Restoration Project: Bertram Competition 38'
 
A piece of history gets its due, http://speedonthewater.com/component...competition-38.

What an incredible labor of love.

Sorry for the somewhat less than artistic story layout. Speedonthewater.com currently is being redesigned. The new and much-improved version (at least I hope) should be done by the end of the month.

Great job on the story Matt - and obviously - on the restoration, too. It's wonderful to see these classic come alive again!

Awesome job on the resto. I had no idea they only built 15 of these. I wonder how many still exist.

Great restoration and great story about it!



I saw this Bertram on a poker run a few years ago:

Owner has a fleet of offshores (3 Apaches, 46 Skater etc) and this boat ran great. No the owner was not Chris Sunkin! :lolhit:

Only three that are usable, there are two more in yards resting. The other ten are long gone.
