Walter, the starboard prop needs to be replaced as do the cutlass bearings. There are vibrations in both port and starboard at lower RPMs, during the survey the thought was that the shafts may be bent slightly. Pulling the the shafts opens the can of worms.

PeterPalmieri

Just revisiting this thread and reading through all the thoughtful comments. I'm now taking notes so I can have a plan. I am planning on getting the boat over to the marina to come out of the water beginning of march. At this point I am torn as to how far to take this project. Part of me says new sh...

Makes me feel better!

Bob,

I am not in a position to help him find a job but i would be more then happy to help out with the cost of a plane ticket if one of our southern brothers would put him up for a few days and take him fishing. If a few of us can contribute $50 we can get him round trip flight.

Anyone know the burn numbers when the afterburners kick in? I figure it will make me feel better about my 454s

PeterPalmieri

Bob how much further back are the rudders from the stock position?

PeterPalmieri

Bob was nice enough to give me a tour of Phoenix and scratched the surface of the modifications he's done. Many many small modifications when all combined add up to more then the sum of the parts. His fuel burn numbers are significantly better then another b31 with the same engines. When i first wal...

PeterPalmieri

Bob,

Your sister and family are making big sacrifices so that my family can do fun stuff without worries.

Please be sure to let them know just how grateful many of us are for their service.

That's the 32CC not the 32EX

PeterPalmieri

The everglades spec sheet shows

3500 rpms 24 mph 22.7 gph 1.06 mpg

5000 rpms 41.5mph 41.7 mpg 1 mpg

PeterPalmieri

That is something i never considered. They are protected under the marine mammal protection act.

PeterPalmieri

I also frequent snake hill. Although with my flats boat i can run over any of those bars at any tide as long as you cant see exposed sand. Generally speaking any deep vee boat is going to have trouble with that area at low tide. There is a reason the boat US guy drops anchor back there on the weeken...

PeterPalmieri

The numbers do not seem to make sense. If the 454s are getting 2 per engine or 1 total. Then the yanmar 315s should be showing better numbers. Must be an error somewhere

PeterPalmieri

Have you seen the video of all the sea rays that rafted up in Fire Island Inlet and then got sucked out with the tide? Scary stuff.

PeterPalmieri

So both raybo marine and jim ray fiberglass are located in lindenhurst.

PeterPalmieri

Back at my original question. Palm Beach Lady / Match Maker is the only boat ive seen with the front glass enclosed but instead of the side windows angled back these are angled forward providing some additional light. I dont think it takes away from the lines of the boat. Who did the work on that bo...

PeterPalmieri

At least with the fireboy shutdown i read about they also had an engine restart override switch. Not sure if that is all models or standard across other brands.

PeterPalmieri

Vic- the beauty of the 31 is 2,Two, engine compartments.if one autoshuts down the other should keep going long enough to avoid that tanker,and if both go-bail- not your day I could be totally off base but in reading most systems shut down both engines regardless of which extinguisher goes off. At l...

PeterPalmieri

From what ive read away from this site and i am by no means an expert on this topic. With out the engines shutting down the fire supresent is quickly sucked out the exhaust and will not put out any fire. Which leads me to think that without the engine shutdown the extinguishers may be useless. I am ...

PeterPalmieri

Thanks Capt Patrick

PeterPalmieri

Off the top of your head does anyone know the approximate distance between the two vertical rails between the two rod holders?

PeterPalmieri

Pete, You can always do what I do since my boat isn't ready..... drive out by car and enjoy the festivities. I will be hopeful that the boat is in good enough condition to make the trip. If not i will certainly drive. That is if it is on Long island, i dont think i can commit to anything further at...

PeterPalmieri

Being that i have trim tabs a swim platform really isnt going to get in the way. Its not hi on my list but probably inevitable with small kids.

That leads to another question a lot of boats dont have trim tabs whats the general opinion?

PeterPalmieri

Walter. Have you been to the fly fishing show in somerset?

In the beginning of february there is a 3 day fly fishing show at the garden state convention center in somerset NJ. Some pretty cool stuff that you dont see around. Unbelievable fly tiers and some great seminars.

Pete

Rod holders.

http://stores.theifly.com/StoreFront.bok

PeterPalmieri

The pedestal seems like a bad idea as it would protrude into the cockpit to much. Up on the bridge they need to be angled back so they are far enough away from the after part of the tower top.

