I would try to refinish the pitted aluminum wheel----either painting or powder coating.

Craig Mac

I have a good pic--I can send it to anyone who can post it

Craig Mac

I had an original aluminum wheel in bad shape----Raybo painted it with Imron (aluminum color) over 20 years ago and it still looks great.

Craig Mac

There is some discussion on a Facebook page on boxes hinged on the side like a blackfin---definitely an early 60's boat. Also, the steering wheel is mounted on the starboard side of the bridge--- https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10227968012219922&set=gm.2800985476716918&idorvanity=1052254391590044

It's a really bad picture--but looks like a 25 with a cut-down windshield and controls moved further aft. Could be Dick Bertram's boat https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1113318566660857&set=a.758387358820648&__cft__[0]=AZWNidl8V2z2S7VBD2kNgmlb85zKf9A2U7dxaLOnQbTuMTcIGgANZ4oaRiGINdZvTJNVR-9lUMoNOh...

I think only Europe----I don't think they were sold in Australia.

Its missing the push start and horn holes. It is called a Stewart-Warner Hollywood Guage Panel https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F8c%2F1d%2F8f%2F8c1d8f487500669c93a3cdcf3e3af49e.jpg&tbnid=Bh2QXI2jTKRWRM&vet=12ahUKEwjIyuuOs_iCAxVGNlkFHdSvB_gQMygHegUIARD2AQ.....

Craig Mac

That's the model----interesting that all were inboards ----never saw one in the USA.
They had some interesting changes from the US version. I think their stainless-steel window frames
were a great improvement.

Craig Mac

I received the Michael Rybovich newsletter and noted they working on a 25 Riva/Bertram---never saw one in the States.

Craig Mac

I have a friend with a 33 Pursuit with twin Yamahas He has tried the props and did not see the claims for the technology and
is back to running the factory props.

I am pretty sure Capt Pat did a thread on this---not sure if it was on this board or the old one---I haven't been able to find it.

Craig Mac

West Coast style---I think the interior came out great.

I remember Marlin posting pics of his boat the WAHOO---he had fabricated a white drip/handrail---probably fiberglass---

The Bayliss Facebook page posted a few pics

It actually looks like there was teak on there judging by the number of holes.

Craig Mac

The original gauge panel is a Stewart Warner Hollywood panel-------

Tommy Sopwith's 1963 31 Bertram

Craig Mac

I have often heard that the split mold was a costly manufacturing process----but in the total cost of manufacturing a boat --I can't see it adding

significant $$$ to make a difference.

Craig Mac

I use Rybo as well--great for fiberglass & paint----but if you looking for more mechanical work --you could look at Wharton Creek or Jim's Marine Boat Repair (Jim owns a 31) in Maryland or some of the yards in the Carolinas.

Craig Mac

Bruce--would love to see more pics of your stang

Craig Mac

I know of 25's that were built in Australia---didn't know about 31's page 8/18

Craig Mac

There was some discussion on this boat on another site---$850K--$1 million # was mentioned --not sure if that's the resto cost or selling price.

Craig Mac

Soundings Mag wrote a piece on a restored 31 being displayed at the Newport Boat Show---some interesting details on the flybridge seating, windscreen and side rails.

This boat keeps popping up on my Boat Trader search

Understand Vikings move to CC's----but Bertram is a fraction of Vikings production----they are in too many market segments----should concentrate

in one and become a standout before venturing into others---pick a mission and stick to it.

Craig Mac

I just think they are fugly

Craig Mac

It looks like Bertram has lost its way again. https://sales.bertram.com/hubfs/Asset%20Library/02%20Products/CC%20and%20XC%20Series/28XC/Resources/Model%20Brochure/Bertram%2028XC%20Model%20Brochure.pdf?utm_campaign=Boat%20Shows&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=224294270&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_8-kGP2VXB8C4udNEvlidkSNq...

Over the years I have bought 2 replacement seats from Pompenette---the original design with a plywood base----which eventually rotted. I then purchased a second seat from Pompenete that was constructed of starboard with removable cushions----the starboard base is like a wet noodle---and you have to ...

Stamoid actually sells a specific cleaner---I use it but, am not really impressed with it.

Per Bayliss---- Our yard mechanical team supplied her with two Cummins 6BTA 370 engines with ZF gears, a Phasor 3.5 kW generator, a Seakeeper 3, and a 250-gallon fuel tank.

Craig Mac

I know it's pricey---but seeing what you get on the new boat market---not outrageous.

Craig Mac

From the Bayliss Boatworks July 2022 E-Bulletin The 31' Bertram refit has been well underway for the past few months.

Just found this on FACEBOOK market place--looks beautiful ---very pricey

I have not compared bronze & Nibral side by side, but was told by a knowable person that most production is using the same thickness for both---

Maybe some of the higher-tier brands refine the process to take advantage of the superior properties.

Craig Mac

Honestly, ---I don't see the need for two sinks in this cabin size----- I can't comment whether they use it or not after using the head....

Craig Mac

Saw this on Boat Trader----very pricey----nice interior ideas

The P2000F uses a flat bar stock of aluminum, the chairs I am asking about use tubular stock.

Craig Mac

Can anyone identify these chairs--looking for model or model #

Can see approx. 45 seconds in

Craig Mac

Peter--looks great ---starting to come together.

Craig Mac

Just curious --which style do you have?

There were 2 styles---also, what are you replacing them with?

Craig Mac

Not available in stainless---- I think the early style clamshell design is ecstatically the prettiest although probably does not flow the most air.

in this pic---facing towards the stern

blackfin, donzi, cary all had transom-mounted rudders

Craig Mac

I think Elite did some 31's with the transom-mounted rudders----never saw any comments on how they ran.
