CADILLAC BOAT HISTORY By Andreas Jordahl Rhude [email protected] 22 July 2010 Cadillac Marine & Boat Company of Cadillac, Michigan started in September 1953 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Wagemaker Company. Boat builder Wagemaker of Grand Rapids, Michigan also owned U.S. Molded Shapes, Inc. and Mr. Raymond O. Wagemaker was president of all three firms. The Cadillac Chamber of Commerce was instrumental in luring the boat firm to the city. Across town was a branch plant of Chris-Craft that opened up in 1941. Cadillac made aluminum fishing boats and runabouts. U.S. Molded Shapes made molded veneer boat hulls for Wagemaker which finished them and marketed the boats as Wagemaker Wolverine. Cadillac also made wooden boats with hulls from U.S. Molded Shapes. Between December 1953 and August 1955 Cadillac made 5,300 boats. A production of 7,000 boats annually was not uncommon in subsequent years. A January 1955 full page ad by Cadillac appeared in The Boating Industry trade magazine. They were promoting aluminum, molded wood, and strip-built boats. A photo of their large 100,000 square foot modern plant was prominent in the ad. Wagemaker Company started Empire Boats, Inc. of Frankfort, New York in 1955 to make aluminum, molded veneer, and fiberglass pleasure boats. They were attempting to cover all bases by having wood, aluminum, and fiberglass watercraft in their product mix. 185 Cadillac workers were on strike in July 1956. Two of the strikers were arrested and held in jail on August seventh with charges of malicious destruction of property on the plant grounds. They were accused of turning on fire suppression sprinklers which damaged office files and plant equipment to the tune of $10,000. A $750,000 fire wiped out the Wagemaker plant at Grand Rapids in February 1957. One thousand five hundred hulls were destroyed in addition to production space and equipment. A great deal of production of wooden boats was shifted to Cadillac Marine and Boat Co. To cover all markets, Cadillac added fiberglass boats to their product line in 1959. Probably one of the wildest boats ever conceived was the sixteen-foot Sea Lark. Industrial design Brooks Stevens was on retainer with Evinrude Motors for many years. He was commissioned to design an annual feature boat on which Evinrude could hang their newest motor. It was displayed with great fan fair at the annual Chicago and New York international boat shows. The boat was not necessarily intended to be built for public consumption. It was a means for Evinrude to gain great publicity for their outboard motors. In 1957 Brooks came up with the Sea Lark to promote the new 35 horse power Lark outboard motor. The boat had a molded wood hull with fiberglass deck and aluminum trim. It was a marriage of the three boat building operations owned by Ray Wagemaker. The sporty two seat speedster had massive fins and featured twin bubble windshields. As far as can be determined, Cadillac made two of these boats. One has been discovered and is the coveted possession of a classic boat collector today. The boat firm first filed for trademark protection of “Cadillac” on October 28, 1955 and it was published in the Official U.S. Patent Register in March 1956. A month later General Motors filed an opposition with the Patent and Trademark Office. Going a step further, General Motors filed a lawsuit against Cadillac Marine & Boat Co. in February 1957 claiming the auto maker had rights to the name "Cadillac" and they wanted the boat builder to cease and desist using the name. In 1964 a federal court slapped the automaker's hands and said they did not have a monopoly on the name Cadillac. GM was ordered to pay $41,000 to the boat maker for legal fees and loss of reputation. Cadillac Boat had a full page ad in The Boating Industry in May 1958. They pictured and describe aluminum, combination of aluminum and fiberglass, and molded wood boats. They were promoted as the “sweetest boat afloat.” Wagemaker also had a full page ad and [US Molded Shapes|U.S. Molded Shapes]] had half a page of advertising space in the issue. Thirty workers were back on the job in March 1960 after the plant being closed for one month. On April 15, 1960 Ray Wagemaker sold all his boat operations to three men: Walter E. Schott, Jr.; Charles J. Schott; and Harrison O. Ash. The Schott's also owned Lyman Boat Works of Sandusky, Ohio through their Curtis Manufacturing business. Operations of Wagemaker Wolverine and U.S. Molded Shapes were shifted to Cadillac Marine & Boat Co. after a $250,000 fire hit the U.S. Molded Shapes plant about April 23, 1960, just days after the sale. The former B.F. Goodrich plant at Cadillac was secured for production space. Harrison Ash gained complete control of Wagemaker, Cadillac, and U.S. Molded Shapes in April 1961. He changed the business names to Ash-Craft Company at that time. U.S. Molded Shapes, Inc. at Cadillac, Michigan