Help with heat...and "other"

[Blue_Runner]

Need some help. I am installing a small woodstove in my V21 cuddy for those cold winter days. I would like suggestions on where to mount, where to run the flue and of course, where to stack 1/2 cord of seasoned oak. On top of that, my stripper pole is starting to oxidize (near top) from taking spray and the fact that I haven't had strippers on it in at least a month (I know...). It is 3" stainless. Any help on cleaners/polishes would be appreciated. I am at a loss on these issues. With cold weather approaching I want to get these knocked off my list......fast. Anybody?

[phatdaddy]

i went with the wood pellet system on mine, burns cleaner(smaller flue) and pellets stack up a lot more compact that firewood. of course being in fl our winters are shorter. our biggest problem is humidity in the wine bilge
as far as the pole, i'm guessing woody wax

[RWilson2526]

I'm thinking replace the helm seat with the stove.....keep your *** nice and warm. Tow the 1/2 cord of wood behind the boat in a dinghy.

[Blue_Runner]

Rob, I like the way you're thinking...but what about the strippers. Can't have them running about the V with rusty chalky hands.....you know what can happen!?!

Pole looks like this but has a female silhouette flag (pink) on top, upside down of course (catch and release):
:bsflag:

[jasoncooperpcola]

Blue if you would keep the pole in use this would not happen!

[Blue_Runner]

Jason - thanks for stating the obvious! But I sprained my left testicle littel over a month ago and by Dr.'s orders I have to take it easy for 6 weeks! One more week...... :zip:

Where the hell is BGREENE?

Ditch the wood stove and go propane..Get the long industrial tanks and mount them to the gunwalls out of the way. As far as the rusty pole goes that's a speciality item. I'd suggest a pole polisher that can solve your problem with loving care. It's not something you should try yourself. :zip:

[Kracker Jack]

It all depends on name brand of stove. If its a fisher stove I would not install it in the cuddy, she puts out way to many BTU's in such a small area. Maybe think about mounting stove in cockpit and then use a blower to direct heat into cuddy and radiant heat from the stove will warm the wheel house. You can stack the wood on top of bimini or hardtop. Use shella-shine on the pole. Good luck!!! Lol!!

[tsubaki]

I'd go the propane route.
And just what kind of girls you got able to handle a 3" pole??
I've been frequenting the wrong establishments.

[Blue_Runner]

No, not a Fisher. It is a Huntsman.

Phat - I like pellet stoves. Problem is I have way to much oak laying around to think about having to buy pellets.

Taking Kracker's advice I'm thinking I will mount the stove in the cockpit inside the enclosure. I can roll up the rear curtain, have a bi-directional blower unit that will heat the deck and the cuddy simultaneously. Just don't know how to get this flu up thru the soft bimini material. Thought about running it up beside the stripper pole but that will impede stripper movement to and fro -somewhat. I can get around the issue of the pole getting too hot by going with triple wall stove pipe. Plus, I think the ladies will like the warm pole. Feel me?

Now what do you think about a jacuzzi? Really no different than a transom mounted bait tank. Yeah, it will be bigger but won't need as much H2O due to the displacement created by strippers........Hmmmmm....just had a thought....I can run the flu into a heat exchanger around the jacuzzi then out the transom. :beer:

Am I over-thinking this whole thing?

[tsubaki]

Now you done added a jacuzzi to the picture, what about a raw water and radiator situation?

[draglink]

I vote for a 60s retro fireplace....nothing says...."yeah Im going 60 mph in my V, and Im warm!!" than that!!

I have no comment until you can provide an accurate WOT, trimmed out full speed mph.

Cut hole is canvas on the bimini put your triple wall pipe thru then spray this $hit on there!!! It's the best stuff ever!!! It has a burn rate up to like 50 million degrees and will also water proof the roof penetration. The cool thing about this product is if you buy one can for 19.95 then you get like 50 cans free!!! Hell of a deal.

Call me old fashioned, but I would go brick and mortar. I'm not trying to tell you how to run your boat, but I would also look into a baby powder dispenser (keep that fresh stripper smell:zip:).

PS I've got a friend of a friend who can get baby powder in bulk...save you mucho dinero.

[Blue_Runner]

You're old fashioned.....but that ain't a bad idea at all.

A free standing unit is the most cost effective but would be a maintenance nightmare in a salt enviroment ( I mean look at the effects its had on your Ho pole!!!!). So for long term a brick fire place would be ideal. Get that pole powder coated hot pink to protect it from corrosion.

[Monkey Butler]

Maybe you could use some of the waste heat to boil water and convert your outboard to steam power. It would save you a bunch on gas.

[Blue_Runner]

Monkey - When I'm done, this boat will not even need to leave the dock to have a good time! I am SOOOOO not concerned with the fuel burn. I just want to make this thing as stripper friendly as humanly possible.

What do ya'll think about a vibrating bench seat? Can I get an amen?

[reh76]

This has clearly gotten out of hand.....but, could you section off the forward part of the cuddy and make a VIP room?

[Monkey Butler]

Pull a couple of plug wires off and rev engine to red line.

[Blue_Runner]

Out of hand? HAHA Not yet....

I'm really diggin' your creative thought process bro. I think I'm gonna make the WHOLE cuddy VIP. Mirrors on the walls/cieling. Anti-bacterial hand washing station next to the baby powder dispenser.

