TOPIC: This one was a "no-brainer"

Well, here's the latest: 1969 Bertram 25 sport fisherman, twin 470 4-cylinder inboards...so no outdrives getting in the way of landing fish! Everything is original and complete, engines pickled a few years ago...$2,500. What am I going to do with it? Hell...I don't know. I live in the mountains but I was bombarded by just too much logic.

Those Bertrams were great boats. Saw a lot of them in use offshore in Florida years back. Real fishing machines.

I'm in that same logic loop as you. Got my eye on a Wellcraft V20 that was down to $3,000 and is now $2,800 obo. My problem is, there's not a lot of big water in New Mexico for a rig this size. But what a boat for the money. (but that rocket launcher would have to go)

Nautilis,

CONGRADS! NICE! And we're going after marlin, when?

Unfortunately, the marlin haven't been biting in Lake Keowee for quite awhile. However, the Bertram will allow me a place to sleep during the times I'm kicked out of the house for "bad behavior." Isn't it strange how a woman marries you for who you are and then spends the rest of her life trying to change you? Just look at me...What else could a women want? I don't get it.

I just don't know. You buy her a real nice boat like that and they just don't seem to appreciate it. Next time buy her a new toaster or something I guess.

Robert-lorigan,

OR perhaps an IRONING BOARD or a brand new MOP BUCKET?????

Heck buy her something that will get used (who uses a ironing boards now days). A new sander or a drill. Maybe a grinder or a buffer if you were really bad
