Pacemaker Boats

I'm looking now at an EZ-Loader Roller trailer and I went to their website to check the specs and they list the carrying capacity. They have a model for 23-25/27 with a load carrying capacity of 8300 ...

Well I guess the consensus is Dry.

Mike,

I don't have any way of checking the before and after CG since the weight was added before I had the boat, but keep in mind that the weight was not repos ...

Anyone know if the factory specs for weight are dry or with a full load of fuel. My boat lists as 5200 lbs, but has had a 454 repower adding 400 pounds and the 36 gallon monel tanks have been replace ...

Ah ha... That is a better view.

Both nice looking boats. Looks like the same boat with different bridge molds. I've been staring at the pictures to see which one I like best. Sort o' like GTO v ...

Difficult to tell from the lack of highlight detail in the left shot, but I think most of the perceived difference is in the perspective (no pun intended). The shot on the left was taken with a normal ...

As far as going out of business, that can happen to anyone, even the best. A good product does not a successful business make, but I'm sure you know that. There are so many elements that go into mak ...

This past Saturday, December 2, 2006, I had a leisurely ride in my '68 25' Alglas and for the first time since I bought her 3 months ago I was just out for a ride. No sea trial, no fishing, no checki ...

There is a picture of my flybridge SF in the pictures forum, if yours doesn't look like that then you likely have the express bridge. Another clue is the express bridge does not have forward facing w ...

Welcome, Bigeddy.

Which model do you have? I own a 1968 25' Alglas Custom Sport Fisherman. Another popular model that year was the Custom Express, which was the same hull with an express bridge i ...

Way to go there skipper... dragging those fenders like a weekend boater.

Makes me want to toss my flybridge and cut around the upper deck Wink

For what it's worth, when I had my transmission replaced last month my mechanic said I should take the opportunity to repack the stuffing box. He said that they have regularly been replacing the pack ...

So how many feet must the prop push the boat to attain the desired speed –
Desired Speed feet per minute / 80% SRPM = Feet per minute –
2533 / 1297 = 1.95 feet per minute

What pitch prop would ac ...

Here's the prop calculator I used when re-gearing my 25 Alglas. The results were pretty close. The same site has Excel spreadsheets as well.

Welcome John, and we are anxious to hear more about you, your Wahoo and your travels. The Wahoo is a legend in its own right and still on the wishlist of many a boater and fisherman. Often copied, n ...

Sweet

I've emailed him, but haven't heard back. I passed on the new site info to him.

Not that different. I've fished the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, Carribean, and Mediterranean, and have found that while techniques do vary in small ways there is much more in common that not. ...

Gets a little old after about 6 hours of trolling. To keep the drones out of the lines they are towed from the bow and run just aft of midship.

Today I had the first opportunity to run Never Ending following a transmission refit coupled with other maintenance items which included a Floscan installation. Since I didn't have the Floscan with t ...

Leo,

I think your problem was that you were trolling too fast. I've heard that aircraft carriers have that problem and very few have trolling valves. Excellent sonar, though. I would imagine wit ...

I might suggest a clearinghouse approach. Just have a shared repository that people can upload their images/documents to and then link to it with a sticky message in the literature forum.

If you haven't, exhaust the internet resources for electronic charts. Often times, as merwin10 has responded, there are charts available for the computer mapping software that is not available in com ...

Adrian,

I heard a metric once regarding the Straits of Gibraltar fom a dive instructor I had "way back when", and thought maybe you might confirm or deny a myth.

The statement was:

It takes 1 ...

Leo,

I like the canvas over the forward facing windows. I was thinking of doing something similar as a cheaper alternative to having the windows gallsed over. Do you keep this on while underway? ...

I've done a fair amount of fishing in the Mediterranean, mostly, Italy, Sardegna, Corsica, and the Adriatic. I've always had pretty good luck there, and learned a lot from a friend and Luhrs skipper ...

Water temps have dropped in the last two weeks so the tuna are moving south out of one-day range of San Diego. However, as late as two days ago the SST were showing 70 degree water, but we just had a ...

Sort of makes your head spin doesn't it?

Thanks merwin10 for the site and the dedication to Pacemaker owners everywhere. Best wishes for a long and mutually beneficial existence.
