Forgot about the 33, would rank it as the last of the Classics, as the 35' is a better rough water boat.
Curious as to how you rank the 35, when going over my mental rankings for classic Bertram's, I would come up with something like this: 31 - the...
Just noticed in the June Yachting magazine had a brief piece on the new Bertram 35. No speed graph but stated that it topped out at 36 knots and...
This thread was one of the best I have seen on a group troblevshooting a technical problem together, with great responses from all and clear and...
I did not really address the gas v-drive change to straight diesel drive. This is a large task for a boat of this size and age. Are your gas...
For a 33 Viking you would be looking around the 315 - 380 hp range for diesel. You could go lower as well but I would limit the top to 380hp....
This event would be the reason I now favor steel over frp or aluminum for remote destination travel. Another one I have come to admire from afar:...
If I was in the market for an ocean going trawler and could live with a less than 'yachty' interior but had to have a rugged steel vessel, I would...
In your area, talk with FDDA: http://www.fdda.com/ I know the USCG has them in all 174 of their RBM patrol vessels:...

Yes, I agree. A cool 4K drone with a skilled operator is a great modern day development. I was still a stdent back in 1989 and managed to get a...
All manufacturers on-highway ratings are exceeded by their off-highway marine applications across the board.
I never liked photo shoots with a Helo, especially when they come in for the close-up on an open bride boat and you can practically toss them a...
The roto-molded polyethylene fittings on these tanks are usually "friction welded" to the material. They cut a hole, and the fitting typically has...
The CAT 3406 has a torque advantage in the 1600 - 1800 rpm mid-range while the S60 has the torque advantage above and below that 200 rpm...
The S60 is a 14 liter engine, producing up to 825hp at 2300rpms. The nearest equivalent of the time was a 14 liter 3406 CAT, which came in at 800...
Totally agree that we must find a way to cut costs. But the "hawks" have their talons in so deep, who is going to be the champion for that cause...
Those horrific chain of events and the resulting mass numbers of European populations in failing health at the end of WWII certainly compelled the...
Yes that's it, now that is the life, sportfishing in Tahiti :cool:
Boating press is a mixed bag and each has their own motivations. Rarely do I buy in the hype. Sales probably killed it off. It was a Marine Max...
