Last fishing trip on my 25'! We had a double header the other fish broke the leader at the end of the fight! This was the second fish we reeled in so he was not revivable! All on light tackle and 8 ft seas! But here in Hawaii youput the baits out when you leave the jetties! http://i306.photobucket.c...

I am from Alabama (GulfCoast) and will be stationed near that area. When did they stop putting helm stations in the cabin (only want 1 set of controls)! Are there any differences with engine compartment dimensions on the later vs earlier years? When you say late 70s are we talking about after 75? Wh...

Just sold my 25' bertram out in Hawaii and will be getting stationed back in the states! I am going to start looking around for a 31'! My question is what are the differences in year boats? Any other suggestions? What are the major upgrades to be looking for? Unfortunately cant afford a SeaNile, Bud...

The engines that is!

CPT Patrick-

Roger that! When I was tightning down the bolts I was not paying attention and pulled one a 1/4" into the ply! That is when I knew! I should have used bigger washers! Anyhow, they seem pretty durn sturdy and I will put some circular plates on the bolts and get to fishing!

Thanks,

Andy

Harv-

Do you think I should also anchor the base of the backing board to the bridge floor? It is 1" plywood!

Roger that! I already had thought I went a little light with 1/2" vs. 1-1.5" flat washers! But adding another plate sounds even better!

Thanks,

Andy

Thanks for the advice and help! I installed the outriggers this weekend and plan to fish them next !

Randall- Do you have any problems fishing the riggers from the bridge? Do you put your rods in the gunnel holders while trolling? Do you have any issues with the riggers being unstable in rough water? I really like them on the bridge because it gets them out of the way. Also, you don't have to worry...

What is the best place to mount 1 7/8 " ID wishbone mounts on this boat? The outriggers are aluminum (non spreader) 18 1/2 ' and 1 3/4" base. I am debating gunnel or bridge! Not sure which would be better for fishing. Also, worried about the structural support in both places. I have even thought abo...
