"THANK GOD IT'S A BERTRAM"
 
Hey guys,
Back in the Mid 80's , there was a Bertram Ad out, that showed what appeared to be Bertram SportFish Making its way through one hell of a Sea, with the Caption Saying, "Thank God Its A Bertram", I always loved this ad and was just wondering if anyone out there has seen it, or could post a pic of the ad.

I remember that add as a kid in Boating magazine.....Fond memories when I was a kid my parents had a 60' Hatteras sportfish enclosed Flybrige we used to keep at Millers Marina in Boca Grande. Remember asking my dad " can our boat do that?"
I too would love to see that add again.

Who is them? I remember the work shop at our Marina when I was a kid had a huge Bertram poster of the stern of either a 42 or 46 convertible. All you saw was the guy on the flybridge holding on for dear life and the bow of the boat pointing straight up.

I'd love to have that poster.

Didn't they also have an ad that showed a drawing of one on the front of a wave about 20 feet in the air and it was a depiction of an actual event??

Thank God it is Betram, except if you lose an engine on the old boats, because the rudders are so small, you go in circles and can't get back.

Solution, upsize the rudders.
