Hey bud, love what your doing and your channel, and you may already know bout this, but what I do when drilling hole saw holes on angle is put a long drill bit of at least 12" in the hole saw, gets me perfect angle and guided every time!!❤

[@vernesecustoms]

Thanks, Martin!! The Ol'Etended-Pilot-Bit Trick! 👍 Yessir! Used that going thru the Coosa Stringer! Like a charm!

[@dwcheshire]

A 31 Bertram is worth whatever it takes to keep them on the water. There are few boats that have the fish raising capabilities. of them, and with that sharp deadrise and overbuilt hull, it's fantastic fish chaser too. Tropic Star in Panama has 31 Bertrams as the ONLY boat that rises to their standards when chartering some of the worlds biggest names in billfishing. I am curious why not Yanmars@@vernesecustoms

@sidcostello7532 I could be wrong, but I believe the Tropic Star Fleet is powered by Volvo Penta now. The Owner and Captain decided on these engines after a lengthy due diligence period. We are extremely excited to see how our modifications help with overall performance.
