Looks good I cant wait to get to that point in my project.

Carl I used 2.38” ID x 3”OD inside and 3” ID x 3.5 OD works perfectly after I sanded the inside tube. I am going with 1 3/4” shafts. It may work for you as well. https://www.shaftseal.com/pss-pro-shaft-seal.html

Snipe

Carl I bought mine at https://www.fisheriessupply.com/shoppingcart.aspx click on foot and put in what you want and add it to the cart it is sold by the foot.

Snipe

The PSS now has an upgraded bellows that is silicone and lasts longer than the original. If you go conventional style just run them in like Tony from seaboard does cant go wrong either way it’s personal preference.

Snipe

Carl I have a set of original shaft logs and backing strips. I also have the 5 in bronze angled exhaust outlets if you didn’t get some yet. I am not to far from you.

Snipe

She looks awesome job well done. Love the lines of the tower.

There is a guy in Miami that just did one with out boards I couldn’t get the video to load. It is Strictly Yamaha the boat is southern comfort. He is currently doing another one. Not my cup of tea but they looked pretty good .

Snipe

Best of luck to both of you I am missing this season but it will all be worth it when I get her done. I am going with Cummins as well.

I built pads out of coosa they have a 1/2 in piece of aluminum recessed into them that is threaded. They will be beddd to the hull then glassed over. Should be way stronger than original.

Snipe

No problem I am rebuilding a FBC from the hull up right now. You can learn a lot on this site. Some of these guys have built up some beautiful boats on here. Check out the Building tips section there is lots of goodd stuff in there. Best of luck on your build.

I went fiberglass I bought shaftlog material on https://www.fisheriessupply.com/centek- ... st-housing
They had both tubes fit perfectly together.

Snipe

I have pictures if you pm me your email I will send you some. They are with the deck up and engine boxes out of the way. Let me know.

Snipe

I went in the south pass about six years ago and it was sketchy back then. There were some shallow spots. Maybe some day they will dredge it.

Snipe

Nice sounds like a good project I am trying to figure out what to do about bridge seating. Can’t wait to see the pictures.

Are the 31 and 28 bow chock the same?

Snipe

I have cut it in a chop saw and Also use a cut off wheel on a 4in grinder both work well. I used that to build a door frame in my new bulked. Check it with a straight edge it dose have some deflection to it.

Snipe

Capt pat had a post on this he used 1in and 2in fiberglass box tube creating a 1in lip for the deck. That was my plan I bought it from mcmastercarr.http://www.bertram31.com/newbb/viewtopic.php?t=4504

Snipe

Nice build yourself some Dolly’s so you can roll them around I made some from 2x12 and some casters from Home Depot. Good luck with the repower. One day I will learn how to put pictures up here so I can share my repower.

Snipe

Vince on my cockpit rebuild I have only used coosa I have laminated it together with good results. I am planning on using it in the cabin as well for as much as I can. I bought mine from Donovan marine only bad part if it is not in stock there is a ten sheet minimum. One day I will put a post up on ...

Snipe

Not sure if this link will open but there was a guy in Florida that used these engines last year in a repower. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... 550&type=3

Looks like an out rigger mount.

I have been looking a gemlux stuff it looks nice and the stuff I saw in person looked to be decent quality. http://www.gemlux.com/catalog/plumb?gcl ... gL1yPD_BwE

Snipe

Mack I had a cutting out issue with my crusader 454 and it was the pick up coil under the distributor. When the motor got hot the glue would get soft and the wires would come away and cut out. When it was cold it ran great. Changed it out retimed motor and it ran great.

Snipe

I don’t know about 1in but Barnagat Light Fiberglass Supply carries 1/2 in for sure. I used garolite to make my strut pads you can find it on McMasterCarr usually have it the next day. It’s much stronger than Coosa for that application. https://www.google.com/search?q=barnegat+light+fiberglass+suppl...

Snipe

Lookin good nice job best of luck with her good to see another one all cleaned up. Pretty work!!

Snipe

Snipe

That’s good stuff you will get the bugs worked out as you go along. At least she is back in and running.

Snipe

I am also refitting my 31 and plan on using the original fiberglass tank and I ran ethanol gas in it. My boat is a 77 FBC. I took out pick up tube plate and fuel fill plate and cleaned the tank and inspected looked great for a 41 year old tank. No ethonal damage I could see. My dad had a 1962 and hi...

http://www.floridasportsman.com/2016/05 ... c-bertram/ I saw this one a while back it’s pretty nice. I like my inboard power but if this suits you then its a nice build.

Snipe

John I built mine out of two 3/4in pieces of Coosa as well. My measurements say it will be fine with two inches to spare. I will be glassing it in this week. One day I will figure out how to post pictures on here. I used west system on everything.

Snipe

You might want to check with seaboard marine SBMAR.COM Tony Athens he is very knowledgeable on All Cummins he might be able to help you.

Snipe

Imtra carries zipwake go here and search it if your interested some of these systems have active type ride control when the boat develops a list it corrects it automatically. I ran boats with these on a bigger scale made by Humphree and they were great. I am also thinking about zip wake for my 31. h...

Run inside it’s a good ride no worries about weather and you can stop in Coinjock and get a great prime rib and fuel up.

Snipe

There is a place in palm beach FL Bobby Soles Propeller he makes them.

Snipe

Dug that’s a good question you usually paint your stainless trim tabs with bottom paint it’s probably fine. Some guys use prop speed it works good. Did you get your rudders from Bobby Soles Propeller?

Snipe

I used a combination of sanding,wire wheel,muriatic acid make sure the wire wheel is stainless so you don’t contaminate the metal. Also wear gloves and a respirator. They come out like brand new.
