Was, you mean is?

They still make the 38' Top Gun but the only difference is that nowadays it's the smallest in the fleet.

Just had a friend of mine retire, but a catamaran and take a trip across the Atlantic. Loved it so much and opened a charter business.

Love the water and giving thought to buying one but for now, I'll just stick to charting when I get the itch.

Hull #1 of the new Bertram 35. Took some shots of it at the Newport Boat Show last week. Family had a "31" which was a great boat, but a wet boat. They say this one is not a wet boat..
Wish I knew this was there would have cruised down.

Famous might be a wrong expression rather it had a special reputation due to the stories regarding their utilization by drug runners and also Aronow ' s violent death,i thought in that context.

Looks like fun.

I once bought a 45' Hatteras (Whitcraft) house boat up in Fernandina Beach and took it all the way down to Pompano Beach.

Not a fun trip and I sold it immediately.
