DM me. I got bad fuel at Oregon inlet 8 days ago and had to pump out my entire tank, replace filters, and get my fuel injectors clean. This was on basically a brand new Suzuki outboard. They tried to tell me they weren’t having any issues with the gas, which now I see is a lie. I’m a licensed NC attorney and I don’t intend to take this crap laying down.
What is the latest on your Bertram are you back in fla with it? Do you think those old Bertrams are really worth it and are all what they’re supposed to be if you had to do it again would you still buy an old Bertram let me know
Hey yea I’m back. I cooked the starboard transmission in that storm, most definitely my fault. I should’ve slowed down but instead launched her airborne probably 5-6 times. Since getting her home it’s just been dealing with scammers and thieves that call themselves marine mechanics. I’m hoping she’ll be back in the water soon though. The new trans is in and just needs the starter, heat exchanger and ancillaries hooked back up now. I think I’m regards to value, you can’t really beat it. Sure it cost $10k in fuel to get her home plus another $7k in payments to mechanics and other workers. But you couldn’t come close to getting a newer boat similar to a b28 for triple that cost. So I’m short, I’d still make the same choice again.
You have improvised and adapted, you are RECON!
I like yalls style…been looking for a good hull for a center console rebuild and stumbled on your vids. Tenn boy but we love visiting your state
@@BrandonLayMusic hell yeah 👍! Bertrams are great for center console builds!
Cool trip..good information
Quite an adventure I must say!!! 🤗
Bertram FTW 🙌 That sucks you guys got sutc with bad fuel. All the more reason to do a diesel conversion. Hope you guys make it ok
Thanks! Definitely took the wind out of our sails for a bit but we got her going again!
That's the good eastern north Carolina bbq!
It was so damn good!!
Wondering how much gas money whew

@John Everett not sure how to DM on TH-cam but if you want to discuss feel free to send me an email at rmh10g@gmail.com
That stinks they sold you bad gas and then denied it. Glad it worked out.
Yea bad situation. Luck was on our side though on cleaning her out
you need to drill a small hole in the side of glass bowl on water separator then run a 5/16line from glass bowl to bilage pump bay

I can’t believe Oregon inlet f’d U like that. What a hassle, totally sucks.
Yea it certainly did. Silver lining was getting to eat at the Wanchese Marina! Great food!
