Carl,
If you go to the Downtowner, there is a wooden boat up above the door where you enter from the west side. It has the Bertram logo, but I don't know if it is. Can anyone verify if this is an old Bertram?

As you can see rough water and Bertrams always went together very well. When the other boats stayed in port or slowed down, the Bertrams continued on.

Just picked up on this thread.

I remembered that my StepDad had the first Bertram in the UK (maybe Europe?) back in the '60s. He did the London-Paris-London Race in it and came 2nd. All the wooden raceboats just fell apart but this new fangled fibreglass production boat just flew.

Interestingly, Hull#12 ever made used to be next to me in Venezuala still with the original owner and he had motored her down from Miami on her Gas engines back in the '60s! Well he does own the Santa Teresa Rum Distillery.

I thnk the boat your are asking about was a 60 Hatteras named Grunt. It burned up in Cherry Cove, Catalina and now sits in Boat Yard for sale.

This Bertram is on the Gangway next to me and is still there.

These are recent photos of my 1984 Bertam 46.6 "Rascal" one running in the Keys and the other anchored at Waderwick Wells in the Exumas Land & Sea Park. Rascal is powered by DDA 8V-92s rated @ 600 HP. She cruises at 20-21 knots at 2000 RPMs and has a top speed of 26.5 knots @ 2350 RPMs. 2950 total hours.
She has comfortably and ably cruised all of the Abacos, Eluethera, Exumas, Andros, the Berry Islands and everything in between with my family of three including our Black Laborador. In the states she has gone as far north as Jacksonville and south to Key West.
Being a great offshore and head sea boat, she has served us well even in the most challenging conditions.
We purchased her in 1993 following the loss of our Bertam 38 sportfish at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo during Hurricane Andrew. During our 17 years of ownership, we have either rebuilt or replaced every system onboard and upgraded whenever reasonably possible. She continues to be a source of family enjoyment and provides a great fishing/diving/partying/cruising platform.
We have recently added a 11 foot Avon RIB and davit after towing a Mako 17 for 15 years. We are hoping to upgrade someday to another good seaboat to make room for grandchildren.

This is my 1996 Bertram 46 returning to port during a fishing tournament. Many systems and electronics updates since then running on MAN 820's which do 32Kts WOT and an easy 23 Kts cruise at 1700. Great boat.

Here is my 1984 Bertram 54 .. 5 months into the refit now .. looking forward to bringing her home. The new enclosure is going on today - electronics next week ... then clean her up!

[Bayside Bert28]

Here's one of the new top going on. 3 weeks to go.

[Manny]

Great pics! looks like the refit is coming along very well! boats like ours really are unique.

[Bayside Bert28]

Yes ... it will be in perfect condition ... all issues addressed by restoration or replacement. I look forward to cruising it down to Puerto Rico and the area someday! It is indeed a very special boat to me ... as is my Bertram 28!

The style of the Berts in these pictures are the best ones out there.
These are the Bertams I remeber as the bullet proof battle wagons.
Great pictures.

Bought this one 2 years ago. I was told her original owner was Jimmy Moran, the car salesman billionaire. Name of the Boat back then was "Amazing". Then Jimmy sold it to one of his partners who named her "Double Eagle". Next she was named Sea Horse and now She is OZENA.

In the process of updating her and new to this forum.
