Curious about your Bertram 31. Did you enjoy it and how did it handle the big water?Weather is slowing down the process. Just waiting for the weather to warm up so we can move forward with the hull and engine surveys.
Did you settle on the 450?

99.99% yes pending the usual survey and sea trial stuff. I already know about the swim platform and hopefully that's it for the major stuff.
LOVED it. Up at 230am, head 40-90 miles offshore, troll till 4pm, run home asap (up to 26.5knt cruise) and take about 145 gallons with the Cummins 6BTA 300hp engines. I screwed up during the redo and made it too nice. I never fished it and all I did was cruise and wash it.
Absolutely! Just waiting till it doesn't drop below freezing so he can unwinterize the boat and we can more forward with the surveys. I'm guessing we are a solid 2-3 weeks before it's safe to unwinterize. Is "unwinterize" even a word??
Also want to wait for the roads to clean up a bit. There is no way I'd want a boat being transported in the next week or two.
Still just a nice, constant 85° here in Florida - sorry....Going on 2 days of sunshine here in the Philadelphia area and I am losing my mind! I'm so ready for boating season to begin, till I realize there is still snow on the ground and it's 40 outside.
Amen... nice day on the water today. Back on a plane to Philly in the morning.Still just a nice, constant 85° here in Florida - sorry....
My wife, god love her, will not lift a finger to help me maintain it, it’s my job. Can’t get her to even take canvas down.
Heck, mine expects me to take Marriot points.Not intending to derail but just letting you know you are in good company here. Mine won't do much either. In fact she won't even show up if she gets so much as a hint there is work to be done.

You are the SeaNile that posted about your Bert on THT back in 2008/2009?. I recall reading about it and looking at the pictures and thinking about how gorgeous the boat is.LOVED it.
