Yannis, I have been looking at the numbers. Agreed, this boat with transport, certificates and electric conversion etc will be out of my budget. And then I get to worry about the Mitsubishis... Nice boat but too much. Hopefully someone knows of one for sale, and one comes much much closer.

Thanks Micky, I saw that, and have been speaking with the owner. I love the boat, but hesitant about: 1) Location...Mallorca, Spain 2) Electrical...12v boat, also 220.. 3) Power...Mitsubishi diesel...not familiar...not sure i want to be, either. Anyone have any info on mitsubishi marine diesels (bro...

Guys, one of my hardest days...This morning I completed the sale of My B31 FBC, SuperNova. I would like to say thank you to all the wonderful people on this forum, who have offered advice and guided me on the journey with Super Nova. You have all been so helpful and supportive; a truly wonderful gro...

Thanks for the replies guys.
Raleigh, i have not run the boat with air filters removed.
Frank, I cannot make 2700 rpm on either engine. now that I think about it, max rpm is 2650 on starboard, 2550 on port.

This video is throttling up past 1800 (when turbos spool up) to 2400 rpm.

Here are the videos. The first is running at 2100 rpm.

Guys, Looking to hear thoughts on a couple nagging issues i've had with My 31 since purchasing 12 years ago. Engines are Cummins 6BT 5.9, 210 hp, 1998 with less than 1000 hrs.Boat runs very nice, cruises 22knts at 2200rpm, and can make full recommended rpms at WOT (2600rpm and 28knts)..HOWEVER, a fe...

Pm sent on the bulkhead Glass for myself and I believe Mike Ohlstein is interested in the port side, aft most window.

Please no. Seriously though, not sure what shaft length you would get. Bow rail needs to be cut. Thrust? I run a minnkota riptide Ipilot on my fishing skiff, a Maritime skiff 1690. It is glorious.Ive seen a few on some Grady's, maybe 25 ft. Never saw one on a Bertram. Honestly, shaft length would be...

We were most definitely not into 40-50 lb bass this day....we were however into thousands of 24-28 inch bass....acres and acres of it.. No pics, but heres a video my buddy made, I'm the fly guy in the red hat. At the very end, you'll see a glimpse...a silhouette... of Wits End. https://www.youtube.c...

Out in Montauk this past Fri fishing the fall run, saw this FBC in the middle of it. 4 guys on board having a blast...heard them a mile away every time they hooked up. Boat looked good, and was real QUICK... Anyone on here own?

Congratulations. I have a 1971 FBC with twin 1998 cummins 6bts 210/220 hp. I cruise 20 -22 knots all day at 2000-2100rpm, WOT 28knts at 2600rpm (she is a very light boat, no tower or additional weight throughout). Great combo, and good luck.
Ron

A little late to the game, but here are some numbers on a 1970 FBC with cummins 210's.
2000 rpm-20kts
2200 rpm-22kts
2400 rpm-24kts
2600 rpm (wot) - 26.5-27 kts

Hi Carl, I haven't posted much on the forum, I guess I really don't have much to offer. Many of the members here are so knowledgeable about their boats, engines, etc...me not so much...but I'm learning every day. I have a 1970 31 FBC, powered by twin 1996 Cummins 210 6Bt's. Gear are twin disc MG 501...

Thanks Mike,
I will give them a call.
Ron

Hi, Fellas, I lost my diesel mechanic 3 years ago, and have been neglecting the upkeep on my 210 hp Cummins 6BT's on my 31. I am located in Port Washington, New York. I know the engines are bulletproof and relatively simple; I'll be honest, I don't have the time or know how of a thorough going over....

Hi, I've seen the boat three times in my Marina and at the dock. Boat looks better in the pics. I agree, the price is too high.

Agreed on bonito and allbes this time of year. Over here in Western Sound (port Washington)I've had them each year the last 5 years, mid Sept through end Oct, depending on bait source (which this year is BOOMING..rain bait, peanuts, spearing, etc). On fly, use tan or charteuse surf candy, on spin us...

Bob, If its not too late, please put me down for a sanded one.
Ron

Guys, Boat is wrapped so no new pics. Have a few from the summer I will post. Harry, sillverchevy I took up a while ago. Before wife and kids many moons ago, I liked cars. When I was driving trucks from JFK to Mass in 1994, I happened upon a 1967 Camaro convertible. Original owner, little old lady, ...

Thanks for the welcome guys. Mike, not familiar with Bat Factor, but know the police boat. This boat resided over at Manhasset Bay Yacht Club. I know Harbor Patrol/Bay constable have a B31, been sitting for a bit…..they say needs a new tank and deck, no funding though.

Hi, I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to the Faithful. My name is Ron Restivo, and I am the new, proud owner of a 1970 Bertram FBC. Thank you very much Pete Fallon for contacting me and helping with any and all questions I had during the purchase (Hope the knee is feeling better as ...
