There are not many of these boats around. The Mercedes truck it sits on is typical of how they transport in europe boats and horses.

I had just moved to Ft. Lauderdale from Chicago in November of 1979 to work for Howard. I remember a guy named Jack Cunningham representing Tolman Group in the purchase. They bought the boat, trailer, truck, spare engines and drives...everything.
I first met the late Angelo Meli at that time. Much later he went to work for Doller Marine where I saw him all the time.
Scary thought: Howard, Keith, Angelo, Ron Doller...all gone.
Somehow I'm still here.

Then in a apparently inexplicable way he also bought a second Bertram from Aoki that it is that on sale in Germany today.

Jacks gone too, I have raced in the boat once and tested in it many times. It would hit 90 fully trimmed out, probably faster than any other type of offshore mono of that era. With the side exhausts it sounded great. Toleman, Jack and Nick raced at Oregrund (spelling), Sweden and it was so rough the boat flexed and the deck cracked very badly just in front of the dash. We repaired it with aluminum plates and Glass before the CTC.
