bertram31.com

Have machine to make fancy stickers. Need ideas. What would you like to see. I will make up whatever is most popular idea. ie RDLT Driver, Berts Rule, 31 reasons to love a boat. You tell me Ill make them.

I'd let Timmy pull the RLDT slogan, I'm sure there are a few ideas only he can articulate.

"Old Dog Same Tricks Bertram 31"
"At least I don't own a Hatteras -Bertram 31"
"Its blowin we're goin Bertram 31"

Then there is the classic:

" Best Boat Ever Built- Bertram 31"

"old dog, same crap Bertram31"?? JP I like that one.
" yea it's the best boat ever built, just ask UV"
" bertram 31, when old age hasn't done enough damage to your body"

I'd like to see a Bertram "V" with the eagle for a truck rear window sticker....like all those Harley folks. Not too big, about 6"-8" would be classy.

Scot

Brewster,
I have one that has the Bertram "V" and says:
"My other ride is a 31 Bertram"

bertram 31, when old age hasn't done enough damage to your body

Now thats funny.

Hey Timmy, how bout this one,

Bertram 31, cause I can't afford a Hatteras.

"The Classic Deep V / Bertram31"

"Ride the Eagle / Bertram31"

"Thank God its a Bertram31"

"When The Eagle Flys/ Its a Bertram 31"

"Drive-it-Deep / On a Bertam 31"

Timmy, sounds like you have a new recruit named Bruce. Oh well, nobody likes being alone. Best of luck to ya'll's new alliance.

Scot

Bruce, problem is most of these guys can not only buy and sell me with just thier tax bills, but they really could afford to upgrade to a Hatt.
No accounting for poor taste. You can lead a dog to water , but you can't make him driink. Even the old beauty in the eye BS is hard to apply to the RLDT crowd.

Doug you need to get a different job if you've got enough time to think up those lame a*s stickers.

I do like the
"Bertram 31, when old age hasn't done enough damage to your body"
T-shirts and bumper stickers for everyone

I like scot's idea, 4'' to 6" would be the size i like.

One of the best shirts I ever got (rendezvous back in the '80's) showed a 35 coming off the crest of a twelve footer and about to drop unceremoniously into the trough. The caption, of course, "Thank God it's a Bertram."
Like the truck idea.
I still have "Best boat ever built" license plate frames on the truck and my car.
Agree with Scott (I think) don't make them too big. When you're the best and the world knows it, no need to yell.
Reputation is something that other create for you.
Aah! The mind is starting to work again. The Doctor took me off narcotics yesterday, the creep.

I would mention that my "Ideal" truck rear window sticker would ONLY contain the V & Eagle, no text....this keeps us 25, 20, 26, 28, 33, etc. owners happy to partake.

Although we all love (except Timmy) the 31's we don't all own them for various reasons, But we do own Bertrams.

I agree with Mikey, you don't "have" to say what it stands for. Anyone that doesn't know, doesn't need to know. To all the rest the V & eagle says it all.

You can lead a dog to water , but you can't make him driink.

You can lead some dogs to salt water, and they'll drink until they die....

Or fall off a bar stool! Duuuuuuu......... Hint?, Hint?

Doug

now your getting me worked up you big ol'meanny

here's another one for you Brewster

"It's a Bertram thing"

Here's another lame one for Timmy,

Got Proctology /Got Hatteras

These are for real below this.

The V on the bottom with the eagle just above then the numbers 31 above that.

Legends never die / Bertram 31

The bumper sticker idea is great. I have a sticker on my truck that says:
MY OTHER TRUCK IS A
31 BERTRAM
I'm a redneck farmer b31 owner, I also have a bumper sticker on one of my trucks that says: TRUCKS ARE RED - TRACTORS ARE GREEN.

Idea:

Bertram 31 - not a legend...I own one

love being in the saddle----------------
my bike---my bertram---my blonde

My buddy owns a sign shop, he had one of his guys draw the Bertram logo then cut it out in vinyl that looks like the glass was sandblasted, this one has been on this truck for 3 years. [img][img]http://www.fquick.com/images/vehicles/full/20815818.jpg[/img][/img]

I want one...a bit smaller please. How much do you think he would charge. Brewster, can you make one like that?

