Finally, I remembered to bring in and then find some time to scan all the 31 info my wife and I have gathered thru the years. Here is a page from one brochure.

I'd post it all, but at 1o.5 megs, I don't think Capt Pat would like it. Not to mention it takes me way to long to upload, sort and link.

So if anyone wants it I'll send it all over to you in a Zip file, about 7.5 megs. Just send me your email address and off it will go.

If you can't accept Zip, or large files we can figure something out, or maybe someone can set up a link.

what year is this from ? no Bahia ? and two open skiff versions, is one maybe a 25 ?

I'm not sure of the year, but the pictures in this brochure look to be real early in production, as my 1962 Exresss looks less dated.

I'm thinking it is a 25 & 31 Sportcruiser (open Skiff, Runabout ) shown in the picture.

No Bahia Mar shown in the brochure, did they make the first year?

Sim,
Looking at the bow strake placement, I'd say the picture looks like 1963 year boats.

Please send to hbminton@msn.com thanks

I'd love to see the info as well!

I had a couple of interesting experiences last week while out on a week long cruise. One I think is very much worth shareing in the age of electronics. Whenever I go anywhere outside of Narraganset Bay (my home area) I always plot a paper course as a back up, and keep the paper chart on the bridge with me. Never thought I would need it, but just recently it came in very handy. Was traveling up Buzzards Bay from Pocasset to Newport to beat out the swells from Bill. Around the New Bedford/Fairhaven region, I hit an absolute wall of fog. Less that a 1/10 th mile vis. No problem radar GPS...I know where I am...and what's around me, didin't even slow down ( I only go 16 knots at cruise anyway). Commented to the wife ...isn't this great, we know exactly where we are...electronics are great. I would say roughly 1/2 hour later, somewhere off Westport.....GPS went poof....off, no screen, nada. Fortunately, I had everything on paper. Pulled out my plots, and ran from my approximate position using a compass course and a watch....time honored STD approach. Anyone coming in to Newport knows an early swing coming from Buzzards Bay will get you on to Brenton Reef. Any way, ran my course for the allottted time. Turned the radar range up, and saw I was just about square with the opening to the bay, turned in...and made it in to Newport with just about zero vis and no GPS. My point.....this would not have been so seamless had i not had the paper back up in arms reach. Any way, I thought we all might a reminder that the the electronics do go down once in a while, and at the worst time.

My other intersting experince....coming out of Cape Cod canel with the tide and against the wind (about 6-8 foot zero period almost standing waves)......Burried ol' Berty deep...surprised I didn't blow out my windshields. Now I am starting to see why everyone glasses these over.....its not just for looks. Bob....I reading you now loud and clear on the structual improvement.

Sorry...the above was supposed to be a new thread......

Corrected

Walter- Not the least bit sorry.

If you can't do a little something nice for your friends, why bother having them...

Carl

Carl,
Many thanks for the stuff. What a hoot.

Please!!!

rawleigh@kaballero.com

Very cool.

Could you please send to bayridgelabradors@comcast.net ?

Many thanks!!

Up to this point everyone that requested it should have.

If not please let me know and I'll resend.

Files are .zipx, but I have in .zip format as well, if your not compatible with the new version. I can also send broken up into smaller packets as some systems did not allow larger file transfers. Whatever the case , let me know if you had an issue or just didn't receive.
Carl

Please , Me too.

zerocavity@hotmail.com

And me too, please. Thanks

gmelvin@windstream.net

Carl,

I was unable to open the zipx files.

Would it be too much trouble to send the .zip or simply the files uncompressed?

Thanks!

Ian.

I couldn't open either, sorry.

Me too, thanks!! mhiggins36@comcast.net

You probably don't have Winzip on your computer......you can download a Winzip and then unzip the files......I had the same problem

You can get a trial version that will quit working after a month or so

Thanks Carl! I finally was able to open them.

I never really noticed that they refered to these hull as "V" as in V31 and V24.

Pretty cool brochures.

Thanks again!

Ian.