was on the auction block on Tuesday 10 October 10, 1961. The machinery and brand name and good will were purchased by Chicago businessmen Frank Zale and Jerry Fencl. Fencl was head of Delta Boat and Marine Sales of Oaklawn, a builder of wooden boats. They had been obtaining their hulls from the Cadillac operation. Fencl’s brother Milo operated MiloCraft Boats of Chicago, another builder of molded veneer boats. Only a few months later, in January 1962, U.S. Molded Shapes was sold to Kenneth Zick of Charlotte, Michigan. Eighteen workers were on the payroll at the time. U.S. Molded Shapes of Cadillac was advertising in the January 1962 issue of The Boating Industry. Ash-Craft, makers of Wolverine and Cadillac Boats, had a four page, full color brochure inserted in the magazine. Ash was attempting to move all the boat production to West Virginia under another one of his firm umbrellas, New-Kanawha Industrial Corp. in 1961. On November 2, 1962 all the firms owned by Ash filed for bankruptcy. It cannot determine if boats were ever built in West Virginia. It is not know when boats were no longer being built by Cadillac in Michigan. When the federal court awarded "Cadillac Marine and Boat Co." the $41,000 in 1964 in the failed suit brought by General Motors, it is unknown who got that money. Was it Mr. Ash or was there a corporate shell of Cadillac Marine still around or did it go to the bankruptcy referee or trustee?

1996 Formula 280 Sun Sport. Very interesting history on this boat, Please read the entire listing. This boat was purchased brand new in 96, It was Only used for 2 seasons(96 and 97) and then put in storage for years, until I purchased in in Nov 2013. I am a boat mechanic with over 35 years experience, I was looking for a Formula 280 SS for my family to use at out lake house on Lake George NY, and this was the clean'ist one I could find. It only had 250 original hours on it, most of the features on the boat had never been used. I removed the engine, drive and transom assymbly and sold them.I wanted the boat as close to perfect for my family as possible. I Prepped and Painted the bilge with Interlux White Epoxy 2 part bilge paint. Then I installed all new blower motors, 2 bilge pumps, 2 float switch's, dual batteries and a new trim pump. I installed a Brand new Bravo transom assymbly. I installed a Completely rebuilt Mercruiser 454 Magnum with 385HP. The engine is carburated and is as simple as they come, very easy to maintain and work on, and very reliable. I then installed a new Bravo III Dual Prop sterndrive. The boat went in the water first week of August, this summer in Lake George and it runs GREAT. A Single engine in this boat is the way to go, it is very good on fuel, (burns only 6-8 gallons a hour) it goes up on plane quickly and runs much more efficient then twins. I cruise the boat at 3000 to 3200 RPM's and the boat is doing about 32mph, a little more Rpm's and the boat will do in the 40's no problem. The boat has approx 10 hours on the new power. Total hours on the boat are about 260, That's all. It is very large and wide, and takes any waves with ease, it drives like a Cadillac. This boat is fully loaded! The cabin has shore side power. 2 sinks. Inclosed Marine head with holding tank and monitoring system. 2 showers, one in the bathroom and one on the stern. Marine CD stereo System with new Speakers and remote. AC/DC Fridge and ice maker. Alc stove in the cockpit area. Full canvas with double bimini top to the stern, most of the canvas never used. Cockpit cover. Removable Tables for the cabin and cockpit. Power engine hatch lift and alot more. This boat is turn key ready and needs nothing. We have decided to move down south and are liquidating our toys. I could not replace this boat for what I am asking, I have alot of hours and money into it,(alot more then I am asking) whoever gets this boat will be very pleased with their purchase. My insurance company appraised the boat at 23,500 that is what they valued and insured it for. Terms of sale, A trailer is NOT included with the purchase price of the boat, this is a large boat and some people can not tow it. I DO, have a trailer that I can offer for it, at a very good price, it is a 2002 32ft aluminum triple axle trailer for 10,500 capacity. The trailer is a extra 2,000 dollars if you want it. I can deliver this boat within 250 miles for a fee of 3.00 a loaded mile. I can deliver this boat to the ports in NY, NJ or Baltimore MD for a fee. I can winterize this boat for a small fee. Inspection of the boat is to be done before you make a offer to purchase it, if you can not do this yourself, please hire someone to do it for you. This is a "buy it now" listing and can end at any time with a accepted offer. The boat can be demonstrated to buyer, but is being sold AS IS. I will work with you as much as I can to make this a very enjoyable purchase. Thank you for reading my listing.
