Here's an update: I will be taking pictures (and hopefully posting them) as the project goes along. The genny has no hour meter. I think I'm having the work done privately by a contractor, but I'm waiting on one more estimate from Glasstech. So far, my guy has a good reputation and will be able to k...

Hi guys, The shafts are currently 1.5, going to dripless 1.75. The genny is an Onan 6.5kw, running, new stator (rewound recently). I'm located in Pompano Beach Florida and I haven't yet checked the hours on the unit.[:p]

I'm leaning toward the Northern Lights 6.0, I don't know if the sound shield will work though. By the way, I will have...

Well folks, It's been a while... I am taking the plunge. I am repowering my 87 SF with QSB 380's, Northern Lights Genny and running gear. It will be pricey, but this is THE boat. I just love it. It's going in within a couple of weeks for prep work...wish me luck! Also, anyone out there done this gas...

I took a look at that Bertie with the 3126's. I'm not so sure it is a 33. I don't remember any of them having a second state room with no engine boxes. Maybe it's a misprint. The 3126's weigh in at 1592 each. I'm about to repower mine from gas to diesel. I like the 3126's, but I've been told the cum...

Hey everybody, I went to the Ft Lauderdale boat show and spoke with a Yanmar rep. Anyone have Yanmars in the 33 yet? If so, what's your performance like?

Hey, has anyone solved the leaky aft hatch woes? I've seen that glass tech can make a cockpit deck with locking, gasketed hatches, but 4500K seems like a lot to protect the genny.

Hi Dave, I just wanted to say thanks for the great site! Not to mention the help and general useful information it presents. This was a terrific thing you did! You rock dude! Sharon

Anyone have any trouble insuring your Bertie? I just bought an 88 sportfisherman. So far Boat US is willing to do me right for a HIGH price! Others will insure but for a fraction of the value. Any thoughts?

Hey TonyNJ / Doug33 - I did check out the Crusaders (price and gas vs diesel) I like them too... definitely more cost effective but MORE FUEL? Not that there isn't enough room but holy god! I run the boat out of Pompano Beach Florida and plan on trips to bimini, peanut island, possibly the keys and ...

Hey everybody, I'm the proud new owner of an 88 Sportfisher. God I love this boat! I am planning on repowering from gas to diesel. Any suggestions for size, type etc would be greatly appreciated. I have some idea of what's involved and the cost but more info can't hurt. Project deadline will be abou...
