What is this?

[David Davidson]

Saw this today in Sardinia. Never seen one like it. Anyone else? Was this a factory model or has it been modified?

David, looks interesting but I can't manipulate the photo to blow it up for a closer look. Can you email the photos to my gmail account: tdrake31@

Thanks

If you click or touch on the pic, you can download the original photo. It's much bigger.

Dave,
Kind of looks like a early Riveria or a Anna Capi either that or a custom 38' Bertram FBC

Hard to tell from the pics, but I am pretty certain it is a Colombo 32 Super Indios. They made one that looks just like an enlarged version of the Riva Bertram 25. Few made and beautiful boat.

Most were hardtops, and a few were flybridge. The interior and layout is so similar to the Riva Bertram that there must have been some collaboration.

It says "Sport Fisherman 31" on the side in the same style writing as a Bertram 31 badge.

If I am right, the full name is Super Indio 32 Sport Fisherman. And yes, clearly a lot of Bertram influence

Just noticed, it was made as a 31 as well.

I agree with Lars: 32 Super Indios HT. My guess is that someone who appreciates the "Bertram" name simply applied an emblem on the boat. I also agree that the design of the hull and lifting strakes was influenced by Bertram.
