A wide boat designed for a narrow water line and low wetted surface area. And the bottom, I've always thought, was much too flat. More about that later on. The teak deck was an add-on. Nothing to complain about here .
Helps keep the price up there.
Yet, stylistically, something is not quite right. Hard to put your finger on it, but when you look at a 46 Berty, you know it for sure. All the lines work in near-perfect harmony on the Berty, whereas there a few things are out of kilter on this one. Like the lack of a forward windshield eyebrow. Even so, the basic design hasn't changed in 20 years, but it doesn't make you think of a 1969 Mercury Comet.
