thats a Formula 233, not a Bertram, and i don't think Ray Hunt had anything to do with the design of that hull, other than it being a deep V. Jim Wynne and Walt Walters are considered to be the designers of the 233, there indefinably was some influence from Hunt designs, and Don Arronow took most of the credit

Look at the transom and cap, it's not a 233 FORMULA. Bertram did build a few 23 footers, but this doesn't look like one of them. This one looks like an Apollo, performer, or Sea Bird to me.

you're right! the sail area behind the side windows is definitely cut down further than the Formula, the transom looks all seabird, but i'd almost guess Apollo by the guesstimated age, i think Sea Birds were styled a little older, looks real good though.
Funny story, i was cleaning up the Formula i used to fish one afternoon and some guy walked up and said, "Nice Bertram", i said "its not a Bertram, its a Formula. The guy said back, "no, I know what I'm talking about, Its a Bertram!" I explained to the guy I've done a bunch of work on it(heads on both motors), it was owned by a friend, and I've fished off of it a bunch, I knew it was a Formula. But this guy couldn't be convinced it wasn't a Bertram. I think he spent too much time on The Hull Truth
