I failed miserably. I was too busy looking for a hide to go after the deer along side the hwy.

Bruce

They're mostly heavy (for their output), dirty, loud, slow, and in need of TLC.

Mike,
You describing motors or the board members, it's hard to tell.

Bruce

By leg I think he means outdrives. So there are no gears. 20K is a bit steep. See if there's a Yanmar dealer on the island and have them look. Biggest thing is find out if the owner kept a maintenence log and records of what has been done. If your serious get serial numbers and have a dealer run the...

Bruce

If done properly, your being paranoid. Given the general condition of boat wiring and gas engine condition, your more apt to get blown up from that.

Bruce

Don't know the boat but have worked with NL and other repo and liquidating firms in the past. Unless your getting a steal, do not believe any descriptions of the boat sight unseen and operating status out of the water. Not a dig against any one in particular but during the 08,09 and 10 years I dealt...

Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company. One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, "Father, my dog is dead. Could ya' be saying' a mass for the poor creature?" Father Patrick replied, "I'm afraid not; we cannot have services for an an...

Happy holidays to all the reprobates, malcontents, and politically incorrect folks who make the world and this place tolerable.

You already know that you will need an interface box to convert the analog data to nema 2000. There are a number of manufacturers of these and do your research and check reviews of actual users. Like most nema 2000 stuff it's pretty easy to setup these days. Gif has a good point. At the very minumum...

Bring back the mechanical board!

On wait. Never mind.

Bruce

My guess would be the boat was under powered when the proper props were put on. Luhrs went thru the same issue and got sued. While I sold and serviced yanmars and generally had good service with them, their people who work with oem are dumber than a box of rocks. If it was the folks out of Georgia, ...

That's back when men were men and women were women.

WTF happened? Ann Margret was a stunner.

Bruce

Yes that is what they showed.

Bruce

Pete, Couple of posts back has pricing info. The thread about pictures has more detailed info about the 35 and Bertram. My Other East, Nav, Gerry Santiago, Richard Mastry, John Hazzard, Bertramp were there. As far as a demographic Tommy was sorta saying they are paying just as much for a 36' center ...

Bruce

Steve is right. The 31 that was behind the small Bertram display was an Elite Marine conversion based in my area and represented by a broker Downey yachts.(obviously up for sale) It was a nice 31, but that was it. I didn't get some of my technical questions answered and at times I felt I was being e...

Bruce

Pricing is in the 600k with genset to start. If sales increase so will price. Power is cat 7 liter to start then 7.1 but they aren't available yet. 450hp. Solid laid up hull no coring, although it was discussed more to come

Bruce

Prop pockets, work out the speed with gearing and large wheels?

Idle speeds? Many questions.

Hueso, I think your right on the price figure. When Pete's lawyers get done, rumor has it he's buying one for everyone.

Bruce

We'll find out for sure.

Tier III emissions are set to kick in 2016. Engine selections will be reduced. Weight certainly will be a factor in the speed.

Bruce

As Tony has eluded to the shirts have come from events one has attended or that others have had made up at one time. A few are custom shirts owners have made for and given out. I don't have any shirts to sell. They are usually available during an event. If anyone has any extras send Nav a message if...

If your running an android based system, it won't support flash.

A baseball bat, a shovel and a bag of lime. Oh wait you said Ditch bag........

Bruce

Usually in the past the 31 folks don't have trouble finding each other. Attire is usually a UVI, gathering or Bertram 31.com shirt. Pat and I will be together.

Bruce

At least they are concentrating on one thing and seem to want to make it right. So many names bought out of bankruptcy throw multiple products out, none of which ever get the scrutiny they deserve. They have one chance to make an impression. Hopefully their hope and change is not the same hope and c...

Very nice boxes Capt. Group buy.............. Yannis, its called being a responsible gun owner which the overwhelming majority are despite liberal media. Now if we were allowed to actually teach Eddie Eagle NRA programs in school(gun responsibility) there would be no need to lock them up. My generat...

Kevin,
Power by the Hour in Boynton Beach. Sorry I missed your car at Cheeca.

Pat,
The jeep was fun.

