Hey Joe! Yours and mine are very similar in hull design but for a couple of feet difference. Is yours a gas or oil burner? I will send you a PM in a couple of weeks, maybe we can do some offshore Sea Bassing south of here.

A long time coming, but she's finally mine! '31 Shamrock Grand Slam with twin 6BTA Cummins Diesels

What if you have just purchased a used 32' Sportfisherman and was planning on moving it over the open ocean 300 miles to it's new homeport and the previous owner removed all of the gear. What safey related equipment would you be sure was on board before starting your journey? .

Very nice indeed!

We may not know about tea, but some of us LIer's DO know "Jack" (Daniels that is!)

Want a quality product???? Go with Jasper and don't even consider anybody else! ps: before you install any engine in that boat, remove a couple of plugs from both sides of the block and install drain valves. You already found out why they are needed.

Don't mess with the USA anywhere! Very glad to see Obama step up to the plate and call in the "Black Ops" guys. Them SEALS are very special people not to be messed with anywhere in the world.

Hey Halffull and fellow Lawg Guylander! Don't forget a second VHF Radio (Handheld is good) and a EBiRB. It will help us find you out in The Hudson Canyon if you get it trouble. BTW, what boat are you riding in????

Hey Jason: Nice Job, Thanks for your efforts. As for them lazy bums that want your hard earned GPS #'s, tell them to go find their own!!!!

Real nice boat! Thanks for the pix! Bad situation for all those "Little People" that got caught up in it. We need some better white collar crime deterents here in the USA!

Neeeeew Jersay? ya mean dat fish drug me all the way to Neeeew Jersay?

Now there's a guy with a great boat and some smarts !!! Welcome Aboard "Chubs" !

ooops!

Cafe avec Remy Martin XO Cognac !

Rival and Welder: In my professional opinion, I agree. 1 Alternator per Battery Bank isolated from the other bank / Alt. is the only way this set up will work If the purpose is to charge the House batteries separate from the starting battery and each alternator has an internal regulator it can only work if they are completly separated and isolated because as was said, 2 alts. each with it's own requlator will sense the other's voltage output and go "open" and not charge at all. Why do "Blow Boat" owners think this stuff up? Is it all that fresh air blowing thru their heads?

Never thought that a shoot thru the hull Transducer could work so well, have a look at the Humminbird, you'll be glad that you did!!!!!

"Create good things and the masses will follow" Wiley, you have created a good thing here and deserve all the success that follows ! .

Nice Wahoo there ReelPlumber, Congrats! BTW, just tell your Sis in Law that she hooked it and you reeled it in, truly a joint effort! How much did that bad boy weigh ???

NJDiver: Can't you see that's their plan? Look what is going on today, They can control Big Biz. They can't control us individual litte guys. help!

Read between the lines K-ss My A-- !!! Soon we will all need some kind of Gov't ID. Can you say: "Let me zee your papiers, plezzze?" then hear "Come wit me, your papiers are NOT in order!" This is out of control!

Randall, Yep, nice boat ya got there! Too bad Ray Hunt had to go design some of them "Others", Huh? You Bert owners are way too sensitve! LOL!!!

isn't that the same thing?

Oh No! there goes the neighborhood! Glad you found your way over here Bud! ps: There will be no my Bertam is better than your (whatever boat) here, please ???

C'mon now wake up and register! You know that you want to!!!!

The Set up that I'm using on a thick, full fiberglass old I/O Mako is a Humminbird 383C Combo GPS/ Fishfinder with a Shoot thru the Hull XP-90-T Transducer. The plastic transducer is epoxy'd to the hull in front of the engine, low in the bilge where the vee is not very steep. Before it was permanatly mounted, I used "Plumber's Putty" to hold in different places to see how it worked before I settled on it's permenant location. Humminbird supplied the slow cure epoxy with the transducer for proper mounting with very good instructions and excellent results. The 383C Combo GPS/FF works great in all water conditions and speeds without a blackout when going fast (40mph). It is compact and fits nice on a small helm station. the Mounting Bracket is simple and lets you remove or install the unit fast without playing with wires. Give this set up a look before you end your search. You can get just the Fishfinder alone (but why?) for around $300 or the combo for $400 plus 60 bucks for the shoot thru the hull transducer.
