UV,

Where you be? Hell you have been downright silent lately. Hope all is well!

Dug

I read about this in Soundings. I am not entirely sure what it brings to the party.

Any thoughts? No it is not mine.

D

Dug

Hell yeah Dick!

My parents have a 36' Hunt. Nice boat. Twin 440 Yanmars with jet drives. Moves very well through the rough NE waters, and when they aren't rough, then it moves even better.

Nice picture!

Dug

Has a date been picked for the get together in the Keys? I am trying to work my weekend schedule out...

thanks!

Dug

Dug

I feel the same way about the Yankees...

Dug

Bruce,

First time for everything in my book.

3 Superbowls in 5 years I think...Either way, it is factual...

You are wrong.

With all due respect,

Dug

Dug

Yeah, I am thinking he is a world hero...

They did play well, but I still wanted the Pats to stuff them one more time!

Liz is happy as hell that the Bears are in, and is praying hard that they stuff the crap out of Indy. We shall see. I am with her...

Makes for a placid house!

D

Dug

I figured this might be fun to re-post, It is not by our captain Pat, but from another. If you are going to change your boat name, you might want to think about this! Ceremony for Renaming Your Boat By Capt. Pat Everyone knows that renaming your boat will bring nothing but bad luck and make your boa...

Dug

Mount Gay got involved way back in Newport! It was fun!

Yeah, the Bears did it well. Liz is happy!

Dug

Patrick, this may be especially for you, but please anyone else feel free to jump in. I have a couple of types of glass in my arsenal, but want to give them formal definitions... I have a criss cross with what looks like matt on the back. Is this Biaxial? I have a criss cross that is heavy, is that ...

Dug

Mike, I vote for the soft top. It provides more versatility in my mind, with antennas (though I know you have super cool mounts already!) and so on. But I think you are expecting pricing to be too high! On the flipside, I am floored constantly by the pricing of my local canvas guys. And in my area, ...

Dug

Holy shit!

You guys have totally busted loose!

Wow Tim. Significant!

Dug

Dug

Yup, and given that we have a machine shop, I could customize slightly depending on desired configuration. I should know more by the end of the week.

Enjoy...

D

Dug

I have one that I can use for a mold. I have thought about filling in the openings for lights, as I agree it is tough to use them, and to rehab them. I would likely make them without light openings. I guess most of that would depend on the price difference. To be honest, I think they will be expensi...

Dug

Ahhh. Thudd my friend.

To quote shakespeare, "Methinks you type in error!!!"

I covered my costs. If I ever made 20 large, I sure as hell would still be doing it!!!!

Now, maybe you could figure out a way to come out on top like that!

D

Dug

Scott,

I guess my values are pushing me to ask if there might be a better way to go about Ebay.

Now, as for bow chocks, I have contacted some friends who run a foundry. Let's see if we can get some of these things made and satisfy everyone!

Dug

Dug

Dave,

You are in our thoughts, and prayers. Beat it, and be strong.

Your friend,

Dug

Dug

Mikey, I am glad it worked out well for you. I have to say to everyone that I don't see Ebay as a good match with this group at times. I think that the ability to claim an item as one you want to bid on is a somewhat unfair approach. While I think that Mikey didn't end up with what he wanted early o...

Dug

Randall, Want pallets? Beautiful oak pallets burn nicely. I have ripped a few apart here at the plant, and think I may be on to something. They come apart pretty easily, plus cost an arm and a leg to dispose of commercially. Pine goes by the wayside, but the oak and other hardwood ones are destined ...

Dug

There is one in Bermuda if you go to the swap and sell board. Not sure of condition, but it is what you are looking for!

Dug

Dug

Neil,

You need to make sure this years awards are not as weighted as last summer... :)

D

Dug

Pats Chargers will be a tough game for the Pats. I am looking forward to it, as I had a hard time believing that Belichek would drop this one to Mangini. I credit the Jets for a good try, and a heck of a season. Eric did a hell of a job for a 1st year coach. But he trained under a master, so he shou...

Dug

Dan! Welcome! You did a hell of a job on your boat. She looks great! Not a Bertram, but not a lot of other lesser boats than Hatt. Damned fine work! You should also know that my comment was directed more at Timmy my buddy, than you. Hell I shouldn't insult you, I haven't even met you! Now Thuddd on ...

Dug

Thudd,

My daddy always has said...

"You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig."

