But for sure are going to see many post to follow with advice also. 1979 Bertram 33' FBC ALEXANDRA Port Richey, Florida HAVE YOU SIGNED UP FOR BERTRAM PRIDE '06 yet? DO IT NOW... SPACE IS LIMITED!

Grady, What year and model do you have? I have heard of guys boring out the stock mufflers to reduce back pressure for a diesel conversion but I don't think anyone that posts here has done it. I replced my sportfish doors with custom made oak and a mahogany one for the entry door but if you look for some older posts here about doors you'll find some links for some really nice doors. There are some choices.
