Hey spare pick me up on the way,I'm ready to work on the old bert.

come get me too..... I hate glasswork BUT I can work on the rail and drivelines and operate the blender... margaritas anyone?

Man that sucks. Knew how excited you were about your new boat from the video and everything...

Hopefully you can get it fixed in the near future...

Breaks my heart to read the extent of the work would have to be done on that breach in the bottom of the hull...if it could all be done from outside, then doable...but pullin floor and tank...gets dicey, then toss in the running gear R&R...$$$ add up quick...Problem is, it still LOOKS good...I almost wish it was busted in half...that way it'd be an easy call...the good news; there's another out there w/your name on it...you just haven't met her yet...

In light of all the devastation around you and all our V20 brothers up there, I know you are thankful for the truly important aspects of life...y'all stay safe up there...this will take time to parse through, but all will be past in the future...keep yer hair combed...

Thanks for the thoughts Oz

And Barnagat no adjuster yet, they say it will be awhile. They suggested I get my own adjuster and forward ti to them.
But I don't know anyone for that. Has to be multiple disciplines involved. Glass man, mechanic etc.

If anyone up here knows anyone who does that sort of thing please let me know.

You mentioned a surveyor...and you can ask the marina owner...bet they can steer you toward the man you need...

I wouldn't worry about pulling the cockpit out, not that big of a deal,glas-teck in Florida actually makes new cockpit liners for older Bertrams so you can get rid of about 500 lbs of excess. Local glass guy here has made his own floors and done several bertrams

I'm really sorry, Willy...

So long as the engines and trans are good, you can often times find a 28 in need of repower for under $5K in good shape minus engines and trans. There is one down here by me that can be had with a triple axle trailer and tuna tower for about $6K with no engines or trans.

Whoa, DUDE!!...Might be just the Rx needed here...big transportation ticket, but if it's in as good shape as Willy's...hmm...:sand:
