whaler1777 hi neighbor Im by the riviera catering hall.

I just removed mine. Mine was caulked in with silicone. A razor knife and a flat roofing crow bar did the trick [carefull not to cut to deep or crack the glass when prying lightly].

Scot, I know the 25' [same rounded sides, etc, as the 31] i wish you many great years of boating in & out of the water. .

Capt Mike, thanks for the reply it was great to hear from you.

I know people that went thru this, they felt better long before full recovery. GOOD LUCK

My brother put Yanmars in his early 70's 31 about 15-20 years ago. He was one of or the first. Yanmar used his boat to advertise their engines. It was the muff diver in seaford LI NY. The engines were great, good fit, quiet, not spoke. The only problem I hear is that their not rebuildable to the lev...

hi Scot, this boat is a total rebuild, I always the boat but I 've never been in one. What boat did you decide on? Thanks daydreams [Gary]

Hi capt mike, not just daydreaming was not to be taken personal was it? not long ago I posted and was looking into going diesel [and somewhat still am], but gas engines are cheap and I'm not sure that the 28 SF is the boat that I will keep for many years. With the few hours that I do at this time di...

Mikey I'm glad that your doing ok, its amazing what doctors can do today. Its sad that people are becoming so cold [more worried about being sued or what they can gain inplace of having friends]. I was very active in boy scouts for many year, It got to the point where we so afraid of being accused o...

I always wanted a book to explain diesel engines. But I couldn't find anything interesting. I just read trouble shooting marine diesels by Peter Compton. Its a great book, lots of information in few words. I'm a pretty good driveway / dock mechanic [i've removed / replaced many engines, wiring, etc....

and they say dont put things off and wait till the last minute! Congrats.

Hi scooter, go to yachtworld.com [it was on the 3rd page of the 28' bertram listings] #yw12744-1564627 to view white gauges in a 28 with a black dash. I hope this helps.

if you can handle the dust a 4" grinder with a narrow wheel works great. [wear a resperator].

Thanks for the replys.
This is helping make this major decison. This is a great site. Hopefully i will be able to help someone with information in the near future.

i think the engines i was told about were cummins 190's whats the crusing speed with the 210's?

I will email you steve thanks for the offer.

Hi, I'm new to the site. I am rebuilding an abused 28 bertram. It is a 1984 witch has a larger engine room [in height] and larger shafts [11/4"]. Does anyone know what diesels will fit into this boat. I was told the cummins remans / or the volvos pentas were a good fit. I am rebuilding the bulkheads...
