Sorry, one more thing- the online request form on his site is apparently not working. Best just to give him a call or stop by the boat- it's in the harbor right behind Wahoo's restaurant.

Not sure if this video will work but I'll give it a try- I think you have to click it to get it to play

Yes, Takedown Charters out of Whale Harbor Marina. 40' Cabo express owned and operated by my good friend Greg. We've fished with him twice (both times in Feb): https://www.takedowncharters.com/ You will not be disappointed! https://i.imgur.com/9DMdbD7l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/cwzl7avl.jpg http://i.i...

They are amazing. It looks like they are frameless. How do they have them set in the boat? I'm not sure how they're attached to the boat; they are frameless on the exterior. They built an entirely new support structure for the bridge; there's a support in the center of the windshield and then on su...

I saw the boat this weekend. Bumped into Dug in the cabin- small world of 31' crazies running around out here, I tell ya... I saw an ad in Soundings that showed a vague shot of the windows/windshield; as soon as I found out it was going to be in Newport I made plans to see it in person, as the old a...

Looks great man. I've loved following this thread- you're building such a weapon. Awesome to see photos of her in the water.

Nicely done!!

moguls2go

That makes sense. How big is the piece of plywood underneath?

For those of you targeting larger fish, what have you done in terms of gunwale modification/reinforcement? I stuck a few bent butt rods into our existing rod holders and am a little freaked out by how much the gunwale is flexing when I push on the rod. The amount of pressure a fish applies is going ...

moguls2go

Awesome, thanks guys!

Hey fellas- Over the past few years I've been installing 2 shaft zincs per side in the spring and am lucky to have them all by the fall. Not because they're worn out... because they somehow fall off. How am I screwing up this installation that seems so simple? I tighten the 4 allen screws as evenly ...

No sweat- good luck with the project!

saburke, have you purchased this yet? I may be interested in jumping in and splitting shipping.

Yannis, yes the black thing in the cockpit is a grill. I don't like the way it looks, but it's inconvenient to take it on and off the boat every time we're going to use it, so it just stays there.

Hey Tony, I'm running the drone and my wife is driving the boat. I didn't look, but I think we were only doing 15-16 kts; there are lobster pots everywhere in this area and the light made it hard to pick them out. I wish I'd be flying the drone earlier in the evening- we were moving a bit faster and...

Hey Guys-

Anyone have a good method for cleaning underneath your engines? It's a very awkward angle to get any leverage for scrubbing. We've had a few leaks and I'd love to get things as clean as possible in order to spot new problems more easily as they come up.

moguls2go

Bob, I saw your boat on Sunday. We’ve never met but I knew the listing and, when I saw her on Sunday from our own 31’, I thought I recognized her. It’s nice to have another 31’ in town- we keep our boat not far from where yours is moored. Hopefully I’ll meet the new owner. A sad day, I’m sure, but f...

guys- I noticed a fair amount of water entering the boat near one of our rudder posts last season, which only happens while underway. At the dock everything is dry. I assume this is a rudder stuffing box in need of repacking, but figured I'd ask for opinions in case others have had a similar issue a...

With the corrosion-X, do you just spray everything down straight from the can, or do you put it on a rag and rub it over the engine?

moguls2go

Hi Guys, Now that our kids are a touch older and we're no longer drinking from a firehose at home I decided to winterize our 31 myself rather than have a yard do it. Maybe it's always like this, even after doing it year after year, but I keep thinking about what I missed. We have Yanmar 6LP power an...

Charlie, I used the plastic tube down the dipstick tube.

Hi- I changed the oil yesterday for the first time and have to wonder if there's a more efficient way to do this than what I did outside of plumbing an oil change system into the boat. I used a DC pump that must've taken 2 hrs to pull ~3g of oil out of the dipstick tube. I ran the second engine up t...

Love the photos Yannis. If these are the meals you're preparing in the galley of a 28 Bertram I can only imagine what you're capable of at home. Wow!

moguls2go

Thanks guys- it was a great season. 3 weeks left before we haul- sadly I think they'll be almost entirely consumed with waxing, cleaning, and winterization. Damn winter.

Hi Guys, Here are several pictures from our season thus far. Multiple trips to Maine and Mass (from Portsmouth, NH) captured here, along with lots of pictures of kids getting fishy & salty: Mount Desert Island: https://i.imgur.com/GkZfp5Hl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RDJVe7Tl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xkd...

I don't know the boat but live near by. Is this a boat you're looking for a first hand account of? I'd be happy to take a look- let me know.

Chris, in my experience tabs don't have much effect on speed in our boats. I like having tabs (this is controversial, I know...) so that I can balance the load when folks pile to one side, but I haven't seen any effect on speed. Yesterday, for example, we ran into a small chop at ~19-22 knts and I f...

Looking good; continuing to grow. As of a few weeks ago we had 2x 42' sportfish, 1x 42' MY, 2x 33' sportfish, 1x 31 BM, and 1x 31 FBC. I expect (and hope) more to confirm now that it's starting to look and feel like summer but, as of May 30 this is where things stand.

Hi B31 Crew: Some of you likely saw the note this week, but for those who didn't...

There are events in North Carolina, New England, Long Island, Annapolis, Long ...

Wow!! That's incredible!

Hi Crew-

Any idea what happened to Zero Cavity? I saw a random post on Instagram recently with the boat on a trailer looking; she was looking rough. I never saw the boat in person but always admired many of the design choices- just curious what her status is.

I've always considered the superstructure of our hardtop a sufficient radar target; thoughts?

Mike, are you talking inside the cabin... above the head liner? Inside the flybridge cavity?

Thanks guys. Most of the affordable options seem to be down toward Marathon....

Correction: call to make a reservation (617.242.2020) rather than using Dockwa. They've offered a discounted rate ($2.50/ft under 50') and have an easier time applying that rate via phone.

Howdy - My wife and kids are planning a trip to Islamorada in March and were kind enough to include me in their plans. We're looking for a center console for 2-4 days and, rather than go through the "front door" of one of the rental places down there, I thought I'd see if anyone is familiar with oth...

Sell her; in the end it'll cost you less and, more importantly, cause you less heartache if you know she's being used as intended rather than sitting idle. If you have time or, in lieu of that, a good broker you can make sure she goes to the right owner. When we bought our boat it was as much an int...

I found a plate on our boat that reads "This motor designed & built by Capt. Tom Genise for the "Gotcha" 1984". Does this ring a bell with anyone?

moguls2go

What prop size is appropriate for the aforementioned setup? A friend is in the midst of a repower and asked for some advice.

Thanks, Tommy.

We have the 315 6LP yanmars.

Thanks for the compliments on the photos, guys. Doug, yes- I have a DJI Mavic Pro, which I bought for myself last winter. It's an incredible little (and I do mean little!) piece of technology. It's capable of 40mph and has a 4.2 mile range. I've never flown it that far- you really need to be careful...

Hi Steve- thanks for your note. Losing a dog is the hardest part about loving them! He was able to get back onto the platform with just a little bit of help: he'd swim over and I could grab his collar and lightly lift so that his front paws were up, then I'd scoop him by his ribs or right in front o...

Fantastic story, thank you for sharing. Here I am feeling good about 3 nights in a row on our 31' (with a 3 & 5 year old, but still!) and you come along and totally raise the bar. Awesome!!!

Hey fellas- here are some of my favorite pictures from our summer. I'm not ready to concede that it's over.... so these are the favorites "so far". We took a few trips to Maine, went to Ptown for the rendezvous, spent some time in Rockport and Gloucester, and many days here locally in NH. Our dog pa...
