Carl, are you saying the quality has gone down since then?

Diego

Getting some new props for "Catalina" and would like to see your expert thoughts on choices. I found some new TEIGNBRIDGE PROPS (NIBRAL) from a friend at a good deal. Anyone have these props on their B31? Any other choices that I should consider? Thanks for the help!

Diego

Been getting the boat ready for the cold water season. Here's a little preview.

Hope you enjoy.

I have Capt. Pats oversized rudders on my boat, and with my Volvo D4-300 I slow troll live bait with my starboard engine and am able to keep a good heading while keeping the speed under 3 knots. Its about 2.5 without any current.

Diego

Hey Peter, In my opinion if your looking for a good all around Mahi and tuna rig that you can someday change into something else, i would probably go with the Shimano Talica II, probably in a 16 or 20 size. This are a two speed reel and are very small in size and weight. And they pack a punch. You c...

Great person, fisherman and ambassador to the world of fishing. Our prayers to his family and friends.

thanks!

Diego

Hey Capt. Pat,

With those Todds tubes, what would be the best way to stick it to the transom?

Diego

Hey thanks a lot guys! Very valid points. The Todds looks like a great option too.

Diego

Diego

Hey guys, anyone have a good idea and/or tips on what is the best and safest way to install tuna tubes to the transom of my boat?

Thanks,

Diego

Yes, with the navionics you have to buy a certain region. But once you get it, it covers a pretty big area and the detail and information is 100% worth it. Every marker, inlet, rock that comes our on your head unit comes out here, on your iPad. You can mark waypoints, track your current route with s...

Diego

I just recently ventured into an iPad, and before i scare to many people away with that fist comment (like i was), i bought the Navionics program in the APP store for around $45. This mapping system which is the same that my Raymarine C120 operates is 100% identical on the iPad than that on the boat...

Diego

My boat lives in a hangar next to the water, so she is put in by ramp every time we go out. No problems, we use a tractor though. I sometimes get a little close with the props, buts that because of the poor condition of the road and pavement. Other than than no problems at all.

Diego

On the way!

Diego

What a gorgeous boat. The detail in the work is outstanding. Love the aluminum work on the bridge! Congratulations Capt.

Thanks Matt, the camera is really great and the underwater resolution is fantastic. If you are looking for more of a professional pack, take a look at Latham Cams (Mike Latham) makes a hell of a product, outrigger cameras that record to a hard drive. Im looking into it for the riggers.

Diego

Hey John,

Thanks for the advice, that helps a lot. I think i will go with that option.

Diego

Diego

Thanks for the help everyone!

Diego

Hey Tony, there are some areas that are starting to chip. Also there are some small areas i would like to touch up from small logs and stuff. I also was thinking about changing the color. Not sure what choice of paint/antifouling to go with for the job.

Diego

Thanks Marlin, yea my boat is in the water for no more than 5 days at a time. But I thinks it's time to re paint. You recommend removing all old paint, sanding down and starting from scratch?

Diego

Thanks Mark, I'm good for 2.

Diego

Hey guys, looking for some info on bottom paint. I keep my boat out of the water in a hangar, and i was wondering what options i have in bottom paint seeing that i really don't have the need for anti fouling. Any suggestions?

Diego

On board my AC unit works great, but time to time I get some fuel odors inside. What's the best way to fix that? Has anyone tried or heard of the Dometic air purifier? I bring my 7 month old on board and don't really feel all that good about those odors? http://www.dometic.com/enus/Americas/USA/Mari...

Diego

I got mine a few months ago and works great. I have the class 4 card in 32 GB and it is amazing how much video time you can get on that thing. Im looking for different places to mount it, for good fishing video. Underwater works great have been diving with it up to 65 feet and works great. Highly re...

Diego

Harv, Im i still in time to get a few shirts? They look great!

Diego

Beuty! great looking tower

Diego

Hey zerocavity, would you say you feel the difference with that chair?

Diego

Thanks guys.

Diego

love it..... maybe i need to re-enter! :|

Diego

Hey Zerocavity, beutiful boat!! can you give me some details on the rear seat on the bridge? also i love the teak you have on the cockpit and bridge, looks amazing. Where did you get that done? what type of captains chair is that you have with the suspension. looks comfy!! Thanks for the help and wh...

Diego

Thanks a lot everyone for the input im going to investigate a little more into the zerogravity, and see if thats an option.

Diego

I currently have a single Captains chair (Ladder style), it takes up a bit of space on the bridge but im trying to see how i can add two forward facing seats on the rear part of the bridge. I currently have two cooler/seats on the sides of the bridge but they are rear facing and passengers that want...

Diego

I recommend "Thumbs up" idea and go with Yachtpath to Golfito and then personally bring it down to panama. Take some 5 days to do it and enjoy some of the best views and fishing you will ever see in this part of the world. The fishing through Coiba, Cebaco, Punta Mala is fantastic!

Diego

Great Job! looks great, and just added some value to the house with that pic! Congrats

Diego

That blue B25 with OB is in Panama, and is quite nice. Its got a real nice layout and runs nice.

Diego

Wow, one nice fish. I've seen 250 pounders but that is a monster and on a sardine. I guess elephants do eat peanuts.

Diego

I bought my boat back in Jan. The boat a B31 FBC came with the D4-300 already installed.(80 hrs) They now have about 380 hrs on them, and they are great! I am extremely happy with them and would recommend them to anyone.

Diego

i got the deck with drop in fishboxes, required moving the exhaust outboard-

How difficult is this job. I have been wanting to install the fishboxes for a while now. Do you know if there is any way to install the fishboxes with the orginal Bertram deck? Thanks

Diego

Check out High Tide Marine. If you ask them on their "contact" section they will answer real quick.

Diego

Nice!! I would keep it as original as possible...

Diego

Hey I'm looking for the "Bertram 31" logo for my boat. Does anyone know where i can find a nice piece? Thanx

Diego

Thanks Tom. Im happy im glad i found this forum. Ill send some pics to share once their installed. cheers

Diego

well they run around $1600 for the pair. Anodized under and powder coat over. Down here in Panama we use them a lot. I have a few friends who have them and there is no better teaser reel in my opinion. Great product and Tom Tessa @ Reel Colors is great to work with.

Diego

Hey Tailhook Im new on this site. Those teaser reels are mine. I just purchased them from Tom (reel colors) and should be getting them in a few days. I have a '63 B31 which was redone in 2008. Im glad you enjoyed the reels. ill post a pic of them installed when i get them. take care
