The 42' convertible on the "sell&swap" portal prompted this thread.
Last fall I was taking a party over to Fire Island for a barbrcue and as one gal got aboard she asked if this was a Bertram.

I said, "Yes".
Then she repiled, "Sally here just sold a Bertram".
"What model was it?"
" A 42' convertile".
"Impressive".

The next day I mentioned the sale to a friend who coud not sell his boat.
"Yeah, she sold it for $$40,000US and the boat was very sharp. It was a fire sale".

Turns out she got a divorce and when splitting the assets, she got the boat at $150,000US and figuered she'd sell it for $180,000US.
Well, she couldn't and finally gave it away. The husband knew and he screwed her ...... again!

Looks to me like she DID NOT do her homework! ! !

Funny how emotions and the desire to keep the upper hand override sanity common sense.

From the outside looking in I'd say that she was successful in her divorcing efforts.........she kept him from getting the boat! ! !

Lesson here is to DO YOUR homework......I think she screwed herself.
