Bertram vs Seacraft

[pelican]

no such thing as a "moppie" - "moppie" was richard bertram's wife - he called her that,she had wild red hair...

"moppie" is the name bertram used on their hulls,when launched - kinda like how rybovich used "charmer"

the bertram's were built like no others - in it's day,they were it.fiberglass tanks - bertram had tanks made from both a polyester resin and an epoxy resin - polyester based resin - the cheap stuff,the stuff with the styrene smell,ethanol laced fuel will disolve the styrene from the resin - epoxy is not effected.fiberglass tanks,befor ethe introduction of e10 fuel,were the best option - last forever,unlike aluminum...
