I tried to register to see the pics, and.... they sent me a mail in that "I do not qualify their criteria" to become a registered member !
What did I do wrong?
Who do they think they are?

If your email address reflects you being in Greece (.gr at the end) they might consider you a potential spammer or something... Yes, it's stupid... Try registering using a google.com address... Or send them an email explaining that you're a boats aficionado... They might reconsider...

Nav, I have thirty other things to do instead, like to fix my exhaust pipes, redo my tillers, clean my filthy diesel tank, finish the inside ... and all this before the summer.
Luckily the reefer works as expected, yes, ice cubes from the sun !!

Yannis,
If I have to jump thru hoops... it's just not worth it.

For what it is worth I tried to look, saw a couple teaser pics then when I tried to get a closer look I was told I needed to join or give more info... Thanks but no thanks is my response as I exited the site.

Thank you Carl; its not so much about the "what " I can't see in the site, its the principle.
ps: I had to look up in wiki the name for the biggest lake in Florida, so as to satisfy their "human proof" !

Yannis, I choose awhile ago that I just don't care enough to spend that much time to join, be a guest, pass by, peruse thru... whatever.

Not sure about "The Principle". My take is they want to validate you are indeed a person and not a computer looking for a way to get in. Can't blame any site for that...who wants to be spammed, bombarded with selling links or whatever they do. Maybe requesting a Florida Specific question could limit non-Floridians access...but with Open Book questions, it would only turn away lazy people or those that really didn't care enough to go look up the answers.
My principle is " I can't be bothered"...at least not to look at a few pictures in a Florida specific site. I just can't be bothered filling out the join form, come up with another snappy password to try and remember, don't want more E cards for my birthday...I really just can't be bothered.

Moontide is on our site under listings. Price is $39,900. I've seen it at Blowing Rocks marina in Jupiter recently. Nice boat loking boat.

There's a different owner now, with no connection with the person who posted that boat on the B31 site.
Should be deleted from the website listings.

Should be deleted from the website listings.

It's gone....

Captain Patrick-- My express is still listed for sale on the site--from 2 owners ago. "1962 Express... located in New Jersey" (Black hull with a half tower) Can you delete it, as well?

Thanks, Jamie

Jamie,

Done deal...

For all the brethren who couldn't be bothered to subscribe to that site. I'm waiting for the electricians to show up. Can't work in the new warehouse because of an electrical issue. So I thought that after posting pics of a monstrosity Bertram I owed you some pics of a nice Bertram. Here are pics:

Are those all current listings?!...

Captain thank you.

Oh, that kiosk Bertram you mean ! With the 2 mercury o/b's that were unmatched too...

Very cool boat. Nice job>

The cover over the box's probably gets a lot of use on those blazing hot days.

Now that right there's a fishin' boat…..

Faithful,
I don't know if anyone looked that close but check out the hull number on the panel board. Hull 2086 or 2089 it does not look like any hull number I've ever seen. Can someone zoom in on that picture and see what the number is. It looks like they took a 20' number and put it on the panel board, maybe I am loosing it, but just some thing that caught my eye. Somebody did a lot of work on that boat. It looks like an older model open back sportfish, maybe from the 60's.

-2-Yanmar 6LPA STP2 315 hp diesels w/ 495 hours
-Kohler 6EOD 6kw Generator w/341 hrs.

Yes, however, the less said about that monstrosity the better...

It is 204. There is screw right there that makes it look like 2040.

Dang you've got good eyes, Tony.

Faithful,
Your eyes are a lot better than mine, I agree with the hull number 204 and the 1962 year as my boat is hull 186, you can also tell by the old style step up engine boxes. Still a nice looking machine. I'll have to stop by the marina and take a look the next time I go to West Palm.

Eyes are shot. I just blew it up as big as I could.
