If I win the lottery this would be a nice addition to the stable.

31 Bertrams are in my opinion, one of the most beautiful boats ever built!!!

I was wandering around a marina in Hampton Bays, NY (Shinnecock Canal, Spellmans Marina) and there was fellow cleaning up a 1962 Bert 31... in bristol condition... We chatted about the boat, it was re-powered recently with Cat diesels, re-decked everything about the boat was brought up to date....and it was for sale

$175K!!! for a 50 year old boat, I guess a Bert 31 is equivalent to a Speedster

Hey Guys

I received this in my e-mail this morning from a buddy (an aviation buff) & I thought it would be cool to share it with you. It may have been posted before & if it has, my apologies. Enjoy it anyways, it is worth a look & listen.

Cheers

Pratt & Whitney R-4360-20 first start

This is a test stand video of the Pratt & Whitney 4360 Wasp engine introduced in 1944. Basically, the engine was 28-cylinder four-row air cooled radial engine. Each row of pistons was slightly offset from the previous, forming a semi-helical arrangement to facilitate efficient airflow cooling of the successive rows of cylinders, with the spiraled cylinder setup inspiring the engine's "corncob" nickname. A mechanical supercharger geared at 6.374:1 ratio to engine speed provided forced induction, while the propeller was geared at 0.375:1 so that the tips did not reach inefficient supersonic speeds. Initially, it developed 3,000 horsepower, later models gave 3,500 horsepower.


The 4360 powered the B-50, successor to the B-29 and later the B-36, to name a few. And although reliable in flight, the Wasp Major was maintenance-intensive. Improper starting technique could foul all 56 spark plugs, which would require hours to clean or replace. As with most piston aircraft engines of the era, the time between overhauls of the Wasp Major was about 600 hours when used in commercial service.
Turn the speakers all the way up & listen to the roar of a twenty-eight cylinder Pratt & Whitney "round" engine. As the Warbird people say, "Jets are for kids."
