So the deal finally closed last month & I thought my old Bertram 50 was off to new territory. Nope. I hear the new owner had some trouble at work & his accountant said the boat has to go Poor guy owned it for less than three weeks. So, I drive by my old girl almost every day. The day the deal closed, I was getting a few last things off. I took a last look around & thought of all the places & fun that was had on board & kinda felt sad.....until........ I then paid off every last bill I had, bought a mint '59 El Camino & a few new fire arms, ordered my wife's new kitchen, & started planning a few summer trips on the Hatteras!!!
I picked up a '94 50 Hatt conv. with 12v183 MTUs. It's a one owner boat, little old guy picked it up at the Palm Beach show new & it had only 1500 hrs when I got it. One engine sucked up something & had a major overheat so it came out in pieces, J&T completely rebuilt it & then the owner said to sell. So, I got a deal (under$180k shhhhhh) but I had to have the bulkhead opened up to get the engine installed. $20k operation done by J&J (beyond excellent work by the way). It super clean, always lived up north & wasn't fished. I'll fix that though!
See if he'll hold the paper on it. hehehehe.......... You've got to update your avatar with the new boat. Either that or buy the old one back. LOL
