IRguy, I fly the mighty E-2C Hawkeye. It's the one with a big frisbee shaped radar on top. It's not supersonic but it is fast and fun to fly.

I'm a Navy pilot and we still do tiger cruises since 9/11. We did a great on on my last cruise on Abraham Lincoln. West coast tiger cruises are a lot of fun because they go from Hawaii to San Diego when the ship is on the way home. Also, in the middle of the ocean, there are no restrictions on going...

Its the livewell. West Coast fishing is more about stand up, move around the rails type fishing so a lot of people put the livewell in the middle of the cockpit. It's actually a pretty nice setup but it looks like crap.

The 76 is actually a 73, my memory failed me that day. I inspected this boat in person and it looks great. http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/displayPhoto.jsp?currency=USD&units=Feet¤cyid=100&boat_id=1574752&boatname=31%27+Bertram+Flybridge+Cruiser&photo_revised_date=1154635350000&photo_na...

Gents, I just got back from a dove hunting trip in Yuma (110 in the shade). Thanks for all the good advice. The already refurbished up boat sounds like the way to go to me.

John, Thanks very much for the advice. I used to think I wanted a project but the more I think about it, the more I want something like the Fighting Angel, that has already been restored. The local yard is 4 miles from my house and they'd charge $450/mo just to keep her up on blocks. And of course e...

Vicroy, I'm hoping he will accept a lowball offer and I get it for way less than that. Thanks for the input.

Gents, thanks for all the good info. The one I'm looking at is here http://www.marineemporium.com/html/31BERTRAM.html I don't know how to link properly, sorry. Anyway, I talked to the broker and this boat had an offer on it that just fell through and he said the owner really wants to move it. Any op...

Gents, I am new to this forum but looking to buy a B31. I live on the west coast so pickings are pretty slim but I have a few to choose from. There is a 62 FBC and a 76 FBC for sale. Is there any big difference in the hulls as far as thickness, more wood to replace, etc that I should know about? I'm...