COMPLETELY RE-DONE / RE-FIT ULTIMATE SPORT FISH ING MACHINE - WITH TOWER
$25,000
Blue Point, New York
PLEASE NOTE - THE BOAT WAS HAULED OUT A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO HURRICANE SANDY AND SUSTAINED NO DAMAGE. INCLUDED IN THE AUCTION PRICE IS STORAGE THROUGH THE 10/31/14 IF YOU CHOOSE TO KEEP THE BOAT AT THE MARINA. (Storage thereafter is $200 month) I WILL DELIVER THE BOAT BY WATER PERSONALLY TO THE NEWARK NEW JERSEY PORT FOR THE PRICE OF FUEL FOR INTERNATIONL BUYERS. The boat is for sale locally as well and I reserve the right to end the listing at any time. Up for Auction is a very rare find no less in this kind of condition. The Bertram 38 is one of the best sport fish hull designs ever made. The Cadillac of fishing machines. This boat has been cared for its entire life and it shows. It has been re-fit and updated in almost every possible way over the last 10 years. From engines to exhaust tips, wiring, lighting, outlets, gauges, paint, cabinetry, ceilings, carpet, bedding, The Tower, the list could go on and on and on. A small fortune and many many hours have been spent upgrading this boat in almost every possible way. Pretty much the only thing left from 1965 is a bullet proof hull with the structural integrity of a Sherman tank that rides like a Cadillac in almost any sea condition. Structural integrity –The structural integrity of this boat is beyond comprehension and description in words. The one piece hull is made up of layer upon layer of hand laid heavy thick fiberglass and resin and is probably 3 times stronger than anything you can find today and twice as thick as any hull that has been made in the last 30 years. Looking inside the hull you see results of and the definition of true craftsmanship and the pride that went into building this boat. Something you could never find today at any price. The strength of this hull provides a serious extra measure of safetyin the event you encounter any floating debris like a telephone pole or tree. The keel of this boat could probably withstand a major impact that would crack the hull and sink most other boats. If you properly installed a sharp angled piece of heavy steel on the forward entry point where the hull first hits the water….. you most probably could get the ABS (Amercian Bureau of Shipping) approval to change the boats rating to “ICE BREAKER” class-LOL. PLEASE SEE 3 LINKS TO 188 ADDITIONAL PICTURES OF THE BOAT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EBAY ADVERTISEMENT Engines: Powered by economical Twin Detroit Diesel 6v53 naturals with less than 350hrs since being completely rebuilt. They start right up, run great and smoke free. If maintained properly these naturally aspirated engines can last a lifetime. Unlike their turbo counterparts they are not pushed to their limits and beat on to drain every ounce of horsepower at the expense of reliability. The tranny’s shift properly and all controls operate as they should. The running gear is corrosion free. The bronze props, stainless shafts and struts are in excellent shape and vibration free. With 420hp and 880 ft. / lbs. of torque the boat will cruise at 15-16 knots though almost any condition and max out at around 20kts. Wiring: The boat has been completely rewired to perfection using the highest grade marine wiring though out. On the 110 side from the 2 - 30 amp shore power receptacles to the 110 volt breakers, switches, outlets, lights and 30 amp battery charger and everything in between. On the 12 volt side from the battery cables to the 12 volt breaker panel, switches, gauges, pumps and everything in between was all re-done to perfection. The Tower: Constructed by a true old school craftsman and custom made for this boat, it is a work of art. Installed about 5 years ago it is in near immaculate condition. The towers design, structural integrity and how it is perfectly mounted on the boat is mind boggling. You could probably lift the boat with a helicopter with the proper lines and rigging tied to the tower-LOL. It must be seen in person to truly be appreciated. It is only rivaled by structural integrity of the boat. If you called Atlantic Towers to replicate this tower there is no doubt in my mind it would be atleast 25k-30k installed.Here is a link to a used tinker toy tower compared to this one that the are asking almost 11,500 for and if you look in the link at the spec of the pictures in the tower ad it was over a 40k factory add on when new http://www.ebay.com/itm/HATTERAS-YACHTS-53-CONVERTIBLE-12-1-2-FOOT-ALUMINUM-MARLIN-BOAT-TOWER/141131261043?