sounds like fun

what Rawleigh said... and the threat of a lawsuit ....

thuddddddd

having said that .. do you have detachable butts? you could(I would guess) jsut swap them out for longer butts

thuddddddd

Personally .... it's all about standup gear ... get a good belt/plate combo . and safety lines for the rods .. leave the chair at home

I have this one , and like it a lot .. we use them on Giant Bluefin with spinning rods

..... at least part of the RLDT has some class ... (LOL)

thuddddddd

BTW..... honestly .. there is a lot more information and "skills" here than over on the Sams page ....

thuddddddd

Welcome aboard.. and good luck with the project .... don't listen to these guys .. they have real boat envy ..... RLDT's (rolling little death traps 31 Berts) are the short bus's of the yacht world .. and our 34's are near the top of the food chain .....

thuddddddd

Pete,
I'm sure this is a dumb question .. but have you shot the motor with a temp gauge to verify it's the motor and not the gauge? ...

old write up by pasco .. might still be relevant .. might not

thuddddddd

that is a fast gasser Pete has..... even in knots it's still fast ... light fuel @ 170gal... but dammmmmmm

thuddddddd

Don't worry .. it's a Bertram thing ... noses in the air and all that ... if you need to know how much the 61 costs.. you obviously cant afford it .... the Hatteras people.. on the other hand would go out of their way to make you feel like part of the family .. even once you told them you had a 31' ...

thuddddddd

All of what you say is true..... BUT.... ... there is still a 30k plus delta between gas and diesel .... it would seem you could solo charter a lot of things for a few canyon trips a year.. or buy a lot of fuel for buddies with bigger diesel boats for those trips .... regarding resale .. once you ge...

thuddddddd

Pete, Here's my take ... look at what the market is bearing for a finished 31 in both gas and diesel .... and cost compare it to what your all in number is going to be . the refit plus repower both as gas .. and diesel.... I'm doing that with baby hat ... I know what the refit is going to cost me .....

Tony were those new prices? or remans?

It makes me sad that you think that .....

It makes me sadder that it's true .......

LOL.... if only it was that easy...

I doubt it .. the logistics are kind of a PIA and it's in the middle of dog trial season (championships) . .but who knows

Paul had some 2 person bench that seemed very well made...

LOL... I think there will be some major flybridge modifications .. after looking at the layout of the new 35 bert...

thuddddddd

the whole thing ... previous owners prep is cracking , flaking and peeling .... leaning toward dry ice right now .. and practicing on the underside and flybridge .. if I can't find someone thats actually done it before

thuddddddd

anyone remember what Paul used for that double wide helm on CAPY .. thought it was 5star but no google searches come back with anything

thuddddddd

Has anyone DIY'd their boat? Due to the crappy prep the last owner or 2 did to my 34 I need to take it all down.. Had a few estimates 5-10k .. the guy that came and looked figured around 5ish, and 2 days work. I can rent a dry ice blaster for around 1100 for a week or a soda blaster for 700.00 .. It...

Neil.. you and can Charlie screw ...... I don't even know why Charlie posts anymore .. he traded that lovely 31 for a Bearmobile .... (after reflecting.. the P-town get together would be a perfect destination for he and the car) ..... it will (I hope) see the water ... old whats her name will make m...

Trankle .. come pick us up ... Baby Tubbbb won't be ready till mid aug (and by ready I mean in the water and floating ... it ain't gonna be purty this year) ... I'll cover the fuel costs..

easy now Tony

thuddddddd

I would think as much easy access to the stuffing boxes and thru hulls, as you can get would be a benifit..... I'm trying to figure out where to put them on the new deck of the baby hatt

thuddddddd

Thanks Tony and Mark... Funny thing about the prop calculator...with the available info , and even making stuff up (gear ratio/existing prop sizes/hp/total weight ) ... there isn't a lot of performance difference between the various props (on the basic calculator) 20-22knt cruise @4100 , around 20-2...

thuddddddd

Looks good.... congratulations and good luck

thuddddddd

BTW... my condolences for having to admit you know Maggs

thuddddddd

Have a mech do a full check with leak down to confirm they are worth keeping .. and then swap to EFI????? ... or buy those 170 yanys on a different thread (btw, someone was selling a couple of efi mercruisers with low hours for around 12k with gears.. they were doing a diesel conversion)

thuddddddd

Thanks Tony..... pretty interesting playing with the calculator.... I need to get a real weight on the boat and some other information

thuddddddd

Charlie..... I've never puked on a real boat.... mostly RLDT's ..... so no... not this one , or the 41

thuddddddd

I remember a prop calculator... anyone have the link?

thuddddddd

what are the 170's worth on the market? My thought would be that the cost upfront , and long term to lighten the boat and keep it that way as you refine it might be offset .. certainly the lack of "speed" will always be an issue for you and future buyers (in my opinion)

thuddddddd

[ Maybe that is why Jim Curly changed them out. I remember when he did that, he was one of the first to go with Yanmars up hear in NJ and everyone talked about it. But he had a car dealership, and access to a lot of this stuff at dealer cost so not so bad for him to do it back then. Jim Curly?? LOL...

With the new project... and a place to put it inside for the winter, I think I'm going to see what all the fabric and drapery options are (marine wise)

that hull is about 2" thick LOL. Basically Timmy proof! I thought the same thing about the first one, but where there's a will there's a way. He has some pretty big saws..... I'm pretty sure I hate you ...... Had the mech on board tue.... pulled the water pumps for rebuild, supposed to be back toda...
