Thanks guy's for the reply's. I currently have a through hull feeding the washdown faucet just aft and outboard of the starboard engine box. My hope was to use this through hull for both washdown and bait well. After reading your reply's, I think I'll probably get a Y valve and a shurflow super pro ...

I am looking for recommendations for a dual purpose pump. My brother built a live well that will sit on the deck just aft of the starboard engine box (this is where the raw water spigot is). I am hoping to find a good pump that will provide enough flow to supply the live well and enough pressure to ...

Sorry about that. I ran a preview and clicked on the link. The video came up for me so I hit submit. I'll contact the guy that took the video and see if there is some other way that I can post it here.

Here is a video from the Rybovich Reunion in mystic last week:

That boat is haunted. If you look close you can see the apparition of a person in the cabin. Wonder if that's not the captain that went down with the ship?

JR

jackryan

Uncle Vic, You got that right. We came up the pass last night and there was a 28' Carolina Classic so far up a sand bar you could see the running gear. He had to be going a pretty good clip when he hit the bar. Boat is probably a total loss. We called him on the vhf to see if there was anything we c...

Anyone know the name of Marlin's boat?

JR

jackryan

Thanks for all of the input.

JR

jackryan

Walter,

Thanks for the reply. This boat has 350 3116 Cat's, so she has plenty of power. I tried to find the thread on this topic, but I seem to remember that there might have been some cavitation issues with prop pockets on the 31. Good chance I may be remembering wrong.

JR

jackryan

Marlin, I have the Rybovich book and was wondering which Rybo you own? What is the hull # and length? Post some pics here if you have them. I will be on a family vacation in Old Forge New York when the Rybo Rendezvouis goes off. I am trying to figure out how to break away for a day to go, but it's a...

jackryan

I have a friend that's looking at a 31 with the Cabrera prop pockets. I seem to remember that there was a thread on these a while back. Is this a good thing, or are there some adverse handling characteristics with the prop pockets?

jackryan

This is a beautiful boat, if not a tad bit overpowered?

UV,

I'm sorry to say I never met Snow, but sounds like a good man and one heck of a character. Port Eads has lost two special guys in one week. Uncle Vic, sorry for your loss and may Snow Rest in Peace.

R.I.P. Buzzy. He was quite a guy and no doubt, one of a kind. He definitely brought humor and quite a bit of color to that small corner of the planet. He will be missed.

JR

Thanks guys,

I'm going to get a case of 30 micron Racor's today and put my engineer brother on Eddy G's tool. We've been putting the liquid Algae-X in with refills for the last 2 months, so that may explain the mass of debris in the bottom of the bowl.

JR

jackryan

Uncle Vic, I was at Port Eads today and the fiddler crabs are everywhere. That's what I was thinking too. We are running the 10 micron on the racor's and 10 micron on the spin on engine mounted filter. I am a bit worried that if I go to the 30 micron racor, the 10 micron spin on will end up getting ...

jackryan

Speaking of Racor's, we have been having problems with our filters clogging after about 5 hours of running. The symptom we see when the filter clogs is engine rpm surging and huge loss of power. We have been trying fuel additives and they still seem to clog after about 5 hours of running. The locati...

jackryan

Mikey, That's exactly what I was saying when we got the frame out. More like aaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee. Rawleigh, Mine were also two pieces, a top and bottom, but it sounds like some guys had an inside and outside piece. The broken glass and frame are already at C Glass getting fabricate...

jackryan

It took a bit of effort, but we ended up getting the back window frame out. It must have been a retro frame because it was a single piece. Most of you guys sound like your back window frames had a front and back piece, but these were set into the bulkhead with a large bead of caulk. The frame and da...

jackryan

What a beautiful boat. What kind of power are you going back with?

Thanks guy's,

I'll let you know how it goes.

