High Tides rub rail is not the stock 31 rail, It's for the 35 I believe. Call this guy he has the 31 rail that if i recall my conversation correctly is the capt pat version. It comes with the bow already bent. I bought his and had it shipped to MA. Worth every penny West Coast ABT Inc. 720 College D...

Tony I'm currently painting the flybridge and I removed my grab rails. I have a hardtop and outriggers so i have plenty to grab onto. In fact I've almost fell off a few times by mis grabbing.

2nd the Soft sand, mine came out amazing

Bottom is done five coats of barrier three coats of bottom paint. Started on the rub rail almost done. This was not the easiest job for sure. I bought it from Danny at high tide and had the corners and bow pre bent. The bow fit ok but corners were unusable i had to cut and miter them thankfully i h...

I did that exact thing, my interior had termites so it was fully gutted. I removed the Head all together. I just have a small portahead.

Any idea of the length Bob?

She's done!!! Cant be happier with the results. 193 labor hours is what it took, if its in direct sunlight it look white, in the shadow is blue and sun behind it she's green. All new rub rail and black widow bottom job. I did a 2" cream boot stripe with a 1/2" hunter green accent https://imagizer.im...

Jack, Carl at Elite Marine in ST Pete has a mold. That's where I got mine from

ok, so 130 man hour later we are now in primer. We prepped and repaired all the crazing from where the hull and top decks are connected. We're gonna spray the toe rail so when he puts the rub rail on we have to mess with that area again. They ended up stripping the whole paint job off with razor bla...

i think two weeks and she'll be done, then im doing the Cream color by roller and few other small projects like 1kw ducer, new throttle controls and new Aquatraction

saburke17

Reviving this thread, Bob how has the performance been? I have the 1kw Raymarine Ducer L/M that I got along with a Black box for my Axiom screens. One thing the Raymarine tech mentioned was that layer of bubbles between the hull bottom and the top of the water while under way. Do you see any of that...

The color currently on the boat is Aquamist, going with same. I originally thought it was seafoam but when you put the color chart up it's not even close. The teak on the helm was screwed down with fine drywall screws. Every single one snapped when I was removing it. The Transom had screws, nuts and...

Now i know rubbing is racing, but not on my new paint job. My dock cleat is behind the bow of the boat so the lines angle slightly backwards. How can i prevent the paint from wearing through again. This only took 2 years to rub through. I was thinking of moving up to 6 inch chocks and trying to get ...

So she's finally in for facelift, The paint job was over 20 years old and the clear was peeling of in a few area's. I removed the Teak on the transom as the bottom board was rotting and it was on its last legs. Stripping that teak was not a fun project, but i found out that a multi tool with and adh...

Whats everyone running for batteries these days?

Hey everyone, Im looking to reach a gentleman who has a 31 in Marblehead Ma. He was selling a livewell that one of his friends posted for sale here. I spoke to him a few times but forget his name and i can't find his number on my phone. Any help would be appreciated

Hey Max, Unfortunately i ordered it. The shop doing the painting wanted the prebent stuff as his shop is backed way up with work and didn't want to mess with bending. otherwise i would have gone with the stuff here in MAss

Do we all use the same length cables from the flybridge to engines? And what those lengths are? Just ordered a new set of controls and figured i'd change the cables at the same time. Any cable brand suggestions?

saburke17

Bob did you take Farrah Fawcett for ride??

saburke17

shit, meant outboard. they are like 4 or so inches wide and the flat edge of the engine hatch sits on them. not the panels on either side of the step down. Those panels on mine are just lift outs

saburke17

have you installed this?

saburke17

Anyone know of any 31's that were in Fire Island? I just removed my Teak transom and the name is still there. I cant really make it out yet but the port says Fire Island. Hull was white

saburke17

The side panels inboard of the engine hatches, Does anyone know how these are attached so i can take them out?

Anyone on the east coast looking for Rub Rail from 31 Bertram in California? He has 4 sets ready to ship and we could all split the shipping. My shipping quote here to Mass is about 850.00.

so i put the props on and its kind of hard to get a perfect measurement but it appears they are pointed slightly outwards about a half an inch or so. So the inside edge of the prop is about a 1/2 inch closer to the rudder than the outer edge

saburke17

LOL the Dr with the enormous middle finger? lol

So the front of my engines ie... alternator side are toe'd in so the props are slightly angled outwards. I'm going to put the props on and then clamp a straight edge to the rudders to see what im looking at.

saburke17

what do you think would happen if your engines were slightly toed inwards instead of firing straight back. I know on outboards they toe them inwards to concentrate thrust. Thoughts?

so just 4200 the crap out of it? is there a trick to not getting it on the screws or does that help with making water tight?

saburke17

Hey Guys, when reinstalling your struts. what is used to "bed" the strut when it makes contact with the hull? I've read some people use a premixed bedding compound from interlux, others say don't touch that stuff. The yahoo who installed them last said he used 5200, but it peeled right off. Always t...

Hey Guys, so this winter along with Removing the engines i'm also leveling the stringers and repainting the cockpit. Decks were painted about 3 years ago but didn't last.

Jack The supports are mahogany. When I redid my deck back in 96, we used mahogany again. Before installing we gave it a quick coat of glass to seal it. I had the deck out 2 years ago when I had the non skid redone. The wood was as good as the day we put it in. Now if you want to make sure you do no...

Doug ill be working on my decks this winter. one of my main issues is i had teak decks before, when i got the boat they were all rotted so we took them out. during the stringer replacement the heights are all over the place.

you dont want starboard, besides being ugly it warps, doesnt hold adhesives, resin, paint, doesnt hold screws well either Komacel is availible in 10' sheets, you can get the 2 side panels from one sheet another for across the transom.

Saburke why did you replace engine? Bob, the asshat who "rebuilt" the engine did something wrong. a bearing spun, then the piston had extra slop so it tattoo'd the head with its part number. crankshaft got messed up pretty bad. engine had like 10 hours on it at that point.
