Hey everyone- Sorry for the delay-- I have been getting the 10mtr ready for charter season and finishing touches on my 28 bertram to put on the market along with my daily work. Here are the specs on the props I am looking for-- 4 blade -1.25" - 18x20 We took the platform off the boat last week.

Congrats on the new boat-- I am also the steward of a '85 10 mtr express last fall--believe me--after having a 28 bertram for 25yrs-- I can relate to the relief of a stable platform. The hot water heater is forward of the port engine in my 10mtr express. I will be splashing in 35 days-- still going ...

I am looking some 4 blade props for this boat-- (preferably) or reasonable cash offer- I will be removing the platform this weekend.

I'd rather see it find a new home.

Hey everyone, Spring is around the corner and we are getting things ready to put the 'new 2 us' 10mtr into charter use. Boat is located on Lake Michigan in Grand Haven- I am removing a very nice fiberglass swim platform that I will not be using-Platform has fresh awlgrip on it-- very nice shape-no w...

Yes this was the boat in Traverse City. I had an offer on another boat (not a 10mtr)that fell thru the day before I looked at this one. This would have been a couple of days after that first weekend-Once the other offer feel apart- I started scouring the net and found this one just before Midnight- ...

RWS- Do you still have the floscans and are you looking to sell them? Next - I was wondering if the taller flame arrestors would make a difference- Glad to here to someone beat me to the punch- did you find a significant difference? The y pipes-- I am assuming this was create better flow--did you re...

When I started looking at 10mtrs--I was aware that many people with mid cabin boats that had rotten stringers . Construction was glass laid over wood-- One boat ended up needing the stringers opened up --wet wood removed- dried out and wood replaced with new and reglassed. Everyone that had Tiara's ...

Starting to build my spare parts arsenal- Does anyone on the board have an extra 1 1/4" shaft from a 10 meter express with 454's --

Let me know if you do and what you are asking for the shaft

Thanks
Dana

The figures I am quoting are from actual GPS runs in mid October- calm conditions- 3300 rpm 24mph on the GPS- My boat is a 10 mtr express- There are 2 other 10 meters at my dock but they are mid cabins--the mid cabin weighs more (because of the extra glass for the raised cap- mid cabin area- and the...

By far- If you are considering redoing any decks- roll and tip with Awlgrip-- The gelcoat does not require to be primered--unless you have a lot of areas that are missing gelcoat- Spot primering is ok. Awlgrip mixed with sand provides a great easy to care deck surface. Any hull or topside work can b...

My 10 meter express came with 3 blade props when I purchased her 2 months ago- Are the 4 blades OEM or did you switch to them after the fact? The previous owner of my boat has a set of 4 blade props that kept--18x20's and he is willing to sell them to me. He claimed to get 2 more mph of cruise speed...

Thanks guys--Nice boats you have.. Reelfishin--I have a couple questions I will send to you about your 10 mtr. The pursuit comment makes me smile- my charter dock has a couple of 36 tiara's---I've had a couple people make the same comment. The Bert is a gasser-- 302's that were new in 2007- Bert has...

Thanks guys-- After doing work similiar to this on my 28 Bertram-- I did luck out. Previous owner had put over $45K into it between '03 and'05. Interesting part is --survey is calling it AVERAGE(and he isa personal friend) I was about to ask him what more I could do to the boat. Not much that I can ...

Hi Everyone, My name is Dana and I am the new owner of an 85'/05' 10 meter express. My former boat is a 28 Bertram that I have completely redone and is now for sale-- I have a salmon fishing charter on Lake Michigan and after getting married and having a lil one on the way-we wanted more confort and...