My brothers went down South Pass again on Saturday and the boat ran fine. They jumped into the water with mask and snorkel and inspected the running gear and bottom, and everything is fine. They spent the night down there and discovered that the A/C pump sucked in some sand and burned up. They said ...

jackryan

Thanks for the reply's on the window. When I bought the boat, after some research and a few emails to Capt. Patrick, we came to the conclusion that this boat started life as a sportfisherman model, and the back bulkhead and windows were added later. I guess there is a chance the back windows are dif...

jackryan

When we hit the sand bar, my buddy slid into the back window and did a number on it. As per Uncle Vic's suggestion,we are planning on having a local glass dealer replace the glass. My brother went back down yesterday and could not remove the frame. He said he removed the screws on the top half of th...

jackryan

Andre, Forgot to reply to your question about construction activity at Port Eads. Yes, they are working around the clock on the marina. They also have some test piles driven on the bank of South Pass where the scales used to be. Not sure what they have planned there. I'll keep you posted on the prog...

jackryan

Tom,

We saw a beautiful 46 Merritt named Billy B from Freeport, Tx. anchored in South Pass Tuesday night. I hope that was not one of the boats that hit bottom. Guess we were in good company.

JR

jackryan

Andre, Wow, thanks for the offer. Two of my brothers are going to take the boat out on Sat. and do some snapper fishing. They are going to bring a snorkel and inspect the running gear and bottom. We ran over 100 miles the other day and everything worked fine, but just for peace of mind I want them t...

jackryan

Had a great trip with my brother and friends yesterday. Caught a limit of snapper, a beautiful wahoo and some dolphin. Beautiful blue water rip 15 miles off South Pass. http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb348/polarjack64/DSC_0011.jpg Here's a picture of Decoy at Port Eads: http://i1201.photobucket...

Michael, Congrats and welcome aboard. The description you gave of your fly bridge has me really curious about how your boat looks. You gotta figure out how to post pictures and put some up. I have a 1978 31 that started life as an open bulkhead Sportfisherman model that someone added a bulkhead to a...

Dug,

Looks like good stuff. Do you know what the cost is compared to Coosa? I wonder if it will stand up to the chemicals in epoxy resins used with fiberglass? Also, the Coosa is very rigid and I'm wondering if this material as rigid for use in structural applications?

Chieftan recently received a major refit/repower by Michael Rybovich and was owned by Alan Jackson. I agree, the interior is a great layout. Here are some more pictures if anyone is interested:

Thanks Capt. Patrick.

Interesting article and if you read to the last page there are several references to Dick Bertram and the 31 Bertram.

Like a lot of you, I wanted a 31 Bertram bad, and somehow found my way to the sandbox. I eventually fulfilled my dream and took the plunge on a 1978 31. Since then Capt. Patrick has been more than helpful with the problems i have encountered. He is a wealth of information on an amazing array of topi...

jackryan

Pretty amazing that this topic has come up here because there is quite a connection between Cubavich and the 31 Bertram. I came across an article on Cubavich and near the end it talks about Dick Bertram and his 31's connection to Cubavich. I have the article in PDF format, but I am not sure how to p...

cwj,

Thanks for the link. I was just checking the Amazon site and it looks like shipping is free on the Moeller ice chests. I'm also looking at the 320 qt Engle which is $620 from a place here in New Orleans.

Great ideas. I went to the Performix website (make plastidip) and they have quite a few interesting products. I agree with you on the igloo coolers. They do not hold up to the rigors of offshore fishing. (The one I'm repairing I found discarded after a Mardi Gras parade Tuesday) I like the Yeti, SSI...

I have an igloo ice chest that I would like to use to hold chum, but it has developed some cracks in the shell. Wondering if any of the faithful have a technique to fix a cracked ice chest?

Thanks for the pointers on the lockjaw tuna. The water was thick with the small glass minnows just like you said. I'll try your technique next time and hopefully you will have some tuna steaks headed your way. Have a great weekend.

That a beautiful wahoo. I went out of Southwest Pass this last Sunday and fished block 89, 93, Moxie and Lena without as much a a knockdown. Beautiful weather and conditions, and lots of small tuna on the surface, but no takers. Humbling after our slaughter last trip. Can't win em all. UV, that reci...
