I just recently purchased an 81 ft RPH. Always wanted one. I do get tired of reading about how much they are to maintain. I am not a wealthy guy but the good stuff costs money. And to keep something you Love nice takes commitment and cash. I did not buy a used Burger because it was a bargain or because of how much it costs to own. I bought it because it makes my heart skip a beat when I look at this work of art. In my view other boats do not even come close to quality and beauty of these Yachts. It is sad when people buy them and proceed to tell people how bad they are because they really are not committed to owning and maintaining one. These Yachts are not for everyone. I have owned several yachts in my 50 years of yachting and can honestly say my Burger is the most satisfying in looks and peerformance,comfort and reliability of any of my previous choices. I wish I could have bought one 40 years sooner.
I try to consider the source when some one bashes a boat manufacturer or engine type. Some folks are as you put it, not committed or have no idea the work and effort it takes to keep a boat in good order. I always like Burgers myself. Good on you for buying and maintaining a classic boat.

I am trying to find out who the original owner of my Burger Ser# 290C 1972 81ft RPH. I have alot the history but not who ordered it new. Is there anyone out there that might know or where to inquire.
Thanks for the info. I thought the Abstract was done when I did the documentation. I'll give that a try
Guessing here, Rocky Step Recreation? Originally Marymar. Not 100% on Hull ID...(former Lord Jim or Lady Faye?)
Well I think it was named Aquagem when first launched. Had a few names since. Lady Carolyn, Silver king, Aquila Jovis. I think there were others but can’t remember now. I was hoping someone could add some owner history to this.
Ok, try this... Originally "It's Incredible Too" owned by Marianne Weder. Later Silver Cloud III, Carolyn, and Silver Lining?
