I was told / possibly wrong that u could not have two stations
With one control per station
I'm dealing with this now on my 25 outboard repower with mechanical
Morse controls

spencer

Getting ready to set up the fuel system for polishing the diesel
what is everyone using Racor? Tony athens seems to have a nice product,
Just curious what most people are using

spencer

Thanks guys
Will start to post some pics of progress

When u guys reinstalled your new bulkheads did you thru bolt them or epoxy them in place or both
Looks like mine had a lot of flexing due to the poor choice of material

spencer

Thanks guys
I have a panel of 3/4 inch preskinned
Panel think nida core was consenting this, already finished
Need to cut the shape only drawback would be compression when thru bolting
And holding screws

How many guys with bertram 25's are using trim tabs?

I am rewiring the boat during the repower and am thinking of removing them, they are always a
maintance issue , the boat is stored in the water.

Steve,thanks and happy birthday!

the engines are mercury 225 two stroke carburated , but use a computer for timming

spencer

Steve glad everything turned out well Had an interesting crossing on july 2 , 90 miles into the crossing near great sail cay (my bertram 25 and another boat) got into a pretty nasty lightning storm , there was a close hit and the port motor died, and we were not able to get it going so limped the ne...

spencer

Steve called all rentals and no go . Guess that's what I get when I let other people share the responsibilities But on a good note I'm bringing the Bertram 25 So it's a tad bigger than what I wanted but will be fun We will head over the 2 of July And stay at lubbers , might leave the 25 and be force...

spencer

Thanks will look them up

spencer

Steve, not to derail the thread can u recommend any boat rentals or private owners willing to rent a boat 20 foot or so , I will be on lubbers from the july 2-9 but all boat rentals on marsh harbour are booked We are comming over on a 31 catamaran but was trying to find a smaller boat for the other ...

spencer

I will be in lubbers from the July 2-7 rented 2 houses with docks
So if you come that way the door is open

Steve is right around the corner

spencer

Harry , man that just made me get sick to my stomach,

She will be fine she is in good hands

spencer

thanks guys
we are trying to go over april 4
called frazier's but no call back will try again
that is what we are looking for

Hopefully weather will permit glad its not this weekend its pretty nasty in west palm beach

spencer

Sorry pic only has two , it thought it had three
But at that point I was quite alcohol handicapped

spencer

Did anyone else see the 31 bertram refit with triple 350 yammaha four strokes?
Had a complete glassed in transom bracket making the boat be more like a 35 foot boat
I did not have my phone on me to take pics

Think the company name doing it was Stuart Fiberglass

spencer

Any recommendations where to stay ?
Does not need to be fancy /fishing trip
Thanks

spencer

Thanks guys, have had a lot going on in my life, so things slowed down for a little. Im shooting for getting her wet in a year
Gass tank was set in for the second time, good story on that, glassed in the live well , starting exhaust next.

Navatech, cummings 250's

spencer

That is impressive

spencer

spencer

I do not , but they just followed the perimeter of the aluminum frame , one had them rolled up and them tied with a strap so they were still attached but resting in the up position. the 25's there had notched transoms instead of brackets that I saw. If i was going that route would do a slide on the ...

I have removed my starboard side rear window, had to lift the windowup in the track and then pull the bottom out. It was a bitch to do. looked like they had been replaced before so maybe the tolerances were off, but it can be done I have to do my foward window on the port side, broke it with flying ...

spencer

sorry misread the question , thought you were asking for the width between the posts,
Marlin has his on a lift send him a pm

spencer

I think Pete Fallon told me in was 12'8"at the widest point near the bridge area,
do a search on the boat lift on the board and see what comes up
we talked about it earlier

Spencer

Pete
Boat is indoors at Ramsey marine in Rivera

Go by and check it out , getting ready to put motors in
I hope for the last time

Had to take a break , new house new problems, trying to get back on it
But got the 25 to fish so life is good

spencer

Ditto what was said
I would be All over thsis boat
But already tied up with my rebuild
Best of luck with selling her

Pete was the first member I met
Came down and saw my boat when
It was shipped down from Alabama

Looking to head over to the marsh harbour mid august, been there many times but usually on a boat with fishing and diving a priority. This time bringing family , son is 3.5 years old, and wife, looking for quiet relaxed spot- not taking the boat so dockage is not necessary item. Any small resorts th...

any pics can be seen of the set up with the outboard/bracket and tower

spencer

Ditto
With the starboard side
Ran under the gunnel , from side cockpit console to transom
Where I have a bracket , all goes thru transom to engines
Steering , gass lines, oil lines , cables , and wiring harnesses
All goes thru the bracket made by salt shaker marine

spencer

Capt,

thanks, was dealing with the same problem

Spencer

spencer

Stunning!!!

spencer

I used coosa board and made a piece that reinforced the hole area from the gunnel
Where the engine boxes terminate to the stern, epoxied in place, no rot to deal with
But plywood would work also just seal it with epoxy

spencer

my 61 was original blue gellcoat

spencer

Was just in panama at tropic star
Dock master new the boat and where it sits on the reef
Brand new boat
