My harbor on occasion depending on wind waves and weather can get as skinny as 2ft or even a bit less. I can trim up and get in and out with little difficulty. Also we do raft up near shore and the outdrives off the bottom allow me to breath easy. My trailer height is under 12’ with my Nextrail trip...

That’s awesome thanks for sharing.

Came across these fellows from Finland. I think they're having fun with this.

What Danny said!

I took my old frame to the local glass company and they made me one out of plexiglass. That was 2004 it’s still just fine, they drilled the holes on the bottom and fit it in the frame. Clear not coke bottle green but looks and works great!

MarkS

Pictures please!

MarkS

Way to go!

First hand knowledge of a plan to stay around $20,000 was NOT even close to where I ended up and like Cam said, find a good runner pay a good surveyor, someone familiar with Bertram’s. The hull is so thick often moisture testing is not possible for those who have never surveyed a real boat! My trans...

Thumbs up

MarkS

Thanks for the input guys!

MarkS

Hey every boat needs a bartender! He can fish with me!

MarkS

What do you recommend I flush with?

MarkS

Tony it’s a flat screwdriver tip. I’m just not that strong. Aluminum case vs stainless steel screw. Piss poor design that continues to this day. The Merc mechanic that told me to replace the gear case was maybe 40 . He said in ALL his years he’d never seen one stripped. How do you argue with that ki...

MarkS

Rawaleigh, I think their made by a company called SDI I see their adds on the back of Soundings all the time. They are inexpensive by comparison which of course gives me a little pause, plus I did just have that leg rebuilt fall of 16 so it would be double painfull to pitch it over a stripped vent s...

MarkS

So when I changed the gear case oil in my lower units last year I stripped the threads on the upper vent nut. Figured I would attend to it in the spring it held tight enough that the oil wasn’t running out so I called it a spring fix. Also sort of figured this to be a fairly common occourance with a...

Steve if you have regular HVAC guy you use he may be able to help. I don’t remember the numbers R12 R20 and the newer refrigerants but many of them are no longer available but many in the industry have captured and retained expired unavailable refrigerants. Just for shits and giggles I’d start there...

Welcome

Good one Charlie! My odds are likely better with Tony than if I was to bring the wife but sadly no. I have an alcoholic buddy with a fishing problem that wants to come. I am willing to offer my services in the “Making up lies and telling stories department“ but other than that Tony is on his own thi...

MarkS

Count me as a solid 2

MarkS

I saw that too Dug! He looks like a nice young kid with a great boat! Should put Bluebeard to work for a bunch more years!

MarkS

Tony the drinking story is way more fun! Spoil sport....

MarkS

Jbottoms,
Just a heads up about Tony, he drinks......... a lot........

MarkS

MarkS

Geez Tony just have start those tennis lessons again she won’t even miss you while you’re gone!

That’s right, I’m here to help. :)

MarkS

I would love to do a TSL trip with the faithful!

MarkS

Is it time to beat the drum Bruce?

MarkS

Great story Rawleigh! Thanks for sharing. Condolences.

MarkS

Merry Christmas to all! Jeez Tommy I am sorry. You and your brother sure made us feel like family last June, short time we were there.
As well Pete your year was extremely hard and my heart goes out to you.

Wishing everyone a great 18.

Happy holidays!

MarkS

Yannis feel free to send a case this way! :)
Happy Thanksgiving faithful.

MarkS

Good luck Peter! Repeat after me........I love chasing sparks I love chasing sparks......

MarkS

Looks good Harry!

MarkS

I’m no help here but the sterndrive stears like a dream.

MarkS

Tony,
The trick in life is knowing when to keep your mouth shut. For me it’s a work in progress....

MarkS

You got toilet paper stuck to your shoe Mike.....

MarkS

Just went through a similar deal with my sunbrella patio umbrella which is also white. Mold bug guts local factory spew and general swine had built up on it for years. Tossed it in the wash machine with bleach and detergent and it’s like branny new!

MarkS

Hey Bruce thanks from cheddar land. When the piggy gets low let us know....

MarkS

Nice!

MarkS

Stephan I finally took a look today. I have 3 boxes of a Amtico product called wild Hickory. It leans a bit toward teak but a bit browner. PM me your email and I’ll send you some pics. There is 27 ft in a box if you like it you get all 3. Send Bruce a site donation of course in exchange. We can disc...

MarkS

Again I have been up to my elbows in alligators and have been to the warehouse but not looked for the LVP. It was teak and holly and had some linear footage of scroll that matched. I promise I will look soon. I have a sinking feeling it was short of 20 ft though.

MarkS

Sorry for the late reply let me see what I have laying around and I'll get back to you.

MarkS

Stephan how many sq ft do you need? I have some Karndean which is superior to Amtico in my opinion.
