Group buy is possible.

If any interest I would prefer to communicate through email or pm's.

The prices would be well below any advertised or online pricing.

Mark, I'm the GM for V-Line ind. We make quick access cases designed with Simplex mechanical locks, no batteries to go dead or finger prints that can't be read. Our cases are made 100% at our facility here in Simi Valley CA. We have 2 heavy duty units made out of 10 and 12 gauge steel and are very d...

I have the Good F850 with 300' rode and 30' of 5/16" chain. its been operational for 13 years and no issues. Operates from the console. Goes into freefall after letting out 10' of rode and locks when reversing the motor. Unit ships with rode and chain. I use the windlass alot and very happy with its...

Hi Kevin, Regarding the structural issue: This was my concern when I initially considered cutting the hump out. Tony Athens who did the repower 5 years ago insured to me it would not be a problem. To date and 15000+ nm later - no issues. We get some nasty seas here in the Santa Barbara channel and t...

Hi Kevin, I cut out the hump in the low section forward and just aft of the engine room for ward bulk head. I did this to make the bilge pumps more effective. There is a piece of wood inside the hump. Mine was wet and we waited about 4 weeks to dry it out before re-glassing. http://i251.photobucket....

Kevin,
Looks great installed. What are your plans for sealing on the main bulkhead side? I can't tell from the images, do you have a gutter on the backside or is it flush? Your making great progress.

Kevin,

That looks really great! Can't wait to see the installed version.

Hi Kevin, I toyed with this idea of a single hatch on my 28 when I repowered 5 years ago. Kind of wish I had moved forward with this idea. It looks like you are headed in the right direction. Gas shocks would a good choice and are affordable. If you call some of the gas piston manufacturers they can...

Gert,

I have followed the rebuild on the 31, and now this!! Great work and craftmanship.

Allan,

I highly recommend accepting Bill Fuller's invitation. His boat is the way a 28 should be and he can tell you what to look for when checking out an older Bertram.

Wayne,

Those are some big boys there. Looks like they're loading up on the squid.

I would have skipped court for that bite.

Wayne,

Nice brace of C-Bass. Glad to see you are still getting a few this late in your area.

We had a nice run on them up here in the Channel Islands this year.

Very tasty fish.

Kevin, I have the 22# Delta with 30' of 5/16"BBB chain and 1/2" rode. For the last 6 years it has been an excellent choice. It has hung up in rocks about three times but I have been able to get it out each time without loosing the ground tackle. Increasing your chain length will certainly improve th...

I Have a B28 with Merc 300 HP Horizons had simolar problems about 300 hours ago and it was the electronic modular unit in the distributor.

I hope this helps.
