I'm looking for suggestions or pic's of what some of you guy's out there with Sport Fish boats have done for storage in the engine room of tools, spare parts, filters, oil .....etc I was very spoiled with the amount of room I had on the 70 Sport Deck for all of the above! I may have to cut back...

The old depth system had been acting up for a bit..you could turn it off at the breaker and wait for just a few sec. ...turn it back on and it would be ok for the day or several days. Now its showing random depths no matter what. I had the local tech out and he threw a new transducer over the...

Does anyone here have reccomended brokerage here in south Florida? I’m considering selling my 70 sport deck. It pains me to do it but I just can’t find the time to use her like I should.Thanks

I noticed opening the midstateroom port window the other day the glass in it was about to fall out! Can anyone advise how they were seated and the appropriate fix?

I got a quote on servicing 2 onan 15kw units which includes valve adj. ,fuel pump rebuilds,new injectors, scope the cylinders and replace the belts. The est. totaled $6,900. The units have 4K plus hours and one starts hard, runs rough and smokes a bit. Thoughts.....

In looking at previous posts here, it appears a bruce claw anchor is one of the best at holding in all conditions. My question is that there are many different manufactures of this type of anchor. Which would you suggest and where do I order it from? The next question is about dock line. Looking...

Looking for anyone who can suggest a electronics installer in the MI market. Would like to remove some of the old and add some new to the Bertram I just purchased up here. It seems to be tough to find someone who really knows their stuff in this area here or in southwest FL for that matter. Thanks

So here we go, engine survey comes back great but, there is no previous service as it relates to a tune up ever being done during those hours. Do you think that the injectors are worn enough in 4k hours to warrant replacing? .......a question posed to the Detroit Diesel mech. ......which was...

http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1993/Bertram-60-Convertible-3119651/Cheboygan/MI/United-States#.Wc-HsWiPKM8 It appear's that I have lost my mind..again! One of the only boats I have ever looked at that the boat looks way better in person than the pic's in the ad! This boat was as close to NEW...

Does anyone have the name of a Detroit Diesel mechanic/surveyor in Northern MI? Looking at two boats one with 12v71TA and one with 16v92DDEC. What would it cost to rebuild a pair of 16v92s? My guess is $80 to $100K Also, what do you think the life of an Onan 20kw or 15kw genset is? Should one's...

From a search it appears that this topic has not come up in a while. I'm in south FL and have been having the diving Co. doing the bottom monthly year round....as we struck a deal vs every other month prior to that. His rate has been $2.30 a ft for cleaning the bottom and installing zinc's when...

Speaking of recent value....what do you all think about the two of these sport fish boats quality and current value? Viking is a late 90s enclosed bridge and the Bertram is a early 90s open bridge. Both have Detroits for power. I know a HATTERAS 65 WOULD BE BETTER but finding a good one and then...

My BW 250 ZF on the Port motor is running hot...20 plus hotter than the other one at 135 degrees vs 120 on the other side. When I slow to idle after running it creeps to 150! I have flushed it out forwards and backwards, checked for any water flow blockage and have found nothing. The center mark...

I'll try to make a long story short...bow thruster was leaking a bit and had it taken out and rebedded three years ago. Found at the time it wasn't bonded to the boat..IE eating zinks! I bonded it at the time...still eating zincs faster than it should. Just pulled the boat again after having it...

Does anyone know of this boat? Sounds like it had some damage done in Ike back in 08 with allot of work done at the time. Great price but salt water inside gives one great pause.....

I just replaced a leaking cylinder on the port side and in calibrating the fin back to center process I also checked the starboard side which I had someone else replace a couple of years ago when it was leaking. The port side, I just did moves smoothly at the dock while adjusting the centering...

I am pulling the boat in Jan. to freshen up the bottom paint. I stripped and painted the bottom three years ago and was going to install them then. I was so pissed at the yard for taking two months to do two weeks of work that I just wanted out of there! I reviewed the old posts here about them...