Bruce

Been out full time since 10'. I got 3 people I help out ocassionaly but my full time work now is building hi performace custom cars, resto mods and #1 restorations. Put in about 55 hours a week. Current projects are 4 mustang coyote conversions. A 66 fastback new from the ground up, 66 mustang conve...

Bruce

Mike, Been using kroil for over 20 years, I think back then it was kanoil or kano aerokroil or something like that. Got a couple of gallons of it. Great for a bore cleaner among many other uses. Since getting out of the boat game full time, I don't find myself using CX that much anymore except on ma...

Watch the making of that video. He crashed and burned many times, hard.

At the end where you see him slightly in the wave......did not end well.

Another male who left his nut sak in a kardashian purse.

Bruce

Hey John, how you been? Serious doubt you had a air bubble with having to add a pint or more of fluid. Besides its a closed pressurized system, an airbubble won't drop the pressure. Air just makes system either noisy, hard to steer or spongy. The 3 lines in the system are port, stb, and the third ca...

Bruce

Pat,
Yes got it. Shirley will be doing the transportation to airport.

Bruce

Pat,
Did you add me or do I need to drop a line for the 5th party?

It seems they are serious about the new product.

Bruce

Frankly there's not enough information in the ad to make suggestions other general boat stuff and hull integrity.
Are you sea trialing it or just looking?

If your sea trialing then engine model, conversion year would be nice as specific recommendations can be made.

Bruce

Go for it Jimmy.

Bruce

The one response to the video calls him a hero. Don't know who that idiot is but their definition of a hero is skewed.

Bruce

Someone ought to pop Jerry Santiago an email. I believe his boat is in Miami and would be a good modern up grade of a classic for the show and not have to travel far.

Bruce

Russ,
If you go to Sanibel watch your speed real good. The local po po likes to give tourista tickets out.
I was 1 mile over the limit and got nabbed. Never been back.

Look into Captiva Island.

Bruce

It all depends on how much in the way of 220vac items you are going to use on whether the load gets semi balanced because no gen load split 220/120 is ever perfectly balanced.

If all your running is 120vac stuff then your original question on conversion was not an option to begin with.

Bruce

I hate to tell you all that current politicians are trying to negotiate with Al Qaeda to fight in Syria. Not only have they forgot, but they want to arm those who's hatred of America runs deep.

Bruce

It was common for old Bertrams to have two seperate power feeds, one to air conditioners one to everything else. Most boats run every thing thru one power system shore or generator. On 120vac 50 amp service its common for current to reach peak quickly as ac power usage on 120v has higher current dra...

Bruce

Your right, the trunk is hugh. Any NJ mobster would envy it.
Actualy when I started there they were filming a pilot for reality tv. Its done and being shopped at A&E, etc. I hope it doesn't fly. Being an ass is one thing, being an ass on tv is another.

Bruce

Pete,
Being a caddie guy, I got a 58 caddie in the shop that we put a LSA supercharged new caddie engine in with a full 4 link custom suspension with air ride.
We got the air ride up and working yesterday.

Sorry you can't make it down. Won't be the same without ya.

Bruce

Hey Pete, would be great to have you come down for the show. We can all listen to the speech and cough.

Bruce

Your on the right track. If you opened the bleed screw on the filter housing and bled fuel till no air with the plunger pump, Injection pump on that engine is pretty much self bleeding. Last resort is loosen the lines to the injectors till you get fuel. After bleeding the filter I close the screw an...

Pay attention boys and girls, at every economic down turn the luxury items start to fall first.

Bruce

My home is your home. I'll even take the day off and come play boats for the day. Time to get the band back together........

Bruce

black smoke sounds like lack of air flow or something loading up the engine like a rope around the prop. Like has been said remove air intake, take your finger and see if the turbo spins. Be very careful running with it off. If it does spin anything that gets close gets sucked in. If turbo is frozen...

Bruce

There is no reason you shouldn't get high hours out of theses engines if they have been well maintained. Paper records can be faked so an oil sample is wise. Also the engines should be looked at for severe paint discoloration(except at turbo housing and intake inlet) which could be a sign of over he...

Bruce

Marlin is right on. On all the engines I've put in the 31, never changed the water line. When fully loaded with fuel, water and supplies for a trip, It would sit with the boot strip submerged in the stern, but normal running conditions nothing changed. Its amazing how much weight the 31 will cary an...
