Re: Another B25 came home

Congrats on your new boat.
I have a b26 with twin 470'S with alpha 1 mercruiser legs, the counter rotation is the port leg.
I was sceptical about the 470's but I have found them great runners.
There are still parts avalable and a rebuilt long block can be purchased for $2600.00us.
Good luck.

Re: Bertram 25 express repower

20 knots is a real comfortable speed in our local waters.
Good luck with Mercury.

Re: Where to start?

The crazing almost looks like a tecture job gone bad I have never seen crazing like that, usually from impact,flexing or stress points.
Jesse looks happy to be on board.

Re: New Project B25!

To give the hatch some strengh you would have to glass in a couple of pieces of 1" x 2" just like stringers. You have a great looking b25 I talked to the seller last summer at that time he didn't think the trailer would make it to Canada and to costly to ship both trailer and boat on a lowbed. Glad ...

Your boat looks awsome, how did you manage to do the bow and both sides without getting a dry edge?
Results like that I couldn't begin to calculate the hours you put in filling, fairing and sanding.
