Cap, this was a really clean gas powered 50 that was repowered with twin 6 cylinder mans. What makes this one even more unique was that she was...
Was yours the one with 6 cylinder Mans that was repowered by the people that were building the Columbos? If so, did you buy it within the last...
I don't believe any of those boats that you linked to are "real" Bertrams. I think they're built by a company that was licensed to build them...

Agreed but I always held out hope for a miracle that would get the old plant humming again...
A sad day for the die hard old school Bertram fans down here in Miami. Although the new facility might be better, I think by leaving Miami Bertram...
Small world. The owner of that yacht was in my yard a couple of weeks ago. He used to keep it in Pompano and will be bringing it back to FTL...
Carl, I don't want to smear their name online, if you want the scoop, drop me a PM or give me a call tomorrow.
All well and good if I didn't know one of the sellers you were trying to "buy" a boat from. Regardless, good luck.
