Should have some soon. Pod, controls and dek-king decks going on now. Hardtop, chairs and riggers all going on in the next couple months. I'll get some shots when it comes out of the shop and we put on the top on. It's coming along nice (and slow).

I had Release Marine build me a double helm that shared a center arm rest which was a mod off Bob Licos idea. Its got double 3 slat ladder backs on 2 stainless pedestals with slides. I measured out the 31 bridge and had it custom built to fit it. Were almost done with my boat, after 6 years, and set...

BOBMX

I'll let you make that call when we're done.

BOBMX

Really it was me. I decided to do the hard top, teak boards in the cabin, pull the hardware off and paint the bridge and a few other things while it was there. The boats being kept inside and I'm working out of the country most of this summer so I took advantage of the down time and the available ta...

BOBMX

NC. Not sure yet, hopefully water it all goes well.

BOBMX

Frames are at the glass shop. Almost done! I'll get pics as soon as they are back.

BOBMX

He had it there yesterday. He said he would bring it over again today if anyone wanted to see it. He can be reached at 252-723-2222, Bob.

BOBMX

Since my boat is the first he wants to wait until its done to figure out the total labor and material costs before finalizing the price.. I know the glass was ordered earlier this week so we're in the finishing stages. I'll post the price he's going to charge once it's done.

BOBMX

What glass did you use?

BOBMX

Beautiful!

BOBMX

I would assume that he could do a frame-less front and side and that would look great but would require another mold and I think he's all in with this project. When he did his original sides they were done to match the Bertram original fronts. The new fronts were done to match his sides that he alre...

BOBMX

Peter, for sure on the non skid and the glass. We should be able to come back far enough to provide protection while leaving entry space to board without a problem. As for the the grab rail the plan is to get the back leg ladders rolled around to the proper angle and front v-brace on 1st then figure...

BOBMX

Update. Front frame is in. Sides will be right behind it. http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a529/BOBMX/Bertram31windshield1_zps7a6f8869.jpg http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a529/BOBMX/Bertram31windshield2_zpsbebe0091.jpg http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a529/BOBMX/Bertram31windshield3_zps0b9...

BOBMX

Somewhat but more along the lines of this except i'm going to bring the ladder legs all the way down and roll them out a bit toward the sides of the house so you can climb up and step in from either side. I dont like the way the boat in this pic was done as there were two steps that went from the ba...

BOBMX

That's great! My dad had a '67 Shelby GT500. Not signed by Carroll but fastest car I've ever been in.

BOBMX

I went with pedestals to get good foot rests that you can either fold up or swing away to run while standing. I am also adding a hard top with a full across double pipe rocket launcher seat that will tie into the back legs of the top so the holders will be able will handle the load. I did away with ...

BOBMX

Nice Shelby!

BOBMX

I did figure out that the foot boards stand 13" off the pipes and I have 16" in between both pipes. By raising one board a couple inches above the other I can swing them both inside between the pipes to get them out of the way instead of adding the fold down rests which would be a pain.

BOBMX

I'll try to negotiate a commission for Bob Lico on each seat sold since it was completely based on his original design! I'll have window frame pics this week and will post them in between my travels.

BOBMX

Thanks. Will do on the backing plates. Peter, I don't know about the "finishing touches", the more I touch it the farther from finished I get!

BOBMX

2ea. 18 1/2" seat bottoms; 2ea. 2/1/2" outside arm rests; and 1ea. 3" center rest= 45". Bob, your concept but connected. I'm going to abort the swing out foot boards , space too tight, and configure a fold down style like on the Stidd and add a connecting bar to put both slides on 1 pull.

BOBMX

I've been working with Release Marine for the past few months on a design for a B31 custom seat and wanted to pass on the results. It's a double helm that measures a total of 45" with each seat measuring 18 1/2" wide. I had the seat board tapered in at the middle and the center rest over lap the boa...

BOBMX

Will do. The other 31 docks across the creek.

