Best off jumping onto the
Best off jumping onto the Australian Old School Trailer Boat page on fb. Lots of info there.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Very close to a Penguin
But I dont think they have as much glass in them as a Penguin almost the same shape thou.
Saw one Pacemaker at Insurance yard(many yrs ago) only had about 3 layers of glass on the nose which was all smashed in .

Yeah I've herd the ones made
Yeah I've herd the ones made from the 70s to the early 80s wer made strong with good quility glass . Then the quality changed when the original owner passed the moulds on to his son ... This is only what I've herd I could be wrong

I don't reckon there is any Bertram input
They look nothing like a Bertram hull of the day--you can still see the original Bertram 23 hull in a current Caribbean 2300, and the Reefrunner is very close to the original Bertram 20, just less deeply vee'd at the transom. Design changed from the original circa 1993, IIRC.
