good luck, call me if you have any issues, just remember, with twin inboards, it drives like a tractor does with the brakes, positioning to set up for a slip is like driving a train, you have to pull up, rotate, then back up. And there is no shame in tieing up on the tee head to wait for a favorable wind and tide to put it in the slip
oh, if you have seatow or towboat, check with Capt Pete to make sure there arn't any exclusions to worry about Last edited by spareparts; 09-28-2012 at 11:32 PM.

Have a safe trip!!
Twin screws---rock--you can dock it sideways--easy as can be to dock and manuever for sure---That is the one thing I miss about my 33 Penn Yan SF--them twin inboards--great manueverability. I use to be able to slide in places many others would never think of trying to dock in. If the boat would fit on the dock--I could get her in there. Have fun--I envy ya---love them long sea runs. Of course our average Albie tuna run will be 150 miles by the end of the day. Remember the pictures!!

Twin screws is a breeze...just practice a little when you get it into the ocean. It is a relatively a short trip but a good shake down trip. Enjoy it and take pics.....

remember backing up, leave the rudders centered (as my brother always yells at me, Don't touch the f...ing wheel Dumbass!"), leave the throttles in idle, and steer with the fwd/rev shifters.
Its hard for an outboard guy to break the habit of turning the wheel. Congrats on the Bertram!. One of my dreamboats. Someday!

If she is that good mechanically, go for it. Just don't use too much speed at the dock and it will be a cake walk. What a opener, tell us how you do..
