Pacemaker Boats

Fairwell

Just unwrapped the old Pace. Hoping to get down the next couple of weekends to paint and wax.

Hope everyone has a better 2010 than 2009.

Definitly no complaints here.

I hope everyone had a productive and safe season. I plan on pulling the boat sometime in the next two weeks.

Another year for the books. Unfortunatly due to work boat was not used as much as I woul ...

Good boat neighbors. Glad it worked out well.

Very nice.

Sounds good. If the rain would stop for a bit, that would be nice as well.

Busy schedule. With all the rain I don' think you missed much.

As far as the yard, you take the good with the bad. It just supports my belief that you should never let them launch your boat withou ...

Thanks John. I haven't gotten around to it yet. Just something I'd like to get done before the summer is over. Its the last "questionable" part on the old engine.

I am going to change over the fuel pump (preventative maintanence so to speak) on my port engine. Doesn't seem to difficult, but I've never done it before. Anything I should watch out for (Chrysler 31 ...

Leo,

Sorry to hear that you will be high and dry this year. With the current fluke regs, I doubt anyone will be catching any keepers.

Best of luck with the surgery. I will post a run down of my ...

Well, I'm in and she floats... most surprisingly she runs. Just finsihing off a few things (replacing shower pump, fixing horn, moving a running light) and I will be off and running.

I had a few b ...

Leo,

Good to see you aboard. How have you made out with the boat? I recently purchased a swim platform from the guy that sold you your pace (apparently he reomved it from the 40' Pace he bought). H ...

I know what you mean. I just need to put some varish on the swim platform and I can go in. The weather just won't cooperate.

Good luck with the manifolds. As of now this weekend doesn't look too ...

I hoping to go next weekend, so I'm going to leave them along.

I was debating whether to get my carbs rebuilt before the start of the season (as a precautionary measure). I had them both done last year, so probably don't need it. Started the boat on saturday and ...

I'm happy as long as she floats. Everything after that is a plus.

Terry,

I'm sorry to hear about your slip. Hopefully you can get a few more seasons out of her.

Sounds like you may get in before me, good luck.

Shawn

The first day of spring is a couple weeks away (cabin fever has set in). Any planned projects before launch? Launch Dates?

The good news is that it seems that my prelaunch checklist is pretty short ...

I winterized last weekend, after seeing the forecast I'm glad I did. Big change from last year. I was fishing on thanksgiving then.

Have a safe and happy holiday season.

Shawn

Leo,

Please give my best to Marie(and wishes for a speedy recovery). Hopefully you have a change of luck and its nothing major with the boat.

Shawn

Leo,

Thanks again. I should be down on Sunday so I'll take a look before heading out.

Shawn

I'll take a look. Thanks Terry.

The carb was just rebuilt, but I will tinker with it.

Vacation is over. weather was great, got to do some fishing (not a lot of keeping, but fun none the less). The boat ran great so long as I went below 2400. The old engine (port side) bogged down after ...

I'll keep an eye out and an ear to channel 9. Also, I know what you mean about the inlet. I've been hesitant to run it until I was sure the boat was in order.

Pulling out during the season... that takes dedication. I'm not sure I could do it.

Best of luck with the repairs.

Great news about your boat. You haven't been missing much on the fishing front. My week off offically starts tomorrow. My parents rented a cottage on the lagoon just up the road from Cedar Cove. My f ...

Thanks to all. I will change the belts and let her run.

Besides, I haven't had to use Seatow yet.

Terry,

I can spares of all the little things (and the tools to change them). Also, besides the main radio, I carry a hand held and my cell at all times. Not to mention the all important Seatow card ...

Okay for the last 2 years I have been slowly fixing up my 28' pacemaker to get it where I can trust it. Replaced a fews things that needed to be replaced and probably a few more that didn't. I have ta ...

Terry you hit the nail on the head. I've used the boat most every weekend since May and only had to fill up once (and that was only half way). The longer trips are fewer, but still a lot to do not to ...

Didn't end up fishing.. just took the boat out for a ride. A lot of fishing going on because of the tournement, so I passed on the fishing. The weather was great, but the green heads were terrible onc ...

Leo,

If you need a hand with the boat, please don't hesitate to call.

Shawn

Leo,

Are there any parks in this area that you can drive to by car? My extened family will be coming down in early August and not all of them enjoy boat rides. I was hoping to have them head to one ...

Terry,

Good luck with the boat.

Well back to fishing. I hope to take a shot this friday for some weakies at the mouth of the mullica... maybe try for a fluke or 2. Hopefully the forecast will cooperate.

Leo,

Thanks, it sounds perfect. The ride is never a problem. More often than not, the ride over is half the fun.

Shawn

They posted signs at all the fillet tables at my marina. Of coarse, they don't mention the reason why they want the carcasses. I found that out from the people that work in the store. Not much more th ...

Not to add fuel to the fire. The Rutgers Marine center is requesting the carcasses of keeper fluke. It appears they screwed up big time because something like 90% of the fluke over 18 inches are femal ...

I have no problem buying the pellets. The local Lowe's always has them in stock. I usually buy a pallet of them early in the season from the local Agway. I go through about 2 pallets a season (about ...

I added a wood pellet stove to the family room in the lower level of my house. The price of the wood pellets has gone up, but nothing near what oil has. I usually run the stove whenever I am at home a ...

I certainly have no complaints. Couldn't imagine a better vacation day.

Didn't make it out during the weekend, but spent the day fishing yesterday. A few shorts (15 inch range), lots and lots of skates and sharks.

Now if the sharks were as good to eat as fluke I'd be ...

Took the boat out yesterday. runs great.. hopefully it will stay that way. Its been a few years in the making, so it was nice to finally hear things running they way they should.

Beautiful day on ...

Will do. I just need the weather cooperates on Tuesday.

Great news about your daughter and grandson.

Sounds good to me. Best of luck with the wahoo.

Leo, get well soon.

Leo,

I agree with you 100%. Normally I am very careful when taking things apart so that I can easily retrace my steps. However, on this occasion I had some assitiance (with the best of intentions o ...

Its good to see some of us are getting some fishing in. I'm hoping for a shake down cruise on Sunday and a fishing trip on Tuesday.

Leo best of luck with the tourney (and welcome back).

The mechanic's name is Kenny (we spoke briefly last week). I have yet to meet his father, but I'll keep you posted.
