Re: not a seacraft but still a deep V
Trayder, I know you've been busy! I'm sure there are hundreds of other cool things that the Navnet can do, I barely have time to read the directions on finding the on/off switch....I think it even has the ability to send NMEA to the microwave and emboss your Lat / long on the kids chicken tenders....

Re: not a seacraft but still a deep V
Hey Tom-
You never cease to amaze me. Masada looks great....I am amazed that it only burns 38gphs. Keep up the good work and post more pictures as they become available. Oh yeah...how the heck did you put 2000 hours on the Whitewater?? Engines holding up okay at your normal cruising speed of 60mph?? Talk to you soon. Ed

Re: not a seacraft but still a deep V
Ed, thanks for the kind words....like most everyone else on here, this boat stuff is addictive and I can't get enough of it. I don't think I would ever do an extensive project like this again though, it becomes necessary to employ other people and you begin to lose control of touching all the pieces yourself. the refit essentially took Nov '03 to June '04 and that doesn't include the interior stuff thats going on now...
The WW is now over 3 years old (since rebuild) and it gets used at lease 2 times a week. hours add up. It sits on the lift in the florida sun, it gets washed religously, but never waxed. I have cleaned the O2 sensors, decarbed 3 times, changed plugs 4 times, replaced a stator, and blew out one lower unit, probably because the fluid was contaminated when the plug wasn't screwed in all the way allowing water to intrude. (my own fault). Changed the batteries from group 24 to group 31s w/ higher ratings after 2 years, but still run with just two. The boat needs new leaning post cushions and one of the saddle tanks has a leak somewhere in the feed line which will require deck removal. Only other replacement done was a sw washdown pump that stopped this year.

Re: not a seacraft but still a deep V
Tom,
You never cease to amaze. Having seen the redo on the 25', I figured this one would be equally impressive and indeed it is. I had hoped to make it down there to see the Bertram sometime in September but the recent adverse weather has had me otherwise occupied. Very impressive work!

Re: not a seacraft but still a deep V
You can cut & paste that boat in my back yard anytime! Very pretty. Can't wait to see it in final.

Re: not a seacraft but still a deep V
Wow! Congrats on a great job so far. I cant imagine the mount of work that has to go into a project of that size. Makes may little 23 project seem so easy. Keep the pics coming please.
