Nice article in Power and Motoryacht about a beautiful job done on Vendetta, which was Billy Joel's boat. Work was completed by Newport Harbor Shipyard.

They might be a turnkey option?

A friend of mine put a bladder on his Viking to extend range and had a pump integrated. It worked beautifully. He would lay it out in the cockpit, fill it up and then when we got where we were going, he transferred the fuel, rolled it up and put it away. It was remarkably easy and 100% effective. I ...

Sadly I’m not going to make it. I love a good ride but I don’t like breaking stuff... I’m really bummed and will miss seeing everyone. I just think its the smart decision. I’ve made plenty of dumb decisions in my life. Why add to the list purposefully!!!

Dug

Very cool!!!

Dug

So sorry Vince!!! Don’t be a stranger though!!! And I hope your health returns!!!

Dug

Plexus is great stuff!

Dug

I’m so sorry to hear this. Terry was a wonderful guy. I’ll miss him for sure!

Dug

Pete, give me a call... 617-592-4834.

I’m paranoid. I need to change my fuel filter elements on my Racor 500’s and am curious what micron everyone is using. I will confirm what I have currently when I open them up but ideally I would like to have the replacement elements on hand at that point. I don’t remember!!!!! Argh! CRS disease is ...

I put the base model on Alchemy a couple years ago. It is very, very helpful at night and low vis situations. I can confirm you can see through a hull and register heat signatures in the right conditions, and that implants give off a different heat signature...

Dug

I can also bring Tree House. Shoot me a message, with your phone #, and we can get it set up!! I'd love to see the boat!!!

Dug

Yep, thats me. And apparently I’m the one missing a brain!!!! Jeepers!!!

Anytime you want to get together for a beer, let me know! I’ll buy.

Worcester by day and Shrews by night. Not far at all!

Dug

Carl,

Awesome!!!

Dug

KTM, I see you live in Central, MA. Where? I'm in the same area? Shrewsbury to be specific.

Dug

Dug

Bob, im sorry you are selling!!!!!!

Dug

JJ, Good to hear from you again. I know of two Express models up here in NE that are MINT. One is Charisma out of Westerly, RI owned by Stanton Terranova and the other is in Mystic. Yellow hull owned by my buddy Willy Castle. Both are mint. Both are on yachtworld. I know Charisma is a true specimen....

Marks blue Baron is a boat to behold. Simply put beautiful.

Dug

I had docking lights. When they worked they were cool. But the Morse lights that were cast aluminum died, the housings cracked and the plastic ones i replaced them with just never worked either. And then i blew one out on a bad run one from the canyon and that was it. When Alchemy got beautified, th...

Dug

Pete,

I am thrilled to hear that you think it is a success. That is fantastic.

Yep, I hear it is not perfect, but a HUGE step in the right direction!

Be well my friend.

Dug

Dug

Carl, yup.

And Tony, probably true.

Dug

Well, many of us will get to see first hand how it is working come this August. I am guessing UV would not approve. But I am looking forward to seeing for myself!

Dug

Dug

Tommy,

I spent some time on her. It is Gif’s old boat that was damaged in shipping. They did a LOT of work to her, but I personally have my doubts as to whether they will get that kind of coin for her.

They keep trying though.

Dug

Dug

Yannis,

I don’t know the rpm, but I do know for sure you know when it kicks in. Its not secretive at all.

Dug

Dug

I say book reservations at TSL with the group in August!!!!

Dug

Thank the good lord!!!! That is some of the best news I have read here in a long time!!!! Certainly since I read Carl bought a set of diesels!!!!

Great news Pete!!! Just awesome!!!

Last year (read a year ago this past summer!) when we rendezvous’ed on the back of Shelter Island a friend came out on his Yellowfin. He is re-doing a 31 and came to see our creativity and to be inspired, and to sell his wife on the idea. She was sold! As part of his re-do he is changing the engines...

Dug

Marlin, that is not good. But good luck with the 70 Spencer!!! Sounds like a heck of an alternative ride and I like the engine package!

Dug

Dug

Cam,

Where is it and how much? This just comes up blank on my marketplace screen.

Thanks!

Dug

Mike, We are in. Looking to drop the deposit on them this coming week. I’m thinking of getting a set of custom spin casting rods made for my brother and father to commemorate this trip, have them sent down prior to arrival to suprise them and be used for a non-marlin day. We’ll see. I’m pretty excit...

Carl,

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I am so completely excited for you!!!!!!

Pete my friend,

I wish you luck and quick healing.

Kipp, I highly recommend Boat US. They have insured Alchemy since I purchased her and they are great. They also pay 50% of any haul for a named storm which can give you a solid sense of calm at a stressful time if you are able to get your boat out. They will also insure agreed upon value provided th...

Dug

Really too bad in my mind. The boat looked somewhat rough, as sitting in one spot, in the water or not for 7 years is a BAD thing.

Kinda cool everyone remembers!!!!

Dug

When I read about a boat named Geaux Deep I know I have been here a while... Anyone remember her and her story? She turned up on a group on Fbook and the guy is looking to sell the Yanmar 230 hp 4 cyl engines. I think he is looking for $14,000 for the set give or take. The group is called Sportfishi...

Awesome!!!!!

Pretty cool boat!

Cam,

Beautiful!!!!! So cool!!!!

Sure as heck am!!!!! With my Dad and brother!!!! Can't wait!!!

Hi all! There was a well subscribed effort to put together a trip to Tropic Star Lodge in August of next year (next summer)! If you have not seen it, activity has picked up in the thread. We have some definite information and the time to make commitments is coming quickly. If we don't meet the minim...

I was cleaning out some storage at my parents house and came across a Fireboy fire suppression system that I purchased when I re-powered. My engine installers were very hesitant to install it as they were concerned about the damage it would do to the engines should it accidentally discharge. They al...

Dug

Ray, so sorry to hear that.

Insurance? Can you do the work yourself?

Dug

What is the cost to transport a boat over the ocean? Might be a reasonable alternative, especially given the low prices that Bertram 28’s are fetching over here in particular. I have seen many good boats in the 10-12,000 range, which to me is amazing...

Dug

Did you just call the main number or a specific one? I need to contact them as I have an issue with one of my rigger base tubes. I want to speak with them to garner some advice and guidance.

Many thanks,

Pete, Give me a ring. I'll PM you my number.

I have to say I was very impressed with how gracious the Bertram team was. As a long time organizer of get togethers, Bertram of old rarely asked input, and rarely did much to support other than throw a sleeve of hats in the mail. Maybe a couple coozies and a boarding mat one year. I offered the opp...

There is a fellow who put one on a 31 in FL. His boat is completely tricked out and really pretty. He put it smack in the middle of the cockpit, and built a tackle station around it. Each to their own, but he says it makes a HUGE difference. They are pretty amazing contraptions for sure.

Pete,

I just messed with my chocks this year. Very familiar.

Mine are all through mounted entirely in the anchor locker. No need to remove the head liner.

Good luck! Easy install. I used 4200 UV stable. Not as permanent as 5200.

No “Bertram Tickets” seem available.

I’m coming for the day on Saturday the 8th for sure. Not sure I can get a pass overnight. If I can I will. I could use a good nights sleep...
