And Blue Man, I was reading your Mod post and I think you have the numbers askew, you want a two man crew and four petite super models.
The second man is really only there to take the helm for your long breaks.

And forget the heater what you need is a set of good quality fishing bibs and boots, in a size xxxxl.
Then you get into them, you take one petite, facing whichever way you are in the mood for and slide her in too.
What other heat would you need brother, I'm just saying!

Willy i am very impressed!

We need a "bow on" shot. That way we can judge if we can even pretend its a gigantic V20, .

Don't think it's a V - Closest I got now

And to Dave (Spare) and Ozzie (Old Coot) thanks for the advise and support.

Now get your dead arse's up here and go fishing!

Congrats!!!

I was going to say check the gas tanks cause there was a guy that had one and they used fiberglass tanks in them, New gas eat them to hell, so he had to pay something like $10K to remove his teak deck and replace tanks then rebuild the deck!

Good luck with her!

Willy, I knew she was coming from your email.. She's a beauty for sure. I've always loved the Bertrams..They just say elegance. As a matter of fact, the only thing I see missing from yours (and I'm sure it will be installed soon enough) is the stripper pole. I mean.....really... ya gotta have the basic necessities.

So, when are we going out?

Thanks guys for all the kind words, all of you fellows are welcome anytime. but i think you already know that.
I am making arrangements to go to Cape May, about three hours by car and to meet the previous owner and take possession of the Bert.
Will have I believe about a six hour run to get her up to my home waters.
Only real concerns are fuel related.
The fellow just used her basically as a condo on the water. The two forty gallon saddle tanks were filled last season and not used.
The main 165 tank is from May this season and he does not use any fuel treatment. It is about half full.
Boat has run four times the past two weeks, three times with either me or the surveyor and everything ran great off the main tank. I ran the boat with him at sea for about an hour and a half.
Surveyor for about half an hour.

Best of luck with your new boat!
