Needs for the new to me boat

[macojoe]

Destroyer has been nice enough to offer me a winch, and a vhf radio. Inaforty is going to fix my top. Bradford says he has the helm, BS has the ram & spare tire.
So what else I need is,
tires (4) 12' $50 each I am going to start buying one a month starting next month. Battery, water pump kit for 1986 1.6 seadrive (120hp omc) some wireing, GPS, prop not sure on pitch, .
cash to reg. Then I should be good.

the :pray: List

[GregV20]

Somebody stuck you with a real piece of junk, huh?

:embarsed:

Just kidding - gave you everything I had; wish I had more to offer!

[bradford]

No such thing as a free boat

[spareparts]

I'll dig out a controll box for you

[garbubba]

Might have a prop around, let me know what size & pitch you are looking for.

[garbubba]

Just checked, only large johnny-rude prop I have is a 15 1/2" x 13 pitch aluminum. it's used but was a runner when removed from the 225 'rude it was on.

[macojoe]

Thanks guys!! greg it a great boat, but i have to fix it up some not *****ing about you at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks

bradford your right!! but i new that getting into this

thanks spare!!

thanks garbubba, that soubds like the one i had on my old v but with a 175, i will look this week to see whats on it now and let you know!!

[THEFERMANATOR]

The 1.6L 115HP OMC should have the 4" V4 gearcase on it, not the 4.5" large gear case. Let me chack, I may still have the prop that was on mine. What you want is a 13" x 15 pitch stainless for it.

[THEFERMANATOR]

Found the prop out in the shed. Aint pretty, but its yours if you want it. It was the same prop I ran on my 1.6l sea drive.

[GregV20]

Thanks guys!! greg it a great boat, but i have to fix it up some not *****ing about you at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks

I didn't think you were *****ing - I'm just stirring the pot a little. I'm happy to see everyone pitching in to help you!

[macojoe]

Thanks Ferm I will take it!!

Greg just screwing with ya!

starting to look like it might see the water this year!! Thanks to all you guys!:love:

[THEFERMANATOR]

Need an axdress to send it to. Will probably be the weekend before I can ship it, my burbs down waiting on front end parts, so I'm stuck at home right now.

Thanks no hurry as spring is awayus away from now, just trying to get what I can covered now so I know what I am dealing with in spring.

Thanks all!! Joe

[garbubba]

Ferm is correct , of course, mine has a 4 1/2 " hub. I was just hoping.

Since it's already sitting in a box & ready to go how about this?

I'll put it over on classifieds as a best offer in a week or whatever & have the winner send the $$ to Macojoe for the tire fund.

It's nothing special but would be an excellent spare, I have the spacers, nut, & all.

I'll take pics & get it posted shortly.

I have a Garmin 182? I think. It's a little older black and white. But it works fine. It's yours if you want it. I also have a few stereos if you want one.

[macojoe]

That would be great Capt!! Thank you!!

[Destroyer]

Joe, sorry to say but that Panasonic VHF radio doesn't work. When I tested it I get zero reception, even on the weather channels. It lights up but only gets static. Will be sending a 712 Powerwinch out to you this week, but you'll have to continue your search for a VHF. Anyone have one that works that they can part with??

[inaforty]

Joe,
I have a VHF for ya.
I need to get over there to pick up your top. Just got done with the cover for the Bertram and finshing up the top for my V. When I stop by to get the top I'll drop it off the VHF.
You said something about rear seats? If you want the two pedestal type seats I took out of my V you can have'm.

[reelapeelin]

I didn't think you were *****ing - I'm just stirring the pot a little. I'm happy to see everyone pitching in to help you!

That's the way we roll around here...I wish MJ needed some Merc controls and prop...I'd fix 'im up!

MJ...I do have several gals of Mercury Premium outboard oil you can have if you can cover the freight...unopened gals...:sex:

[macojoe]

Thanks all!! yes inafority, Just let me know when you want to come by! Real see what the cost would be? 02330 Thanks!!

[captpete13]

Garmin 182 and Clarion AM/FM/CD tested ok and shipped. I hope they serve you well.

[macojoe]

Not a problem. If there's anything else you need just let me know. I've got a pretty good supply of extra parts.

