Well I made an offer on a betram 33 and had it taken out from under me! I am seriously sad at the moment. Does anyone know anything about this bertram? i know it has been on the hard for 2 years but supposedly properly winterized and stored. Before I make the trip from nyc to baltimore, i figured i would ask here. Thanks for all your help. http://www.bluewateryachtsales.com/inve ... ails/1549/ -John

I'm in the same area and have seen it around cruised mostly and been on the hard for several years. I'd say thats the reason for the low price. Shoot me an email johndunkeryahoo.com

I bought my 35 two years ago and I seem to remember seeing that boat for sale at least a year or two prior to that Dan finchasersportfishing.com

Yes, a buddy and I just bought it. We got the engines running and they sound good but the one injection pump had a problem, the engine wouldn't shut off. We are having the pump rebuilt. Meanwhile we are going over everything on the boat, cleaning it up and hopefully it will be at our dock by the end of June. Our port is Pot Nets Seaside/Indian River and the boat will be named Edith M. C Keiter

Check you governor housing covers for leaks. Even if they're not leaking, the mounting feet may be cracked I just fixed both of mine, pretty common issue in 3208s. Makes a mess if left unchecked.

Yes, but we are in Pot Nets Seaside. We will be running it up to Philly for winter, closer to home. We want to replace all of the bonding and some cosmetic work over the winter.
