Tweeter

I thought about adding Tweeter to my site, whether it would be interesting to folk, don't know, but...not going to do it.

It has been a number of months since any progress, and missed my projected complete date. Now looking for a set of witches to replace.

May 23, 2009

First post in quite a while. No work on boat given that I have been working on exercie room for Pat. Currently in Kentucky at a family wedding.

Having Stopped for a While

Well I most likely miss my deadline. So what is the plan? At this point there are 49 days to complete is not in the picture. I do have the motor that Chris picked up, so it is ready. $382 to fix, but cheaper than a new engine.

Hopefully, I will be able to get back to the work, when it gets warm.

Resettting clock today.

Cold and Wet

Have not done much work on boat other than picking up a new VHF Raymarine 55 for around $145 off Ebay. The lack is due only to having other pressing matters to attend, my job mainly. Did go last month to Deltaville and VA Beach to see what I could pick up as to items. Found a few items at a good price in Norfolk. Sad day in DV, given at my past marine found a 50 foot ketch down at the dock. Also watch as family had a new dock put in at their home.

Yorktown, Deltaville looking for items

End of October, went to look for items on the coast. Visited by family a VA Beach and picked up four boat stands they were by their next door neighbor. I will clean up and paint. Also, they are repairing their dock. At some point, may take over the boat and leave there for a few months, but that is down the pike, rather have it closer to home.



Had the Ritchie 200 looked at by repair shop in Norfolk , WT Brownley, http://www.brownley-nautical.com/ the gentleman , "Steve" looked at it and found nothing wrong. Suggested that no to leave on the boat over the winter. It will make the diagfram contract, given it was made in 1985, it was be easier to repair, but why spent the money.



In Deltaville, went to the Marina that we in, Fishing Bay,

Truck comes first

Today the ABS light came on the F350. We took to one of the local folks. Given that the bearings were toast and the ball joint likewise, it was $638.00 to replace. But the good news, the manager turned to rotors on the front for $00.00, saving $85.00. Not much but it helps.

Beats the alternative of buying a new diesel.

Update to last post

pacermarine.com by the way is the wire company in the prior post that the vendor sales. To be exact the sales department said in e-mail, " The material is Ancor or Pacer Marine (pacermarine.com) and due to the free shipping and only 50ft per color there's no price discount. Thanks, Mike NedianoGenuinedealz.com, LLC 866-970-3325 toll free http://shop.genuinedealz.com/. It appears in comparing to ANCOR http://www.marinco.com/product/primary-wire-10-awg it is similar, but I will to look closer. Do not want to replace just to save a few dollars.