[macojoe]

Inaforty came by today with VHF, 2 rear seats, amnd took the top for repairs!!
:nice:

[spareparts]

what length cables do you need with the control box

[THEFERMANATOR]

what length cables do you need with the control box

Let me know, I haven't shipped the prop yet, so I could throw in the set I have if they're long enough. I also have the side mount control box.

[macojoe]

i will have to get a measurement, but we are under 5"snow right now! far some reason i have 16 in my head from the build on the other v??

[macojoe]

Gave a quick measure today cables look like 12 or 13 footers will be fine, 12 if just the casing, but 13 if you count the cable going into the motor

[inaforty]

Update!
Joe your top is done.
I restitched every seam I could get to without total dismantling the top. Looks like original thread was giving up do to service life and there might have been a tension issue with the stitching. The top only needed a small patch.
Here's what we started with.

Here is the only spot that i could find need a patch.

Looks GREAT Barry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!
:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

[GregV20]

That came out great, awesome job! I didn't think there was much life in that top.

:clap:

[kamikaze]

Inaforty:

I jealous of the sewing table you have. You are all setup!

Kamikaze

[inaforty]

You're very welcome Joe.
My turn to pay it forward. I have been helped many times by many members here on the board. I lurk a lot here on the board just reading and gathering info and ideas from other folks.
I forgot to tell you I reattached a forward windshield strap that was cut in two.

Greg,
The top wasn't in bad shape at all. The stitching was failing but the Sunbrella is in good shape.

Kamikaze,
We got tired of using the dining room table. We have to have full basements here so it we had room. I built my table up high so I work standing and not bent over. Makes things tough when working with and reaching patterns but it's better than a sore back. Most sail makers have their machines mount in the floor to work large projects. That would cripple me.

[THEFERMANATOR]

I've been slow to get much of anything done, but I got the prop and cables boxxed up tonight. Hope to drop it off next day or two to be on its way to you.

[macojoe]

Thanks alot Ferm!!!!!!!!:beer::

[THEFERMANATOR]

Prop and cables are on there way. They look rough, but thecables are still nice and smooth, and the prop always ran smooth and topped out about 5250-5300 on my 1.6l.

[bradford]

Still got your Helm MJ. Don't worry, it will go out this week, sorry its been so long, been busy as heck.

[macojoe]

Thanks bradford!! No rush as I have to wait for spring, just trying to get all here so when the cold breaks BS and I can get going!:beer:

[macojoe]

ferm, got the prop and cables today!! Thanks man!!:beer::beer::beer:

[inaforty]

Hey MJ,
Your bimin top is safely stored in my basement. I'll contact you when this snow clears and it warms up some to drop it off. Right now my truck bed is full of snow and ice.
Just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten about you.

It's crazy cold!!

[macojoe]

Yep its COLD!! My pipes are frozen and I have no water in the trailer!! Waitting for my son to come over with a totch and heater to get it thawed! Stoped and got some pipe ins. when i was out.
Yea I was going to try and call you and tie that thing to the roof of the Hyundia, but I am glad its not in your way, but if it is just let me know and I will come and get it!
Thanks Joe

[inaforty]

MJ,
No worries about the top. We have plenty of room in the basement.
I've got the enclosure of a sportfisher layed out for repairs and we still have plenty of room. Don't worry about picking up the top. Karen and I will swing by and drop it off.

Hope you get your frozen pipes thawed out. Looks like warmer weather is on it's way by tuesday.

[macojoe]

Thanks Barry!! And I have water!! My son got it right away! :nice:

[spareparts]

[THEFERMANATOR]

[spareparts]

[macojoe]

Thank you Ferm for answering, and thank you spare!

[GregV20]

Have I mentioned how cool this thread is? You people are awesome!

[Destroyer]

Greg, that's what this site is all about. Just plain, ordinary people that share a love for boating helping each other. For the most part no politics, religion, or whatever interjecting their ugly faces. The world could learn a lot from this site. We are family :fam:

[macojoe]

RThats why I have done what ever I could to keep it going!! People here are the greast!!! We have had a few issues, and I have been told by a few that yI lowered the hammer pretty hard for no reason, but i think it showed there wasn't going to be any bulling here!

[bigshrimpin]

You guys need to stop sending MJ all this extra stuff . . . I'm gonna get put to work having to install it : )

[macojoe]

:you::you:

[THEFERMANATOR]

Thanks
