New 360 Express Challenge?

Finally got my new Marlin, immediately paged back to the two page Bertram ad on 122-123, to get a first look at the new 360 express. Nice looking boat, the lines actually look to me to reflect some hertitage from the old 31 express models. looking at the schedule of tournament participation for the 570 and 360 factory teams for 2005, I see a scheduled appearance at the Mississippi Classic in Biloxi from June 8-11. Unless the boat or boats in this event are leaving straight for the Boat Harbor, Bahamas, tourney, - well, Port Eads is just a short run from Biloxi, and many of the boats in that contest will be fishing that way, anyway - and the UVII5 is sheduled for June 19 - 24, so-o-o-o, here's my challenge. If Bertram will bring the new 36 express to Port Eads for the UVII, I'll bring my 1962 31 express to sit beside it - and I have a much longer run than from Biloxi! (~385 nautical miles!)It would also be interesting for the Bertram factory team to not only show off the new boats, but to look at 31's like Reel Cowboy - an immaculate and innovative Baia Mar restoration, Targeted Species - a 31 center console with outboard power, Jaded lady - an original 1962 sportfish built for Dick Bertram's sister, Uncle Vic's beautiful, Another Joy, and all the other 31's that will be on hand - along with Lil' Bert, the 28, our "little brother".
How about it, Don? It would be a better test of the boats than the Mid Atlantic deal, although we'd have to warn you, it won't be as sophisticated!
