Well the plot thickens...Here is a reply I got from the USCG Historian..
Mr. Wilson,
We do not have histories on individual boats. The 31-foot Port Security Boats were built by Bertram and the CG Yard. I am in the midst of building pages on small boats and have not done one for the 31-footer. It will be done soon and you can find it at
http://www.uscg.mil/history/boats/SmallBoatIndex.asp once it is completed and posted. It should be done soon.
As I said it won't have any information on individual boats but will address the class and provide specs. If there are any line drawings, those will be included as well. If you want plans, however, you are going to have to contact the CG Yard or the National Archives.

So It IS a BERTRAM and it IS 31 foot, just NOT the "Bertram 31" of Fame and Fortune.
