Hint 2: much smaller than a toilet seat (I'm flying from the boat in Fl up to NY... not packing toilet seats :-)

Hint 3: could be considered "bling" (yes, the factory stuck bling in our heads!)

Rex...custom tp holders with Bertram logos..? BH

Its a weekend that I had unfortunately planned to be working upstate, but a friend of mine is interested in buying a 25 and thought the Rendzevous might be an opportunity to see and talk about them. If so I might be able to get free and shoot over from Sag Harbor on Sat in my 25 and bring him along if that's possible.

John

John ... Sag Harbor ?? Is your 25 on a mooring east of Havens (Tides) beach ?

Bertramp,

Yes that's me east of Havens Beach. "Retriever"
Got it in the water early this year compared to last year when my summer time on the boat was mostly working on it in the driveway.
So far this year everything works, but still doing cosmetics my wife insists on - like seats.

Pish posh..... seats......

Get a bucket. You can sit on it, pee in it, poop in it, puke in it, wash the deck with it, bail the boat with it, use it as a sea anchor, and 100 other things.

Launched with one seat and two buckets. Trying to improve from there.
Wife gets nervous when I open it up with nothing to hang onto.

Does anyone know if there will be any 25s at the Rendevous?

Great to meet you! For whatever reason I didn't put you, your boat and your screen name together. I hope the trip through the city was great!

A few more pics from Greenport :

Great time had by all some new faces..proper initiation with Bertram juice..sweet rides and good people..look forward to seeing everyone next year.
Heard a great rendition of kill the wabbit by brew... BH

One of these years I will make it. Maybe next year, as it looks like that due to my company moving south, I may be retiring sooner than I anticipated.

Good to hear a good time was had by all. Glad everyone is home safe.

Ah, you took the river route back. It's really much more impressive at night, but did you like it?

it was a site to see even in the day had never been before so wanted to try in the day for the first time
and holy current 3k rpms making just over 15 knots

Current rips...if you went on the outgoing you could have hit 24knts...

I remember when I escorted a swim team around Manhattan and one of the swimmers swam in the same spot for his one hour shift, right around Hell's Gate. I had my engines in gear at 1500 rpm just to stay in the same spot as the swimmer.

Gif getting geared up for a swig of Bertram Juice..those who were in Greenport a few years ago will remember why he needs the PFD..too funny Gif, Neil n Cathy got a kick out of it as well...A classic...BH

Love it, thanks for the pics guys!

Now that's funny Giff.......but like Bob said.....to really appreciate "You just have had to been there"......and to think, he did not even spill his drink! ! !

Really missed being there this year......I'm gonna need a "Raincheck"

Lets go get the old 31 in the water and maybe next year we both can make it. Not by land but by water.

Phoenix left sunday morning after many handshakes and see you next year comments.we went to Shelter Island and spent the rest of weekend enjoying the peaceful surrounding and BBQ fresh corn and scrimp . My son develop the one man crew with bungee cords to take down outriggers,antennas to go under railroad bridge on Shennencock canal ,all went well clear by 8" and had to drift under bridge. A disaster when i arrive home and called broker for sea trial somebody slip in with out survey,sea trial and at full price .this 37' Bertram is a project boat but my wife was looking forward to removing entire interior and redo.this broker does go by a handshake! I will look in to this act of deceit! Then again a NY used car dealer attitude is typical of NY broker. This is not sweet home Alabama where a hand shake is honor!
