Do you think this guy is really going to get anything near wht he is asking for this boat? I think he's dreaming.

Did you redo the tank and keep it? If so how much did it run ya?

We love our 26. Huge cockpit. Fast, solid, rides great, not too wet. I owned center consoles previously, but I was always a big open cockpit guy.

First off your post is a little confusing. Exactly what is the boat you are looking at? “Moppie” in Bertram lore generally means a runabout configuration. Small foredeck over a cuddy and a windshield behind that. Otherwise and open boat in the classic runabout configuration. “Sport Fish” us...

I am a center console outboa...
