Hot Damn! I am really liking all the Fighting Lady yellow hulls I'm seeing. She is just beautiful. Let us know how she runs! So, so pretty.

Boat looks great, but it looks like she could use bigger rudders.

73 Sportfish with 3/4" coosaboard bulkhead, cabin sole/ head, 16k a/c, ( Fla ya know), small rudders yeah I know, when I had my 28 it had the little rudders and I whined alot then realized one wasn't even attached?? so 2 were just fine. Actually thats in the next deal, just had to get her in the water.:-))

Very nice! I liked John C's as well. The fiberglass has the classic lines but has been cleaned up so much. When I see my boat I see a lot of things I wish I had done but just did not have experience or money to attempt. Great work guys.

First class, Bill. You are one of the few, the proud, the Bertram 31 Stewards. Some call us arrogant, some call us mean, but we are all that for a reason......we own and use the BEST BOATS EVER BUILT.

Charlie J · Post by **Charlie J** » May 1st, '08, 08:11

another master piece, at this rate these boats should be around for at lease 100 years

Mikey · Post by **Mikey** » May 1st, '08, 09:42

Knock me out! Eleven months? You must have had an army of guys working.
Great treatment on the transom. She looks damned contemporary for a forty-year-old boat. But that's what we all knew from the start, huh?
Now, go fishing!

jspiezio · Post by **jspiezio** » May 1st, '08, 15:12

Bill- at first I thought this might be your beauty. But there are subtle, and not so subtle differences.

Craig Mac · Post by **Craig Mac** » May 1st, '08, 15:35

Is that Jim Ray's work?

Have you repowered?

Bruce · Post by **Bruce** » May 1st, '08, 15:58

You still got gassers in that boat? Wheels look small.

CaptPatrick · Post by **CaptPatrick** » May 1st, '08, 16:19

Looks kile Carl's work to me...

Jim Ray really does some beautiful work. He re-did my dad's Blackfin a several years ago and she still is beautiful.

Bruce, Gassers are still in the boat, they run fine , need 40K for 330 cummins, run these for a while. The tank was replaced 1/4 alum epoxied sitting on neoprene gasket strips, already plumbed with returns for 2 and a genset, exhaust moved outboard and 5 inches, hope thats enough. The boat was done at A&J in Port Salerno, they have a rough express waiting for another knuckelhead to jump in. Bill

That's Rolands 67 S.F., and your right Capt. Pat, it's Carl @ Elite doing the work.

Scott- is she named SuperMex? I think that was the name. Something like that.

Tony Meola · Post by **Tony Meola** » May 1st, '08, 21:25

5 inches might be close for the 330 cummins. The 5 should work for the 270's but those woul have to be one of the remans Cummins sells.

In Memory Walter K · Post by **In Memory Walter K** » May 1st, '08, 21:56

Roland's boat is Supermex. Walter