PeterPalmieri

I have found that these are the best vertical fly rod holders. If I could figure out how to mount two sets of four to the bridge or a pedestal launcher I'd be set. They don't safely mount to a horizontal railing so I may need to have a plate fabricated. http://stores.theifly.com/catalog/quadbig2.jpg...

PeterPalmieri

Peter- are you looking to have these stripped for running or would you have the leader and tippet spooled? I will most likely bunge in my two fly line tamers To the stern cleates which allows me to run with two rods ready to cast. What i need to figure out is if i should come up with a rocket launc...

PeterPalmieri

John 6" may be to high i will have to give it some thought. Randall & Walter, since you guys seem to have some serious offshore fishing experiences and some real time on a B31. Can you share with me your thoughts on the best way to rig up the boat to carry rigged fly rods? With my flats boat i usual...

PeterPalmieri

Sounds like a good time to me. Thanks.

PeterPalmieri

Being new to the site. Can you all fill me in on the details. Do these typically take place during the week or on the weekend. How many days is it? Someone gets a price for the marina, are there arrangements made for any meals or is it all on your own? Not sure my boat will be ready for a trip to Gr...

PeterPalmieri

Ed A min get together in the winter sounds like a great idea. We can hang on my boat for a while and then head into town for lunch. It would be centrally located for the guys out west and east. I can do it the week between xmas and new years or we can wait until after the holidays. Great to meet you.i

PeterPalmieri

When we ge. A warm day after new years i will probably pull it off the boat and bring it home. I am not sue what the underside is mad out of but i will look to replace that if it needs it and have the canvas redone. I think i can just block up the outer edges and under the center stantion. And off s...

PeterPalmieri

I'd like to move my bench seat up about 6" and back 2 or 3". That would be perfect for me just gotta figure out how I am going to do it.

PeterPalmieri

Harv im in babylon, the boat is on shore road and my house is on wyandanch avenue

The guy that did the canvas works for one of the large canvas guys but i got him to do it on the weekend as a side project great work and super reasonable i

PeterPalmieri

Randall if you are using a mac click in the dialog box and then go up to the tool bar. Select edit and then paste

PeterPalmieri

Thats a nice fish. I just copy the image code link from photobucket.

PeterPalmieri

The canvas work is done (IPhone pics) http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/Fishing%20Photos/Bertram%2031/682435ec.jpg http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/Fishing%20Photos/Bertram%2031/7b055ecf.jpg http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/peterpalmieri/Fishing%20P...

PeterPalmieri

Well harv you could have checked out the fighting chair too. It was short lived and the canvas guy showed up. It was nice meet Ed and i am also remembering i should have called Dick since he is just around the corner.

Pete

The canvas looks great i will put up some pictures later.

PeterPalmieri

Will do.

PeterPalmieri

It seems like the base may be tapered as is the fiberglass pole. It moves about 4" and then it gets stuck. Its really odd. I will try a strap wrench though.

PeterPalmieri

I couldnt figure out how to get the outrigger poles out. The base actually can be removed with pins but i was trying to get the fiberglass poles put of the bases. May need to remove them from the bottom of the base rather then loosening them and sliding them out. Anybody know the tricket these old f...

PeterPalmieri

Well there is some bad news about owning a 31 Bertram. The winter slip is along the road. I was down there trying to get a few things done before she is officially done for the season. Three seperate guys stopped, got out of their car and chewed my ear off about what a great boat it is. One of them ...

PeterPalmieri

There is nothing like be hooked up or watching someone else hooked up to a fish with a fly you've tied... Never caught a sail fish

PeterPalmieri

Walter do you have the book Salt Water Flies of The North East by Angelo Peluso? It's a great book and Angelo is a good guy. I will pull a couple of flies together..

Pete

PeterPalmieri

Yes but havent done anything lately with a 16 month old son i barely have time to go and buy flies.

PeterPalmieri

Randall, You guys will appreciate this flats boat. I had it custom made and it is perfect for that kind of fishing. Supper stable, silent in the water, drifts well and its almost maintenence free. The boat is solid below the decks, accept for a pipe that runs from the console to the stern for the ri...

PeterPalmieri

Bob was nice enough to give me the tour of Phoenix today. Unbelievable boat and Bob is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. The amount of thought that went into everything he's done is just amazing.

PeterPalmieri

I am now planning on it. Can you pay by the day at these ramps?