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D23423%26meid%3D7714795562983720754%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D10050%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D200819663329 The Hull: From the bottom paint to from the rub rail the original gel coat is in excellent condition with barely a nick or ding anywhere and has a beautiful glossy finish. The bottom is in amazing shape. It only has a few coats of bottom paint since all the old paint was removed. Topside was recently painted, shines away and is in very nice condition. Thru- hulls: All thru-hulls have been changed and updated about 10 years ago. They are in great shape / open and close freely and are leak free. The Interior: The interior is in amazing shape. Some of the side walls and ceilings of the interior is actually original Bertram gel coat and have a glossy shine like new. The ceilings in each and every room where they are not the original gel coat were redone few years ago using high end marine fabric and trimmed with teak, they are in mint near flawless condition throughout. This year brand new heavyweight Berber carpet was installed throughout the entire boat. The V-Berth bed and 2 twin bed mattresses were also replaced this year with high end custom fit dense temper pedic type foam beds. They are so comfortable you don’t want to get out of bed in the morning. All new bedding this year and curtains were replaced as well. A few years ago brand new custom made teak cabinets were installed in the salon that hold the built in fridge, kitchen sink, microwave, 2 burner electric stove, stainless toaster oven and has plenty of additional storage as well. In the salon running the entire starboard side all new matching teak panels were also installed. Fuel System / Range: The boat is currently rigged with a 350 gallon fiberglass fuel tank that is in nice shape and leak and issue free. When the engines were rebuilt all new fuel lines were installed throughout. At a mellow cruise of about 14-15 knots your burning around 6-7 gph a side giving you a range of about 300 miles, coming home with about 20% of fuel. There is room to add up to more 3 tanks if you want to extend the range. The forward cockpit hatch which had the old antiquated generator could easily fit a 175-200 gallon tank or if you wanted to save that spot to re-install a generator you could add Saddle tanks on the outside of each engine gaining about 100-125 gal each, depending on your preference. Comforts: There is a built in 12,000 Btu A/C in the salon that cools the whole boat very nicely and also a 5000btu thru hatch portable unit for the forward cabin if you want A/C with the cabin door closed for privacy. There is a brand new hot water heater and its also equipped with a 100 gallon water tank so you have hot and cold water in the shower, bathroom and kitchen sinks. The head, holding tank and all plumbing lines and pumps in between are only a few years old and function as they should. Storage: Throughout the boat is plenty of storage. You can store 6 rods in ceiling of salon and 6 in forward cabin. The Forward cabin has 2 huge carpeted lockers, 2 dry storage areas under the V berth itself at the foot of the bed and under the bed itself. There is also an additional closet in the hall. The second cabin which contains 2 beds has a closet, a huge built in shelved storage area by the lower bunk and a built in night table with plenty of draw space as well. The bathroom has a very large 2 shelved storage area above the sink and plenty of storage below the built in sink set up as well. Lighting: Throughout the boat there is a mix of 12 volt and 110 lighting in each cabin area. All running, cabin and spreader lights operate as they should.

You can spin her on a dime. This is because the chines are above the water where they won’t dig in. In high speed turns, her outside chine rises well clear of the water where it won’t catch and trip, while her longitudinal steps stop side slips. LESS ROLL – In a Beam sea, the boat is very stable because the V sections develop a strong righting action. Longitudinal steps act as bilge keels which dampen roll. The boat also sits proportionally deeper and is less disturbed by surface waves. Steers easy in following Sea –Because the Bertram has neither flat sections aft nor a sharp forefoot she performs very well steering in following seas at high or low speeds or trying to get in the inlet on a bad day. Unlike the flat aft sections of many conventional hulls that will pitch forward, yaw or even broach in bad weather. Softer ride –Due to the hull design not having an aft planning surface to jolt and jar the boat, the boat will ride more easily through rough seas and be able to cruise comfortably at considerable higher speeds than conventional boats of the same size. Drier Ride– The Bertram’s longitudinal steps throw water out low and flat where it won’t blow back aboard.

