The glasstech cockpits that I have seen end at the aft end of the engine boxes and offer a small piece that goes in the walkway between the engines. What do folks with Bahia Mars do for the remaider of the floor or is there a piece available that I am not aware of ?
thanks

My girlfriend's son is a senior at Virginia Tech, but is presently in IRAQ serving in the US Army through joining the Virginia National Guard. He will be coming home in a few months and his Mom had a "Welcome Home" banner made for him. The company that made the banner had contacted the families of h...

A really good guy. If you spent time around the fish docks of the east end of Long Island, at some point you ran into Tred. I just emailed him my wishes for a speedy recovery.

Done

Had fired a few over the years, but just bought my first gun yesterday. Mossberg Mariner 12 gauge (very tough to find in stock). Years ago, I never would have considered it, but "the times they are a changin'". My Mom passed away about a yr and a half ago, she was 86 and a half yrs old. When the Pol...

I missed a marker in Tiana Bay .. Hampton Bays, NY and had props that looked like the finest polished jewelry .... I was luck it was mud and sand.

try BoatUS

I heard raccoon ... same difference

If the option is there for marina owners/operators to buy lower ethanol level fuel or even zero ethanol level fuel, then there should be no problem. I was and am surprised to see a marina on the intercoatal near me advertising ethanol free fuel. If this is available to all marinas, then it's the mar...

great googlie mooglie ... the "Freebird" is everywhere !!

I think that woman is crazy .... a gun used for elk is awfully big !

Has anyone here that has diesels used these magnetic like devices (Algae X) attached to their fuel lines. Supposedly they aid in breaking up contaminents in fuel for better filtration. "Snake-oil" or do they really work?

They had 'em on display and for sale at the Lauderdale Boat Show.

I've slept in places not as nice as that bilge !!

did you build this windshield yourself or is it a Holmesy ? .... looks great !

Has anyone out there had experience with trucking a B31 FBC ? What has to come off .... hopefully nothing or just the windshield. This would be on interstate 95.
thanks

Gary ... you have a personal message

amazing how some simple things, when you see them done really RIGHT ... look GREAT !!

Hi there ... congrats on the new boat, i'm out looking also.
Where did you find the B31 that you bought ? What model is it ?

ask is 17k ... but in this economy ... make an offer. As for Steve from Block Island ... I'm originally from Sag Harbor ... boat would be great for gardiners bay. I can work with folks in Northeast for the shipping.

It's a Cummins 6BT - 210hp. Burns NO fuel ... cruise at 17kts ... T-Top, lean post, for FLA is very good, because you aren't running 70 miles to the canyon to fish. Very stable with the engine (and a hefty engine) smack dab in the center of the boat. A reasonable offer will buy someone a boat ... an...

Back again with more questions.
Thanks for putting up with me.
Based upon the following 315-814 ... what year would the boat be ?
thanks

agreed ... times 2. Would like to sell Topaz BEFORE buying a B31... but heart is fighting a very tough battle against brain.

This is in FLA and is what I want to replace with a B31. Diesel 24 Topaz.

I still have the 45 Hatt ... it's in Sag. Tower is gone and I painted it. I moved to FLA in July of 2007 and now miss the B31 that I had 10 years ago ... so I'm trying to pick one up for down here. Economics being as they are ... I'm looking to do it "priced right" and to take advantage of being in ...

Randall ...
Is that picture from the East end of LI ?
If yes .... did I meet you a few years back in Sag Harbor ? ... you were looking at a tuna tower on an old 45 Hatteras for a friend of yours.

Bertramp ....aka Steve Kelly

Thankyou .... that got to the question

Is it conclusive that the strakes changed ? ... do we know when and how ? Did the change maybe effect the lift, thereby the speed ?
thanks

They said on news (in Lauderdale) this AM that the wave heights at times were 14 ft (yikes) ... seemed excessive, but it was a Coastie that said it. Winds were out of the west on Sunday and they had small craft advisory on the east coast, so if they were getting same wind on west coast ... YOW ! I t...

Bob ... All the best from a Sag Harbor kid living in Lauderdale.

As fiberglass boats became "thinner" over the years (less glass) ... did Bertram ever change their layup schedule so that earlier "60s boats" would be different from late 70s or 80s boats ?
thanks

thanks guys.
Seems like fiberglass is the way to go. Twice the price, but then it's done ... for this lifetime.

Hi folks ... I owned a 31 about 10 years ago, sold it and went to "floating condos". I'm now looking at a 31 again and unlike before, I now have to consider ethanol. What is cost difference and product advantages and dis-advantages of an aluminum tank versus a fiberglass tank ? The boat is gas power...
