If its that big a project cut the transom out and make it a 33. If your gonna make it different might as well go all the way. Recess the Tabs, standard rudder layout just further aft and lower shaft angle. Its a win win. I liken what Carl is doing to what classic car afficionados call a "Retro Rod"...

If this was recommeneded by Carl, I'll take back my words. No need at all for that. It seems like Carl has two different types of B31s moving through the shop. He is retoring some as close to stock as he possibly can. He is also doing some very custom things on those boats where the owners are will...

Absolutely ZC. I did not want to post the yards name. Please if you have do post. I have several from March that show the new stringers installed. I will try to get these up here as well. ZC, does Carl do some incredibly beautiful work, or is it just me? I took the liberty of forwarding your photos ...

CWJ and Harv, would love to have you guys see the boat when it gets up here. Right now she is in Florida at the yard. Will post some photos for you guys. She will be spending some time in Montauk each year, so it won't be a bad trip for you Harv. CWJ, you can see her when she is here in WI. Unless y...

wow, that is cool

Walter, not only is the backing an issue, I think that would be an extremely highly rated ring to take the force needed to pull that boat on to a trailer, fuel or not. I'm not sure I would trust it with my baby!

By the way, Joe Vukan, congratulations and best of luck!

where on the island are you located West Islip Over the years have had two B25s, two B31s, a B38, and a B42 in the family. Have had lots of other boats in between, but always seem to gravitate back the B31s. Just fantastic boats that look great with lots going for them. And they are full of memorie...

What are you putting in for engines? Yanmar 315s Can I ask what you asked the yard to do? Are you trying to squeeze more top end out of the boat before she gets all squirrelly? That may be the only reason I could see going thru so much effort, even then how much faster could you go? Bought this boa...

Thanks for the feed back. Most of it matches my gut reaction, and I appreciate it.

Need some input. Having a 31 Bahia Mar rebuilt from ground up. The yard wants to move the rudders to the stern, a la BlackFin 29. They want to do this to allow them to alter the angle and extend the wheels further aft. he idea is the boat will trim better on its own. This boat will have a swim platf...

Pretty cool idea

Yeah, the Hatterass is certainly a water plow & can dig a deep furough... Only makes sense, Hatts seem to like being on the hard more than being in the water. The ocean bottom being made of Terra Firma, a Hatt naturally tries to get as close as possible to its comfort zone. http://www.havenharbour....

Bayliner-> Hatteras? You're going in the wrong direction son! Your supposed to trade UP, not DOWN. Well, if there weren't people who knew so little, how would everyone realize that I know so much?

At least learn to throttle back when you your drive exits and re-enters the water.

Makes me feel good to know there are folks like that in boats like that on the water as I head home after sun down.....

Bought "Legend Of Bertram" as a gift for my dad, based on Capt Pat's recommendation. I regret to say I ordered it direct and not through the B31 site. I'm sorry but I didn't realize the site would be compensated for the order. In the future I will be sure to direct all commerce through here.
