Anybody have a good cushion guy they can reccommend in South Jersey?

le3

Just though I would share a picture of my last fishing trip of the season. We met up with a friend and he took this picture.

le3

Dug,

Where can I purchase sound down?

Any suggestions on where to have the windows made (with the laminated glass) in South Jersey?

Another Boat US here

le3

Couple of quick questions: Both of my rear windows are cracked. What is the best replacement, tempered glass or plexiglass? Any shortcuts would be appreciated. What is the best way to sound proof and weather proof the seams of my engine boxes? I am looking to stop water leaking on the motors and kee...

I posted here some time ago about redoing my interior and just thought I would show you an update. Instead of making the improvements drastic we just updated the already functional interior. Before: http://www.mybertram.com/Gallery/albums/userpics/10003/bertram-1-7-07-picture-4.jpg After (the interi...

I am actually a little put off that they changed the ignition without asking me. Yes I paid the bill already for the genset.

le3

A week and a half ago I had the boat dropped and ran her back to my slip. On the ride back we left a farely rough inlet and I noticed the fuel guage was below E (I know it was working before because I remember commenting to my buddy about it before we got to the inlet). At first I thought that it wa...

A good portion of the 31 population in South Jersey dry docks at Holtz including myself.

le3

I thought about using those trim tab lights, but I really wanted to see a picture (or in person ) of them installed and in use.

I am leaning towards the aqua lights halogen thru hulls because they are upgradeable and a cleaner install.

le3

Jp

All I have to say is wow, that is a beautiful 31.

le3

What does it typically cost to install (I am in NJ).

le3

Sounds like a good idea to go with the Aqua Light 75 watt halogens and then upgrade later to xenon. Any idea how much the xenon guts cost if I wanted to upgrade in the future?

le3

I want to get some underwater lights. Any suggestions on manufacturers, types (halogen, LED, Xenon, HID) Anybody ever used EFX Lighting, they seem very reasonably priced and they have a surface mounted light. Only problem is the housing is 316 Stainless (instead of bronze) and I am little concerned ...

le3

Thank you
I will give them a call.

le3

Any suggestions of who to use in South Jersey to Philadelphia area.

Any idea how much it would cost me to hire someone to awlgrip my interior?

le3

So it sounds like I should have someone do the painting for me. So is awlgrip a good option for a 31 bertrams interior. The previous owner actually attempted to paint the interior white (terrible job), so I really wanted to cover up the crappy job. I am having new teak holly floor put in and having ...

le3

I was considering painting the interior with white or off white awlgrip paint. Does this look good, anyone have some pictures?

Would you do the paint job yourself or hire someone?

I have not applied awlgrip before, any tricks (roll, spray, brush?)

le3

I just bought the LP1-3.5kw Phasor Genset and wanted to get an idea of how loud these 1 cylinder generators are and any other thoughts on them.

le3

The top of the tank also has the lip or (flange). Just curious why I have a 1972 with a 165 gallon tank. At least I have the saddle tanks which adds 66 gallons (33 each).

le3

So I measured the tank and looks like it is 21.5" in height 33 inches wide and 78" long. If I figured the square footage to be about 32 cubic feet which would lead me to believe that it is the 222 gallon tank(taking into account the fiberglass mass, but it is 7.48 gallons per square foot). The only ...

Thank you Walter for the information. I was not sure if Holtz would change the oil in their winterization process. The person I bought it from is paying for Holtz to haul the boat and block it, winter storage and winterization of the engines and water system. Anybody know of a good place in South Je...

le3

I am new to maintaining diesel engines, not running them. I am having the boat winterized and stored by Holtz Boatworksin a couple of weeks. What do you add to the fuel tanks to treat the fuel for the winter (brand please) and do you top off your tank? I was always under the impression that you alwa...

le3

Thank you for the measurements, I will definitley compare.

I just had her out on Sunday and I loved every minute. I have been fishing on my buddy's 26 Bertram for over 10 years and have been looking for the right 31 for some time.

1999's

Here are the only two pictures I have of the tanks:

Here is just another picture while I had it hauled out for the survey.

Cape May NJ area.

When I had the engines surveyed by Cummins they said WOT was about 2850 for both engines (2854 and 2856).

Also is their any other way to tell the fuel tank size? I actually looked for any identidfication on the tank before and did not see any.

le3

2400 I am a little over 27 knots.

le3

Well it is official I am the proud owner of a 1972 31 Bertram with Cummin 330's. Here is a Picture: http://static.flickr.com/109/273340877_126f29959c_o.jpg My question is the size of the fuel tank. I bought the boat from a broker who took it on trade, they where under the assumption that it was a 22...

le3

I am buying a 1972 31 Bertram with 1999 Cummins 330 6btas (750 hours). I had the boat survey done and everything came back good. I had the engines surveyed by Cummins and they did a "blow by test", at every rpm (every 200 rpm) increment had the reading at 2 or lower which is very good according to t...

I was with a friend of mine running in his 18 foot bayliner in the Delaware getting pounded to death in 1 to 2 seas and he says "sometimes when I look in the bildge I see chunks of foam and fiberglass floating in there". That was the first time I was in a Bayliner and the last.

le3

I just signed a contract on a 31 Bertram with cummin diesels and need a good surveyor in South Jersey to do the survey. Any suggestions?

le3

The boat has already been completely rewired, just the interior is completely original.

le3

What can be done for about 15 to 20 k

le3

I am looking to purchase a 31 Bertram that has updated motors and exterior but has a original interior. How much would it cost to pay a marina to completely refit an interior to maybe look like "Buddy Boy's" custom interior? Also any suggestions of shops in South Jersey who could complete a project ...
