hull info

[coolair]

hey just wondering
has anyone had any luck getting info from Bertram about their boat, like original engines or options, etc i called a couple times but with no luck

[In Memory Walter K]

I called about Hull #'s and could only get approximate dates. Most records are gone. This site is probably more accurate than anyone there now. Several of the guys have original ads, brochures, etc. Early gassers were Chrysler 318's, then 440's, then Mercruisers if I am not mistaken. Original Sportsfisherman ran about $30,000. Walter

I have some brochures and a price list for late 60's, early 70's. It shows boat and options. I'll try to remember it tomorrow and scan some pages.

Ya i figure, a guy told me they had it but it was on microfiche in a warehouse somewhere. Mine is a 69 and whom ever did the rebuild put chrysler 460s in it, so i am guessing it had chrysler 440s to begin with. mine is like #854 i think

i think the original price was closer to 16,000 in 1961---i think i have some info in my office will recheck.

A couple of years ago I was searching for info on my 1983 B33.. I spoke with Don Flippen at Bertram's main office and he emailed me a scanned copy of the original builder's yellow "Manufacture's Statement Of Origin".
He was very helpful.

In 1966 my Bahia Mar was 17,500. in todays dollars about 250,000.

Ya, an 80s model is probably alot easiyer than a 60s model, would just be cool to know all the history
