I know there will be at least 4, and maybe 5 33's (3 fbc's, 2 sf's).

dougl33

I heard the 38 is a POS!

dougl33

Congrats on the purchase Timmy!

dougl33

My first boat was an 81 28 with 228hp Mercs. The stringers had been replaced by the previous owner, so I'd be shocked if they weren't a problem on the 77 you're looking at. I don't fish so my boat was lightly loaded, but I could cruise mine around 21-22 knots at 3200rpms. I could be wrong (I sold th...

Bob,

Not to high jack the thread, but I'm interested in one of those oil filter relocation kits. That is the one job I hate more than anything on my 33. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I have 300hp 6BTA's (cpl 0970).

Thanks!

dougl33

I'll be there!

dougl33

Sorry I've been away for a while, but I'll be there! Arriving Friday and leaving Monday.

dougl33

Harry,

Mark sent me some pics last night.

They're not exactly what I'm looking for so I'm sure Ray will get back to you.

dougl33

Thanks Ray.

I'll give you a call. Maybe we can work something out this weekend.

dougl33

I used oven cleaner when I first bought my boat back in 2002. Couldn't have been easier.

dougl33

Thanks Pete.

That's what I had in mind. I didn't know if someone had an original pair hanging around that they wanted to sell.

I'll check pompanette's website to see what they have.

dougl33

I've thought about the cooler route and I may still go that way.

dougl33

Thanks Mark and Yannis.

Thanks for selling her to me Mike. We'll keep her in great condition.

I'm meeting the canvas guy tomorrow for a mooring cover.

Was also planning on going to the Providence boat show tomorrow for some seating ideas, but it looks like its going to be shitty out.

dougl33

Thanks.

No fishing. Just using it as a run-about. I know there were seats as an option as another boat I looked at last summer had them.

dougl33

So last fall I finally purchased a 1968 20 Bahia Mar. The boats in great shape: http://www.bertram33.com/images/uploads/IMG_2598rev.jpg http://www.bertram33.com/images/uploads/IMG_1386rev.jpg http://www.bertram33.com/images/uploads/IMG_0941rev.jpg http://www.bertram33.com/images/uploads/IMG_3863.jpg...

Looks like he got lazy and took pictures out of an old survey.

dougl33

Capy,

I just you a PM.

dougl33

Not sure if this boat belongs to some one here, but my advice would be: 1. Take the crap out of the v-berth. You're advertising that there's no storage on the boat. 2. Remove the cushion from the helm seat as you're also advertising that the boat is uncomfortable to run as is. 3. Reduce the price by...

dougl33

Thanks Dug.

It was me, but I found one back in June.

Stop it, yer killin' me!

dougl33

Pete,

If you can swing it, there'll be 8 33's at P-town starting Friday July 25-27. You can take the ferry over from Boston.

dougl33

Try Tony Athens at Seaboard Marine in Calif. (AKA boatdiesel.com)

Good luck!

dougl33

I just pulled the trigger on one in NJ that includes delivery.

Thanks for the help everyone.

dougl33

Thanks Mike.

I'll let you know.

dougl33

I saw that. It looks like its in great shape. I placed an ad on Uship, so we'll see what happens.

dougl33

Thanks. That would be me. I'm in Mass, so I'm not sure how I'd get it up here. Also, I'd like to get one with a trailer an OB.

dougl33

Should be up and running.

dougl33

Frank,

I've sent Daivd a message. Only the home page has been hacked. If you have the forum page book marked, you can get in with no issues.

dougl33

Great job.

Love the accompanying song!

dougl33

I don't fish and never will. I've been asking this question to the Grady White guys for years at the boat shows. How are you supposed to seriously fish over 6 feet of OB's? Grady now has a 37 foot with 3 OB's that sells for $685K. I don't get it.

dougl33

My bet is its electrical. 13 years ago, I changed the points ignition to brank new Merc Thunderbolt iginitions on my B28. Both engines ran great for a half hour, then the stbd one would sputter and fart and not hold rpms before dieing. After a half hour, it would start back up and run fine for anoth...

dougl33

Thanks guys. Unfortunately, I'm limited to a max length of 9 feet. I'm looking for a tender that I can easily slap some bottom paint on and leave it all summer. I'm not looking for another inflatable, but I do want something I can put an 8 or 10 hp OB on.

dougl33

Looking for a 9 foot whaler (tender) in the Mass area. Anyone know someone that's looking to sell one?

dougl33

The prob is that if you don't go with the 8-92's, I think you're stuck with the MANS, which I would not own. Maybe 12-71's were available too, but I'm not sure.

dougl33

I knew it, the boat in Fig 8 was in the James Bond movie "From Russia with Love". I always thought that was a Hunt hull.

dougl33

The best thing with the arbor rite is you can get in a ton of colors. Maybe the 33's are different, but this was the most applicable replacement for what was originally on the boat.

dougl33

Glad to hear you were able to sell the 20. I'm just sorry I was not in a position to buy it myself. To answer your question, I did not cry when I sold my 28 back in 2002 as I knew I was moving up to a 33 which I still have.

dougl33

Seems a little steep. I paid $22K for a pair of RTO 300 B-series (2000 hours) with brand new ZF's back in 2006/2007. I think $15K-$17K would be better.

dougl33

I used this stuff to replace my cockpit side panels a few years ago:

dougl33

Nice looking boat, but my back is getting sore just looking at the helm seat.

dougl33

Dug,

What kind of dough are we talking about?

dougl33

This boat would still be for sale of it was listed for $100K. I love it when people make these super custom, one off, major dollars, science projects and then try to sell them. Sure, everyone wants to spend a half million and have to crap/piss in between the v-berths.

Good luck with that.

dougl33

Were they dirty? I wash mine every year.

dougl33

Which is where I got the idea from!

dougl33

Same old same old at PCYC.

I'm heading down there tonight. If I see Wayne I'll tell him you said hello.

dougl33

Pete,

I thought for sure you were going to say Dana Ducette. I've never heard of Dana Sponagale. Also, any intel on how Brewers is making out at Hawthorne Cove? I have some down the road projects I was considering them for.

dougl33

Good luck Walter. Hope you start feeling better soon!

dougl33

That boat has been for sale for ever.

dougl33

Ya can't fix stupid.
