Just an FYI, my buddy in Thunderbolt, Ga, refurbed a Bertram Bahia Mar back to all her original glory. I believe it was a 1966/2016 almost back to factory quality and in Fighting Lady Yellow. It was to be his end all/be all retirement day boat. Everything was perfect, except he put in a full teak cockpit sole. To say it was Beautiful was an understatement. However, after one season he decided to sell. I’m sure the sun is stronger there than here, but he and his girlfriend could not walk barefoot in the boat!!! Something to think about. The boat now resides on a lake in the mountains north of San Francisco, provided it survived the recent fires. Just a thought.
Michael.
