I have not posted to this site in a couple of years, but ran across something I thought could be of interest to 33 Bertram owners and logged in, only to see this topic about the site being "quiet". So maybe a new post can spark some activity. My boat has been docked at Dauphin Island Marin...

Jason, Terrible news. Let me know what the insurance does. Are you going to try to buy the hull back as salvage if the insurance totals the boat? Dennis Knizley Knot Guilty IV 454 Mercruisers Dauphin Island, AL

The abbreviated trip is firming up for a May 14 departure. Just had the bottom painted and back overboard today. It looks like an eight to ten day boat ride. My wife is on board to Apalachicola or Carabelle. On that leg a sailboat friend and his wife, he with much experience, such as sailing from Da...

April is about over and I am still tied up at the dock at Dauphin Island. I am not making the Islamorada trip this year. Work is just too overwhelming and with my best efforts I could not cut out the needed time. I am going to try the first leg from Dauphin Island to Carrabelle Island, just east of ...

Buzz, Thanks for the reply. I do not have time to make this trip. I am going to take the time to the determent of my work. If not now I will put it off again and again and never take a trip like this. Dennis Knizley Knot Guilty IV 454 Mercruisers Dauphin Island, AL

In April I am going to take my boat from Dauphin Island to Islamorada. I have been there many times, some just to fish, some just vacationing, some both, but always by air or driving. This plan is to run the boat there, leave it a couple of months, returning to Mobile to work, but drive, go with a f...

Frank, Three x-large One large One medium One small All FBC I will send a check for $90 today. I will send you an email with mailing address. Thanks, Dennis Knizley Knot Guilty IV 454 Mercruisers Dauphin Island, AL

I have gas and had gas 350's in a 28 Bertram for 14 years. Diesel is great but as Rick said you cannot justify the $75,000 switch. Old sportfishers are a dime a dozen and large expenditures on power is not an option. My experience is gas engines in these boats are going to get 2/3 a mile to a gallon...

Mark, it appears you had to establish a new membership on this site as well as this is your first post. Is that correct? Your boat is the Trinity, right? I saw you today in Dog River I believe. I was in a 19 foot center console, my river transportation. The Bertram is finishing up the installation o...

I blew one engine up at the Rodeo last year so I put two new ones in, 454 Mercruiser gasoline again. This week is finalizing the repower. We were to sea trial it Friday but a few small bugs still needed attention. So, no fishing since last summer on my boat. How about you? Knot Guilty IV 454 Mercrui...

33 Bertram forum members, Over the last several months I tried to enter the forum unsuccessfully. I thought the New England guys decided to kick the northern Gulf of Mexico guys off the forum and blocked us out. As fishing season was approaching I thought I would try to sneak back in and see what wa...
