I’ve never seen one except on internet, but they apparently had a M tag for a car dealer and the pic is a little blurry on tag, but the letter looks to be wider at the bottom than at the top. That tag is haphazardly attached, maybe with magnets?
The Volvo B series engine has 5 main bearings in a 4 cyl engine.
That pic is hilarious.

Whoa Nelly.
Top responsible speed?

Default Not a Bertram?

I thought it was a Bertram. But a good friend who had a 28’ Bertram for several years said, “No it is not a deep enough “V” and the windows are different.”

As far as Fla license tags not being required on the front, I believe I recall seeing old Fla or even out of state tags on the front occasionally.

The front tag got me to do a lil research and it looks like Florida hasn’t used a front auto tag since 1922 and that Volvo ain’t that old so why was it on front!

It is a 31 Bertram, mid 60s vintage - notice the flared chine line and the curved glass. The 31 was 24deg at the stern and only a bit more forward (like the 20); thats why they never tripped on the forefoot in a following quarter. The 28 had more deadrise forward than the 31 but it was a later design.

Very interesting that the rear tires of the Volvo show no load compression, the body appears level, and the focus/resolution of the tag don't quite match the bumper/grille.

Excuse the language on this but I thought it was pretty funny.
