I'd be lying if I said no. Richie is a good guy-his property is right next to my mother's house. We bust balls and do a lot of fishing together. His old make was good to me, but like i said, it was time for an upgrade. The seacraft he bought was re-done (fritz brothers) I think and had been down in Florida for a while. I prefer inboards to outboards, thats the only thing I don't like on his boat. Other than that, his is cherry. What was the 38 bertram you worked on?

I talked to Rich about his “new” boat I guess about 2 years ago now … That boat is beautiful. As far as the Mako, I remember seeing it on the water all the time … was a great looking boat. But its name was dead on!! There was another 23 Mako O/B by us … They got pounded to death in that thing yet refused to turn around in weather. They fished with us on occasion when we went offshore and the weather just wasn’t right for the 23.

The Bertram I worked on was the Polka Dot ... The owner lived in the first house right after the park. He had the first five slips after the municipal docks. Was with him for about 7 years while in high school and college. We fished about 4-5 days a week and would go to Florida with them for a bit in the winter ...It was great. He often referred to the boat as "my boat" ... I knew it inside and out, up and down … 7 days a week. An invaluable experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Lots of great times on that boat !!! Lots of friends made.

The boat is awesome… I knew Billy Fritz as a result of him working on the boat (and other boats I was on) I was not surprised to see the level of workmanship on the SeaCraft. Rich told me what the prior owner had in it !!!! I think he also did an insane inlaid sailfish coffee table for the salon of a Viking I worked on

Picture is not very good … but it’s a Beautiful boat
