Just an aside, As much as I love CX, there are some things that I use other oils for. I have a Ford Van, and the rear and side doors have exposed hinges which have a tendency to rust internally.

Works great, but best to mix in a small batch. Shake well and use.

Re: my 1961 Bertram 31 history

Looks great.

If you're going with gas power, you'll need to replace the fuel tank. The old tank will be fine for diesel, though you might want to clean it out a bit.

Oversized rudders are one of the best modifications that you can make.

And get rid of those trim tabs. The 31 doesn't need them.

By the way, if you don't think that you need to transmit your position, you can save a lot of money by just buying a receiver. The receiver isn't a GPS and has no transmitter. It just receives other ships info and will display it on your plotter.

Re: Yanmar 230 hp Trouble

Yes. The four blade presents much more drag, and is harder to spin. It's a smoother ride, but slower. It also throws a different wake than the three blade. I personally prefer the three blade for fishing because I like its wake and wash. While I can spin a 21X23 three blade, I can only spin a 20X20 ...
