Not much play! May a 1/4" but would have to re-check for sure. But I see what your saying and I would have never thought of that.

Men-

I didn't want to get kicked off the forum but it is a 1970 36 hatteras. I really appreciate the replies and will get some more pics up after the final hand shake.

No soft spots! The starboard side shows just a little but not that bad. Bob- that does not sound good so I guess I need to postpone my trip to get this fixed. This is one of the few chances with work that I will be able to cut loose and get the boat to Jacksonville. Then after that I could make the ...

amuh60

Damn! That does not sound good. Does anyone know someone in the Deltaville, Va area that could put one together for me? What would cause this? Should I be concerned with something else? When it does break what will be inop or tear up? Also I am attaching a little better picture! Thanks, Andy http://...

Tony-

Do you think it will be good for another 50hrs? What would cause this? I am going to be running the boat from Va beach to Jacksonville, Fl over the holiday weekend and was hoping it would not be a major issue!

Just wondering if the warping is an issue? Is the shelf providing support? Any thoughts..

Thanks,

Harry- The boost pressure looked good and the engines were running very smoothly. There was hardly any smoke on start up. The discharge out the back of the boat was a little dirty for the first minute but cleared up. She turned up to 2800 RPM and still produced very little smoke. I was just a little...

Engines have 1700 hours and wondering if this looks normal?

Thanks,

Andy

amuh60

Thanks for the replies. I am going to sea trial this boat Saturday! -Bob H. how can I tell if the spacing is adequate? These engines have about 1700 hours and propped turning 2850 at full load. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

How many hours can you get on these motors before rebuild if very well maintained and not run hard?

Thanks,

Just went up there on Saturday to look at a boat. The 2 major marinas near Nags Head looked like they had a bunch to choose from. I will try to get a # for one.

One of the great things about the newer power is less weight and more compact. This engine room with 1271s is much more crowded. and about 2500lbs heavier. http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn274/amuh60/McMillan220.jpg http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn274/amuh60/McMillan217-1.jpg http://i306.ph...

I was definitely not talking about the legendary older CAT engines (3208). We have the same familiar stories about our 30 year old CAT equipment. Was and may still be cream of the crop but they definitely have the prices of cream of the crop. That used to be about all we bought. I am talking about t...

amuh60

Hubris- I am currently going to take a leap and go look at a boat with these 2002 TAMD 63P (300HRS AND 370HP)! I have been around boats with Detroit 71series, Cummins 6bta, perkins, yanmar, rolls royce. But I am definitely not close to any TYPE of expert. I can change oil, filters and few other regu...

Good or Bad engines?

thanks

ANDY

I am in! My vote would be P'cola or Orange Beach area.

Can anyone suggest a good trailer builder in the Southeast Region(AL,FL,MS,LA,TX etc..) for the 31 Bertram?

Thanks,

I went to Cobalts on Tuesday. Boy has the beach changed in the past 4years!

Doug-

I would definitely be in! I just got back from Hawaii and closing on house/moving so looking forward to meeting up with some of yall around the Gulf Coast.

-ANDY

WILCO!

Thanks Again for the post

amuh60

That is a good report. We will be coming from Morehead City in a 53 Hat SF. Only problem is the complete date keeps getting pushed back. Thanks for the report. It is now looking like April before being complete.

That is great I will be able to get some first hand info on the fish over there.

-ANDY

Harry-

I am going to try to fish out of Venice during the break. Hopefully the Yellow Fin will show up at the Lumps by the end of January/early Feb.

-Andy

DQ-

No that was a time-on-target exercise plus/minus 30seconds. They are very restricted over in Hawaii on "live fire" areas. It would be a good target though!

-ANDY

amuh60

Harry- If you look real close in the last 2 pics you will see my helicopter! Unless I had been drinking a lot that night we did not take the helicopter underwater JK..! Anyhow those pictures are being taken under night vision goggles. The ship is actually sitting above water. My understanding is thi...

amuh60

Harry- Here is a liberty ship located just off the island of Lanai (Island in Hawaii). My understanding is that they used this shoal as a "junk yard" for getting rid of the ship back after WWII. There is another one located not too far down the beach. -ANDY http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn274/a...

TOMMY-

Hopefully yall will make it through in JAN. I would not be to far behind. I am going to do some more research but if you dont mind keeping me up-to-date with what you find out (first hand).

THANKS,

ANDY

amuh60

Tommy-

Thanks, I will try the other website you mentioned. The Army Corps Eng. was not easy to navigate/find info.

-ANDY

amuh60

Is it open for 3-5' draft?

-ANDY

amuh60

Pretty funny!

amuh60

Yalls profile pic says otherwise, maybe I should just bring my dad along .... JUST KIDDING! Look forward to meeting yall.

-ANDY

Kipp & Harry-

I am a young buck but might like to join in sometime to get advice and wisdom. I will be getting back to Alabama in mid JAN and taking some time off.

-ANDY

amuh60

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

These were 2 Marlin hits off the North Shore of Oahu right before I sold the boat 3 weeks ago. It was a good way to end it. I looked at my log book and put 300hrs on the ANNIE C over the last 11 months! I already miss the hell out of the boat but am looking forward to purchasing a 31 when I get back...

amuh60

JP-

I concur.

Thanks

amuh60

I was looking at the very last page where it has copy right 1/69. Sounds like everyone was saying that up until 72-73 the boats were weighing in close to 15000lbs but if the date and specs on your brochure are correct it sounds like around 1/69 they were 9600lbs. Anyhow, I appreciate the brochure it...

amuh60

Looks like the brochure is dated 1/69?

If so 1969 and > models are weighing in at appox. 9600 lbs with gas engines? Is that correct?

-ANDY

amuh60

Thanks, that really helps me understand. I am not a diesel mechanic. This guy just sent me the photos and acts like he does not know a lot of info. I am going to get some specifics this week.

-ANDY

amuh60

Harry- I will definitely get in touch! The locals out here put there boat names across the front which is ugly as HELL! But I figured since I was here I would do the same thing in order to try to be a little more "accepted" by the locals! Anyhow, I had "ANNIE C., BAY MINETTE, AL" across the front! O...

amuh60

Doug-

I will be flying out of Hawaii on the 15Jan. Should be feet dry in Alabama by the 17JAN.

amuh60

Thats me! Yeh most helicopter pilots like to have a good time while out flying ! I have never flown the cobra but have seen it in action overseas! It is one hell of a gunship!

-ANDY

amuh60

I am from Bay Minette! Spent all my life in Baldwin County (LOVE IT) until college in Tuscaloosa (Roll Tide)! And then off to the ARMY and god knows where all they have sent me! I will be stationed at Ft. RuckeR being a flight instructor for the UH-60 Blackhawk school!

-ANDY

amuh60

That is great info! So the actual design and strength are the same just more weight?

Thanks

amuh60

Hell no! I would love to stay in Hawaii! But being back in the states will put me and my family closer to our families! I was stationed in Hawaii for 3 years and spent maybe 1 actual year in hawaii! But you better believe I made the best of it by getting a 25' shipped out and fishing it usually 2 ti...

amuh60

Thanks, I am leaning towards the Flybridge model (closed in bulkhead). In Hawaii I believe the open MODEL is better because the temp is always wonderful and a nice breeze. Back home (Alabama) on a humid 95 deg day on the Gulf I think It would be nice to suck up some a/c even if it is tight quarters!...
