Thanks for the comments; this boat is incredible; still running original 312 "Y" block interceptors with carter YH side draft carbs. Had the vinyl on the hardtops replaced last year which really helped the appearance. The boat will move out but I'm a cruiser. I do have to agree that restor...

Made the three hour cruise back to my home port. Bilge never kicked on automatically and pumped very little water once back in the slip when I turned it on manually. Weather was between 55 and 60 degrees and the water was like glass. The boat had not been out of the water for three years; it's amazi...

It's been a month and a half; a ton of work but she's finally back in the water. http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x351/sdelfino5225/Pianting%20the%20Trojan/DSC_0231.jpg Waiting for the lift http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x351/sdelfino5225/Pianting%20the%20Trojan/DSC_0224.jpg Fresh bottom pai...

Got the stainless polished and installed; new swim step with redesigned mounting brackets; she's coming along. http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x351/sdelfino5225/Pianting%20the%20Trojan/3.jpg http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x351/sdelfino5225/Pianting%20the%20Trojan/2.jpg http://i1177.photobuc...

Thanks; boot stripe and bottom should be done on Monday or Tuesday and then I can pull off the masking! installing all the stainless tomorrow and Saturday; repacking rudders and putting on new zincs.

All sprayed with Awl Grip; came out awesome... http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x351/sdelfino5225/Pianting%20the%20Trojan/DSC_0027.jpg http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x351/sdelfino5225/Pianting%20the%20Trojan/DSC_0029.jpg Spent all day polishing stainless trim; finally I can start putting tri...

Haven't been on for a long time; busy with the boat; the old girl needed a makeover so we took her to the local boat yard; here are some pics.... it's not done yet hope to splash next week. http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x351/sdelfino5225/DSC_0002.jpg?t=1385530069 Just hauled and washed http://...

It was impossible to find the small diameter 140's for my old Interceptors; someone had used ones for $50 each (each engine takes two). I went to West Marine and found a 140 degree thermostat that had the same inside dementions as my old ones and then ground down the outer diamenter of the thermosta...

The excercise you did with your neice needs to occur anytime any of us sees an opening; that is how you return this country to the people who make it great.

I run raw water cooling in my boat and was told 140 degrees. The guy who told me said that hotter then that and you could begin crystalizing whatever minerals are in the water.

I did the Petty thing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway; very cool. Trouble is I've had my Mustang faster than they let us drive on the track. The wife did a ride along and loved it.

Voting matters... it always matters. What needs to be done is have conversations with family and neighbors and make certain that anyone who feels like we do goes to vote.

If that happens then we will turn the man out; if everyone thinks it doesn't matter then we're lost.

Here we go again...

you guys are all forgetting this whole issue started when Obama began telling the churches they had to provide birth control no matter what their belief is. When people rose up he then changed the narrative to womens health which is bull. The real issue is we have a president that acts like a dictat...

I think Captain Maniac may be right; I have the same boat and run much slower at 1500 rpm. Also I find that when my boat is at rest the bilge never runs however after a weekend run and coming back to the slip if I turn the pump on manually it will pump some water out but it never gets enough in it t...
