Deadliest Catch

Who watched it?

3 hours of new stuff on, best one was the "Legend of the Time Bandit"

They did a major refit last season, new engines, gennys, etc. Plus a little history on the boat. Had to paint the engine room twice.

Good show.

Yeah,wonder if BillD saw them big red Cummins

 

[Prdlobster]

Did any one else notice how flat the bottom of the Time Bandit was? It looked like a barge from the waterline down.

 

[Alison Tuna]

Yup.... I did see that... Interesting

Yup, was resting my feet flipping through the Beach Club channels after a 15 mile hike through Disney World FL parks ( with the grandkids and stumbled on the episode.

Nice new Cummins going in, looked like old 6Cs coming out.

I wonder if the "truck bedliner" guy who "sprayed" the engine room is still alive?

The FIRST thing I noticed when they hauled the boat was the "skiff" bottom of the boat?

Wonder if she "pounds" in a sea ????

 

[BGII]

Saw the hull shape too but.....with what that boat weighs, its deep draft, bulbous bow and its slow speed I doubt that hull ever comes out of the water enough to "pound." Plus, even though it's pretty flat, what's the length to beam ratio? Gotta be 4:1+ no? That hull shape is to carry the weight and be stable doing it I would think

there was a guy over on THT who was working on the refit/repower and started a thread about it, but someone told him to sit on it early on so not much was shown.

Most of the eastern rigged crab boats have those flat bottoms combined with bulbous bows to eliminate the pounding in all but the nastiest of sea conditions. I don't think the Time Bandit has a bulbous bow from what I can recall though. The bottom of the NW and other Marco boats have very different shapes.

Looks pretty bulbous to me.

I brought up how flat the hull was to my wife when we watched it last night. She didn't seem that interested. I think she just watches to hear Mike Rowe's voice.

It did look like a barge. I can't really even imagine how those things handle out in the sea?.

I only saw a few minutes of the pre-show last night. What happened to that kid from the Cornelius Marie (jake?)? He looked like he was 50 years old and had one foot in the grave b

Meth?

Damn shame. He had a lot of potential.

According to cummins...

"2x 425 hp KT-19M were replaced with 2x QSK-19M 660hp @ 1900 RPM"

Bill weren't those the motors for my tuna boat?

Keep cracking wise....

relatively recent addition. I have to admit I haven't watched the show regularly for 2-3 years now, they probably added it in 2009.

I don't think all of them stay up for days drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes.
