Re: 26 Bertram Converrtable

Chris,

Just curious, why didn't you choose the 383 stroker engine?

Re: 26 Bertram Converrtable

Thanks for all the info. I've decided to sell the boat. It's too much boat for my 80 year old father handle.
He wants a 22 foot outboard. So it's available. Make offer.

Re: 26 Bertram Converrtable

Chris,

I just acquired a 1984 B26 Sport Convertible with 165 HP original motors 435 hours or so. What should I expect to watch out for in this boat model?
Not to much info on it out there. Why? Not popular, How many are made? Etc. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mike
