Yes Bertramp, I am manufacturing stainless steel surrounds and using 1/4 inch grey Perspex. Thankfully I am a sheet metal worker by trade so it is a cheap exercise.

Thank you everyone for your input, I have no doubt what vintage she is now. These US built Bertram's are rare as rocking horse shit is Australia. Most of the Bertram's here in OZ are a Carribean Bertram built locally.

I am not sure how many traditionalists will think this is wrong, but I have reshaped the side cabin windows in my B20 Bahia Mar as the rectangular shape just did not appeal to me at all. I notice Ian Upton does not have any at all and it looks excellent. The boat didn't have any name plates at all w...

Love the picture Jimmy, I had a good laugh. After a day in the sun she would come in handy for a night time glow stick.

I don't know many adults that weigh 150 lbs, I think 4 persons maximum or fishing but 3 would be the perfect number. I never really gave the 150lbs weight a second thought, but yes I think our indulgent life styles have certainly changed the averages a lot.

Thank you for information CaptPatrick, Its nice to know the history of these spectacular boats.

Hi Harry,
I hope I haven't offended anyone from Alabama.

Can some one please help to identify the year of my Aussie imported B20 Bahia Mar?
Thanks Chris.

Hi Harry, I think you still have a fair bit of work to do on your Aussie accent How yall doin??" should be: How Ya Goin fellas or Geday Lads Whats Happenin or just EH Fellas "How's yo mum en nem?" Translates to Hows your old Lady Goin or Hows The Old Chook. If you get me jist by the time you get her...

G'day Harry, How Ya Doin Mate?
Yes I am in the fabulous land down under. What can I do for you? I happy to help if I can, post your Email Address and I will reply.

Hi Todd,
Sometimes I think New Zealand is just too close.

Thanks Chris.

Thank you for the views and feed back. I don't plan on sleeping in the cabin it will be used for gear storage, Its very warm here in sunny Queensland Australia and we usually sleep on the floor. The stringers and bulk heads were soaked with everdure and glassed before installation, I then glassed th...

Thanks for the information Pete, there were no numbers on the original transom or on the inner hull. http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w635/chrisw34/20131207_055353_zps61802f66.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w635/chrisw34/20131201_080301_zpsb02596ae.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums...

Thank you for the upload information Peter. http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w635/chrisw34/20131124_105056_zpse8fc4a41.jpg This was taken in October. I would like to find out the year it was built. The guy I bought this off was convinced it was mid 1990s (no idea), he knew it was a Bertram and th...

Hi My name is Chris, I am from Queensland Australia. I bought this old Bertram 20 Bahia Mar with an aluminium outboard pod 2 years ago. It was in really bad shape with a wet transom and the floor had lifted from the stringers. The gel coat was pitted like a cheese grater like nothing I had ever seen...

Hi Ian,
I am a new member to this site from Australia, and currently restoring a Bahia Mar with outboard conversion. Yours looks awesome, it looks like you have paid great attention to detail. Well Done!
