This is a Bertram B-20 "Moppie" with the original deep-vee hull designed by the legendary Ray Hunt.
Anyone else have one?
My 1965 has been modified a bit for added comfort and dependability, but still looks stock.
Upgrades include 4-piece glass windshield (25' Bellboy), higher hp (170 hp) fresh water cooled Mercruiser Six and outdrive, twin swim platforms, Bennett hydraulic trim tabs, twin Todd swivel pedestal seats, twin batteries, misc. electronics. The hull, deck hardware, interior, and gauges are all original.
The performance of this boat is nothing short of remarkable. It's hands down the most comfortable riding boat I've ever owned. Whether flat calm or seriously big chop it always feels like I've got control.
Point it in a given direction and it holds course with very little input needed. She planes easily and economically at half throttle with her very capable inline GM six cylinder. Super quiet, powerful, and dependable.
What more could you ask for?
