Default 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!

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