 300 hrs.

wmachovina

Buju, many apologies, meant dolphin, :-( Seachele went to a venezuelan to tow behind his 110ft. Westport as his billfish boat, price was right. Moving Seachele II to yacht harbor mid December. Stop by, old 38,450 cummins

wmachovina

Buju,, action craft hull? Be back at yacht harbor in December with redone 38. Stop by.

Bilgecoat sucks, soft sticky bleah. I just used a 2part Benjamin Moore store- Richards industrial floor coat. Very popular up here in Stuart with the custom guys.seems very hard ,levels well and quite washable. Only negative is that it's very fumey for a day or so. Wear a resperator and keep the ele...

I repowered with 250 btas. Kept the 1 3/8 shafts and struts.no drag races. Concerned in heavy seas about torque but had no probs. Ran the boat 500 hrs no problem. Struts,new a q22 shafts, length issue compared to 454s. Engine beds were soso, laminated epoxied marine ply with aluminum caps. Exhaust w...

It never ceases to amaze me how 9/11 touched all of our lives, the Captain of the AA flight flown into the pentagon was an old flying buddy in my sister squadron on the Saratoga (VF 103) . Little known fact was the murderer was on the Jump seat in a fake uniform with fake Id. We all know someone ver...

wmachovina

, see if I got this right. Gear oil heats the sea water, sea water cools the fresh water, fresh water cools the compressed air, Fuel mixes with compressed air ,boom, piston goes down, love good rum, don't have any, what was the second law of thermodynamics again?

wmachovina

Your after cooler is fresh water cooled, 180 deg.good news is no salt corrosion, less than good news is 180 cooling water. Works good last long time. Bill
