I read the other day, on a golf buggy site,that a 50/50 mix of atf and acetone will shift anything.?
Havn't tried it yet but would be interested to find out.

Mark and family,

I am so sorry for your loss,

My thoughts are with you.

Ian.

pacific marlin

:-D yes.........i can see that would be the case haahhaaaa

pacific marlin

JP and Capt Pat. I'm sorry if this offends but I'm with Sean on this one. Yes it was a very tragic accident and all our thoughts must go out to Tom and his family, However, if something can be learned from this, to avoid it happening to someone else, then that can only be a good thing. I didn't know...

Pink pickled pigs parts!!!!!!

Try saying that 10 times when you've had a few Buds'

Good one UV.

Bob, Have you any recommendations of any pics ,or a site, on which I can see what you're talking about ref a tower for a Sedan. I had a mind to import a flybridge over to the UK for my project Sedan but that would be expensive. so then I thought I would have one made but that would probably be nigh ...

Capt Pat, Thanks for your input. The stringer and cross members grid have been glassed over at some time and it is impossible to see any original engine mount holes etc. It's definfitely not Bertram glass fibre, looks like the same type of glass repairs I found on Paper Tiger. She is definitely conf...

pacific marlin

Buju, I understand why the question, The same thought went thru my mind. There is absolutley nothing to ID her as Blue Moppie . The owner told me that she (the family) had her in their yard for many years, before donating her to the museum that was going to restore her. They(the museum) obviously di...

Ok, here she is.....the feelings of emotion, awe & trepidation were undescribable when i first saw her today!!!! She is 'one hell of a mess' but worth saving.

She needs to go home, (USA).

Any ideas???????

Hi all, I've just found out that "BLUE MOPPIE" is somewhere in the UK. Apparently,she was outside in the yard, at the rear of the Basildon Boat Museum,near London. The museum closed in December, due to lack of funding and she has possibly been aquired and maybe stored in a marina not too far from me...

pacific marlin

Bruce,

Could you please be more direct,

No good beatin' round the bush, say what you mean,

Rick , welcome.

Ian.

pacific marlin

UV,

I hear ya.

You are correct.

pacific marlin

Jspiezio Never had a bad bottle yet, and I've drunk a few over the last 30 odd years but they've gotta be stone cold,...... warm they taste like sh*t Drank a few down in the Keys over the years and they don't taste the same as over here in the UK.....don't let anyone tell you English beer is good......

pacific marlin

Correct.

pacific marlin

John and Pam,
Have read many of your posts and never realised.

Respect .

Ian.

pacific marlin

It's getting late over here in the UK and I've probably had too many Buds
but 325 gallons of diesel has gotta weigh nearly 1.5 tons.

No wonder she's runnin' rock solid.

Where do you put that much diesel?

Ian.

pacific marlin

Is anyone here an Artist, capable of doing a cartoon pic of Capt Pat,
stood in that doorway, barrel still smokin'.

Could get it printed poster size and sell it...all proceeds to this site,

would keep Jehovas witnesses, burglers etc away if you stuck it on your
door.

I'd buy one.

pacific marlin

I have this vivid picture in my head,

Capt Pat, stood in the doorway wearing the old cowboy type long jons,

boots and stetson, covered in skunk sh*t,

I'm not gonna sleep well tonight!

pacific marlin

Would a single through hull and a manifold do a similar job?

pacific marlin

Capt Pat,

Thats good enough for me,

regards Ian.

pacific marlin

Bruce,

would you put one in a B31?

Ian.

pacific marlin

Sorry, I do not understand this at all, Am I right in saying that this device, deliberately forces water into a holding tank, which then supplies said water to whatever? Seems to me that unless this is 100% ,copper bottom,absolutley,without doubt etc, etc ,etc, add infinitum ,done properly (what eve...

Hey Brew,
I think He/She likes you,
Good luck with your new found friend.

Put a crash valve on it and you could use it as an emergency bilge pump.

From my understanding,
Hunting, Shooting and Fishing are the only true "sports"
ie,as in sporting, the rest are just games

but that's from an Englishman.

Sounds like the typical symptons of ice-cream overdose..............

makes you imagine things.

pacific marlin

That has to be one of the most moronic statements I've ever read.

pacific marlin

Mark,
Just an idea I'm toying with, is to buy some Acro (Acrow?) props and make my own.
There as cheap as chips on e bay, unlike "proper" boat stands or anything
else that says Marine on the box.
Ian.

Maybe the newer version is.

That's something I don't want to see,

1 sedan 31 half way through rebuild,
1 B25,less than half way through rebuild,
and 1 B28 happily cruising and fishing in Antigua.
That makes 84 foot of Bertram,
Do I win a prize or am I just plain stupid?

Mike
If you need a volunteer/guinea pig over in the UK,just send me two for the B31 and another for the B25, I'd be happy to help, it's just the way I am.
Oh, and could you buy the groceries and pay the mortgage please.
Ian.

pacific marlin

Guys,
Thanks for your support.......appreciate it.
Ian.

Will do Capt Pat, But it will have to wait till Monday,I've got some whizkid coming into the office to show me how. Will also send you the "boat spec table 11-g revision 1972" that we spoke about re the 31. It was enlightening talking to you! Buju, I bought it for Â£800 from the guy who paid Â£1500,...

pacific marlin

HI Buju,
just to let you know,I recently bought Paper Tiger.
She is a bit of a mess but my plan is to return her to her former glory
and race her again on the 50th anniversary of the Cowes-Torquay in 2011.
I know she is a 25 but if anyone is interested I will post some photos of the project.
Ian

pacific marlin

Rawliegh,
They are the Perko metal ones,with 2 plastic triangular pieces where the back of the of the anchor sits on the deck.
Does this make sense?
