Bertram vs Seacraft

[bigeasy1]

Ok,I'm not saying I really want to do another restoration project,and most likely I won't but I've been daydreaming about a resto on a Bertram in the 20-25'range.
I love my 1974 Tsunami and would never ever part with it,no matter what.I think I may just have myself buried in it when the bucket gets kicked.
Now,having said that,I love the look and lines of the older Bertrams like the old moppies,and occasionally see them come up for reasonable prices.I know that they are a famous hull and known for their good sea handling.
For those of you who have had,or now have experience either in owning both brands or running both brands,how would you compare them to each other?

I may never do this,but I keep thinking about(if I can afford it)that in addition to having my Tsunami on the great lakes(Ontario)it would be nice to have something in the 20-25' range to fish the salt water with.

I'm 6-1/2 hours from my Tsunami on lake Ontario,but only about 1-1/2 to 2 hours to the Ct & RI shores.
I guess I could move the Tsunami to the salt,but my priorty is Samon and Steelhead fishing,with a lot of money invested in specialized tackle.I also have lots of friends in NY.(Niagara county) where I fish,so I don't want to leave there entirely.
I'm thinking that it would be nice to have something closer to home in addition to the Tsunami in NY.
Something to maybe run down at the shore,maybe for a quick weekend trip fishing off the beaches for flounder or blues, stripers,etc.Maybe an occasional trip to Block island.

I know that realistically if I wanted to get serious into fishing the salt I'd also have to spend loads of money on different styles of tackle,but I have enough kicking around to have fun with.
I suppose it may make more sense to find an older center console in good condition that needs no major work,but I just love the looks of those Bertrams,not to mention that having both a classic Seacraft,and a classic Bertram would be great.

So tell me,am I crazy?,how do the two compare,and having done some salt water fishing,but still a rookie,is a boat like this the best choice or is a center console the way to go?
And yes,I've thought plenty hard about a classic 20'Secraft ctr console.
