bertram baron for sale
 

That's gotta be rare. Very cool.

Help me out here but if that was properly restored, would it be worth big bucks or is it just another boat with classic appeal to powerboat fans? I.E. Sentimental value and pride of ownership.

there were made only 11 of them with the inboards if i am right,high value in my opinion ,if i did not have the banana i would go for it.
it doesn't become more classic then this !

----There have been many guesses as to how many 28 Barons were built. I have been following them since 1970 when a friend who lived near me on Cape Cod got a brand new one, and I can say with conviction that there were more than eleven Barons built. I know of more than eleven that I can count right now. Not that the #s are high. Probably more like 25 or so, and that's not counting any of the ones supposedly sent overseas. If I wasn't knee deep in projects I would be making a call right now about this one.......Bill S

Back in the mid 70's there were 4 of these Barons on lake St Clair, The Grinder, Super Moth, Killer & Sitting Duck,, again just on our lake alone. Last year @ the OFF reunion @ Lake Dora I talked to Sammy James about the 28' Barons as he worked at Bertram back then & said around 30 were made. Here are some pic's of Bertrams that I have pic's of. There also was a company called Outlaw Marine [white hull] that made a knock off Baron here is a pic of it. Olredalert & I found & bought the Super Moth Baron a few years ago, but we knew the right thing to do was returned it back to the family that raced it in the 70's, it's now in restoration. They are a very cool classic worth restoring.

Cool boat. Not worth 12 grand.

I think 38Banana is getting the 38' Raceboats mixed up with the Barons. I believe only 11 38' Raceboats were built.

I heard 17-18 from Kurt that has Needle nose 2

hi sorry,maybe a misunderstanding i dont know witch 38 race boats you are talking about,what i want to say is if i did not had the 38 banana already as a project i would have like to buy the bertram, beautiful lines !
my english is maybe not always 100% clear,it is not my native language.

The Killer Bertram was Sandy Black's pink race boat, but it was Phil Lewis's original NEEDLE NOSE Bertram. Unfortunately the Killer Bertram & many Magnums were lost in the fire @ Emerald City Harbor around 1975
