This Bertram is funny in the sense that it attracts enthusiast wherever she goes. As I mentioned, I was in Ocean Reef last weekend using the boat and on two occasions that I know of a boat and passengers went out of their way to look at this boat. The first gentleman was interesting. We were at the ...

How can I post an image?

That is a good question. The boat sits much higher in the water than a conventionally powered 31. Image your 31 without motors and running gear floating in the water. That is essentially how this boat floats because the custom bracket floats all the weight on the motors. I'm not sure how to post pic...

I was told by one B31 owner and professional marine mechanic that some of the 31 s had a drain plug in the cabin area under a hatch in the floor. So we are talking about a plug that is serviceable from inside the boat that will drain the center bilge area when out of the water. I do not have a trans...

Yes we did drop the deck 16 inches and it makes a huge difference in the cockpit. Also the drop down to the helm area is not as severe.

I will say that I've already turned down offers north of 250k for this boat. There is a market. The only way I can do diesels and tow this boat is to u...

One more thing. The live wells in the picture are not even for the31 They are for the mothership

I just stumbled on the site looking up some 31 related topics and came across these posts. I'm the owner of the Miss Teak which is a 1972 Bertram 31 with are you ready for it.....OUTBOARDS. It's like cursing in church with many die hard 31 guys and I'm very aware of that. I want to give both you guy...
