A fine group of young men...raised by parents who should be so proud..Being an American to me means doing the right thing without the need for recognition or pat on the back..just because. BH

Bob H.

Here's to The Comorant Princess a celebration of 50 amazing years!!! A true inspiration for my build. My old girl also a 66 vintage began her journey in February. To amazing friends great boats and memories to last a lifetime.."cheers".BH

Bob H.

Great go pro vids Jimmy...always have a boat full during the season..when it's time to put her away...solo..but worth it!!
May be intercostal marker Yannis cruising too fast to tell..BH

Bob H.

Rudolph has been telling a few lies..I could go for a team of Eyeballs towing my sled.BH
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all in the sandbox...

Bob H.

Gif, That should get you around in a hurry...from potters to cocktails on the deck in 3.2 seconds...need to get you a package..stop by after work.BH

Bob H.

Possibly a warranty motor returned and taken out of circulation. BH

Bob H.

all the above plus fuel lines, return lines..BH

Bob H.

Steve, It is a perfect shot of your 31....like stepping back in time..would have been nice to ask the owner(you) and give credit to where it should be given. BH

Bob H.

Great wedding Tom..thanks for sharing. BH

Bob H.

Tony Shearwater had big old cummins v-8s I think 903s. It's repairable, set up for diesel from the factory Gif kept her in great shape. A time capsule that deserved the rehab it surely was headed for down south.BH

Bob H.

Mark, Sad to say it is.BH

Bob H.

Dug, Who is doing the tower? BH

Bob H.

Happy sweet 16 Bertram 31.com!!! To Capt. Pat thank you for assembling the sandbox for the rest of us...met some of the greatest people here and have made friendships that stand the test of time just like our 31s. BH

Bob H.

FYI plywood 2x4s and cedar shingles your best friend when mocking up ramps. BH

Bob H.

Well done Capt Pat a true testament to you n Bruce..time is a pure test for a builder. You listening Bertram. BH

Bob H.

Tom, try hanging the transmissions from the gantry to get your rear mounts set. The angle is what it is and much lighter to work with. I then found line drawing for my engines and made up a sheet of plywood to get me close. Eventually you do need to hang both to get it just right. I couldn't use the...

Bob H.

Looking good Tom...just stripping it all out and getting it clean and prepped is a TON of work..oh the memories this brings back..BH

Bob H.

I'd say she is fine to move across the yard..hauling her 1000 miles maybe not. Looks like you got some good side to side bracing with the bulkheads. When I took my 31 apart I took a bunch of measurements and when I cut the top free she didn't move. BH

Bob H.

If your going to check out..BH

Bob H.

Tom, That's a great fall trip.. We are heading out next week..Our best trips have been late Oct early Nov..BH

Bob H.

Corey, Having raised a roof on Resolute I can attest that it can be done..I stopped counting $ and time..I used custom jigs for the cabin and roof, overlayed with foam, covered in glass, lots of fairing and sanding, did I mention lots of fairing and sanding..if your still reading this and you have a...

Bob H.

Tom, My welding buddy made a gantry for me it's the one piece of equipment that I couldn't do without. Only way I could build Resolute singlehanded. Good luck with the repower..lots of pics..Three amigos..BH

Bob H.

Thanks for the feedback guys...Necessity is a beast of a ride, I will be offering long range tuna trips starting next season. The bottle is for helium, previous Capatin Ben Fairey is a live bait fishing master and when the kite won't fly you add a big ol balloon. The live well can hold over 200 live...

Bob H.

Had Necessity tied up at pt Judith after run from Alabama, manager asked if I could move her off transient dock just in case so we headed out Friday morning to run up the bay to protected waters. NE 30 gusting 35-40 no back waves this big girl ate them up with just a lil spray on the glass.Tap the p...

Bob H.

1999 Resmondo 62 built in Orange Beach Alabama, charter boat named Necessity. Think of it as Resolutes big sister. The house is where I got my inspiration for my 31. I've watched these boats run in and out of Perdido Pass for years. Long range tuna boat, water maker, ice maker, big fuel capacity, pa...

Bob H.

Capt Pat great work...like you said water will be like gold in the future, I see so much wasted here in the northeast but when u get 100" of snow people think it's never going to dry up. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see what's next..BH

Bob H.

Bob H.

Gif new ride has the Furuno AIS awesome shows track and CPA closet point of arrival lets you know who is out there( if they have one)BH

Bob H.

will never forget that day...BH

Bob H.

