[Bayside Bert28]

I'm enjoying my Bertram 28 and it's great value to be sure ... but too small for the kind of comfort my family (wife, 2 kids ... 3 dogs and a cat) wants in the long run.

I want this!

And to keep the Bertram 28 too!

Nice!! Apparently I've done something wrong in life because with 4 kids I'm lucky to be looking in the 30-40K range. Good luck to you and I hope you are able to achieve your desires.

PS anyone want to fill me and Bert in on how to achieve our "wants" chime in!!

"Bertram 28" "(wife, 2 kids ... 3 dogs and a cat)"? What happens when the mother in law comes along?

Hi,

Lots2learn- You might want to have a look at thisd if you haven't caught it on the news.

The sea can be cruel and unforgiving to those who do not pay attention to what is going on around them.

Told (post 29) there was still time. Those good thoughts must have helped. Good to hear one turned out well.

I know ... not sure if the 800's are big enough ... if she falls overboard, I don't want anybody to hear her scream:-)

No ... just kidding ... mother in law is great, it's her daughter that's the boat hater!

Bert 28,

Well, if you want a 54' Bertram you can have mine!

newer, faster, and cheaper than the one you linked, too.
