Here is the post but with pictures. In getting prepared for fishing season Paul Buske and I stripped the line off of 10 Shimano 50 LRS reels and respooled the braid that was on the reels. The only corrosion we found was next to the little stainless steel pin that is issued to stop the line from spin...

Cecile - have you looked at Kobelt engine controls? They appear well made - same principle as the morse/teleflex, but perhaps better service. I live within 3 miles of Teleflex, in Limerick PA...i've heard their service leaves something to be desired...but if you think having someone show up at thei...

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Truly impressed with the quality of the work

auguste

Just got an e-mail from Jim Conway at Morse

This is the set-up I need but disregard the picture of the controls

i have a step stool with grip feet that i use when women enter the boat . that same stool goes against trasom panel and you push against when fighting fish. now you can use entire lenth of trasom for bottom fish,stripe bass and stand up because there is nothing in your way both in back of you in th...

auguste

vince you can go for a slight variation and that is chair with no foot rest .plenty of room all around chair that way . we even fight fish in space between chair and trasom like the chair is not there. When you went to this configuation did you have to lower the chair so that you could have your fe...

Thanks again :)

do you have the shifters ?? No I do not have the shifters yet I am not "married" to the MT-3s but I do want something very similar Auguste... I recently bought a used Morse MT-3 shifter and needed some info on installation, plus the neutral safety switch was damaged in shipping so I needed to order...

auguste

I need tech info on the Morse Mt-3 Twin (308602) engine controls which I want to install at the helm and in the cockpit I picked this style because it fits with the boat's age (built in 1963) and I can control both engines with one hand I called Morse twice and they said they would e-mail me the par...

Canada and the United States have the best Coast Guards, bar none. During storms and emergencies they are they to help us. Canada and the United States' men and women of the Coast Guard train and work together in bordering waters, and they back-up each other in times of emergency. May God bless and ...

Power Yacht was kind enough to send me this picture of an 38 footer like mine that he saw in Malta . . . there were only 13 made http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/Auguste_album/bertram38forGus.jpg While I do not like what the owner did to the aft bulkhead of the salon, we all have different t...

The seven virgins are part of a very old tale on what you should do when you rename a boat . . . nothing more . . . nothing less

auguste

Auguste, Looks like a Nunn and Son name is that correct? If so you got the best. He's done all our boats How did your Captain work out? Yup, J Nunn did the sign . . . nice guy and very meticulous about his work Ed who helped me bring the boat south is a long time friend. He helped me as a friend, I...

auguste

bob lico . . . I agree, these days finding 7 virgins is no easy trick

sim . . . only if the bottle was empty, and would only break it against the anchor :)

auguste

Harv I asked my wife permission to name the boat after her . . . that is all the denaming and renaming ceremony I had . . . well a couple / few beers added a bit of fun to the process :-D :-D :-D coolair Thanks for the compliment . . . just waiting on the weather to get her home :-D

auguste

Best wishes for a speedy recovery

Oh, nice fish :)

auguste

I have been following your story closely and I am very glad that you were able to sell your boat.

I echo the others in saying that your work on that boat was incredible

auguste

Thank you for all of the compliments

I will post pics and story of the next leg of the trip to NC . . . once the weather decides to cooperate

Auguste: Have you heard of this B38 ? http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/bertram-yacht/9515-richard-bertrams-bertram.html FYI there's one here too in Nassau,Bahamas that is pretty much a stock boat still and has been in charter fishing forever.......... Thanks for the link . Will do a search on the ...

Took possession of the boat last Thursday and provisioned it Friday. Plan was to get to OBX Sunday evening. Left Saturday morning and didn't get 2 miles when we wrapped a rope around the prop. Had to go back and get the boat pulled. I cut the rope, 3/4 poly. Luckly no damage. By noon we were back on...

auguste

Thanks everyone

Figured out how to post a picture

More to come when I pick up the boat

auguste

dougl33 Thanks. I have (officially) been looking (with money in bank) for a boat that fits both my fishing needs and within my budget for about a year and a half. Only waiting for the engine survey to be completed by a Cat specialist . . . but they run like a charm (I am an old diesel mechanic). Th...

I am not an very knowledgeable about the evolution of Bertram hulls but Ed Riverio (previous Bertram owner) and CB Hawes (current Bertram owner) out of NJ have been helping me along. The 38 (1963 version) is essentially a 31 hull but 7 ft longer and with a 14 ft 6 in wide beam . . . only 13 were bui...