Mac!

Thats cool!

Dug

Free to the Faithful if I am smart enough to figure out how. The machine can do it I on the other hand am mentaly impaired but will proceed.

About a six or seven inch wing span. I'll take three.

how about like the 1982 shoot out the tee shirts were Hatterass and Hemeroids, only assholes have them

IIRC the logo is copy righted or a registered trade mark.

Might want to call and ask if its okay to reproduce it.

Party pooper....I was wondering when that would come up.

As long as it's complimentary to the brand, and not sold commercially, just given away to the Faithful, even with the promise of a minor donation to support this site, I doubt the Bertram Yacht folks would mind, but of course I don't speak for them.

I still like the license plate holder motto, "Best Boat Ever Built" with "Bertram 31" under that. Got a pair on my old Tahoe to this day.

UV

Vic,
Your probably right. Most anything associated with this site has been very complimentary to Bertram to say the least.
But out of respect to the brand, it would be proper to ask.

It might cause a stir at one of the rondevous if a corp exec saw the stickers on a table with a price tag. Not worth losing their support over.

Scot,
Not trying to be a party pooper although it is listed as a skill on my resume.
Everything on this board has been up to now conducted with the utmost in professionalism and courtesy to the Bertram brand.

Wouldn't want to stop now.
All they may require is a possible registered logo mark after the v/bird.

Most printing companies will not reproduce a corporate logo without a signed release anymore due to lawsuits.

One guy driving around with the logo on his window most likely will not garner notice. A stack of bumper stickers on a table with a 5 bucks sign will.

Wonder if this guy got permission? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/My-Other ... 2019QQrdZ1

On a unrelated note,
Bruce, just curious what is your forum signature all about?

Mac,

Doubtful that he does... At $1.99 each, there's no margin for a royalty to Bertram. It's also highly doubtful that Bertram would grant consent anyway.

This site was only up and running for a few short weeks before I had an email from Don Jones about using their logo. Because of the obvious advantage to Bertram to have a "Fan Club" of their most famous hull model, permission was granted with the only restriction that I include a disclaimer that bertram31.com is not affiliated with the Bertram Factory & that the logo is registered property of Bertram Yachts.

I would imagine that when & if the Ebay guy gets found out, he'll be getting a note from Don also, and with far less diplomacy...

Bruce's sigs?? Well, they change from time to time and are almost always designed to provoke or entertain, depending on how thin skinned the reader might be... Hey, after all, he's a key member of "The Mean Team"

Br,

Patrick

..

Sooooooo, What's the bumper sticker gonna be?

Hey, we're their best sales staff. Bet if we hold our heads just right they'll do them for us and give'em to us.
Sorry, must be the drugs.
Had the Bride drive me to Dreamsicle and climbed the ladder on crutches. Started making chronilogical plans. Don't tell my Doc.

I guess I need to ask if its ok before I make them. I was just going to give them away to the Faithful but I do not need any problems or people calling up on me. I am sorry guys but I must recind the offer at this time.

Brewaster
Don't give up. Ask Bertram, bet they say Okey dokey. U.V. should have a contact person. Worth a shot.

I'll make a call tomorrow.

UV

U.V.
You da man.

Take a look at this note on the B33 forum.. If Bertram can use the graphics the 33 guys created I would imagine they would let you guys use their logo...

http://www.bertram33.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=945

I will look into it.

I just spoke to Don and they have no objection whatsoever.

Go for it.....probably a good idea to let me look at the design first.

UV

Sorry guys but I have been very ill and will get the stickers done asap and will have them OKed by UV. Sorry but not much I could do.

Brewster, I still like the "Bertram 31, when old age hasn't done enough damage to your body" Would you please make some up for me??? pretty please. I'm going to try and have t-shirts made up like that for the bert/hatt shoot out at montauk

Timmmy, Put me down for a medium, even if I don't get to Montauk.

Brewster- I hope you're feeling better. Being bedridden is a lousy way to spend the Holidays. Walter

Mikey, your in........

timmy send us a pm with your address jr and i got some cool bertam shirts for xmas
