B38.............You have a beautiful "old skool & very sleek boat" Something that you can't buy like that today!........ Forgive me if you spoke about her earlier, but I've just taken notice. Can you tell me a little bit about her?
was she built very light for racing....kevlar?..........what's the beam?...........staggered big power?...........full race no cabin?.............the year?..................nothing, absolutely nothing would I prefer this over a more expensive
newer boat.

B38, I remember when you posted (user name-Solo) on Speedwake that you were looking for pics or information on 38 Bertram Race boats. That was on 4/14/05. I was using the name Magnum Malcolm and identified it as possibly the Needle Nose boat. I followed your restoration ...and I'm envious of what you've done with her. She is a CLASSIC!!

Fast Shafts, thanks for the good words and dates that once again tells me how fast time goes by when your having fun. wow.
When I look back there was a vision that nobody understood, I stated wait and see. Friends thought I was crazy including my family, now all I hear is Wow!. Silence
In a few weeks look for me at Key West, then Toys for Tots run on December 10th. who hoo

Solo was my Searay 390 EC I cruised west side of the great loop alone, cruised to the Bahamas with great success to realize a need for speed, Hence B38

In one of the pics of the Kings Grant Inn docks I see there is a picture of me in my Blue 28 Cigarette "Lucky Strike" cruising the area.
