Re: Planning a restoration project B25. Soliciting Advice
Will it wiggle out once the batteries are out or does the deck have to come up?

Re: Planning a restoration project B25. Soliciting Advice
Cam, if all the OEM tanks were fiberglass then this one has been replaced. It's welded so I'm assuming aluminum. I'll post some of the pictures I have later this morning
The B25 will fit in my garage once the window frame is removed. I don't think I could do this outside.

Re: Planning a restoration project B25. Soliciting Advice
Do you mean the motors? As in repower with something different? or Did you mean rebuilt long blocks of the same vintage.

Re: Thinking about a resto-project B25. Soliciting Advice
OK. I found threads on here explaining that the stringers have a tendency to delaminate from the hull over time. Is there good access to inspect the stringers on a B25? Or does it take pounding on the hull to figure it out?

Bertram ad from 1961. The boats the experts are buying
I'm new here and will probably need a lot of help in the future. Thought I should start giving now so I am not seen as too obtuse when I need help :) I found this today and thought I'd Share. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1834/43155341965_81eab86c37_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1837/4225256...

Re: New member planning B25 or B26 project. Inboard or IO?
Thanks for all the input. I was not planning an outboard conversion. The plan is to find an i/o moppie that is not a falling apart wreck. I'll be looking soon for a functional floating boat. I have a few cars to sell first so I have someplace to do the work. In NC a wide load permit is only $100 per...

Re: New member planning B25 or B26 project. Inboard or IO?
I looked up the cost of replacement using a rebuilt 180HP mercruiser 4 cylinder. It looks like the long block is about $3000. Alpha out drives are about the same if not less. If you have a running functional I/O is there any cost savings to convert to to OB? By the time you do the bracket, the fab w...

New member planning B25 or B26 project. Inboard or IO?
Hello, I'm in the preliminary planning stages of a B25 or B26 project. I'm fine tuning my desires and am torn between motor choices. I know inboard power is far more dependable than stern drives plus with no out drives it is more economical too. Here, however, is why I am torn. 1. I live in Raleigh ...
