Mark:

I believe the initial research indicated that it manifested in the Old Lyme, Lyme area in CT. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but Plum Island is in eyesight of Old Lyme.

Geez, if significant others ever saw Gert's speed and quality -- we'd all be hearing "Why does it take you so much longer thant Gert? I bet Gert's wife doesn't have to put up with this! Gert's wife gets to use the boat."

Wow, what a pace.

Note, if you happen upon a Physician bearing the same last name as mine, since he's my older brother he should have the same last name, RUN for the border. The last I spoke with him he was moving from CT to VA and is a "specialist" in Lyme disease. Keep in mind although he was a respected, board cer...

I have twin 150 Yamahas on my 24 Pursuit and they run flawlessy and are plenty of power -- but my Pursuit is a Center Console and only 8'6" beam so while I get low cruise of 26kts and high cruise of 34kts and get 2.1 miles per gallon at high cruise -- you aren't going to get that with the B25 -- you...

Where is that driveway? Leave the keys in the ignition, I will bring it back....eventually.

I was there for Iniki -- on Kauai - it wasn't pleasant.

Ian, if you are looking for someone to regularly exercise your beautiful 20 while you are making this beauty perfect, just leave the keys in it and a full load of fuel!

It looks like I won't be able to join in the festivities -- I've been "kidnapped" to run a boat for a canyon overnighter. I hate when that happens -- especially at over $4.25 per gallo of fuel I don't have to pay for.

Have fun,

Tom

I'm bringing 10 cosmetic replacement parts for something in our heads... bought them thinking I was only going to get one set and got a bunch. Wheels I am sure are turning... Look forward to giving these surprise items away to those who can use them to pretty up your heads! Capt. Rex :-) I'm guessi...

My dad did the same maneuvers all the time -- in a P-51 Mustang!

Truly amazing!

I want to be weighed by that scale if that Mako is 215 -- I might finally be under 200!

I believe I paid $1,500 for mine, but that was 12 years ago.

I'm glad/sad that your boat is gone to a new steward.

Best of luck on the surgery -- if anyone deserves a positive outcome - its you.

Dug, Dug, Dug.....I thought you had more brains....when does the redo of Alchemy's interior start? Once a lady sees what it CAN look like, your wallet gets lighter.

What's the deal with your fuel tank? Could you have an ethanol issue?

Unrelated, but sort of to Pete's points about mismatched parts -- remember the small skiff with, if I remember correctly an Evinrude 40 on one side and a Merc 25 on the other? sometimes you just have to work with what you have.

You are a gentleman and skilled helmsman. I'd be changing my underwear after a run in like that.

Mike Ohlstein -- I think you are fired as leader of the mean team based on this.

However, what a kind and considerate comment made by the orignal poster!

Pretty work, congratulations!

A friend of mine is having new electronics installed on his boat(not a Bertram). After the installation, he wants to paint the console and interior of the fly bridge. any suggestion on pain he should use. thanks Russ This is something the master, Gert, should be providing an answer for -- his boats...

it's definitely not a plug and play, when I replaced the side windows I templated them, the strb was 2" longer and 1" less in ht than the port My 1973 B31 must have had the same guy putting in windows as mine were off by exactly the same amount. Mine was a Sportfish. And that was truly accurate adv...

Bruce:

Of course I can -- put 425hp cummins under the hood, prop pockets and new shaft logs, tricked out props and the B31 cruises at 40kts.

I'm just not brave enough, nor wealthy enough to do any of the above!

Just told me that he is considering selling Extra Dry. He has a touch of vertigo and isn't comfortable on the water any more.

Welcome aboard DJ - although I don't own a B31 at the moment, its still in my blood and there will be another down the road. But as everyone else has said, ask anything - someone here has dealt with the issue, and 99.99% on here are really smart and condsiderate -- I'm the .01%

Dug: I bet when Marly is wet, she weighs at least 85lbs -- that is one beautiful and thick coat of fur on her. I have a hard time getting Kona into the boat, which does have a swim platform and a boarding ladder -- because the stubborn mutt doesn't want out of the water.

You can find a really nice 18 Parker in that price range -- I like them a lot.

Done, thanks for posting Sean.

If the Simrad autopilot is half as good as the NSS8 I bought -- it is AWESOME! Now I'm thinking about adding a second NSS8 -- its like having 2 computer monitors at work, only better, because I'm not chasing and killing fish there!

Ian:

You make an excellent point -- the standards only apply to new boats, not rebuilt better than new. I bet that carbon filter is expensive to add into the system too.

I'm glad you and yours are okay Harry. After dealing with Arkansas for the past two weeks, they can keep the tornados -- Hurricanes give some warning and prep time!

I've been in SouthWest Arkansas for work for two weeks and this was not a fun past couple of days -- I'm used to Hurricanes and being able to prepare, no matter how off the weather forecast ...

I'm not sure what is better, your craftsmanship, or your son working with you on the project and learning the proper way -- I vote for the latter

Mark: That would make a lot of sense -- on mine the bonding was screwed (with copper slotted screws every 6") on the outboard side of the stringer to the starboard side of the fuel tank -- once it reached the engine bulkhead it went over the top of that stringer and ran on the the inside of that str...

I don't remember mine having that -- mine was a 1973.

Bruce:

What you said makes more sense that what I thought I heard "You don't want water mixing with your fuel, and if this thing isn't running, it isn't seperating water from the fuel."

Can a centrifuge do that?