How about ........ Go-Pro underwater cam mounted INSIDE the jacuzzi connected to a 40" flat screen in the VIP room. The way I see it, a Very Important Person should have this luxury.
:pic:
Back to the bench seat - I really need to have it reupholstered anyway so I am now thinking vinyl w/ leopard skin print.

[Blue_Runner]

Pull a couple of plug wires off and rev engine to red line.
While that would no-doubt work, seems to be A TON of trouble to go that route. I sure don't want to have to stop what I'm doing, pull the cowl, pull plug wires, walk back the helm, etc. etc. If we're gonna do this we are gonna do it right. Why not this - when I reupholster the bench seat I will slit the foam and sandwich in 1 or 2 of those adjustable chair massage thingies. Full customized vibration settings. After all, no two strippers are the same (as we all know). If I install 2 then two strippers can each have their own customized settings....kinda like the sleep number bed.

[Monkey Butler]

If your boat didn't have a fishy smell before then it sure will now.

[Blue_Runner]

Better to smell fishy that reek of skunk, agree? :beer:

[bgreene]

How fast WOT ?

[Blue_Runner]

Fully loaded, jacuzi filled, 2 petite strippers, 4 man crew, no fishing gear, 1/2 cord of oak, split, running down wind she tops out around 21 mph WOT w/ 150hp. All a man needs.

[Kracker Jack]

I have an idea for the hottub, get you a old used life raft case and use the bottom half for the tub. Then run a supply and return to the hottub,you hook an airetor pump up to get the bubble effect. Mount her up on the bow.

[tsubaki]

What about a zip line from the cuddy to the hot tub?

[Kracker Jack]

Attach the zip line to the top of the stripper pole to the front of the bow rail. What about in the summer time? We can't have our v20 sponsored strippers to hot. Might we think about installing some kind of a/c unit?

[bradford]

Install meat grinder on rear gunnel, if strippers get the fishy smell or give you any crap about no sex in the champagne room, chum them up and fish.

I would go for an open bon-fire type pit in the center of the cockpit over the gas tank. Surround it with natural indigenous rock from your local area.
Oysters anyone?

Mmmmm...and don't forget the corn on the cob.. Both for eating and for bait for the flounder. I figure that 10-15 bushels should do it nicely...Oh, and fresh butter and salt also. :drool:

[Blue_Runner]

Kracker, don't think your ideas have not been heard. Your brilliant imagination has been noted. The A/C unit is not something I'd thought of.....yet.

BarnegetV - true on the friction. I'm already thinking I'll need to plumb a de-humidifier in the VIP lounge to keep a check on the mold.

Bradford - I hear what you are saying but I think it is a little excessive considering the human nose can adjust to any smell within 10 seconds. Plus that is what the baby powder is for. Also I thouroughly vet my strippers before boarding. I have a questionairre consisting of 25 questions designed to weed out just such a stripper that might even consider any sort of resistence.

Now guys, I think it is the appropriate time to think of a new name for my vessle. Here's some thoughts I'm batting around in my head. I'm open for suggestions.

Pink Girl
Stripteaser
P*ssy Riot
Wet Dream

[Blue_Runner]

Got me thinking....Pink Snapper:sun:

[Monkey Butler]

You might want to replumb the VRO tank to dispense baby oil to keep the friction under control and help cover up the fishy smell.

Name ideas:

Wet Spot
Wellcrotch V20
Deep Vee Throat

[Blue_Runner]

rolmao! Those are goooooood.

[Kracker Jack]

Call her the "motor boat".

[Blue_Runner]

Bearded Clam:haha:

[jasoncooperpcola]

How about Fishing with Blue?

[Blue_Runner]

....Uh, I think that's taken. :hi: On the other hand, I doubt we're gonna do much fishing so simply use another popular word that starts with "F".

Hell I'm evening pulling out the rod holders and replacing with cup holders. :beer: I figure each stripper has at least 3 or 4 rod holders anyway.

[Monkey Butler]

Das Booty

I know I left some stuff out but here is a rough draft

Lol!!!!! You forgot the freaking a/c!!!!

The only problem I see with that drawing is the girls still have their skirts on!!

DOH! I knew I's forgetting something major!

Drag - I like to start off slow. :hide:

willy's done upstaged you Blue!

[Kracker Jack]

Hey blue I've been thinking, I realize there will certain things on board that will cook the hotdogs. But what about the hamburgers,venison and fish? We need to incorporate a grill on that rascal some were.

[Blue_Runner]

I am one step ahead.....already thinking an electric smoker would be a perfect, compact addition.

And while we are thinking about this again, I think it is pertinent to add a heating element to the washdown unit to achieve hot water on demand. You know, cause they say hot water does a better job at getting rid of germs and our strippers are gonna need plenty of HOT HOT water! LOL

I know - you are gonna say that is what the jacuzzi is for, but the hot water will be used with SOAP and soap + jacuzzi ain't such a great idea, ya know?

:nice:

You guys are just being silly. Don't you know this is a serious web site intended to be of use to owners of Wellcraft V20/V21 boats ?

The way this is going, I won't be surprised to read other rediculous posts such as V21's that can run 100 mph or such. Can't imagine which idiot what write something like that but who knows.
