Phil, she looks great, good job. The thing about the B31s is no matter how many of them you see, they all knock your eyes out. The lines and proportions are just classic, from any angle.

How about it Thudd, ready to throw in the towel?

Congradulations it's beautiful. I really like the black bottom following the chine line + black boot stripe. Really gives the boat a classic Bertram look.

It's good to see another nice Bertram in the Gulf, we can't let all our Northeastern buddies have all the fun.

Good luck with the Sea Trials.

Looks Great - post a picture of your bridge ladder so I can see how you fabricated it. Are you fishing in the Deep Sea Roundup ?

Congratulations

VERY NICE> I'm so jealous I could just s#*t!
We pulled Dreamsicle back out and will start the final process of getting her running. Hope to be right behind you.
Congrats!

Phil,

Congrats, She looks great! If what you're saying about being low on WOT rpms is that you can't turn up fully, you are way over propped and need to address that immediately... On the 6LPs, you need to be able to get at least 3,900 rpms at full throttle.