PLEASE NOTE - THE BOAT WAS HAULED OUT A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO HURRICANE SANDY AND SUSTAINED NO DAMAGE. INCLUDED IN THE AUCTION PRICE IS STORAGE THROUGH THE 8/31/14 IF YOU CHOOSE TO KEEP THE BOAT AT THE MARINA. (Storage thereafter is $200 month) I WILL DELIVER THE BOAT BY WATER PERSONALLY TO THE NEWARK NEW JERSEY PORT FOR THE PRICE OF FUEL FOR INTERNATIONL BUYERS. WILL SELL WITH THE TOWER FOR AN ADDITONAL $15,000 Please let me know and I will adjust the ebay auction buy-it-now price. Note tower will remain on boat till sold Up for Auction is a very rare find no less in this kind of condition. The Bertram 38 is one of the best sport fish hull designs ever made. The Cadillac of fishing machines. This boat has been cared for its entire life and it shows. It has been re-fit and updated in almost every possible way over the last 10 years. From engines to exhaust tips, wiring, lighting, outlets, gauges, paint, cabinetry, ceilings, carpet, bedding, The Tower, the list could go on and on and on. A small fortune and many many hours have been spent upgrading this boat in almost every possible way. Pretty much the only thing left from 1965 is a bullet proof hull with the structural integrity of a Sherman tank that rides like a Cadillac in almost any sea condition. Structural integrity –The structural integrity of this boat is beyond comprehension and description in words. The one piece hull is made up of layer upon layer of hand laid heavy thick fiberglass and resin and is probably 3 times stronger than anything you can find today and twice as thick as any hull that has been made in the last 30 years. Looking inside the hull you see results of and the definition of true craftsmanship and the pride that went into building this boat. Something you could never find today at any price. The strength of this hull provides a serious extra measure of safetyin the event you encounter any floating debris like a telephone pole or tree. The keel of this boat could probably withstand a major impact that would crack the hull and sink most other boats. If you properly installed a sharp angled piece of heavy steel on the forward entry point where the hull first hits the water….. you most probably could get the ABS (Amercian Bureau of Shipping) approval to change the boats rating to “ICE BREAKER” class-LOL. PLEASE SEE 3 LINKS TO 188 ADDITIONAL PICTURES OF THE BOAT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EBAY ADVERTISEMENT Engines: Powered by economical Twin Detroit Diesel 6v53 naturals with less than 350hrs since being completely rebuilt. They start right up, run great and smoke free. If maintained properly these naturally aspirated engines can last a lifetime. Unlike their turbo counterparts they are not pushed to their limits and beat on to drain every ounce of horsepower at the expense of reliability. The tranny’s shift properly and all controls operate as they should. The running gear is corrosion free. The bronze props, stainless shafts and struts are in excellent shape and vibration free. With 420hp and 880 ft. / lbs. of torque the boat will cruise at 15-16 knots though almost any condition and max out at around 20kts. Wiring: The boat has been completely rewired to perfection using the highest grade marine wiring though out. On the 110 side from the 2 - 30 amp shore power receptacles to the 110 volt breakers, switches, outlets, lights and 30 amp battery charger and everything in between. On the 12 volt side from the battery cables to the 12 volt breaker panel, switches, gauges, pumps and everything in between was all re-done to perfection. The Tower: NOT INCLUDED IN THE 25K AUCTION PRICEConstructed by a true old school craftsman and custom made for this boat, it is a work of art. Installed about 5 years ago it is in near immaculate condition. The towers design, structural integrity and how it is perfectly mounted on the boat is mind boggling. You could probably lift the boat with a helicopter with the proper lines and rigging tied to the tower-LOL. It must be seen in person to truly be appreciated. It is only rivaled by structural integrity of the boat. If you called Atlantic Towers to replicate this tower there is no doubt in my mind it would be atleast 25k-30k installed.Here is a link to a used tinker toy tower compared to this one that the are asking almost 11,500 for and if you look in the link at the spec of the pictures in the tower ad it was over a 40k factory add on when new http://www.ebay.com/itm/HATTERAS-YACHTS-53-CONVERTIBLE-12-1-2-FOOT-ALUMINUM-MARLIN-BOAT-TOWER/141131261043?