Al, Sharp looking ride...love the original top, those hatches in the roof are better than AC, I just crack em open and it cools you right off underway. Go enjoy Miss Amy and all the hard work to get her in shape. Hope to see you at one of the gatherings.BH

Bob H.

Thanks Capt. Pat, you set the bar high the rest of us are just trying to keep up. If we follow your lead in 50 years there will still be a bunch of 31s running circles around new boats. BH

Bob H.

Lin, Glad to hear Brew is making good progress on his way to Naples. The princess is one of a kind and stands out in any harbor. I was so glad to see her one more time in greenport, that sea foam green can be seen from miles away. BH

Bob H.

Cam, I used plexus adhesive to do my "structural" bonding, the glass will break before that stuff cuts loose. I would then make a nice filet on the outside and a bigger filet on the inside with some 1708 tabbing just to make it bulletproof. Probably overkill but that's just how I do things lol. BH

Bob H.

A few shots of Bahia Moon motoring along, thanks to Bertramp aka Steve Kelly. A great time indeed got a tour of Shelter Island thanks to the Lico family and ride over with Jeff Pagano on Wits End, hope the engine mount fixed worked out for you. Enjoyed hanging out and talking Bertram's with everyone...

Bob H.

Glad to hear your almost done. Looks great those guys do some nice work. I'm a bit partial to
Bahia Mars. Love the woodwork just enough to dress her up. Follow Walters cleaning recipe
And only tiptop teak oil. Just did my woodwork today in prep for the NE Rendevous. BH

Bob H.

we will need forks n stuff for the lobster boil as well, I will pick up enough for both bbq and boil. Harry arrives Thursday afternoon, we will shove off early Friday morning. That BBQ sounds pretty damn tasty, Harry is brining some sausage that guarantees a clogged artery or two. A patron will be h...

Bob H.

Bayside, nice job!! Love the woodwork, gloss finish? A great feeling when you get to the end and finally get to enjoy all that work.BH

Bob H.

I took a ride to Mendon today and saw Shearwater, a sad sight indeed. Gif had oh so carefully packaged her up for the trip labeling everything for the new owner. She slid forward over 8' after some dipshit driver cut off the truck, then decided she needed to make a left turn leaving truck driver no ...

Bob H.

Harry and I should be there by noon on Friday. Safe travels to all. BH

Bob H.

Gif, That really sucks...like Capt Pat said hope they have good insurance. The guy who moves Resolute has dozens of stories about being cut off, he said people don't realize that you just can't stop on a dime, no consideration. Keep us posted. BH

Bob H.

Dinner is all lined up for Saturday night at 6:30. Charlie will get back to me on the final amount per plate. Good news lobster prices have come down a bit. Glad to hear we got a few more coming out even just for the day. If 34 Hatt can drop by so can you guys lol..can't have the Hatteras rendezvous...

Bob H.

Jacky, I went with the ultra leather, light tan color easy to clean with any hand cleaner with pumice keeps it soft and cleans up any stains. BH

Bob H.

Capt Pat, I had a feeling you wouldn't be able to attend. Won't be the same that's for sure. An opportunity for the new guys to step up and meet a great group of people. I attended quite a few rendezvous' without a Bertram and these guys made me feel right at home so if your building one or want to ...

Bob H.

I'm in Rhode Island but haven't seen this 31. Looks clean and Hunter Scott has done a few top shelf rehabs. He now builds custom cabinets, great wood worker. If it is something you want me to look at drop me a line I can give it a once over.BH

Bob H.

Great job Bob, cat wait to hear all about lightning. Now let's get a few more Bertram brothers to head on down to Greenport. Keep me posted on how many for the lobster dinner. BH

Bob H.

I would like to get a final count by July 22, 2015. That will give Charlie at Southold plenty of time. Chime in in with your numbers. Thanks guys see you soon. BH

Bob H.

I should arrive around noon, I will bring a box of trash bags so we can show the powers that be in Greenport we are a good group of guys. Don't worry about your deposit Bob Lico, just look at our 31s I think we know how to keep things clean. I will need a close count for the dinner at least a week b...

Bob H.

Nice work Junior..hmm go to last day of school and learn ?? Or put a bigeye on the deck before July?? You learn so much more out on the blue.BH

Bob H.

Spoke with Charlie at Southhold Seafood he has us booked for Saturday @6:30 New England Clamboil with lobster, mussels, steamers etc. he said shouldn't be more than $30-35 a plate. Keep me posted on a head count, all are welcome. BH
