That would be even more costly, time consuming, and added work for Gert....

yes, but the end result would be an additional mold, that he arguably might want

Bertramp

If shipping to Gert is that crazy, maybe have a plug made and ship that, so he can make his own mold.

At one point I had heard that the government wanted the 28 Hatteras as patrol boats, but due to a disagreement with Hatteras (Slane), bought one, made a mold and had someone else build the boats.

In FL, we have a refrigerator with freezer in the garage. My wife has never liked and has outright complained about the fact that I took over the freezer for bait. Well, I'm in NY and she's in FL, yesterday morning, she noticed that the garage kinda smelled funny. Long story short, refrigerator took...

The funny thing is the boat stuff I have taken on planes.
The mold got a strange look, but nothing gets the look of a boat fender.
The plastic stock ... just the stock ... of a Mossberg almost got me arrested and surely on someones list somewhere !!

Bertramp

Mine arrived today !!

My son installed the following "D" gasket and we have not had a leak all summer. It is rubber and shaped like a "D". When you close the window it squashes down and creates a solid seal. If you do buy the stuff call me and we will tell you the best way to install. It's not rocket science. They use t...

You never cease to amaze !!

Walter was a great guy and is missed in Montauk. I always peeked at his boat in Montauk Marine Basin when it was there for sale. Sadly enough, I saw Carl Darenberg, owner of the marina (and contributor to our rendezvous) check on "BlueBeard" Labor Day weekend on the Saturday and he passed away on th...

Bertramp

Thanks Cap

Bertramp

Hi Guys ....
I'm replacing the old fiberglass engine box insulation ..... what is recommended ?
Thanks

Bertramp

Bob ....
sanded please

Bertramp

I stalled and handed off to Bob .....
He grabbed the ball and ran with it
A good team effort .....

Bertramp

I don't have list in front of me, but it was $25 a pop ... I do remember an overseas gentleman kicking in more.
I will dig out the list on the weekend ... I think I actually posted at one point on the site.
Work & life have been crazy, but I will try to address in next few days.

Bertramp

Hatteras had a 45 express at the show that i would swear was a 45 CABO in disguise, even though the salesman said no.
Hatteras hasn't made a 45' boat in many years .... and "coincidentally" CABO is gone and a 45 pops up.

Bertramp

Bob....sorry for not getting back to ya.
I will dust off the list and we can go from there.

Bertramp

Sadly enough, when I went to the Ferretti display at the Lauderdale show and asked about Bertram, everyone got a blank look on their face and I was informed that they are not at the show and production has ceased.

Bertramp

I agree .....
No mention as to effects that it will have as it pushes further north, even though it will be out to sea

Bertramp

yeah, but the real problem is that the plug for the boat hull is still in the floor of the jeep !! :-D

Bertramp

Yeah.... 32 Blackfin is a spinoff 31 .... Cant deny that.
We are lucky enough to be discussing some of the finer products out there.

Bertramp

Very nice boat, but looks more like a 32 Blackfin to me ..... not that that is a bad thing !!

Bertramp

Windshield on my Bahia Mar keeps leaking. Boought foam stick on gasketing and did the bottom and sides ... still leaking (duh, shoulda done the top first). Is there a tried and true way to seal these aluminum windshields ? Is the original gasketting still available ? I have only a bimini top coming ...

Bertramp

Check the beam on a 25.
Some states only allow 8' beam and the 25 is over that.

Bertramp

What was prior home port ?
I was on one a few years back in VA., that was selling off the 6V92s and I think putting in CATS .... sweet boats

Bertramp

Cats a big plus, most had Detroits .... pretty boats !!

Bertramp

Not many of those flybridge 37/38 Topaz boats built .... lines are gorgeous !! .... or is it a 44?
I always thought Topaz was Maryland built. Enjoy !!

The time will come again.

Site is for those who enjoy the 31...whether admire from a distance, own or wish to own. My humble opinion anyway.

So don't forget to Log On more often then not.

Carl

Ditto .... don't let yourself become a stranger !!

Bertramp

Funny thing .... But, As some of you know, I worked in the towers and ran through the street that morning. Prior to that day, I felt extremely safe in the building (2WTC). There were 8' diameter concrete planters with gorgeous flowers in from of every entrance (baracades) ... a guard that knew me re...

I lived in Westchester and Dutchess Counties for a bit and boated on the Hudson. Although it is a river, it is a large body of water and the real kicker can be the commercial traffic, which as we know is large and can't usually stop until they have mowed you down. But, if you don't see them , either...

I gotta think that they were all partying together ........

Looks awfully nice !!!

Right Purdy !!

The items that I left on my desk on the evening of 09/10/2001 have never been seen by me since. I had boat parts in my office from Hatteras. They knew that they had shipped to me in the towers days earlier. I received a gift of a replacement. The "H folks" were/are a class act !! A day that changed ...

Bertramp

NEVER !!

Bertramp

I did a search of 31s from 1971 - 1973 and three ouitboard powered boats showed up ... and none cheaply priced !!

Bertramp

Please keep me inmind if you sell the bowrail ....

The wake was last night, he will be buried today. A great guy and a friend to our club and the B31. If you have a copy of Walter's cookbook, note a picture of him with his Dad, taken when he was in his early twenties. Several months ago, I busted his chops about signing his picture ..... I wish that...

Just heard the very sad news that Carl Darenberg of Montauk Marine Basin passed away earlier today in montauk. He was a several time gift sponsor for our Greenport gatherings. I bought an old 41 Hatteras from his dad some 25 years ago. I said hi to him on saturday, just after looking at Walters boat...

Pete ... I just went down a similar road with my crusaders. I would look into a block and having someone yank the old and install your peripherals on the new block. Lease expensive way out and when needed do the same on the other side. That swap can be done fairly quickly on a 31(engines are accessa...

Bertramp, Yes that's me east of Havens Beach. "Retriever" Got it in the water early this year compared to last year when my summer time on the boat was mostly working on it in the driveway. So far this year everything works, but still doing cosmetics my wife insists on - like seats. JP Were you in ...

I agree !!
Thanks

Bertramp

Glad that I got to do a quick drop in Friday night.
Great people and some sweet rides !!

It was great to see some old faces and
some new first timers, now "family" too.
By land, sea and air. My visit was short,
but VERY much fun. My best to all!!

Sag Harbor, half hour, dock to dock .... I
know someone that wants to go!!

Wondering if there are going to be any 25s there? Its a weekend that I had unfortunately planned to be working upstate, but a friend of mine is interested in buying a 25 and thought the Rendzevous might be an opportunity to see and talk about them. If so I might be able to get free and shoot over f...
