The last month was spent working on the plumbing, bathroom, corian counter top, shower, tanks, custom fiberglass tank holders, pumps, electrical, etc... Lets just say it was time consuming and F-ing expensive!!!!! Everything still needs a good cleaning before the cabin floor goes in. Best part is my...

SO SEXY!

Joe E

These two units seem to be pretty close in comparison. Does anybody have any experience with either? The sound shield on the next Gen looks a little nicer but the unit in a little more expensive. Thanks Joe

Joe E

I don't think they have. Haha, but they all appreciate hard work and craftsman ship. Truly this site and the people on it have helped more then any other source out there. Joe

Copy let me know if you need it and I can send it to you for a donation to the site, amount of your choice. Joe

Joe E

Mike, I have one if you need it. Joe

Joe E

Truly amazing, gives me new hope!!! Can't wait to see her in person, Joe

Joe E

Buju, sorry to hear that. I hope everything is ok, let me know if I can help in any way.

If the group and Bertramp (Steve) is good with it I would be happy to take the lead. It will take me a week to get the mold ready to pull off of and I think I can pull two a week with my schedule.

I'll get a check in the mail when I get off duty Monday. I have no problem pulling parts if someone else isn't interested or we can share the load. I can do the prep on the mold at work. I think white gel would be the simplest and people can paint to there color choice. Material cost And shipping sh...

Joe E

I'm in also. I also have all the necessary items to pull of the mold. Cleaner, sealer, mold release, gel coat, glass resin, etc... Joe

Joe E

John, I just did mine, brushed it with dura tech self leveling bilge coat. Tough as nails and they are in CA. I think awl grip is over priced for a bilge as small as the Bertram 31.

I also use alot of POR15 products. I order directly from them and have never had any problems.

Thanks Tony, You were a huge help getting me on the board and passing my info to Capt. Pat. Bob, All one off MDF molds sprayed with a polyester primer and sanded to 1000 grit and polished. I was using a Wax and PVA process but on Capt. Pat's recommendation, I'm switching to a release agent process. ...

Joe E

Tony, The house is done I molded it last year. Similar to Bob H. But different. I had the boat 6 months before I was able to join the board. When I saw bobs boat I was thinking I'm not the only crazy one. I used very little of the original topside only about 6 inches all the way around from the engi...

Nice Vince, I can feel your pain. I have been long boarding for the last three weeks. It's such a good feeling seeing the project take shape. Joe

Joe E

What does he plan to do with it? I would love to restore it. Joe

I am using 4 sheets 4 1/2x 8 feet each

Just received my sound down in the mail today. Ordered it from Steve at sound down. Went with his recommendation 1 1/2 inch thick in 1lb. I will be screwing it to my forward bulkhead with #10 screws And fender washers (my foward bulk head is now 1 1/2 thick) and using sound downs fastener kit on the...

Joe E

Capt frank, if you pass on the gen set, can you send the info my way, I am looking for one as we speak(write) Joe

Joe E

Thanks capt. Pat sent you an email. Joe

Joe E

Thanks capt. Pat, your knowledge and info far exceeds anything I have seen or read else where. Ill use your advise on the next mold project. Do you still use the same process for your "one off" parts? I have many more molds to build but only for one part then I'm done with them. Thanks again Joe

Joe E

This weeks project was the bathroom mold and part. Hope to get installed this weekend. I'll update other projects soon. I used MDF to construct the mold off measurements taken off the boat. 1inch router bit was used to make a nice corner for the glass to lay on and a nice cosmetic look when the part...

Joe E

Truly amazing capt. Pat what are you using to secure you decks down. I noticed you filled the screw holes. Did you expoy the screws in? Joe

Joe E

I am just up the street. I didn't know if you were from CA, or an east coast Newport beach. Getting the engine out will be easy. Shoot me a PM when your ready and I'll come down and we can brain storm it. Joe

Joe E

Does anybody have a recommendation of where to get custom made breaker panels made. I want engraving and back light. it will be visible and at the helm. Thanks Joe

Joe E

I am using sound down spoke with Steve moyer at sound down today. Very nice guy and very informative. 186 for a 4x8 sheet of 1lb. 1 1/2 inch. Cheaper than the product sold localy here. Joe

Joe E

I just purchased a set of primax silencer at a great price. They have a anti back flow system(flapper) built in. My question Is should I still install surge tubes. Thanks Joe

Joe E

Joe E

My theory is the other 3 marines taught that boy a lesson!!! God bless them.

Joe E

Does anybody have a connection to purchase underwater lights? Joe

Joe E

I speak from experience on both issues. I had a battery fail that was bow mounted for a windless. I caught it before there was a fire only due to the rotten egg smell it gave off when it let go. On the cable size as everyone has been saying go bigger. Even one or two sizes bigger than factory recomm...

Joe E

Nope sorry Frank haven't received anything. Joe

Joe E

Covered unless you make the center match and expose all three

Joe E

Congrats, I can only dream of that day. Joe

Joe E

yes, I had some done for a hot rod I owned, Not good for UV and does scratch, ALMOST looks like chrome. Think of the chrome on a model you built as a kid,(or adult) Very similar. Joe

I am getting ready to order my tramson exhaust fittings and would like to know what most people are using. straight? or 9 degree shank? Thanks Joe

Joe E

While I can appreciate the craftsman ship, I believe you over built them, your slightly underpowered as is and adding weight will only cost you knots. You could achieve the same effect of the center supports the aluminum angle. Joe

Joe E

Thanks, I was thinking of running bolts through the stringer in a few spots instead of the pinch. I can also add later as I need them. I tend to store a lot up in the v birth and under the floor. I’m pretty sure they’re going to get bent over and eventually break. Any thoughts? Joe

Joe E

I am getting ready to install the bonding strap in the hull tomorrow and wanted to know if I connect the strap together in the bow of the boat? Also how far up the bow do I really need to run the strap? I have no thur hulls or equipment past mid ship. Thanks Joe

I have been looking for either one of these extrusions for about 6months, 100s of calls and emails for only one guy that said he “may” be able to get it at and outrageous price.
