That's a very thin skin. Considering how vague and oblique her question was, there was only so much help that could be offered. Then add in the...
It's not as bad as it sounds. Yes fraud can and has happened, but this is a fairly small community. It's amazing how fast and wide reputations...
Glad I was able to widen your view. That burn rate sounds about right. I use (or allow my students to use) a thruster so seldom that it doesn't...
Another thing about that Bertram is that it's a good running boat but not such a good sitting boat (lots of rocking), which is what you'll be...
There's a lot of boats that fit that bill without paying for the old Bertram mystique. For instance:...
If that's all the speed and amenities you're interested in, why not get a trawler or even a commercial workboat / fishing boat type. You'll pay a...

Unfortunately boats have neither a fixed location and filed deeds like real estate, nor VID#s permanently stamped all over and titles like a car....
The mechanic fixes what breaks and performs annual maintenance when asked to. He doesn't tear apart working motors. He also probably works on...
