I would also recommend Raybo for fiberglass and paint work.

I am not sure if Rob will undertake the mechanical areas for a restoration or a repower.

Craig Mac

John,

Looks great, I think it is one of the best looking Bahia's --love the color and the way you handled the windshield.

Craig Mac

Tight Lines!

I hope to get to Greenport to see her..

Craig Mac

I found this build thread on another web site---does anyone know the boat ?

First time I have seen these motors in one.

Depending on where you are located, local fabrication is preferred. I did mine in aluminum and coated in coal tar epoxy.

My original tank was the larger 220, try to go bigger.

Craig Mac

Peter,

Will try to get you a pic, but mine fills at the tank, no deck fill. If i had a deck fill would probably take out , I like it clean.

Craig Mac

looks great, do you expect to splash her soon?

Craig Mac

JP,

Just curious on how you target whites over tuna? Any insight would be appreciated.

Primarily fishing Hudson-Block, maybe they are just not there, but haven't heard of any landings in recent past. It was the target species when I first fished Hudson way back in 1970!

Craig Mac

Are you sure the teak handles are original ?---I have only seen metal handles.

Craig Mac

I am in-check in the mail

Craig Mac

I am sure this was posted before----but the following company makes a model---$430.00

Craig Mac

used on & off and followed up with some metal polish --came out very good.

Craig Mac

I would be 2

Craig Mac

Whats is the best way to clean props? They are Nibral.

Craig Mac

Russ,

Looks great, lots of luck and tight lines!

Can you refresh my memeory on your project---did you do a repower as well? What state was the boat in when you started?

Looks like some Cabrerra work in the cabin.

Craig Mac

If sea trials go well, my freind is buying a boat in Cape May, NJ. Will be taking it back to Long Island, running along the beach to Sandy Hook and then to Jones Inlet.

Probably run at 20 kts---Cape May to Sandy Hook--how long a trip?

Craig Mac

That orange boat is a real early boat---if you look really close --it looks like the bridge is a seperate mold that was attached--also never saw one with that teak trim.

Craig Mac

It could be the 4th Bahia Mar but not the 4th hull, I don't think that model was offered until 1965 or it's the 4th hull that was converted to a Bahia Mar

Craig Mac

can anyone advise me why the picture is being automatically cropped-----On photobucket the picture is larger

Craig Mac

I know of three 31's that took part in the Cat Cay Tournament one year or another: THUNDERBIRD, HOPALONG, and STORMY PETREL (Tommy Giffords boat)

Craig Mac

I loaded pic from photobucket---it keeps getting cropped---there is more pic of the bertram on the original pic

Craig Mac

Name on the boat is THUNDERBIRD--anyone know her?

Craig Mac

I have a print ad from the 1960's and it shows a big block gas motor with a bw tranny.

There is a bracket on the transmission that holds the oil cooler---it seems like a better location than mine---has anybody seen a bracket like this?

Craig Mac

I have posted this for a friend--please call him for pricing

Ritchie 516-524-3552

Craig Mac

As my friend has discontinued he rebuild project, due to Sandy. He has quite a few parts available. I will post to the classified section.

Craig Mac

What is good about the Holmsey piece is that it is double skinned--so you have a finished surface for the interior as well.

A friend bought the mold from Glastech which had raw fiberglass on the inside.

Craig Mac

Is the Holmsey item still available? That's what I used and thought it was a good product. Just wondering why people on going through the trouble to make their own molds....

Craig Mac

The boat is a 2000 not sure where it was made. We did find a couple more in Cape May which is closer, probably look at those first. Also a 35 Preditor (Egg Harbor) and a 31 Cabo---any comments on those would be appreciated. Bob, you met my friend, he bought the Gambler and spent two years rebuilding...

Craig Mac

My friend is considering a 32 Topaz---has anybody fished on one?

Looking at a 2000 with Cummins--located in Ocean City Maryland--REEL INSTIGATOR

Craig Mac

In addition to sweeping the palsters---has anybody fiberglassed the outboard filler pieces of the motor boxes instaed of making them removable? I understand for some boats with generators this would be a problem.

Craig Mac

Besides the money, it really comes down to how are you going to use the boat? How many hours a season and how many trips will need that kind of range? Also, if you plan on doing any service yourself? Although every year I promise myself to use the boat more, I am probably down to 50 hours a season. ...

Craig Mac

The owner is probably a retired cabinet maker.

Interior looks similar to some of the Warton redo's

Craig Mac

I noticed that Hines-Farley not too many around. I was on a 34 foot--I think they only made one--my friend was doing some major upgrades on--a big 34. Curious on the teak toe rail--did they grind down the fiberglass or just covered it. Not sure if you can tell from the pics, but those are not coamin...

Craig Mac

uploaded pics to photobucket---but still not getting photos to post

Craig Mac

Craig Mac

i have some pics but still having a problem posting----

Craig Mac

Was bumming around the docks in Brielle and found PAPI CHULO-port of call BROOKLYN, interesting boat totally redone, anyone know her?

Blue Hull, Teak Transon
Teak deck and covering boards and toe rail
No side or front windows-solid fiberglass

Craig Mac

Haven't been in Stuart for a while, but I always admired a 20ft Bahia Mar that sat on a trailer in Finest Kind Marina.

Craig Mac

I did see the boat on tha hard at Rybovich years back--maybe they installed it.

Craig Mac

Its an automatic! Needs a proper 4-speed-looks like a 1970---last year of high compression

Craig Mac

They updated their website-there are a couple of bertram projects mentioned

http://lhboats.com/

Craig Mac

My boat was originally a flybridge cruiser with a stand up head, realized that fishing with a bunch of guys, no one was using the head and it takes up a lot of room in that small cabin. My front windows are also glassed in which also makes the cabin a litte darker. Without the standup (i have the he...

Craig Mac

Understand internal strainers take up a lot of room, but if you delete them not really sure what you are doing with that space.

I also perfer the internal strainers, it is a routine with me, checking fluids, stuffing boxes, and strainers after every trip.

Craig Mac

Marlin, thanks for your info.

Did you use any spine in the joint? Dowel or biscuit? If yes, what materiial did you use?

Craig Mac

My friend is getting ready to install teak covering boards and is looking for some guidence.

Best glue --not planning on using any screws

For joints---best way to splice

Any other tips to prevent cracking and curling

Craig Mac

On another web site there is a question of deadrise for a 25 bertram--I believe it the same as a 31--23 or 24 degrees.

Can't find a reliable source for this.

Craig Mac

on my boat---there is no interference with the fuel tank for access.
