What is it?
I remember, but couldn't find, a thread a while discussing this boat. An OSO member saw it in a field.
The description is hilarious!
Anyone know what it is or the real story. Looks sort of Bertram-ish.

Did Bertram make a model called the Drug Runner?

I thought that John McMonigle had some depp descriptions for his high-end homes in Shady Canyon and Newport Coast. This guy has a vivid imagination. I need him to write a few of my bids.
Probably splashed from a sutphen mold?

Looks like a Bertram Competition 38 deck to me, probably a splash.

That boat would be the creation of Miami boat builder/racer, Umberto Picon CARRERA early to mid 1980`s era. He was very proud of that boat, was made for diesels mainly, not sure how many he made. I believe it was 38` and very strange at best. It was a well built boat for sure, as Umberto was one of the best builders of the time. Umberto was a very good friend, and called me to please go see it when he first previewed it, all I could say is, sure is different, and then he went into all the reasons why he designed it that way, none of which made sense to me, but there you go. Brownie will also remeber this one I`m sure. 7XCHAMP

That boat has been all over NH, It has been for sale on its side(no blocking) on Route 1 , in a field, and always for crazy money. Would bright yellow be the color of choice for a drug runner ?

Whilst it is similar to a bertram 38 I don't think it's a splash. No disrespect to the designer or builder but it's nowhere near as beautiful!

Thanks guys! I just sort of got a kick out of the ad and was curious. I'd have to agree with Nige that the old Bertram 38 Comps were one of the sexiest race boats built! The new Donzi ZRC kind of reminds me of the old Berts.
