Bill,
The inside of that tank looked very close to the same as the inside of mine and I don't ever recall putting gas in it that had ethanol. I feel much better with the new one in and secure.

Nice clean installation. It won't take long to get anywhere at 32kts. Congradulations.

Want to say thats to all the guys on here esp. Capt Pat. After years of watching all the information here and all the good tips made the process a whole lot easier. And the extra speed is a bonus since it is a forty mile plus run to the good water here. Looking forward to getting the boat back on the tournament circuit. Anthony Black and is staff at Rockville Marine were great to work with ( He also did the repower on Old School). Any one comes this way will be happy to take them for a ride.

Thanks

Nice job. She sure looks great running.

Very nice - clean install - great looking boat - and she looks like she is riding higher too - I'm guessing those engines are quite a bit lighter. very very nice.

It never fails to amaze me how flat the wake is on a Bertram running at true planing speeds. My 33 is the same way once its over 20 knots. Thank god for diesels.

do you intend to put any kind of tower on her?radar arch with soft top or enclosure with hardtop?

Bill Mckinnon · Post by **Bill Mckinnon** » May 2nd, '09, 06:14

I have a soft top for in and is already back on. Just have to clean up and a little touch up painting to do. Will keep all of you posted
