Re: Bertram Project Boats?
Here is my opinion, if you are starting with a boat with no motors do a 31 not a 28, it's a better boat that will hold more value over time. If you are looking to get into a decent diesel boat you can do some work on to make it a lifetime boat, the entry price on a 28 is likely a better value

The plexiglass is an interesting solution. Since it’s a converted Sportfish with no original aft bulkhead it’s not structural. No opinion on the power.