D

Dug

sg,

might try an explanation of what you are looking for, why, where you are, etc. This site, while primarily focused on Bertram 31's has many fans of many boats, and we be a social lot. So jump on in, and be sociable. Explain yourself!

Dug

Dug

Neil and Co.,

I found the file and can provide all the details of costs from the 2003 get together if interested.

Just let me know the preferred method of communication...phone, fax, email or post, and the best # or address to use.

D

Dug

Neil,

You have met Randall, he was on the Vineyard! My parents grow Christmas trees. Primarily frasier furs.

7 acres.

Dug

Dug

As I told ya way back, we can talk. I will let you know. Sounds like fun!

D

Dug

We have a good .223 semi-sniper rifle that dad uses on coyotes. I think it will do the job. Hell, he takes down coyotes at over 3 acres away...

I'll call ya Tim. No worries.

D

Dug

No plans as of now Thudd. Just remember we have a tree farm.

Can you say crop damage?

But nothing illegal. No worries...

Dug

Bruce, Thank you so much for the detailed info. I am hoping to use it fairly soon. We shall see. I sure as heck won't be solo, that is for sure. Not for the first time. I can see it now. Dug out in the field, with filet knive (I know, wrong knife, that is the point!) deer shot and dead (got lucky fi...

Dug

Neil, etc.,

I will try to dig up the files from the last time we were at Montauk, and inherent what the prices were. I know it is a couple years old, but it will be a good point of reference...

I will see if I can find it and will call.

D

Dug

Vic, That is so cool. Tom, Rambo, I am not. But I am thinking of starting the deer hunting. I have talked with a few here on the board about it, and it really is pending my parents heading out on a vacation as mom doesn't want to know or see it happen. On my end, no problem dropping the deer. It is ...

Dug

Nice!!!! Good eats UV!

Now, did he gut and clean it?

Dug

Pretty cool my man, I did like that express look with the hard top. Bahia mar style!

But she will be slick. Maybe. Though I can play on that word slick if you don't repower!

D

Dug

Patrick,

Ditto what the Judge said. Thank you very much for doing what you do, and having done what you did here. I couldn't ask for better, and I wouldn't.

It is my pleasure.

Dug

Dug

DQ,

What do the lights come into the boat near on the inside? They look great from the outside!

Dug

Dug

I am guessing that there is rarely a need for any anti-fouling on the lights? Just a regular hit with a scrub brush?

Dug

Mac!

Thats cool!

Dug

Dug

Hueso, I have 240 HP 4 cylinder Yanmars. I love them. They are the perfect engine set up for this boat in my opinion. As of yet, I have had no issues at all. They run reliably and extremely efficiently all day and night long. 11 gph is hard to touch. At 24 knots. I made the choice to replace dead ga...

Dug

I figured it was something like that Bruce.

Too funny from here however!

And yes, it wouldn't have been too hard to track down the offenders!

Even with all the high powered legal help we might have...

Dug

Dug

I admit it. I did not mapquest Llano Texas until it came time to write the address on the envelope with the check in it. I thought, hmmm, I wonder where in Texas that is exactly. So I shot it into Mapquest. As I zoomed out I saw another town about 30 miles east of Captain Patrick, on Rt. 29. No kidd...

Dug

Pat,

You know what is coming... the check to be written today.

D

Dug

Walter,

Good luck. Take all above advice. You will enjoy it afterwards. I hear the hardest part is forgetting not to limp anymore...

D

Dug

Damned straight! Miracle man, I want to wish you a happy b-day asap!

Congratulations, and I am happy you are here to read it!

Happy Birthday Professor Mike!

Dug

Dug

That does look amazing...

Wow.

Dug

Dug

Bruce,

SteveZ is right on. I like the Citizen and my mom recently bought me an Invicta, and it is a nice watch.

Not much of a fan of the Rolex anymore, despite the supposed panache. The bezel on mine has fallen off countless times...'nuff said.

Good luck!

Dug

Dug

Mikey, Like Brewster said, PT is everything. My mother had a double replacement (yep, both at once) about 2 years ago. I have to say that watching her go through that brought my level for love and respect for my Mom like nothing I have ever seen or experienced. When she decides something should be, ...

Dug

Walter,

Don't forget the new governor... Deval Patrick...

D

Dug

Absolutely will be easier if you squirt some corrosion x or WD-40 or some sort of light spray oil under there.

Be patient, work it in, and it will come apart with elbow grease.
