When you own a boatyard and deal with the innards of boats and the boat builders themselves every day you learn a lot about builders ''ethics"....
How about dealers with ethics? Guess what I saw displayed for sale at the Miami boat show? A really nice yellow Bertram named "Certifiable" You...
I might add, if you are going to buy one of these, make sure your surveyor goes over every inch of it with a moisture meter.
We work on lots of them here. (in fact have one up here in the yard right now) For a lake boat they are fine. One step up from a houseboat. Big...

I am advocating his joke. Which I though was hilarious. Wait, I kicked myself off this thread. I better go. Hopefully I won't feel the need...
Sounds like you have.....
