Very Nice.

How much reinforcement had to go into the base of the bridge where the outriggers mount?

Wow...sure is a pretty boat!!

All said and done I'm sure a new boat could have been bought...but what "NEW" boat would look like that, run like that, hold up like a 31 Bertram.

If I saw that at a boat show...I'd be on line for a tour.

Xcellent work Capt Pat.

Those aft windows are huge. Is it set up so the glass is viewable all the way down to the engine boxes from the interior out or is there dummy space at the bottom?

Tommy · Post by **Tommy** » Sep 7th, '11, 19:40

Capt. Frank nailed it.....Patrick is a true craftsman! I know the owner is ecstatic with the final product.

ianupton · Post by **ianupton** » Sep 7th, '11, 20:55

Stunning! Simply Stunning!

Very similiar color schem that I am thinking about for my B20 Bahia.

Any chance you know the actual paint colors?

I was looking a Baffin blue for hull sides, darker blue chine stripe and oyster white deck.

Might need to change to a brighter white after seeing this!

Capt Patrick,
Another beauty you haven't lost your touch even in the Texas heat. People don't realize how much work goes into a restoration and all done by a single craftsman. When I was at the Miami Show on Friday night the old Buddy Boy was drawing more attention than the 60'&70' new stuff. People kept asking me who did the restoration, how many people it took and what did it cost to do it.
I told them Capt Patrick, by himself and around 10 times what the original boat sold for when it was new.
Congrats on another one Captain, who's next in line? or have you finally had enough fun restoring 31's.
Pete

Boy I sure wish you would do one more and I sure wish I had the money for it to be mine. Truel a work of art.

Bob H. · Post by **Bob H.** » Sep 8th, '11, 18:15

Capt Pat sure knows how to make a LOOKER, keep it simple n sweet, not overdone just done right, from start to finish... I have an idea what it takes to make such a ride..the boats youve poured your heart into are alot like this sandbox..bigger than life..well done Capt Pat...BH

Capt. Pat You did good. The talent and patience to do work like that is a gift. Keep it up

Man Capt. he really ruined all your work with that top and riggers......LOL

jprobins · Post by **jprobins** » May 10th, '14, 22:46

Beautiful Bert, Capt. We were actually admiring this boat at the KA Marina today. We are getting ready to do a full paint job on our 26. I was wondering if you would share who did your paint work on Rattle and Hum. Whoever they are they did a really superb job.

Joseph Fikentscher · Post by **Joseph Fikentscher** » May 11th, '14, 07:12

Wow!! That's a Masterpiece!

IRGuy · Post by **IRGuy** » May 11th, '14, 15:00

Beautiful!!

I started reading the string from the beginning and was taken up short whan I read Uncle Vic's post.. then I saw the string was staarted in 2011. I miss his straight from the shoulder comments!

RIP UV!

Dug · Post by **Dug** » May 12th, '14, 09:06

I had the same reaction exactly.

bob lico · Post by **bob lico** » May 12th, '14, 19:00

I am with JP you. Can paint the boat pink with yellow polka dots or any thing else that favors your ass but never,never mount any thing on the rounded upper structure above the brim of a 31 fbc .that is the gull wings on a 50 era SL MB or the radiator of a rolls royce,split window 1963 corvette.get the picture!!

Craig G · Post by **Craig G** » May 13th, '14, 08:09

Wow, that is a beauty alright. We'll done!