BOBMX

Chris, If you're talking about Rick Smiths I was standing next to your boat today. I dropped my center console off with him to put new trim tabs on it and saw what I thought was yours across the ramp. If that's it than nice find, looks like its in good shape. That's where my 31 will be when it comes...

BOBMX

Chris,
Where about in Annapolis? I'm on the Severn River.

The ducks go to the villages where people have no work, no money and no means to feed their families. There is no downside to helping the helpless in a country where the cartels have made it impossisble for people to survive.

BOBMX

If I did that in the US I would have had to send the pic from jail! Air boat is a blast but burns about as much gas as a B31.

BOBMX

Keep a handful for the freezer and give the rest to the local villages.

BOBMX

Yesterdays morning duck hunt.

BOBMX

I had a 41 in a 26' Albemarle and loved it. Ran out to the Rock Pile numerous times and couldn't believe how little fuel it sipped. There is truth to the parts are $$$ statements but fuel saving are a partial tradeoff. There is a good Volvo marine diesel dealer in Grasonville, Seven Seas Marine 410-...

BOBMX

Beautiful work! Can mine be next?

BOBMX

Been traveling and just got back for the holidays. I'll send out a check this week.

BOBMX

Game on, old windows are out! http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a529/BOBMX/BobStryker007_zpsf4541b47.jpg http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a529/BOBMX/BobStryker009_zpsebb312a9.jpg http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a529/BOBMX/BobStryker010_zps3ebc37e3.jpg http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a52...

BOBMX

I like the Morse single lever but If I go through the trouble of adding the helm pod I want the bonus of the extra dash space the palm beach controls will give to make room for 2 Garmin 6208's.

BOBMX

Sounds like it will be single levers after all your input, thanks! I've been talking to Rob Panish about his cables, controls and throttle balancers. They are mechanical but supposedly finger tip control.

BOBMX

I'm thinking of adding a helm pod to raise the height on the steering wheel. I'm also considering single lever controls to free up needed dash space for my electronics package but am a little apprehensive as I've always run dual lever controls . It doesn't seem natural to me turning backwards and ru...

BOBMX

hope to be about 4 months behind you...

BOBMX

Rick, my old windows will be out of the boat next week. Help yourself to them if you want. I told Brodus to give them to you. Bob

BOBMX

Thanks. Im doing solid fronts and slider sides. He is doing a flip up front as well. My windows are not bad I just want new. You can have the old ones if you want them.

BOBMX

I added a vacuflush head and holding tank so far but am planning on updating the cabin, adding the hardtop, riggers and electronics package this winter as well. Goal is to be in the water April-May if everything works out. Hopefully will see you out there John.

BOBMX

Before. Brodus is supposed to send me weekly photos. I'll post them as she goes.

BOBMX

And so it begins. Boat made to Brodus Rose today.

BOBMX

Rick,

I can see why you are frustrated, that's not a good fit at all! I'll post photos along the way and we'll see how mine comes out. Hopefully the complete kit will flow together as planned and you'll have another option as I'm sure you're not going to keep your boat like that for long.

Bob

BOBMX

Rick,
He said he is going to make both flip open and solid fronts. Time lines he said are about 6-8 weeks to finish. I want to get this and my hardtop done by spring as well as some other things so the timeline is critical for me. Ill send you my email to send the pics. Thanks.
Bob

BOBMX

We got lucky on the Chesapeake as no one I've spoken to got much in the way of storm damage. Wasn't comparable to what the guys north dealt with.

BOBMX

Talked to him this morning.

BOBMX

Rick, I appreciate you sharing your experience with Brodus as that is what this board is all about. This is also the risk that service providers assume when they deal with individuals on this board. Good or bad everyone is going to report. For the record, I don't know Brodus and can only comment on ...

BOBMX

Rick, Several people forwarded your concerns to Brodus and this is the response he sent me: "Bob, Thanks for your inquiry regarding the windows built for Mr. Kral. We do have an issue with his windows that can be resolved. However, after viewing the numerous photos sent by Mr. Kral, I’m not comforta...
