Hi Waggles , I have a Bertram 37 with 2 x 6 V 92's except for the exhaust noice i am very happy with those. You need the HP because it is a heavy boat. Fuel consumption is 30- 35 gallon per hour doing 20-23 Knts. if you have more questions feel free ! :) http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g475/Gert...

I will miss the beauty of her to...! what me also made help to decide was , that my old boat had gassers with 1500 hours on them , and the new one has the Detroit 6v92 DD"s with only 650 hours on them. The former owner had the boat in the water for only 1 month per year , ( she has never been slept ...

Gert van Leest

The Bertram dealer CNB Villenova in st Tropez was in love with my boat and we swept . Now the 37 is on transport and I ...

Gert van Leest

Gert

Gert van Leest

Gert van Leest

Gert van Leest

be adviced , that the paint dries faster on your boat than on the tape.. I do not want to know why :)

Gert van Leest

A nightmare......I wish you good luck getting it clean.

good luck !!

Gert

Gert van Leest

Gert van Leest

the guy is right , you MUST aply the antifouling before the epoxypaint is dry !
Gert

Gert van Leest
