20' Betram Moppi
Look, I don't endorse switching but anybody with a love for hulls with a strong heritage (like our V-20s) might be interested in this little Bertram too:
20' BERTRUM MOPPI, 1966, EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH TRAILER, $5800. (203) 381-9997 (4X) . Bridgeport/Stratford

Re: 20' Betram Moppi
I think it's "Moppie," I spelled it wrong. The bahia mar is my favorite hull. In fact, a restored 25' Bahia Mar would be a dream boat for me.

Re: 20' Betram Mopie
A moppie for $5.8K - not bad at all.
I 've owned several, and have a project 20 Bahia Mar now. Since the Bahia Mar is out for this season, the only other boat I'd consider is a V-20, and was lucky enough for find an '83 center console here in MD. Note that Ray Hunt designed both the V-20 and Bertram 20 hulls. "Water softeners" is what we call the Bertram 20 and the praise would equally apply to the V-20s. Given that Bertram 20's were produced prior to the V-20, I'd bet the Bertram 20 design predates the V-20. Thus the V-20 enjoys a few advantages over the (older) Bertram 20 hull ... 1) the V-20 has much greater bow flare 2) the V-20 has narrower waterline beam, and hence finer entry forward. 3) A useable vee-berth in the V-20, versus sorage area forward in the Bertram 20 moppie. If interested I have electronic copy of the Bertram 20 brochure. C-Bill

Re: 20' Betram Moppi
Great info Capn Bill. I waxed my flare (along with the rest of the hull) this weekend in prep for splashing, sometimes I'm not a big fan of the flare. Thanks for the post, I love Bertrams too.

Re: 20' Betram Moppi
CapnBill, I would love to see the Bertram 20 brochure. If you could email it to me at [email protected] I would appreciate it. I want to look at a Moppie for sale in Annapolis. My wife thinks I'm nuts, I keep shopping for boats!
