YES!!!!! Hopefully Saturday....

Belmar is hosting its first annual Feast of San Gennaro festival this coming weekend. So at least there will be plenty of food!

X...you will need the RR bridge to open. Generally it stays open unless a train is coming. If it's down, you'll just have to wait. It doesn't open on demand.

I'll assume the 3200 is a typ and you meant 2200rpm....if not...something is broke. Unless you are running with a strong current and a strong tail wind and very lightly loaded......there is NO WAY you are making 28mph/24knots at only 2200 RPMs. On a typical long cruise like you are taking you...

Assuming you are talking from the Del River side of each canal......about 2 hours. On a bad day....in a 260DA...stay home.

A few pointers. They have no CATV....bring dvds. If you have a digital TV with a glomex, you will be able to pick up a few OTA channels. Don't bother packing an alarm clock....the fishing/charter boats will wake you up plenty early. Fuel there is generally low....comparatively...

Re: 410 Sundancer/Express Cruiser and 400 Sundancer/Express Cruiser **Official Thread I thought we banned you from this thread?

Re: 410 Sundancer/Express Cruiser and 400 Sundancer/Express Cruiser **Official Thread Yea....getting in is always easier than getting back out. I better bring my cell phone down with me in case I need to put in a 911 call. Big question....what, if any, tools do I need to take with me? I...

Any 410DA guys replace their holding tank carbon filter? I'd guess the CAT powered 410's are tad bit (a lot) more difficult to access. Any tips for an old arthritic man......other than the Frank H checkbook method?

James. If you don't mind, let me poke a few holes ...and I mean no disrespect First...Are you using your tridata for distance? Second....tell me you're not using your tridata for speed info too! I've wiggled and tweaked that tridata,.....on three sepearte vessels that I have personnaly owned...

Alex You are confusing percentage of WOT and load. The percent of WOT is only the same as load at two points. Idle and WOT. To calculate load you MUST know instantaneous fuel burn/GPH.

Not for nothing, but if you get better mpg at a higher rpm (assuming similar conditions) then your motors and your entire system are running more efficiently, and hence under less load. If you run under less load you burn less fuel to get from point A to B. Your time between rebuild is...

Alex....that's the magic of 'Average'. When you only have 'Average', your numbers will be all over the place. The guys with the 480CEs have flow meters. Their numbers are spot on. I've had tanks that I "averaged' 20 gph and I've had tanks that I've 'averaged' 8 gph. It all depends.

Re: 410 Sundancer/Express Cruiser and 400 Sundancer/Express Cruiser **Official Thread You did that 'before' you cleaned the box out? Keep an eye on that sumbitch and get back to us....will ya?

Re: 410 Sundancer/Express Cruiser and 400 Sundancer/Express Cruiser **Official Thread Rick: Did you drill holes in the wall of the sump pump to mount the Water-Witch?

What's a Bish-Ka?!

We're worth it!

I just topped off my tanks about a half hour ago. I ran 179.5 miles in 18.2 hours since 6-6-12. approximately 80 of those miles were on plane in the Atlantic Ocean to/from the LL Rendezvous. I'd guess 50 or so of the remaining 100 miles were on plane and the other 50 were at or below hull...

When I bought my used boat in 2006, it had 5 Deka AGM batteries. I believe they were put in in 2005 by the PO (SeaGull). In 2010 the house bank wouldn't hold charge and I had to constantly use the emergency start switch to start my port motor. I probably could have just changed out the 2...

Mark: By 'had the bottom cleaned' do you mean hauled and power washed or a diver dived down with a brush and scraper? The former I'd trust 99.9%.....the later....unless I dived in afterwards to check.....not so much. Especially on a boat that sat all summer and was heavily fouled.
