Tommy,
I had a 1968 open moppie, the silver plate left of the helm was 203-1060. I never found any other numbers anywhere on the boat. The gas tank label was missing also. The numbering system might be the same if they followed the 31 coding system starting with 1001. Who knows all the old Bertram records were thrown out in the early 1980's. My 31 Express hull number under the port v-berth reads: Nauta Industries Division of Bertram Yachts Hull # 186 12-13-61. There is no 31 in front of the 186. If the the formula from Lee Dana is correct I've got hull # 85 (186 minus 101= 85). Was Bertrams production staff large enough able to put out 85 hulls in the first year of operation? A good question to ask Lee Dana if you get to talk to him, I've asked Richard Kidd and he didn't get there until the late 1960's.
