Capt Pat, TWO WEEKS @10 hr days....no quit in your game...every one admires the quality...not many want to pay the price...great work.BH

Bob H.

I like Walter, have no idea how I found this little sandbox, google search I guess...I knew when I saw my first Bertram Bahia Mar that I wanted one...I sat on the sidelines for quite some time watching, JP, Bob Lico, Mikey, and mostly Capt Pat turn out some drop dead gorgeous boats...then I found mi...

Bob H.

Brew, Thats what Bertram Brothers are for...you have decades of fishing and Bertram experience many can only dream of...every time Ive asked for your help you were right there...the best part of this site is how guys lend a hand and help each other when in need...no matter what..Capt Pat set the exa...

Bob H.

Bob H.

Three head shots at 1000 yards....That is awesome...and props to the guys who treated him like the HERO he is...Does make you feel good to know some good ones still out there..BH

Bob H.

That is great news...the Rybovich family should be proud...they wrote the book when it came to innovation and quality...I will be there...every time I see a Rybovich in person I am in awe at the simple beauty of each boat..nothing out of place...America needs a family and company like that to show t...

Bob H.

Bob, Thats quite the project your taking on I know the feeling...my 66 hull was alot thicker...I had some blister/gelcoat isuues as well. I media blasted the entire hull inside and out with corn to start with a nice clean base to work on. The media blasting exposed all the blisters, left the heat on...

Bob H.

JP, What type of gauges did you use? That helm looks slick...planning a project takes alot of bucket time...you sit your ass on the bucket and think, look, plan, mock it up...then and only then build it. The do overs Ive had are because I didnt listen to the many guys here who already built and figu...

Bob H.

Andy, All epoxy for me...Matt, the exhaust elbow came from Tony Athens at Sea Board Marine...Top shelf stuff Tonys great to deal with. BH

Harry, Lookin good...and youve had em running to boot..you know its been a long winter when the boys are lookin at your bottom pics... Love the rudder support bearings...Denada is going to be quite a sleeper..pull up along side a new Grady and walk away from them, leave em scratching their heads, wh...

Bob H.

Andy, The woven cloth is very substantial cloth but at 90 degree angle only. The 1708 is at 45 degree angle and offers a better angular strength. The woven also is not good at making tight bends. the 1708 over a good inside fillet is the way to go for bonding. The mat i n the 1708 is for bonding to ...

Bob H.

Harry, Having fun with that bottom sanding? I know better...keep at it my friend...you can do it....spring time makes us all feel better...BH

Bob H.

Andy, No pro here but, Id soak the fir with unthickened epoxy, mix up some cabosil with some high density filler to a mayonaise consistency, slather that on the fir, put that on the hull then coat the other side of the ledger fir, lay on a layer 0f 1708 biaxle with mat side towards fir, then a layer...

Bob H.

JP, Thanks for the feedback, I ran both the trolling valve and transmission switch wire prior to getting the harness, pinks will be spare for me, the wires do have numbers on them but my shop manual has no info on them. The panels have matching main plugs with no secondary plugs. A little smoke wont...

Bob H.

Had a question for the cummins guys, picked up my harness this week and noticed a slight difference on a secondary plug. The shop manual shows this secondary plug as a preheat switch. Do I need this preheater with block heaters? Is that what this secondary plug is for? Thanks in advance.BH http://i2...

Bob H.

Harry, You folks down south do seem to be way ahead of your time....and you make the best use of the time you have...dont change a thing..BH

Bob H.

Walter, I agree with you, makos are NUTS....even the small ones have a bad attitude..like you said most flash through the slick...I hooked a 300+ pounder off block island cleared the t top on my silverhawk...we all looked up in awe...also had another big girl eat a whole live bluefish..water explode...

Bob H.

Walter, Sounds like NOAA is trying to smother Licensed Captains to death, even if you report as needed, that pile of s**t Lubchenco will use those reports to make every fish off limits..or buy a share to catch striper or tuna..where will that money go???Time to just fish..catch what you need..eat it...

Bob H.

Dug, The block heater will also keep you from snapping the pump shaft..ask me how I know..had a brand new John Deere loader no block heater from factory...had a big storm on a -2 day...hit the starter...nothin..primed it pulled of fuel lines..still nothin..called deere..sent tech....just enough wate...
