Is that a factory hardtop ?

Bertramp

I thought that his new name was "Daddy Dug" !!

Bertramp

Thanks

Bertramp

Bertramp

Not bad for phone pics !!!
Neil, who is the window guy ?
Thanks

Bertramp

Damn Bruce....
You never cease to amaze me.
But, S&W and Mossberg are how I do it.
Only the Mossberg North, laws and all.

Bertramp

All the best !! and congrats on all fronts !!

Bertramp

Bob..... Sounds like you were at Jacksons Marina, Brew's home port.

Bertramp

Harv ....shoot me a PM with your email address
Capt. Lico ..... Steve "Bertramp" Kelly .... boat looked great !!

Bertramp

Daughter's family moving back to NY from Italy and wife coming up from FL on Saturday forced me to miss the festivities. I did get to Greenport, just in time to see Phoenix coming at me. Slowed, spun around and caught him (no easy task, that boat was steppin'), had to push the throttles way more tha...

I can't imagine how those families feel .....
Lots of "I never shoulda" and "I wish I hadn't" ....uugghh

Bertramp

Ocean in south Florida is usually pretty (very) flat in the summer. Seacraft is a good solid seaworthy (if maintained) boat. Kids that grow up in waterfront and boating families can be VERY capable at young ages. At 14, you tend to have more balls than brains in some scenarios. There's lots of fish ...

Bertramp

Thanks guys
It felt like i was on the low side and i was

Bertramp

For those of us without diesels, what is your idle speed in and out of gear ?
It stalled on me while leaving the dock, gave me a warm fuzzy feeling, kinda like peeing in my pants.

Bertramp

Tropic Star is on my bucket list too !!

A group of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, accompanied by two female >> teachers, went on a field trip to the local racetrack, (Churchill >> Downs) to learn about thoroughbred horses and the supporting industry >> (Bourbon), but mostly to see the horses. >> >> When it was time to take the children to the...

Bertramp

There are very few boats in general that don't need some work.....believe me, I know. Take your time and make sure that you take the time to enjoy it ... and the platform for the kids ... KEY, keep the family happy with it and it will make your life easier for the time and $$ that you put in. All th...

Bertramp

Oldie but goodie.....I love the blue hulls!!

Bertramp

Saw a blue hulled B31 yesterday in Babylon ... "East Wind"
Is that you Pete ?
Nice

Bertramp

BIG GRIN !!!! ....... all the best

Bertramp

Survival lesson of the day:
when you drive through the lion safari park and they say "keep your windows closed" .... keep 'em closed !!

Bertramp

I would say that if it needs new power, time to sell it to me on the cheap :-) ........ I just love those 26 outboards !! Can't fault a man for trying !! I've always had 2 strokes, but as I spend time with friends that have 4 strokes .... gotta admit that I would go that way in the future ... and I ...

Bertramp

Funny thing is that no one with a Bertram refers to it as a Trojan ......

Bertramp

I hear ya Pete.
In my mind any boat that needs more than 2 outboards should have inboards......and the hundreds of thousands that these center consoles command in price is crazy !!

Bertramp

I too am guilty of the Bertram bug (like all of us) ... I've had:
25 Bahia
28 FBC
31 FBC
31 Bahia (current)
... mixed in with that were a few "H" boats and always a whaler of some size or another.

Bertramp

Im bean counter, its easy to blame them, but much/most of the direction of a company is determined by owners and the board of directors. They lost touch with their market. If/when costs are to be cut, the dollars to be saved are summeld up by accountants, but the engineers job is to say "yes but usi...

Bertramp

I used starboard (i think 3/4")on a 24 Topaz for vberth doors and it worked great.
Routered some vents and never had to re-address.

Bertramp

There's a real slick 31 in Pompano on a lift called Mr. Toad.
I woulda taken pics for you last weekend if I had known.
All the best in FL.
Does this mean no more Jackson's at all ?

Bertramp

You're in FL..... trolling, trying to catch some tuna........a bunch of dolphin (Flipper) swim by.......pack up and move ? ....... stay near, as fishing will probably improve ?
I've heard both sides ......
Please enlighten me

Bertramp

I passed a northbound B31 yesterday 3:00ish on the
intercoastal in Pompano.
I was in the yellow bahia heading south.
Anyone I might have seen on here ?

Bertramp

I have no problem with this ... I would love to see the 31 viewed like a 63 convertible 'vette !!

Bertramp

I agree with Patrick !! ... and I still like the reliability of revolvers as your back-up

Bertramp

It was an email from someone I once worked with .... subject was his name .... there was a file in the email, which I didn't even open.
Changing AOL password seems to have cleared the problem.

Bertramp

If you get an email from me trash it, i got hacked

Bertramp

there was a company a few years back that specialized in doing 25 Bertram conversions to center console and I think outboard.

Bertramp

center console is nice ........ but like outboards more than IOs

Bertramp

Makes sense, but how much more do they weigh than 6 cylinder GM blocks with outdrives, all mounted at the transom ? I think the outboards (at least 2 strokes) might weigh less.....

Bertramp

I like !!
Is that just a combo swim platform/outboard bracket ?

Bertramp

Years ago, just inside of Shinnecock inlet, I missed a marker (idle speed) and got into some water (or lack there of) in a place where i didn't belong. My props were unharmed, but boy were they polished ...looked like gold !!

Bertramp

You guys are so harsh ..... he just wanted to "wet sand" the boat bottom !! .... and get it done quickly .......

Bertramp

gorgeous !!
pricey, but how much is a 32 Regulator ?

Bertramp

Do a search on-line for boat stands ....a bunch of items pop up.
Even try Craigs list in your area.
Where are you located ?

Bertramp

Good to hear, needless to say I/we want the best for the name.
At the Lauderdale show, when I mentioned Bertram, everyone looked at each other with a look like "he doesn't know yet that grandma died" ..........

Bertramp

where did you read ? .... would love to get more info.

I looked on yachtworld ... Bertram 30 built 1993 - 1998ish.
38 Specials were an 80s vintage and are REALLY nice....that does look like a Formula or a Cruisers Inc.

Bertramp

That's probably a nice boat, but 38 Specials were/are a very NICE ride !!
I know which I would choose !!

Bertramp

I think someone scooped up the 20 Bahia, as the email contact doesn't go through.
I considered losing my 21 Impact - commercial whaler for it.

Bertramp

So .... just as the smoke has cleared from the refrigerator catastrophe .... I say to my dear wife "I've been on a plane almost every weekend for the past 2 months heading to Florida...you should come north" (said this 2 weeks ago, not being able to predict weather) .... well she's here in NY, her r...

Bertramp

My wife is heading to Italy in April, if that helps (Guys ... if something happens to me, suspect foul play) :-D
