yes.....nice isn't it

Yes it is Joe !! In my opinion these old girls sure do look really good compared to today's cookie cutter boats.:party-smiley-004:

Can someone tell me in post #665... what is sea twister?

Just guessing, looks like a 24-7 boat, Excaliber or P&D?

Sea Twister looks to be a 7 Meter Martini. This pic came from a Ohio GLOPRA race around 1976-77, hopefully a Ohio club member will chime in.

Phil,

Did you buy your Bertram Baron new as well?

Does Rich have the NN stills collection as well?

I purchased the 28 Bertram Baron from Stone Harbor Marina. It was a used boat, bought it in the winter time, made a deal with the Marina to remove both engines and drives and Install New Holman Moody 290 Hp with Volvo drives - Stone Harbor Marina had at least 5 Bertram Barons there - (not all were for sale) - Mine was the
boat that was used in their Brochure - and had the Bertram Nautic Special painted on each side, close to the transome. I had a feeling the orriginal engines were not in running condition.

As for the NNRT Still collection, I gave it to my twin brother Peter after Rich and Darren got the Video Library.
I think there are close to 600 or more Slides or transparencies in the collection. - I am sure it would be
available for sale, offers accepted.

Good looking boat the 28 foot Baron,sadly we never got them in "OZ"

al's boat was legendary - then again, so was al. it had small blocks with y-pipes very unique sound.

As I said before, $$$ makes boats go fast.

If you spend enough $$$ you can make a ugly girl look gorgeous.
