Was supposed to be in FL this weekend and was gonna do the Miami game .... well, work had different plans for my weekend, so I'm here on LI in the SERIOUS cold ....spring can not come fast enough !!

Do any of you folks other than me still have manual (non-hydraulic) steering ?

Bertramp

I second Mike's comment !!

As of Saturday 11/9 ... Bluebeard was sitting in Montauk Marine Basin (Darenberghs) with canvas in place and botton clean.
Cockpit was not covered at the time.

Bertramp

I too agree. I appreciate the comraderie, the freeflowing knowlwdge and the chances to have a cold one with a friend. The funny thing on 31s, there are no new ones .... some look brand new and are better than new, but there are no new ones. So at this point, your boat has either gone through a re-do...

Bertramp

welcome back buddy !!

Bertramp

I still have the originals that screw to a pad epoxied to the side of the hull over the outlet! LOL! I like that style if you can still get it. That style is still available. My question, what style 31 do you have ? Do you have an epoxied pad and the vent hole one on each side. Maybe they only did ...

Bertramp

Just a note .... Craig and I met up and looked at the blowers.
His present set up is simple and seems quite effective.
My plan is to duplicate it.
On a seperate note, his boat also has only the port side 3" exhaust, but his present installation (not original) does not use it.

OEM was a blower each side....

I have a "cutout" on port side that had a PAR 3" blower that was flange mounted. There is nothing on the starboard side.
Was mine a Friday afternoon boat or was the starboard side a different set-up ? Just curious ....

Bertramp

The original that mounts on a block on the port side is shot. A makeshift has been in place and is what I have been using, but I want to replace with the orignal. I notice that you folks are saying "blowers" (plural) ....are you running one on each side ? ... is the original single not up to current...

Bertramp

Thanks for the input guys.
Craig ... I'm around this weekend

Well...finaly the deck is up and new supports and bulkheads being installed with a new forward deck (bahia mar) being made from COOSA. Deck aft of engine boxes will be a Glasstech (B.Lico version) Question ... for you gassers out there (like me) ... how do you have your bilge blowers set up and what...

Bertramp

Gert .....
If they are not available and you have no response by Thursday, send me an email BERTRAMP1@aol.com and I will get you shirts from the ft Lauderdale Boat Show on Friday.

Bertramp

Gert....of course you realize that you are just setting yourself up to be kidnapped by me and sentenced to hard labor on my boat !!
beautiful job !!

After both suffering from depression for a while, the wife and I were going to commit suicide yesterday.
But strangely enough, once she killed herself, I started to feel a lot better.
So I thought, screw it, I'll soldier on!

Bertramp

I will probably be going on friday or saturday

Bertramp

I took a look at BlueBeard over the weekend.
One of the funny things about this websight ..... there are some awfully big hearts in this group of old pirates .... and that's a good thing !!

Bertramp

To mention a 1911 and 9mm in the same sentence is like calling out beetle juice 3 times. 9mm is for a Hi Power, Beretta 92, Glock, FNH or others, not a traditional 1911 John Moses Browning design. AHHHHHHHH! Say 6 hail glocks and 10 our colts and you shall be absolved of your sins my son. If that's...

The book really is phenomenal and a nice remembrance of a great guy and era.
It's great seeing pictures from 35 yrs ago of guys that I know now.

I managed to get a copy on EBAY .... what a GREAT book !!
I was in Montauk yesterday with my book and saw Bluebeard in the marina.
I did toast him.

The website and the East End have lost a great guy ..... sad news indeed !!

An elderly man was stopped by the police around 2 a.m and was asked where he was going at that time of night. The man replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late." The officer then asked, "Really? Who's gi...

did you check "Boats and Harbors" magazine ..... (the yellow pages)

Bertramp

I now have a pulpit and no bow chock, but in the past had it on a 25 and a dufferent 31, so thought they were the same.
I agree that one of the joys of this site is the vast array of knowledge .... and some of the "Tom Foolery" too !
Cheers guys ... have a nice weekend and be safe out there

If Mike still wants his paperweight, there has been one on EBAY for quite some time.

Bertramp

If I come home with that ... I'd better be ready to eat it and sleep with it !!

You "east-end" guys are tough ..... we're behind you 110% !!

I think Hatteras was originally in High Point, NC and moved as the boats got larger. I was at their old plant.

A man came home from fishing one day.

His wife left a note on the fridge:

"It's not working, I can't take it anymore!! Gone to stay with my Mother!!!"

He opened the fridge, the light came on, and the beer was cold . . .

He thought to himself: "What the hell is she talking about?"

Bertramp

the boat on the cover looks like a classic 20' bahia mar.

Charlie ...
