Re: Shakedown run, wheel question and searching for Bertram Flybridge Side Steps

Tony, They are definitely the upgraded larger rudders ( my last 31 had the originals). This boat was very well maintained, I am the third owner. Extensive upkeep and upgrades were done by previous owner, including the Cummins 270's, tower and hardtop, upgraded rubrail, rupp outriggers, 6 inch exhaus...

Re: Shakedown run, wheel question and searching for Bertram Flybridge Side Steps

Thanks for the reply guys. Tony, my last 31 was a FBC, and had the standard dinette on port, stand up head, counter and sink starboard. I found it nice, but not really needed for my needs.

Re: B31 search update...

Thank you all for the welcome and kind words. My previous 31 had the 6Bts 210, and I liked them very much. I was hoping to find the 6BTA's at 270, because of the simplicity and the added HP. Tony, I am bringing the boat to John tomorrow, Friday. Am a little nervous; I am unfamiliar with the water fr...

Fellas, It worked out after all, and I will be closing on the B31 Joanies Three (surveyed in August) this Friday. Beyond excited. After the closing, John Lane and Forked River Diesel will be performing the 1000 hr service (the Cummins 6BTA 270's are about 875 right now), and then she will brought to...
