Superstition maybe, not quite the word but something about linking the two concepts. You can't change it back.

A guy who has owned more boats than anyone I know had an open bridge 80ft sportsyacht and when his captain complained (again) about getting wet he sent him to buy himself the foxiest set of wet weather gear he could find, abt $2k, goretex...super lightweight...comfortable and he was king of the kids...

Frankly, I don't like ally anything....fibreglass lasts for 100yrs plus so why bother with tin, except for beer? Especially in salt water.

Aussie Dollar US96.5c today, 25yr high, plus freight...I'd be talking to Danny too, he helped us a lot. One order arrived here within 72hrs!!!

Great job Joe, I still say keep going and build the whole boat!

My vote with FL Yellow is for pale green a/foul and dark green boot top.

For the rubrail I vote just the stainless, no PVC. Then you are going to have to deal with the corner pieces......expert advice needed there.

Hi Pete,

Congratulations on getting your 31, the guys here all seem to like Soundown...no doubt they will chime in or you can have a look at:

Soundproofing is certainly one area where investment makes a lot of sense.

Filled her up yesterday....US$6.75 per US gallon...and that's from the fuel barge, ie a discount! Interesting times.

Well, there is only one thing to be done about this.....write the definitive article about the Bertram 31 and release it to all these publications so they can re-publish it for the next few decades...any takers? What happened to that guy who posted he was writing an article and wanted owners' storie...

I love reading that story. When he talks about construction one thing he fails to mention is that the fibreglass is hand laid, the beginning and end of quality construction. Now, a question that has been bugging me for years: Hunt reasoned that by incorporating lifting strakes along the bottom, he c...

and I don't know how much fuel we use except more than the re-seller said we would. Why do those guys all lie?

We got the 315hp 6lpta Yanmars in 2006 and we are very happy with them....(max 32.7kn with 20x23 4-blades which is plenty+) they were old stock then but new out of the U.S. and available because they didn't pass the US EPA regs apparently...I have heard nothing but bad things about the new Yanmar/BM...

Thanks Capt. Pat....you would think any professional ferry master would not head straight into the morning sun...but he did.

I'd be interested to know from those that have seen it work/used 'em...can Capt. Homer Simpson turn it on and watch it and see unlit boats in his path, or another fatality, can you see a dinghy when you are heading into the morning sun?

There has been a spate of fatal accidents down here where commercial boats have run over private vessels inside the harbor.

John, Got a bit side-tracked here...you bought a diesel Express to get the engines to put in your Flybridge... one of the major costs of the repower we did, gas to diesels, was changing the running gear, exhausts, fuel systems etc...sort of a lot of "hidden" costs. I've got a spread-sheet somewhere ...

We've got a pulpit, the CQR anchor stows on it and you don't need to leave the flybridge to lower or raise it, if you're interested I'll send a pic but I think there are plenty around, all chain.
