Bertrams are great old boats. Nice job on the resto so far.

Me Likeky. Nice boat. It's got good bones so to speak. There's a reason she still looks good since '67. Can't say that for much these days...still talking boats here

AHHH... they don't make boats like that anymore and they sure don't make engines like that anymore. :joyous: I envy you the lack of computer controlled sensors and ECM's that beep codes at you and not needing a degree in electrical engineering to properly understand them all and... well you get the idea. :laugh: Best of luck with your new '67 bertram and the amazingly reliable 165.

WOW... You must have had a heck of a time tracking down all those original parts but it came out gorgeous! Enjoy many years of fun with it. Seeing a boat like that in that condition really takes me back.
