667.0. "Bertram 72" by TOOK::SWIST (Jim Swist LKG2-2/T2 DTN 226-7102) Mon May 07 1990 12:54

    Hurry down to your dealer before he runs out of the latest Bertram
    72's.   Twin MTU 12s (1800 hp each) give you 40 mph at WOT!   Let's see
    - a fillup every 500 miles of the 2750 gal tank will run you over
    $3000. (Do you have to pull into a refinery for that quantity?)  (~.18
    mpg) Now the fuel cost is certainly not an issue for those of us who
    can afford this boat, but if I owned a 72' motoryacht, I'd sure like to
    be able to cross the Atlantic without refueling 6 times!  (You'd have
    to hail a diesel fuel tanker).
    
    Only $2M+.  Hurry while they last.

    Anyone who bought one of those things must be off his head.
    
    Obviously, Bertram think there must be plenty of loonies out there, to
    make the product worthwhile. They must have a pretty low impression of
    Mr. Rich Joe Public.
    
    Tally-ho!
