Good luck on the stbd side. Have the mechanic check the blast for listing before you push off from the hospital

Get the 31! Nine yrs ago I came upon the same situation. We had two boats- one sail, the other an i /o. I sold them both and we were in the market for a inboard. At the time, I was clueless as to what a BERTRAM 31 represented. I found out by accident. And there were two 31's. One needed work that I ...

Well, things are looking up for me. Yesterday the tarp came off the boat,some zincs went on and the boat has bottom paint left from last yr. The props are polished and the shafts look new. The helm ares has been refinished and new stailess hardwear installed. All in all, I'm ready to get some of tha...

I don't know if I'd use this idea when it comes to New York. And here's why.
As I'm over taking another vessel and indicating by horn as to which side I will pass him ( port or stbd ), how will he hear me?

Hi, Charlie. Looks like I'm in already. But then there is a 31 flybridge tied up at Fair Harbor, fire Is. all summer plus Fred Geis's KarFre in Morriches and WaterLou in Bablon. What about the Billy Joel boat in Huntington. Ya know , we could stage our own rendezvous. it would be grand. Hun's Old Ha...

Need the sink for my wife. And that's one reason I still have the boat.

Matt, I'd do what Randalllll suggestd. But when you do it, use ablative paint as your bottom paint. It costs more in the start but cheaper the following years.

My ablative paint comes off because of the high speed of the boat. But that's o.k. We like fast!

Who cares? You know, this is why going to a Bertran Rendezvous is soo great. It's like a boat show but you only see the boats you want'a see.

Isn't that right, Diesel Dug?

Charlie, I did mine by sand blasting right down to the gel coat. I mean all the paint came off. Three coats of Interprotect. That was it. $12.00 per foot, I hung the side curtins and put the tarp on the ground. Did the Interprotect myself and the three coats of paint. Call Dennis if you wish, 631 95...

please tell me why you don't take the top off the old tank and just drop the new tank inside of it? Besides loosing some tankage what else?

Diesel Dug, I remember when you fisrt put this up maybe four or so years ago. I download it because I knew that this was in the future. And my youngest guy and me went to the boat to execute and did exactly what was required. I used a bottle of French Champagne 'cause we don't drink or use anything ...

Harv, you better stay put and throw all this advice in a pile and go thru it. Hell, it's winter and this would be good on a Sunday afternoon. Sometime ago, I got hold of a copy of Nigel Calder's book, "Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manuel". It took just a week to get thru it. Believe me. I s...

Scott,
can't under stand the post about the "o"'s. I just got new glasses. Maybe you want the phone number!

Ok ... I went back and fixed it.

P.S. I signed up for the event in Montauk and haven't been able to get a slip. Somethings' wrong with the phone

Never heard of them. But that dosen't mean anything. Why don't you take the carb off the engine and get it rebuilt??

Welcome! And lota luck. I would not do the out boards. The boat next to me has two out boards @ 250 hp and they cost $21000.US each. How long do they last? Maybe 1000 hours. Get GM 5.7 liter. You'll be fine. They are throw away engines and parts are cheap. Maybe you could buy them here(in the U.S.) ...

Good luck with the new boat.Good times are ahead for you.

And with a BERTRAM you'll never look back!

Thinking of you and praying.

I didn't buy my first Hatt to impress anybody

You have to be kidding. Or your a sick puppy!

This happened to me three yrs ago. It was for 3 grand. I was upset. I got hold of the vender and told him, "three grand hurts me but it won't kill me. I'm going out Saturady night and have a steak dinner. But 3 grand is going to ruined your life." I said some other things and then called UV. He told...

I have two 100 watt light bulbs in the cabin and four 100 watt light bulbs between the engines. This works for me.

Just saw a commercial of interest for paint removal. It worked great on the TV. With a scraper all the paint came off on the first swipe.

I have to ask. It bothers the hell atta' me.
The Thuddd is the token out sider. You have to have one so the NY liberals don't say we're bigots.
But now two???

Hi, Andre. Dick Dean here! I had a computer problem and forgot my pass word and such after it was fixed. This was just about the time UV put the post up. So being such a great fan of Capt Patrick and the site, my accountant put a check in the mail unanounced (Jeez, I need spell check). So now we are...

How come the switch. Just because one is almost in your back yard, I'd rethink it. A B35 is no way near B31.
My family would like a 33 but put up with me and the spartan accomodations because I like the 31 that we have.
What's in your wallet? Does the 31 do it?

About us Yankees handeling guns etc. On the current battlefield, the Bronx, the Bros use pistols and knives. The Good Guys just use pistols. Yeah, thats right. We don't shot deer, we shoot each other. This is a tough game up here. People get killed. Has a deer ever brought down a redneck? Yesterday,...

Great job! I feel your pride. And I don't even own the boat. But the way this sand box works, we all have such a good feeling. Yeah, the democrats are always wanting to feel good. This is a different feeling - - like when you know your the best. And then we have Bob Lico. Good luck to all. Merry Chr...

very, very nice. The Anna E. is a looker.

I am running Michigan 18x18 quads with high proformance spark plugs and air filters. 3000 RPM means 23 knts for the boat. No doubt I loose on the top end but the cruise @ 19 knts is good. If I were to repower, I would buy two 454's from the junk yard. They go for $400/800 per engine for two bolt mai...
