Frank, no photos of the old gal??

Happy Thanksgiving. The different carb gaskets were used depending on the manifolds. Flat carb mount got one style, angled carb mount got another. Some were with open spread bore, some were partitioned off between the primary (small) and the secondary (larger) carb barrels. The fact your RPM's jump ...

Serious problems always come at the worst time. Otherwise they wouldn't be so serious! Regards, Tom

Go to www.marinegears.com in Fort Liquordale Fl. they have a question and answer section in the web site. I hd them re-build my Borg Warners, I shipped them to 'em, then went over and picked them up in person. Excellent, CLEAN shop, all the tools and a dynamometer for testing. Good job, fair price o...

That's a heart breaker, I wonder whose 33 that is?

I found an article on line about a 48 Ocean six pack charter that sank off the coast of Maryland. The "Always Late" went down in daylight in relatively good weather with all aboard safe. There are some excellent photos and a YOUTUBE video of the boat going down and the salvage after. Page ...

Termites, that is part of Florida. Remember that drywood termites have no waist, ants do have a waist, so if the body is the same width all the way down, you may very well have termites. If you see tiny golden brown droppings that look like cofee grounds, it might be termites. You can spot treat the...

Now it is a live video feed from that shot. Amazing how well those lifeboats ride up and over. Here is the video link: http://www.app.com/section/VIDEONETWORK&videoID=1250525977 Pick the "stormy Manasquan" video on the right side. Joe, both those bars are still there. I miss the Plaype...

Click on the thumbnail section in the lower right corner of the photo to see the other shots. Amazing Bertram weather!

Today's Asbury Park Press has a few great shots of the Coast Guard running out the Manasquan NJ inlet on its way to help a sailboater. That is the same inlet that Mike's photo of Shot n' Beer is seen running in better weather. Look at this rescue boat nose up as it takes a wave on its way out: http:...

Larry, that is a great looking boat, an heirloom! Take good care of her.

Get you a vacuum gauge and hook it up to raw vacuum from the manifold. Read the inches of vacuum and whether the gauge is steady, or pulsating at idle, then at incrased RPM's. Crack your throttle open to about 3000 RPM, hold it steady, and read the gauge. Then, let the RPM's drop back and see what t...

Or, you can go to your local Home Depot and get a "shark grip" tee fitting and push the lines on with no tools and forget about it. The shark grip fittings work like the old chinese fingers and grip until you release them.

Maybe you could hang a basketball hoop and backboard on the tower and the current guy in charge would go out on the boat with you... I have been to the IFGA museaum in Dania. Had a great time, If anyone is ever in that area it is a great afternoon trip. Plus, you can run next door and unload your wa...

Didn't Hemmingway fish one of those?
