Here is a link to the pictures of Mike's 1962 Express Black Sheep damaged during Hurricane Ike down in Texas.
I'm not computer literate enough to post exact link, but if you type in: customerservice@certifiedsales.com then scroll down to new arrivals section and click on 1962 Bertram it will open. It's sad to see pictures of our freinds damaged boats, I know Mike put a lot of time into her.

Damn, that had to take a good hit on the bottom to put that piling thru on the bottom of Black Sheep, considering it was a 62 model. That's one tuff hull being a 60's model.

Sorry to see that Capt. Mike.

This is too gut wrenching. Mike sorry for the loss.

Charlie,

I would assume it would be so that you can check the exhaust output which looks to be blocked by the swim platform.


Mike,

Sad pictures indeed. I feel your pain my friend.

I know it looks bad and is heart sickening to see yo baby in damaged condition........but she is in no way ready for the "Crusher"

Some young entergetic wanna be Bertram owner would probably kill to own "Black Sheep"......even in her current condition..........

Its still sad to see, but not gone for good
