Welcome aboard.
Many here were lurkers at one time. Some even outside the windows of their neighbors home.

Welcome to the brotherhood (or sandbox as some see it)!...
BTW, luckily for me (soon enough), owning a Bertram 31 or even any other Bertram is NOT a requirement...

Be careful, Eagles 17; it's like "Hotel California" around here: once the Bertram bug bites, you check in but you can't check out. Welcome aboard!

Welcome. Congratulations on your new purchase. As I am sure you know by now, you can ask any question, there are no bad ones.
Just be careful of a guy named Mike. He likes to be mean from time to time.

Great choice, got my B26 FBSF almost 25 yrs ago. I get just as many complements now as I did back then.

Angel 111 is now Canadian got the registration yesterday.
Both engines are both running great starboard was tough to start but half a tank of fresh gas and it runs like a top.
The survey was good recomended change port engine fuel line and tidy up the bilge pump wires.
The wife loves her and was well worth the wait.
We are both looking forward to cruising up the coast to see you hope you are getting a chance to give your 28 some love.
Thanks again for bringing her back to BC.

I was amazed that I could get them to run at all on 8 year-old gas. Thanks goodness she never saw ethanol!
I am sure you won't have any surprises; she was a great, honest boat. Just needs some use and care, and you'll provide plenty of that!
I am so glad your wife's intuition was matched by the reality. I wish you many happy years with her…
Cheers!
John
