Great shots of Buddy Boy.

How does the pricing compare to a 35 Carolina , 35 Cabo, and 37 Billfisherman Ocean?

Craig Mac

Also surprised that they went for a flybridge ----big improvement over the last 36 they introduced--that was butt ugly.

Craig Mac

Now I am anxious to see what power will be available?

Craig Mac

For anybody that has seen the renderings---I am hoping that the 35 will be a cross between a Blackfin 32/33 and a Liberty 42, low profile with motor boxes---is it anything close?

Craig Mac

Boat is up for sale again on yachtworld

Craig Mac

I was considering removal of the rear bulkhead---but decided to go with big windows and no door----really opened up the cabin and kept the support.

Craig Mac

I concur with keeping it thinner----I tried a thicker material with formica and I cracked it trying to get it in place.

Threw it in the dumpster and started again.

Craig Mac

Mike --where do you dock you boat now----I was at Oakland s the other day and didn't see you--unless you were out....

Craig Mac

I plan on redoing some/all my bonding wires---any suggestions for the secondary wire---what gauge?

For the rudder ports, I see multiple wires----is this necessary or recommended?

Actually, I am sure I am missing some----does anybody have factory detail for this?

Craig Mac

J.P.---

Are you fishing your new boat?

Craig Mac

There are plenty on the web--just google images

Craig Mac

I was in Freeport, NY over the weekend and saw a nice resto--STORM KING-----dark blue hull and Bahia Mar hardtop---anybody know her?

Not sure final results--but she had a good chance to take first in the Hudson Anglers Shark Tourn.

Craig Mac

Regarding pods----I noticed that all the custom boat builders jumped on this and built a few---but most of the new builds seem to be conventional shafts--with little talk about them--what's the final verdict on pods for fishing boats?.....maintenance?...

Craig Mac

I had some success buying used parts from Murray Bro and Scoponich---they usually have parts after doing a refurbish.

Craig Mac

I would like to order 2 t-shirts--medium size----I spoke with Lin---there a couple of designs---I want the old design-short sleeved-----can you send me a picture to confirm design

Craig Mac

Peter Wright fishing in Costa Rica on a 31--has really good things to say about the boat--

"I'd fish this little boat anywhere in the world for giant marlin" "It's a great little boat"

Craig Mac

I have my new handle---what is the best caulking to bed into hatch?

Craig Mac

Are you doing any t-shirts? Awhile back (2011?) a really nice design ----I tried t get one , but there were none left.

Craig Mac

Great video of 31's running

Craig Mac

I think I located one at Overton's --looks like the one---just need to reconfirm measurement.

Craig Mac

I broke the deck handle for the centerline hatch between the motor boxes---looking to replace---any ideas?

No markings--stainless

Craig Mac

Sorry Guys, It's the same boat I posted previously.

I have no connection to the boat--not trying to push a sale.......

Craig Mac

Another boat with very big motors:

Craig Mac

Odd looking resto--looks like a lot of money went into it....

http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/bod/4989165596.html

Craig Mac

My boat started as a FBC---I removed the door and stand-up head ------still have a bulkhead with the largest windows I could make.

The front windows were glassed in --so I needed to open it up as much as possible.

Craig Mac

I am thinking for a temporary basis to check my analog tachs------problem would be distance to bridge--can the leads be extended----electronics is not one of my strong subjects------when I am testing the boat, just want to know the correct rpms and how it compares to my gauges---without having someo...

Craig Mac

J.P.----Any update on your new project?-----I saw it at Carvers in the fall--

Craig Mac

I know there are some inexpensive photo tachs on the market that read from the flywheel--but came across this one that takes info off sparkplug lead---do you think they are accurate ? http://answers.northerntool.com/answers/0394/product/160590/digital-hour-meter-and-tachometer-questions-answers/ques...

Craig Mac

Looks like a steal

Craig Mac

I had posted some pics of this boat a while ago-----thought it was a good restoration.

Up for sale--Hinkley did the work.

Craig Mac

Reminds me of the 37 Merritt that was re-powered with big diesels that required additional flotation----owner (Pope-National Enquirer) dumped big $$$ but boat never ran right. I think all 37's were built with gas --later updated with various diesels ----I think Do Stay out of Jupiter is the only one...

Craig Mac

Would like to see some interior pics---see if it was updated as well.

Craig Mac

I didn't think they would fit:

Craig Mac

I have a light gas boat ---30mph @3200 & 28mph @3000

Craig Mac

No substitute for cubic inches---454 and 496 are the way to go for gas----on paper the 6.0 looks good, but in the real world
I have heard of disappointments.

Check out this thread on the Blackfin site:

Craig Mac

Joseph,

Your friend's 25 looks interesting, can you post some more info and pics?

Craig Mac

Joseph--I believe you are correct.

Looking closely now I can see that too.

Craig Mac

I found this ad---something doesn't look correct---pics out of water and description show inboard--but topside shows I/O motor box....

Craig Mac

You are pretty close to L & H ---they have done a few 25's---they may have some good ideas.

Craig Mac

Tommy,

Liberty also built a 45 Flybridge---

Craig Mac

I regularly ship boxes to Hong Kong---I use Express Mail from US Post office---very dependable and cheaper than the private carriers.

New York to Hong Kong takes about 3-5 days--boxes usually 15-20 lbs---run a $100-150

Craig Mac

Regarding the original pcs that Bertram finished----was there a boot stripe? Did it follow the chine or the water line?

Craig Mac

I am in too.

Craig Mac

Correction--Liberty made a 45 ---http://www.yachtopolis.com/index_details.asp?id=27140

I am just saying the Liberty 42 and 45 look more like a 31 than any model that Bertram ever introduced---

Craig Mac

I took the dinette out of mine and made a day bed with underneath storage---on the port side took out the standup head and made a u-shaped galley---moved the head into v-berth (it's a day boat)---

Craig Mac

I saw one at the Palm Beach boat show---beautiful boat---the boat that Bertram should have built. I think they built a 46 with similar lines.

Craig Mac

Found this interesting mold

http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/boa/4670405854.html

Craig Mac

This looked like a good example--just sold
