Does anyone have an idea of what a Glass tech deck with the passageway between the engines sells for these days? I might have a line on an unused one.

I bought one 2 years ago deck, engine boxes and wings. I picked it up 7K.

It was supposed to be all composite no plywood.

Well when I trimmed the wings I hit plywood. When I predrilled the deck flanges from underneath so there would be no deck hold down screws showing from the top, I got ply shavings on the drill bit.

Lying sacks of crap.

if you are buying just the deck and the passageway and you plan on using your existing engine boxes you will require EXTENSIVE fiberglass work to that passage way to work.

I also feel it was designed around diesel motors because it does not fit in any dimension whatsoever on a gas powered 31.

we cut one in 8 pieces and chopped and diced it in everyway to fit into a gas 31.

im about to sit down and watch some tv when I remember the other issue with the passage way insert- it did not fit in the boat we were trying for and aft either, almost like the bulkhead was in the wrong spot for the passage way insert, Bertram must have varied the engine compartment bulkhead or the cabin bulkhead placement ever so slightly

That boat looks good though.

the other issue is the wiring, you will either have to move all the wiring that runs along the bulkhead or do what we did and glass a wire run in, we rounded it off on both sides to give plenty of room for wiring and hoses.

these are the only pictures I have of the finished product
