That call of a CC from the Bert is one I am struggling with now. Most (95%) of my time on the water is decent weather fishing, in Raritan Bay with some runs outside. All pretty much within a 20 mile radius.
I am also usually alone or with one or two friends or family. The problems I have with the Bert is that for solo fishing it is tricky. I did manage to get it out alone once but on my return docking was very tricky with the current and tight quarters we have at our marinas here.
But the ride, oh the ride was amazing.
That is why I am having such a hard time deciding.
I have found a very nice Bert for sale and a very nice CC. Actually two very nice CC's, that Regulator is one.

In regard to fixing Senor Bert that was out of the question. Had a large breach in the hull bottom, had a main bulkhead come untabbed from it and the extent of the running gear damage along with the tremendous road rash and gouging of the hull and cost to re-do it made it cost prohibitive.
According to the surveyor that looked at when he went beyond what the insured value was within five minutes of looking and knowing there would be much more in the end he determined that it was a total loss.
Apparently the Senor took out two over thirty five cruisers severely damaging their hulls, knocked another big boat off its steel cradle and then took out the steel cradle. That is what finally got to the Bert in the end putting a large IBeam into the hull bottom.
