Hi Folks ... Looking to install a bow hatch (non opening glass) to my the bow hatch on my 31 Bahia in order to get a little more natural light below decks. In a prior life, I had an insert made up by Tom Slane of Hatteras fame. I've seen these on several B31s .... what is or has been the source ? Th...

Very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Saw him in Montauk, NY many times and ran into him in Pompano, FL once or twice. Great guy !!
This boat looks VERY good for the price asked.
My condolences to his family.

Hi there ... Was bouncing around in the cold on Long Island over Memorial Day weekend and stumbled upon two B31- FBC discards in the back row of a marina. Both would require TOTAL redo. Might be great for someone looking to do a conversion (not that I would do, but that's better than a chainsaw) to ...

Looks like could be a nice project for the right person. ..... no affiliation

Merry Christmas guys !! All best to you and family and lets hoe for a peaceful and healthy New Year for all !!

Steve, no advice on your Bahia question, but good to see you on board! You up north or down south at this time? North right now. CRAZY year !! I drove up late June, stayed 3 weeks, did a summer rental on Sag Harbor house for a few weeks (demand was HUGE), then drove up again in last week August and...

Hi guys .....
For those of us with Bahias, what (if anything) have you done to upgrade or fill in the side windows ?
Thanks

Bertramp

Heed what Joe is saying regarding scuppers. Several 25s have sunk due to their low scuppers.

Bertramp

Hi Folks.... I have a swim platform that I would like to install. While at local marina, marina owner stated that I would want to install an “inner skin” to stiffen the transom, as he experienced transom flexing when he installed a platform on his 28 express. Anybody out there have experience with s...

There was a big push for members on the site to post their hull numbers. This was a few years back. 31 ...says its a 31 6 ...says its a Bahia the following numbers are the actual hull number. I own Bahia 1003 and it is a 1970. Do a search for the prior thread ... and enjoy your boat "The few ... The...

Pete .... Sorry to hear this. I know EXACTLY where you keep your boat. Engines will probably be alright. My non-mechanical brain would say impellors, hoses, oil and filters, maybe heads ? Insurance companies (my prior to retirement bean counting was done in the insurance industry) work under the con...

Bertramp

Bob .....
Sorry to hear about your wife and glad to hear that she is doing better.
All best

Bertramp

Yeah .... the hatch is different from the FBC and Sportfish.
If someone has easy access, I would be "much obliged".
Charlie .... Do you still have your boat ??

Bertramp

Hi there folks....
I'm looking to do a skylite in my forward deck-hatch.
My boat is presently shrink-wrapped.
Can anyone with a Bahia give me the dimensions for the forward deck-hatch ?
It is not the same as the FBC forward hatch, it is actually a pentagon (5 sided)
Thanks

Bertramp

I just received a call that everyone has cancelled.......

Never met the gentleman.

Steve No doubt its a 31. Where have you been hiding? Hanging down here in Florida. I've go some projects going on in Sag Harbor, so I've been back and forth to there a bunch. Now that I have retired (end of 2018), we are considering selling current place in Lauderdale and downsizing a little.....st...

Take a look !! Boat looks like a B31 to me !!

Steve, I still would like to buy you a cold one sometime when we fly into FLL. I’ll send you a text the next time I go through there with a little bit of free time and see if you’re around. We should be down there a couple times this year. Danny Would love to have you stop by ....Please let me know

Bertramp

Steve Nice.. You are probably missing his feeding time. I am sure he eats well. He just may not like his choice's at your dock. You need to set up a Salt Water Tank. Get a throw net and see what you get under the lights and put the small ones in the tank. That would be cool. I travel back and forth...

Bertramp

Hi Folks ... As you may know, I live in Ft. Lauderdale on a canal. I recently purchased an under-water light for my dock. It floats off of a dive weight and with the aid of the electronic eye, comes on at dark and has attracted CRAZY amounts of fish. Lots of catfish, a few flat fish that swim/float ...

Bertramp

Those have been on EBAY for a while ..... $8.00
Bertram has stickers on their website that they are selling.....the others are somewhat bootlegging

Bertramp

Bob Lico .... not sure that you are both discussing the same 38 .... he is probably not thinking the earlier 38 wide-body

Bertramp

Techie ... check your PMs.

Bertramp

In the v-berth, on the walls, what kind of wool is that and how is that installed ?
Looks nice and should hold up well.
Thanks

Bertramp

Find a reasonable cost location in a warm place and use it as a "warm weather getaway" for the family

My 31 Bahia trailered from Lauderdale (Pompano) to Sag Harbor, NY without any permits.
It was under the radar until Pete P saw it on the LIE !!

Bertramp

trailer it back with a few cases of cabernet !!

Bertramp

I'm not into the "go fasts", but that's a cool boat !!

Bertramp

BOAT-US .... GEICO

Bertramp

Pete....
Looks good.
What is material used on counter top ?

Bertramp

look on Yachtworld ... there is what appears to be an original 26 outboard that has been sitting for years, probably needing fresh power and definitely needing some clean-up, but they are rare and the only one I was ever on was pretty nice ride.

Bertramp

Daniel ...
That was me, I was across the street and saw the explosion of the second plane hitting and folks jumping out of windows way up high

Bertramp

WOW .... looks great !!

Bertramp

As some of you may remember, I was one of the folks running through the streets that morning. Items on my desk on 9/10 were never again seen after I left that night. In NY, folks still hold it closer, as most of us know someone that perished. I'm in FL and it is remembered, but it is somewhat distan...

Sorry that I couldn't get there, but can't do 3 northern weekends in a row.
Glad that everyone got home without incident.

Big question ..... bottom paint color ??

My B31 Bahia went from Pompano to Sag Harbor on a truck without permits ......

[quote="Tony Meola"]For what you are describing, what Tommy said is correct. Stay with I/O or Outboards. I The one in Steve's link looks like a conversion. Now with that boat, you might have the beefed up transom. What you would then need to do if you wanted is to close up the transom and add the br...

Outboard 26 that's been on the market forever.
I'm hoping someone buys it, so as to keep my marriage intact !!

Bertramp

[quote="Carl"][quote="Bertramp"]I saw it in Tampa while being built .... serious ride !!

Ummm Steve...where are the pictures??

I took pictures of the 35s and was told very definitely that there were no pictures of the 61 to be taken !!

Bertramp

As I told a salesperson at the Lauderdale show ...."in my opinion, if it needs more than 2 outboards, it should have inboards"

Steve ...
I'm in Lauderdale and have a full sheet (4'x8') of Starboard (As I remember 1") in grey that I had planned on using and did not.
It is uncut in my garage. I cant get to it until next weekend, but I would part with for a nice discount.
I'm near Commercial Blvd.

Bertramp

Anyone have an idea on how many of the outboard ones were produced ?

Bertramp

I heard that there is one at Ocean Reef (Key Largo) that is off the charts and runs great !!
