Kinda bittersweet, but the new owner will have her soon. She'll be living in Nassau, the Bahamas and I'm real happy with the new owner and location-couldn't be better, IMO. Pretty appropriate too, that it snowed the whole time we were loading her up-last snow she's likely to ever see. Kudos to Big Al's transport service out of Miami-great job...

One trailer out from under and ready to load on the transporter's trailer

I do in fact have visitation and will be in the Bahamas a few times this winter, so a side trip is in the offing FO SHO! The next project was completed this summer, a Bertram 25 built up as a Rybo-style Express powered by twin D3 160's, 190 gallons of fuel-Canyons here we come!!!

Your Bert 20 is - still to this day - one of the sweetest boats I've ever seen. Just gorgeous. The new ride looks just as sharp.

Jesus, you do nice work... wanna put the CMP touches on my new Stratos project? ;)

Good for you, Mark - sorry I couldn't get it together in time to make it work. Sometimes it sucks to be in the financial services world. If you ever need crew on the 25, let me know. See you around town.

Ay yuh, would have been nice to keep her on the Cape, but Nassau's not too bad a place for her either! The 25 is going on the block shortly-within days. I have another, bigger one I like (non-project-really nice) and I DON'T want to be a 3 boat owner again. Hello, my name is Mark P and I'm a boat-a-holic...
