Default Bertram High Performance Boat?

I was @ Norwalk Cove Marina (CT) today & saw a great looking older style H/P boat that had no HIN # but it had Bertram on the side. Anyone know anything about a 26-31' H/P boat built by Bertram. It had to be pretty old registration sticker on it was from 1988 (but my eyes told me late 60's/early 70's). I would love to know more about it looks like a great project

I don't know anything about them, but there is one for sale and has been for a long time.

I think they made 10 or 11 Barons

I was lucky enough to have had one

They came with 351 Fords with Volvo drives or 6 cyl Chevys with merc drives.

During that same time period, Bertram also made a boat that length that was strictly a race boat.....did it look more like this?

That's a 28 Bertram Baron. I saw it there a year or so ago, and though the same thing.

http://speedmasters-inc.com has one.
