I love the old Bertrams too, Albemarle boats are built close to me in Edenton and are really nice too! I think my favorite is Carolina Classic, love the flare and lines! Almost like an overgrown V20!

Yes I've posted before that it is my dream boat. I could get a 25 with a jackshaft single i/o, even a deisel, in my price range but after long consideration I decided to look for twin OB boats with bigger fuel tanks and range. They make beautiful Carolinas now with bracket OBs but I won't afford one for 20 years...
Converting an old one isn't the same. The new ones moved a bigger fuel tank to the engine bay and puts in-deck fish boxes where the fuel tanks were.

A friend of mine had one of those North Coast's back in the early 90's, he loved it. If you have any specific questions about them let me know and I can ask him.

Like Ferm said, 2-smokes sell like hotcakes around here too.

Proline made some boats that were based on Donzi hulls with sharper deadrises that I like the looks of, but it is a little tough figuring out which ones they are because Proline changed their model numbers so often.

Anyone have any experience with Shamrock boats? I find the 22 footer with the keel very interesting in center console or walkaround.

Just not sure if I am competent enough to operate a single engine inboard around docks, putting on the trailer, and in some of the shallow waters I end up in, but everything I see says the 22 only has a 2 foot draft.
