My Florida boat (non B-31) has a tower and holders for outriggers. Poles will be 15' or 18' without a spreader. I've considered telescoping poles (so as to save the last few feet on clearance) vs. fixed poles (to save on cost). Does anyone have experience with telescoping poles as to pain in butt or...

Bertramp

My over-sized are being installed in a week or two.
My originals are in NY and are yours for a contribution to the sight and the shipping costs to your location.
They have the square key in the middle of the shaft.

I think I saw that boat at Scoponich's yard in Hampton Bays a few years back

Bertramp

and tell them that you are a member of B31 club.
The guys on LI will probably remember me.

What Charlie said ......
LENCO

My Bahia (gas powered) came north on a triple axle trailer pulled by a dually pickup. Bimini was down and well tied. Everything in the cockpit was tied in place and the boat got through it OK. I would lose the shrink wrap .... tie EVERYTHING in place ... wash it when I put it together in FL and run ...

Bertramp

One good thing is that your seasonal timing is right to be purchasing.
No one sells their Florida home in November to go north.
Prices after "season" tend to be more buyer friendly.

Bertramp

Bob .... I'm familiar with Florida real estate, but I'm further south (Lauderdale & Pompano). I fell in love with Stuart and have been in Manatee Pocket. Area reminds me of the East End of Long Island. Prices are similar to Ft. Lauderdale ....ie: they aint giving anything away, at least not if its o...

I think in Naples area

Bertramp

contact info please
thanks

As anyone that has lost a child will tell you ... "it is a a life changing event !"
Horrible scenario .... condolences.

Unfortunately, I see the market as being almost all outboards. If you look at the magazines and what is being advertised, you see more and more 30, 35, 40 footers with outboards.....speed is the key. I think that some of the really sweet re-dos and new 35s might wind up overseas. Aside from that ......

Bertramp

exceptional !!

Bertramp

I remember those docking lights..... I think made/sold by a company called "Barnegat Docking Lights".
I also remember how they ultimately leaked and became a pain in butt, with most being pulled and the holes glassed up.

Bertramp

I knew of the mold that I got here in Florida that went to Bob H's contact, I didn't know of a second mold ......did I miss ?
Glad it's around

Bertramp

Original 26 (after the discontinue of the 25) had I/Os.
26.2 had either straight inboards or (a very few) had outboards.
There is an outboard one near me in Sag Harbor.
I would love to get hold of one of the outboard ones.

Bertramp

Ice blue / blue bottom paint
F L yellow / green bottom paint
lite green / green bottom paint
lite grey / black or green bottom paint (the grey is not common, but looks good)

Bertramp

I last saw Bluebeard at Montauk Marine Basin as Carl Darenberg (a friend and gift donater of our website) pointed it out to me.
Now Walter and Carl are both gone.
Good to see Bluebeard is in good hands !!

Bertramp

I just had a leaning post done for my STRIKE by Welding World in Miami (305)778-1221 www.weldingworldinc.com
They did a great job at a great price and I know that they ship all over.

Bertramp

You do have good memories .... cherish them !!

Bertramp

My best for a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year !!
Pete F. .... very sorry to hear of your loss and the tough year it has been. Keep holding up buddy ....all the best

Bertramp

Pete .... two things:
1 - When on the Island, I'm gonna track you down and take a look ... I need to do mine too, but I'm a Bahia, so should be easier
2 - Listen to Marlin, nice guy, VERY knowledgeable ......one look at his boat would convince you ...... "off the charts " !!!
all the best

Bertramp

In a prior life, I had a 36 Hatteras with CAT 3208s @ 270 HP.
Good engine and not so tweeked that it wants to expode.
The 270 is a turbo engine, the 210 is the natural.
I think they pushed 'em up to 350 HP in some models

Bertramp

Anyone gonna be around for the show ??
I usually try to do during the week, but can only sneak weekend this year.

Bertramp

gotta get a copy and have it autographed !!

Bertramp

Incoming, The 28 is smaller than the 31 by approx. 2 feet. It is also having a deeper vee than the 31 by 1 or 2 degrees. If you look up under yachtworld for 28's for sale, there are currently more than 20 boats available, both in Europe as well as in the US. However, NONE of them has a tuna or marl...

You are surrounded by expensive tastes in that area....[/quote]
Yeah ... I'm a poor kid that lucked out by being in the area before it became "cutesie"

As an aside, we swung through Sag Harbor Saturday - is that your 31 backed in at the fixed town dock near the SHYC? Best of luck.[/quote] That be me .... the trip north beat on it a bit, as did having too many boats, but it's doing OK and is only gonna get better. The larger money pit has been sold,...

Hi Guys ...
My Canvas Bimini and Izenglass sides got done in durng the shipping north (they were old and needed a replacement anyway) ...... Can anyone recommend a canvas person on LI for East End ?
Thanks

Bertramp

Great pictures .....
Great memories .....
Nice !!

Bertramp

Nice !!

Bertramp

Bruce ... We scraped a few with a key and there was some moisture and it WAS foul smelling....
My plan is/was to have it blasted to open 'em up as soon as hauled and then do the fill and bottom paint in May, so it would be open for 7 months

Bertramp

My thoughts are to haul boat end of September, put it on side of house, have it blasted, cleanse whatever the blasting doesn't get..... In spring Interprotect and bottom paint. Boat sat in water in FL from 2009 to last week with very minimal haul time. In the Northeast, my plan is for 06/01 - 09/30 ...

Bertramp

I may have a spare..... will take a look

Bertramp

Hi there guys ... Well the Bahia is now north. We did notice some blisters and the plan is to address them over winter. For you Long Island guys, who did you use for the sand/shell/soda blasting ? The boat may winter right on the side yard of my house .... and I would like to have it done there Thanks

Bertramp

Lowest point on our boats is fairly forward. My Bahia is a light boat, gas engines, no tower, glasstech and coosa deck. I'm thinking that as water ran to lowest point, it ultimately got so that scuppers were not draining, everything just ran forward, so inches of rain in square footage of cockpit is...

Bertramp

Well .... The heavy rains in South Florida (approx 14") last week got me. Not sure exactly what caused it and my wife was north, so it wasn't caught as soon as I would have liked for it to have been. I got wet ..... she was down in the bow, a neighbor out for a spin called me. Cabin had water half w...

This story brought a smile to my face !!
Is the 38 for you or a work project for someone else ?

I had a 500# mushroom anchor with heavy chain "disappear" from a marina at one point.
I was young .... now-a-days, marina owner would have had a much harder time

Personally .... I like the classics. The Corvette with matching numbers is worth more $$......how many people are killing themselves for "altering" their split window coupe 'vettes ? I like outboard boats, but as I told a sales guy at the Lauderdale Show ... if it needs more than 2 outboards it shou...

I know Lighthouse...
how long ago ? what time of year ? what did they charge ?
thanks

Dug....point well taken, but want to use it summer in NY and need to free-up dock here in FL.
As for running it north:
-I don't have the time
-Would consider more if it were diesel

Thanks.....
I will give em a hollar

Bertramp

Hi There ....
Anyone know a good shipper to bring my Bahia from Lauderdale to Long Island.
I've heard that there are big $$ associated with coming into NY, if that is case, it can get a drop in Jersey and I will run fom there.
Thanks
