That is similar to what I paid. What I have found is that marina costs/rates in Florida are about double what they are in Louisiana.

JeremyD

What's reasonable? And I shipped mine and it had radar / VHF etc and it was around 3500 + 500 to remove Hard top at a Louisiana boatyard - 2 1/2 years ago.

JeremyD

Fein type cordless multi-tool is worth it's weight in gold for this job. Did some sections under my gunnels and it made quick work

JeremyD

Love the hatch and the progress - Window frames look great too

Trolling motor more for GPS anchor / spot lock

Looks like an old intrepid with the cuddy cabin - Ad says 220 gallons

JeremyD

Thanks Marshall - try the letter G . 50 cab [all together] @gmail.com

JeremyD

Hey Marshall - I'll take them off your hands pay for shipping and make a contribution to the board. Shipping to 33703 and I can venmo or paypal?

JeremyD

Appreciate all you do Bruce

JeremyD

Not sure where I'd put it

JeremyD

I think the 19,400 HP helps.

A Bertram 31 @ 14,000 lbs and two 330 Cummins is at 21 lbs per HP

Skinny witch @ 55,400 lbs and 19,400 HP is at 2.78 lbs per HP

What you don't see in the photos is the ceiling. I haven't installed the finish ceiling yet. Thats on my list of additional projects. I'm planning on using a 1/4" high density coosa with a single layer of mat glass for the ceiling and paint it a light blue. If someone else has a better idea for the...

Love the factory hardtop

JeremyD

Shannon, it's an original top-deck with an aftermarket livewell that was fabricated into it. The aftermarket livewell kit may have come from Cabrera. Was thinking the same thing. I also cut out the wood from the underside and added a couple of layers of foam board and glassed and sandwhiched in 170...

JeremyD

It's a sad day then -

JeremyD

When I went to insure mine in Florida - I was told by one of the agents that it was possible to get a value determined by one of their surveyors for an older boat. I ended up just getting an agreed value - less than what it's worth but also willing to accept from Progressive so didn't pursue any fur...

JeremyD

Boats are not like cars - Just get a Survey and you should be good to go.

JeremyD

I know about the inside release - it looks like they have pins in the corner. Corroded pins - but pins... If that's not the case - and I just need to get them to a horizontal position and pull - I can do that. I have a guy locally that can do the curved windows and I want to get to him before he ret...

JeremyD

My Front windows are in poor shape. Tried to use some scratch remover - even compounding. Probably better to just get new glass installed. So whats the procedure to remove these? it looks like they might have a little pin? https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thehulltruth.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/img_968...

JeremyD

Everything was pretty snug - so hopefully should not have leaks - The O rings are just a sealing surface so should not be a leak concern. Guess we shall see.

JeremyD

I did buy a variety of O rings from McMaster Carr - got way more than I need for $40.77 including shipping. Everything went back together pretty well. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thehulltruth.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/img_9553_bb472b961d87defc018fc640cfffb1b72d34b538.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/g...

JeremyD

I would assume the gear ratio is the culprit. On gas engines that can spool up to 5,000 rpm's most transmissions are set up with a 1:1 gear ratio With a diesel - You typically want a higher gear ratio - at 1:1.65 at 3900 rpms you are spinning the prop at 6435 RPMs - should be more than enough to get...

They do have nice lines

Thanks Shannon - I did buy the Oil tube kit from Seaboard -

Thanks Carl - I thought of that too - although questioned my ability to accurately measure.

the ZF part (that I could find anyway) Overhaul Gasket Seal Kit for Hurth ZF IRM 220 220a Replaces 3205199501 Alt322800

JeremyD

I know this is an old thread - I am just in the process of changing my oil tubes on my ZF 220A - they are a bitch. Does anybody that has changed also replace all the O-rings? I'd like to - but Seaboard is asking $383 for a rebuild pack of o-rings - that seems excessive. Sizes? just leave as is? Yeah...

JeremyD

I do like seeing all the tear down pictures and where things are placed. Appreciate you posting. I am going to attempt to tackle the interior of mine when the temperature cools a little

JeremyD

I have not seen the pilemate solution before - pretty interesting

JeremyD

If you are tying to a dock with two - yes you should be tight with little slack. Besides the spring lines - mine is fairly tight - I have some slack so I can get the lines off the cleats. Of course, hey might have stretched after this storm too.

JeremyD

Normal standard cleats - you can see a better shot from here https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thehulltruth.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/img_8816_9d47d693754949a6830925ad0dff9d1cff51c38d.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thehulltruth.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/img_2618_cf19503903c02a6135220c5fdd5e7b95c2b4...

JeremyD

Hurricane Helene gave us quite the storm surge

JeremyD

The boat looks great. Congrats on the purchase - hope it brings many smiles for many years

JeremyD

I'll also add that when you pull he engines - and have access - replace all the instrument senders - replace the thermostats - replace the belts and hoses. If the engines are running well - then that typically will help clear up the problems - if it doesn't then you at least know the senders are goo...

JeremyD

Here is another beauty that came available - similar money to "Buddy Boy" I can't imagine keeping up with the wood - but sure is pretty
https://www.boattrader.com/boat/1972-be ... er-9229178

JeremyD

my attention to detail sucks - but yes if you have a 38 - then I would definitely up the HP - Cummins QSB 550's would probably put a smile on your face.

JeremyD

I've seen the QSB's done with relative ease. Was watching a boat in the Mediterranean with John Deer 315's that looked like a solid package.

What do you have that you can get support for locally?

JeremyD

I plan on tackling the interior of my 31 at some point and saved a bunch of pictures of what they have done. Not a fan of the potty up front - but I d like some of the other ideas for the sink and refrigerator.

JeremyD

Nice car @amberjack Looks like a 1987 3.2 Carrera with 16x6 and 16x7 fuchs. I tracked a few Porsche's over the years and always told my friends that owning a boat makes Porsche ownership - even tracking a car seem reasonable. https://www.thehulltruth.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=230410&stc=1&d=13...

JeremyD

Something tells me that they won't be recovering the restoration cost... Although it would be nice if old Bertrams got the same treatment that old Ferrari's or Old Porsche's

JeremyD

Mine was loaded on a trailer with a crane - and was told it was right around 14000 lbs.

FBC - 330 Cummins - Next Generator - Hardt top etc, (I didn't have much fuel) 340 gallons of fuel is 7.1 lbs per gallon - so at 340 gallons you are at 2,414 for just fuel...

JeremyD

Funny, I also did a search for old wheels. I do not mind restoring a wheel for the aesthetic. Though not original - "Uncorked" does have an older boat vibe to everything that I have done to it. A vintage wheel would tie this in nicely https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thehulltruth.com-vbulletin/2000x...

JeremyD

Carl - I am in a similar situation so I will be watching a cheering from afar.

JeremyD

Just my experience - but PB Blaster works better for control cables (transmission and engine (teleflex style) controls) Kroil works better at breaking down corrosion on fastners.

JeremyD

Jason the permateak looks great - I was looking at doing the same on my interior -

is this the 36" or the 40" Taco seating - cause I am also looking at doing the same - dang you do great work.

JeremyD

Awesome Pete - great news - great results. The 330's move the boat along pretty well - can't imagine the 370's... Good for you
