Do you feel the love here for Bertrams? Can I get Amen brothers!

I love the B33Sf I also love the B35 I would bet the difference is hardly noticable - if at all - IN the head sea performance I know there are a few small differences - but tht being said - they are small differences - size and weight are very close There are a few small things I could point out that the b33 has over the 35 - and also a few that the 35 has over the 33, but nothing major. I would be pround to own either boat - in fact I am!

I'll see your Amen and give you a Halleluiah! Regards, Doug L. 1986 33 Bertram FBC Queen Elizabeth Marblehead, MA [img]http://www.bertram33.com/photogallery/p ... sabeth.jpg[/img]

I think Frank put it best. The best boat is the right boat for the particular owner. I don't think anybody can say that any of the well-built Bertrams is summarily better or worse than another that with a slightly different design or length. Change something about the weight, engines or hull, and you both gain and loose things. They all have their own set of good and bad characteristics, and if the character of your particular boat fits your needs and makes you happy, then it is the best boat for you. The whole issue is like arguing about who's woman is better. They all have their own charms, and there will never be a consensus. And following on that logic, I also believe that there are even cases when it's true that a Bayliner, Sea Ray or Silverton is the "best boat." Every seat will eventually find an ass!

John C, Now look what you started. Boating may not be a team sport but it is pretty obvious that Bertram owners are passionate about there boats.
