Nice set up Steve.
What exactly are we looking at there?
At first I thought it was a highly customized, single engine b25... but it aint. Seems too big as well.
She's got a little tumblehome, but also has the 'carolina style' rub rail protrusions (don't know the proper name) right above the water line near the stearn...which I've never seen on any Bertram, but would be easy enough to make.
Blackfin? Or what? I'm stumped.

If I had to guess, and did not even look at the link, I would say it is a 26' Ridgeway with a single diesel. I cheated a little, cause I had looked at buying the boat before Steve did!

I am pretty sure Dusky bought the mold years ago and dusted it off recently as an outboard version
