<br />Not only that, it's in the same spot at the same marina (in a boathouse) since they bought it. Hard to believe really. <br />Know what's neat? Long ago my Grampa had a 40 Grenfell and my step-dad had a 20 Double Eagle on the same dock as the Bertram is. When I was just a gaffer we walked by the boat all the time. I remember it. When I told my step-dad what boat I bought he remembered it right away... from the 70's! A little history is cool. What to do now? I'll bring it home and figure it out.
<br /> I still have the use of a 'cherry' little 17' Bayliner (closed bow/Volvo power) I picked up for my folks so they can go out fishing or whatever (they're stuck with a lousy pension). I bought the Bertram to make a few bucks but now I'm thinkin' about keeping it. <br />I'm still looking for the 'right' larger boat... something like a 25' Sundancer. I had a nice 27' Monterey picked out but it 'failed' it's survey. Too bad, it was a really nice looking unit. I've spent a small fortune travelling around looking at some of these boats that people call 'mint condition'. I might be without a cruiser for a bit because I just can't find one that's nice and priced right. That's not too much to ask is it? There's a 26' Sundancer in the new Boat Journal that looks good... looks like I'm going for another drive this weekend <br />Don't get me wrong, I love boat shopping!