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D23423%26meid%3D7714795562983720754%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D10050%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D200819663329 The Hull: From the bottom paint to from the rub rail the original gel coat is in excellent condition with barely a nick or ding anywhere and has a beautiful glossy finish. The bottom is in amazing shape. It only has a few coats of bottom paint since all the old paint was removed. Topside was recently painted, shines away and is in very nice condition. Thru- hulls: All thru-hulls have been changed and updated about 10 years ago. They are in great shape / open and close freely and are leak free. The Interior: The interior is in amazing shape. Some of the side walls and ceilings of the interior is actually original Bertram gel coat and have a glossy shine like new. The ceilings in each and every room where they are not the original gel coat were redone few years ago using high end marine fabric and trimmed with teak, they are in mint near flawless condition throughout. This year brand new heavyweight Berber carpet was installed throughout the entire boat. The V-Berth bed and 2 twin bed mattresses were also replaced this year with high end custom fit dense temper pedic type foam beds. They are so comfortable you don’t want to get out of bed in the morning. All new bedding this year and curtains were replaced as well. A few years ago brand new custom made teak cabinets were installed in the salon that hold the built in fridge, kitchen sink, microwave, 2 burner electric stove, stainless toaster oven and has plenty of additional storage as well. In the salon running the entire starboard side all new matching teak panels were also installed. Fuel System / Range: The boat is currently rigged with a 350 gallon fiberglass fuel tank that is in nice shape and leak and issue free. When the engines were rebuilt all new fuel lines were installed throughout. At a mellow cruise of about 14-15 knots your burning around 6-7 gph a side giving you a range of about 300 miles, coming home with about 20% of fuel. There is room to add up to more 3 tanks if you want to extend the range. The forward cockpit hatch which had the old antiquated generator could easily fit a 175-200 gallon tank or if you wanted to save that spot to re-install a generator you could add Saddle tanks on the outside of each engine gaining about 100-125 gal each, depending on your preference. Comforts: There is a built in 12,000 Btu A/C in the salon that cools the whole boat very nicely and also a 5000btu thru hatch portable unit for the forward cabin if you want A/C with the cabin door closed for privacy. There is a brand new hot water heater and its also equipped with a 100 gallon water tank so you have hot and cold water in the shower, bathroom and kitchen sinks. The head, holding tank and all plumbing lines and pumps in between are only a few years old and function as they should. Storage: Throughout the boat is plenty of storage. You can store 6 rods in ceiling of salon and 6 in forward cabin. The Forward cabin has 2 huge carpeted lockers, 2 dry storage areas under the V berth itself at the foot of the bed and under the bed itself. There is also an additional closet in the hall. The second cabin which contains 2 beds has a closet, a huge built in shelved storage area by the lower bunk and a built in night table with plenty of draw space as well. The bathroom has a very large 2 shelved storage area above the sink and plenty of storage below the built in sink set up as well. Lighting: Throughout the boat there is a mix of 12 volt and 110 lighting in each cabin area. All running, cabin and spreader lights operate as they should.

You can spin her on a dime. This is because the chines are above the water where they won’t dig in. In high speed turns, her outside chine rises well clear of the water where it won’t catch and trip, while her longitudinal steps stop side slips. LESS ROLL – In a Beam sea, the boat is very stable because the V sections develop a strong righting action. Longitudinal steps act as bilge keels which dampen roll. The boat also sits proportionally deeper and is less disturbed by surface waves. Steers easy in following Sea –Because the Bertram has neither flat sections aft nor a sharp forefoot she performs very well steering in following seas at high or low speeds or trying to get in the inlet on a bad day. Unlike the flat aft sections of many conventional hulls that will pitch forward, yaw or even broach in bad weather. Softer ride –Due to the hull design not having an aft planning surface to jolt and jar the boat, the boat will ride more easily through rough seas and be able to cruise comfortably at considerable higher speeds than conventional boats of the same size. Drier Ride– The Bertram’s longitudinal steps throw water out low and flat where it won’t blow back aboard. I COULD GO ON AND ON FOR ANOTHER FEW PAGES BUT I WILL STOP MYSELF-LOL Bottom Line: I hate to sell her and would love to keep her but my 58 Hatteras is way too jealous of all the attention the Bertram has been getting lately, so I have to let her go. This boat will only be sold to someone who will appreciate her as I and her previous owners have. I reserve the right to cancel the sale if I feel you do not appreciate the boat.I’m open to a reasonable offer for a quick deal or possibly an interesting trade.
