Brevil, that's the name I was thinking. I just couldn't quite remember the name.

buzzk

could it be a Buel or Scotty Craft?

buzzk

I owned a Next Generation on my last boat. It never missed a beat.

buzzk

Jim, what marine charger would you recommend? I understand if you would rather not.

buzzk

Thanks Jim, I may still look for a new charger but I'll wait till the Lauderdale Boat Show. Usually they have some good buys at the show.

buzzk

If I decide to get a new charger which one should I get? Rawleigh, I see that you like the Xantrec. What are the differences?

buzzk

Guys I misspoke my neighbors and I actually had Orbital not Optimas. They look the same to me. When I needed the new batteries I had to go with Optimas. I was told that Orbital lost the patent to Optima in North America and were no longer available. After reading everyone saying I needed a new batte...

buzzk

I learned something new. I didn't know you needed special charger and I got 8 years out of my optimas. My neighbor got 9 years on the old style charger. I guess we're just lucky.

buzzk

Optima's do not need a special charger.

buzzk

John, I have two Optima group 31 hooked together per engine. I have Cummins 6 B's in my boat.

buzzk

when I said Optimal I should have said optima.

buzzk

I used to use 8D batteries but they got to heavy for me to move. I replaced the two 8D batteries with 4 group 31 Orbital batteries and they lasted 8 years. When it came time to replace the Orbital batteries they were no longer sold in the states. Apparently there was a patent issue between Orbital a...

buzzk

I owned a 25 FB for years and I always ran the boat from the bridge. Great little boats. Only when I was working on the engines did I ever use the lower station.

buzzk

Pete, I had been looking at condos in Stuart at both Windjammer and Circle Bay. The condos are about the same but Windjammer prices seem cheaper. Did your friend buy a condo in foreclosure? Thanks

buzzk

Looks like you had a good time. What were the barrels for, fuel?

buzzk

Broadus was going to take a 31 windshield with him to the NC get together this weekend. Did anyone see it?

buzzk

My last boat had a Next Gen 3.5 KW. It was great. Never had a problem. It was a little noisy but I didn't have a sound shield.

buzzk

I went over to Beaufort to look at the windshield. You're right it's going to be nice.

buzzk

Steve, I'm with you on the 41 Hatteras. As you said 13 Whaler, 41 Hatteras and 31 Bertram they made the name for some boat companies.

buzzk

There's a picture of a 31 on The Hull Truth with his windows. Do a search of Sea Hottie on The Hull Truth. I thought they looked good on that boat.

buzzk

Have you thought about shipping the boat south to Va. NC or SC where they don't have as much work and have the repairs done? Down here a lot of people don't have their boats worked on till spring. There's usually a lot of qualified people and small yards around here, that are out looking for work th...

buzzk

They caught two guys around here after they stole 2 miles of copper wire from the electric lines here a couple of weeks ago. One of the guys was an electrican.

buzzk

I'm looking at a Bertram 20 Bahia Mar with a questionable trailer. Could a rollback wrecker haul the boat and trailer? What would be the best way to get the boat from up north down to NC? What is the going rate for hauling something like this? Thanks Buzz

buzzk

I saw a 20 moppie for sale on Charleston, SC craigslist for 2500.

buzzk

That's a pretty boat. But I haven't seen any for sale.

buzzk

I don't believe I've ever seen a 24. But I'll start looking. Right now I'm thinking a 20 Bahia Mar is what I need. Thanks Buzz

buzzk

The good thing about a 20 would be the ease of trailering it. If I bought a 25 or 26 I probably wouldn't trailer it. I would just run it back and forth from Florida. Thanks Buzz

buzzk

I used to own a 25 FBSF and it rode really well. If the ride on a 20 is anything near as good as a 25 that would be great. Most of the Bertram 20's that I've looked at have a 40-50 gallon fuel tank. Will that run a 20 all day? What's the range on a 20 Bertram with a 40 gallon tank? Thanks Buzz

buzzk

I'm looking for a 20 Bhia Mar that's been restored, let someone else take the hit. What I'm hearing the 20 would be OK to use around the Stuart area for Sailfishing with me and my wife. I've seen some 20's with a self bailing deck and some that didn't have the plugs. What's the deal with that? Thank...

buzzk

I know comparing the 26 to the 20 is a big difference. It's like apples and oranges. I'm looking for something I could leave in Stuart Florida and fish off the beach as well as use up here in NC in the sound during the summer. I want something I can use by myself. I'm just not sure that the 20 would...

buzzk

I'm thinking about buying a 20 Bertram Bahia Mar with outdrives. I'm not a fan of outdrives. I'm also looking at a 26 Bertram with inboards and one with outboards what's everyone's thoughts. I'm thinking a 26 with outboards is probably the best choice. I presently own a 33 Bertram with diesels but w...

buzzk

Right now the forum part is down but before it went down I couldn't register. What do I need to do? IThanks Buzz

buzzk

I'm looking at condos at Circle Bay and at Windjammer. I don't think they even let you leave your boats there during a hurricane.

buzzk

For you Florida guys. I'm thinking about buying a condo in the Stuart area. I would be leaving my Bertram 33 there year around. Can you hire someone to pick your boat up take it to a yard and have it hauled and blocked without me being there when a hurricane threatens? How much does it cost and how ...

buzzk

How many MPG does a 31 Bahia Mar with the 240 Yanmars or 250 Cummins get? Is the 170 Yanmars enough power for a 31 Bahia Mar?

buzzk

Broadus Rose makes a nice one piece fiberglass replacement window frame. He sold a lot of them to 31 guys. His number is 252 723 2222. I think is web site is boatwindowframes.com.

buzzk

Try Charter Lakes they were the cheapest that I could find for my 33.

buzzk

Russ, thanks I get it now.

buzzk

Capt. Patrick, Did you use a three way valve along with the seacock or did you just put a tee in the line with the seacock?

buzzk

How do you rset them back to zero?

buzzk

Broadus can make the fiberglass windscreens. But I haven't heard what the price is.

buzzk

Broadus telephone number is 252 723 2222.

buzzk

I'm not sure this is what you're looking for but Broadus Rose with boatwindowframes.com makes one piece fiberglass window frames for Bertrams. He was showing them at the NC Bertram 31 Renezvous.

buzzk

It was a great rendzvous. The weather was perfect. Thanks to all the hosts and people that put it together.

buzzk

Could you do it at the dock by running up the engines or does the boat need to be underway?

buzzk

How much oil does the ZF gear hold? Thanks

buzzk

Broadus owns a yard in the Jarrett Bay Marine Industrial Park in Beaufort, NC. Give him a call 252 723 2222.

buzzk

Broadus is making the curved windows for 31 Bertrams now. I saw a 31 on trailer at his yard last week. He told me that he was making the curved windows frames out of fiberglass and I beleive he said that he was making the entire front window frame out of fiberglass too. The owner wanted to keep the ...

buzzk

No question about it those framesless window frames look great. I like them. The problem for a lot of people including myself is even if I bought the parts from Captain Patrick I don't have the skills to do the fiberglass and painting myself. I can buy the windows from Broadus, take out the old fram...

buzzk

When Broadus made his molds for the 31 Bertram he used the old frames to make his mold. When I was looking at his windows he made the comment to me that there was about a one inch difference between the port and starboard windows. My 33 Bertram doesn't need frames but when the time comes I'm going t...
