"BERTRAM" name plates

Some SOB decided to steal the BERTRAM name plates from Triton II. Left the 31's, so it wasn't a steward, of course. But, the easy conclusion is a Bertram owner. Miserable security in the yard.
Anyway, I need replacements, preferably stainless steel. Where should I look for 'em?
In the meantime, the area behind the old name plates gets a much needed polish and wax!
Thanks for any help.

Jerry,

sorry about your misfortune. You should have stayed at Hudson Point and commuted. I left my digital camera on my dock box one day. Got it back 2 weeks later. Plus Dave has video cameras looking everywhere.

Jerry,

I just called Richard Sabatini (The Midas Touch) on your behalf (one of Patrick's original sponsers), and he said he still carries the Bertram Eagle, but he no longer carries the nameplate. I can't remember the name of the outfit in Australia that carries the SS version, but someone else will probably post it. Sorry I struck out.

You might keep an eye out on ebay for a NJ seller selling a Bertram nameplate. Come to think of it, maybe you better not.

Danny at High Tide may have them. The Aussie place is Gameboats in Sydney, www.gameboats.com.au and their website still shows them in the Online Store at $90 AU a pop. I got mine there and they are solid stainless and also they have the numbers and eagle in stainless. The price & exchange rate has more than doubled since I got mine in the late 90s.

I feel your pain. Someone took mine over the winter as well. I'm not sure if High Tide still has them, but that was where I got them a few years ago.

Thanks, all,
Charlie, let me have that 220 circuit diagram! I'll rig it up as winter protection.
Harv, I miss Hudson Point for a lot of reasons, including a much quicker run to the open ocean.
Wonder if I should visit a few if the local flea markets with a baseball bat?
With the Canadian dollar worth more than the US for the first time in a long while, the AUS dollar can't be far behind. I'll try them first. Thanks UV.
Any other suggestions are welcom, too.
Expect to launch (with or without the "BERTRAM" name plates) next week.

Danny at High Tide has them. He sends me a set every year for the Mid-Atlantic Rendezvous.

Charlie-Think he'll send a set for the Northeast one? I don't want to overwhelm the friends of our site. Walter

Give Danny a call. He has been most gracious with the Mid-Atlantic Event. Danny is good guy and gets a lot of our business. Seem he is willing to give back to our efforts. I always recommend High Tide for their good service and quality products.
