Bertram decal

[Yannis]

My B 28 has a "Bertram" decal on the side which is (and looks) a bit too big. I suspect it should be an addition/substitution by a previous owner.
What was the original Bertram logo on the sides for the 28?
Where can I find a " V " with the eagle sign; did those come in one size fit all, or do I have to see what size is appropriate too? I would need 2 of those.
Thanks.

AFAIK the original emblems were not decals but rather actual metal emblems... I see many Bertram decals on eBay... The original emblems MIGHT be had from http://www.hightidemarine.cc/burgees.htm

As I understand it, Hightide Marine purchased all the old stocks from Bertram... FWIW, I doubt they made a different size for each model... At most, I suspect, they would have used 3 sizes (small, medium and large)...

I bought my 1979 28 from the original owner, who made no modifications during the time he owned it, so I assume that when I got it it was the way it came from the factory. It has no decal or Bertram V on the cabin sides, just the words "Bertram 28" in a metal casting. The originals pitted, so I replaced them with the stainless ones from Hi Tide.

Thank you guys.

As you can see in the picture, the bertram logo is a bit too big and there is no 28 mention; i suspect it came from a 42 or similar size model.

Nav, thanks, as I can see though there are many ...interpretations of the original; those stainless ones are too shiny imho for a boat like this.

Tooeez, have you got any pic of the Bertram 28 s/s that you purchased?

Thanks.

I'll go take a picture now and post it later. It looks like from your picture that the letters are the same size, but in a different place. Mine are lower and further aft.

[Tooeez]

OK, I have the photos saved on my computer. Can anyone tell me how to post them?

Thank you.

BTW as I was glancing through some pics of other 28's I've noticed the logo being placed 30 cm from the stern on the sides. Was this an original position?

[Tooeez]

OK, it took a while but I figured out how to post the pictures (Thank you Capt. Patrick). Yannis, the letters are 1.5 inches high (approximately 37mm)

Thank you Tooeez, nice clean boat you've got there !!

May I ask you what material is that of the inner side panels that show in the pic ?

Yannis: It looks to me that you have the standard size Bertram Logo. I purchased a pair from High Tide Marine last spring as part of a paint/spruce up project on my "85 FBC. Don't ask what I paid for them! I removed a pair of the Bertram Eagle "V" insignia which were on the flybridge. You can have them. Just let me know how to get them to you. E-mail me at lhsavage@dbsattorneys.com. Regards, Leigh

Yannis, I replaced the inner panels with 1/4 inch Starboard in seafoam color. Three years now and I like it a lot; very tough and easy to clean.

[Yannis]

Thank you Leigh and Tooeez.

I wonder however what this "Starboard" material is called over here!!

Yannis,

King Starboard is a brand name of one manufacturer for high density polyethylene... Just look for marine grade HDPE.

Thank you Captain.
