Nice job Brewster...the Queen looks great...floating condo for the wife and one heck of battle wagon for you...got your bases covered..BH

I saw a neat trick at Onset Bay Marine to eliminate drip stains. They cut a piece of heavy window vinyl about 1.5" by 18" long, then they tucked it under the rub rail where the drip lines are. The flap diverts the water away just enough to avoid drips, its clear so it doesnt catch your eye and its f...

Where is it located down the Cape?

Mitch, The boat sounds like the Kimberly Ann, I looked at her a few years back, it is a flybridge from a 25 Bertram, had been repowered with twin yanmar 315s, 1 3/8 shafts, beautiful gelcoat, had some tabbing and bulkhead issues, had been fished hard...

Terry, Volvos faced forward...Electronic shift and throttle..One engine had a few gremlins due to a bad ingition switch..Boat seemed to move right along with the four bangers...Ive already purchased a set of reman cummins 5.9s...cant wait to see how she goes...BH

Last thursday I chartered the Miller Time out of Pt Judith RI. Capt Fred Miller runs a 1969 31 Bertram Bahia Mar that had been repowered this past winter with a pair of 225 Volvos. Cruised in the mid twenties, caught a load of fish blues and keeper bass.. the best part was the ride home...it blew fr...

JP,

Nice to see it done and having fun with your son, My son is 7 and it may take two years to float mine...Hope to post a similar picture..BH

Brew, That Bluefin have a survival suit on? Brrrrrr..Hungry fish will show up in the damndest places..You plan on an early start? BH

Got the check I see...Thanks again for setting this up...BH

John,

Check out the 31 Bahia Mar from East Quoge NY., I believe American Marine Built it as well. I spoke with them about one for my Bahia Mar and they quoted 5K and I needed to supply the template. I like Brewsters Hard Top for that kind of $.. BH

Dug, Still in here...thanks BH

Dug,
Count me in too...Great work. BH

I had major trouble with a mercruiser big block, shellfish in the oil cooler and the remote oil filter leaked constantly, tightened it up and the vibration as well as heat caused the leak to return. BH

Awlgrip supplied me with a step by step pocket refrence maual covering both Awlgrip and Awlcraft 2000. Every possible surface is listed along with detailed prep and paint steps. I am still fairing the hull with West System and yet to prime it. The Awlgrip web site may list how to get the reference b...

CWJ, I blasted my entire boat inside and out with corn, very good results, the inside looks like the day they laid up the hull and the bottom right down to the gel coat. Less aggressive than sand which is a good thing, only trick is to keep the gun moving and never camp out in one spot too long. Env...

Should have got my check last week, thanks for a great site, my 66 Bahia Mar is well on its way thanks to all the Faithful.

I have a 66 Bahia Mar undergoing a total refit...have yet to find any structural rot...Bulkheads and deck beams yes( they only painted most bulkheads)... stringers no..Not bad for 40 years old...Done right and with help from this site you will have a boat that could go another 40...Hey Brew got any ...

Sean, My folks went over for the weekend and grabbed a mooring, they were not registered but they said they had a great time walking the docks and talking to a bunch of great people. My parents ride is a 37 Bertram ,Westwater. Thanks for the Blue Moon owner who took a bunch of pictures on my moms ca...

Andre, Glad it made the trip ok. You wont believe what I used that door for...Im a big deer hunter and butchered 4 deer last season on that door made a nice table..I gave it a good scrub before sending ot your way...when sitting on the throne think of a big 8 point 230lb buck....Glad to help .. Bob ...
