re: Anyone on here ever refreshed their gel coat?
Posted by CP3 on 5/5/24 at 5:38 pm
We had our boat sanded and painted with Awlgrip. Maybe not as “tough” as gelcoat, but it was 1000000 times easier to keep clean. And looked brand new with just a quick spray down. ...

We just use the banax with rod combo from frigate sales for most stuff. Grouper, snapper, tiles..works great and they’re local and pretty easy to deal with if it needs to get worked on.
Fun fact they’re also great for black fin lol. We regularly put a diamond jig on it with blinky light at night ...

Pretty standard for them to do all the work getting fish on and then handing rod to customer to catch. You have to realize that a large percentage of their customers are idiots and will just create a cluster frick if they let them set lines, etc.

re: Anyone taking advantage of the short ATF approval times?

I’m the opposite. I have several already in a trust. Next ones I will probably do individual. Don’t feel like having to get prints and photos done from everyone in trust because we haven’t added anything since they added those requirements for trust ...

I have a Bambu X1C. Probably about to buy another one. Came from an ender and it’s a huge difference.
AMS is great even if you don’t use it for different colors and materials. Can load 4 spools of same filament and it will automatically move to next spool when you run out of filament. ...

re: 24 Pitch Prop To A 22 Pitch Prop

Also makes a difference if 4blade, 3 blade, so on.. lot of variables can change how it will effect your boat. I would just run it and see.
Main thing I’ve always been told to look for is that you can hit the upper RPM ranges at WOT. For example if you can only hit 4800 rpm wide open, it’s not goo...

35ft CC with trip 300s (max speed ~68mph)… I think we paid ~$2700/yr for insurance.
Don’t remember having to tell them anything about our level of experience though…...

I’m billable, so if I’m out on vacation and have to reply to something work related I just bill out whatever time I had to spend replying.
But for the most part I’ll only reply if it’s something critical or urgent. Otherwise they can wait til I’m back....

[quote]It was likely foggy. Its possible that the missing guy in the bow was keeping a watch in the fog. Maybe the radar wasn't functioning? [/quote]
Since my wellhead theory was pretty much debunked, I think this is most likely what happened. Explains why guy was on the bow.
Terrible situatio...
re: Boat hit rig this morning
Posted by CP3 on 3/13/24 at 9:11 pm
It’s hard for me to believe that they hit the actual rig. With radar you’d almost have to try to hit it.
If they hit a wellhead that would make more sense. Some of those things barely show up on radar if at all, and there are a decent amount that are unlit. Not much you can do when they’re barel...
