1959 Ray Hunt 23ft Fiberglass Prototype?

I am always looking for the next project. It sure does look a mini 31 Bertram.

Any thoughts?

I was under the impression that the original tender that Richard Bertram saw that eventually became the 31 was made of wood. I could be wrong.

Captbone,

She looks very elegant.
It is my impression that one could tell her age by the heavily curved lifting strakes...

I've seen those strakes on THT. There is a build thread somewhere on that site.

Found it!

Likely an O'Day 23.

Captbone - here is a link to the previous discussion I made on the 23 with a link to an article on the boat. http://www.bertram31.com/newbb/viewtopi ... 87#p115987

Cam - you beat me to it, the boat look identical to one I posted a while back. Ian Upton and I both tired to buy that 23 you posted the link to (I think). I know I did. I am glad to see the guy making progress on it.

This one look like like a bigger project than the one being done on Hull Truth. Good luck if you decide to go forward and if you do, come back and post pictures. They are super cool boats, but I'm admittedly partial to the lines.

You guys are good!!!!! That has to be it.

Very impressive. You guys know your stuff.

I am passing on it if anyone wants it.

I still wish I had bought the one from Florida.

Ian.
