From time to time I get an email requesting the vector files for use in producing t-shirts and such. With modern printing technology, these can often be created from vector based PDF files. Figured I would share the file so people don't have to track me down and wait for a reply. I have included two...

I saw in another post that it was a recent Minute Maid commercial

Unfortunately I have not been around the forums much lately. This may be old news. I just got back from seeing a movie at a local AMC theater and during the pre-show stuff they had a commercial which featured people swimming around and jumping off of a Bertram 31. I did not catch what the commercial...

I know I am late to this discussion but, I was stuck on a runway at Bush Int. for 7 hours on teh 10th of Devember in a 737 due to the snow and the lack of de-icing trucks. They only had 2 and one of them broke down. There are at least 40 planes scattered on the runway.

How far out did you go for them? I keep following the reports on JD's Big Game website, but he is mostly focused on Marlin.

I was playing around and created these. If you would like any of them feel free to copy them by right clicking on the image and then select "save as". Then just pick a place on your computer where you would like to save them to. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f342/Don-A-Vee/Bertram31/B31-001.jpg ...

I am not sure about that. I do nto know a thing about Autocad. I did this in Adobe Illustrator and then just exported it as a compatible autocad file.

I also have it in a dxf autocad file and can provide it in eps as vector artwork.

When swell is big and coming from the right direction it can get pretty fun on the south breakwall of Newport Harbor here in So Cal. Creates a huge wave that runs about 200-250 yards.

I was in Fiji 3 years ago for my honeymoon. It was the time of year when the surf is small there. We saw quite a few areas that were still breaking way off shore with just small 2-3 foot swells. One of our scuba guides also worked as a surf guide and he told me there were many places that break offs...

Cortez is very similar to Jaws in that the wave speed is so high when it gets big that it is not possible to paddle into. Plus they use weighted boards to help add stability and keep them on the water. They have paddled into Jaws on smaller days but when it gets bigger they tow. Here is a video of t...

I did a search of the older post and back in March there was a post that stated a boat yard had purchased the 31 Bahia Mar mold and had plans to produce them.

I think you would be able to build a mold from an existing boat. I have built molds for many things. For a boat this size it would be quite a project. Here is an interesting site on the subject: http://www.fiberlay.com/howto/issue1.htm There are easier ways to build molds of this scale though. Many ...

Thank you very much for your feedback. I am going to manage the repower of a few Bertram 31's and someone turned the owner onto the idea that they have done this on Blackfin's with great success.

I would hate to see something like this done on the classic hull of a B31.

best regards,

How about the short list to start with.

Know someone who wants to do this and would like to talk them out of it, or prove it not reasonable to do.

Anyone have any experience with outdrives on a Bertram 31?

Could a set of Bravo 3 drives be put on the back? Would there be any benefit or reason not to do it?

Does anyone have a contact email for Cabrera or Classic 31? Want to get some info on any products they offer.

Are they still in business?

Anyone have any experience with their products?

I found the highest priced boat to be pretty funny. The boat is in France but is named Old Glory with a Bald Eagle and American Flag painted on the stern.

In the ad for it they list it as a "Good Bargain". At $379k???

Hello Joe,

Your restore is going to be covered by Marlin Magazine right? I tried to contact Dave Ferrell to see about an update in the magazine. Do you know if they are still going to cover it in the magazine? Look forward to reading about it.

Good luck

A Hawaiian Captain of a fishing boat once gave me a recipe with a cracker/coconut breading for Mahi. Was the best I have had. Use very finely grated coconut (not like what is used on Coconut Shrimp). Fry them til golden brown and they are nice and sweet.
