Beautiful boat ... well built ... but would loosen your fillings on a rough
outing unless you slowed way down.


Shuddagotta Bertram, Cadillac ride all the way. We loved our 33 but
it was just too small and too fuel inefficient for the kind of
retirement cruising we wanted to do. A 46 sportfish would have been
nice but they don't live nearly as well as a GB, and they burn 2 or 3
gallons per mile.



There haven't been any real "Bertrams" for years, just boats made by
successive companies that bought the Bertram name before, during and
after manufacturing started and stopped...Whittaker, Bertram Trojan,
Feretti and others have owned the name.
