Re: Bertram 25 windshield frame bedding

That my thought as well. Not to mention the cleanup. I emailed a couple of windshield manufacturers weeks ago hoping to get some guidance but have yet to get an answer. Probably going to go back with dolfinite.

Bertram 25 windshield frame bedding

I have refinished my windshield frames on my 25 fbsf. I went the sandblasting, aumiprep,alodine ,zinc epoxy primer and alexseal 501 route. Hopefully they outlast my ownership of the boat. I'm ready to re bed them to the hull and hardtop. I was wondering what product to use? I think they were origina...

Re: Bertram 25 Flybridge sportfish repower options

Anyone have any thoughts on a pair of Suzuki 140's. I have a buddy that's about to sell a low hour pair. Ive seen a couple boats with 115's on them. Should be enough power.

Re: Bertram 25 Flybridge sportfish repower options

I appreciate the reply. If I go outboards, I will definitely be going twins. Somewhere in the 140 - 200hp range. Looking for max efficiency and reliability. There are some pretty remote Bahamas runs in store for this boat once she is completed.

Bertram 25 Flybridge sportfish repower options

I'm nearing the completion of my 25 restoration. So far I've replace both cabin bulkheads, fuel tank floor, new transom core and paint. The original plan was to go back with new 3.0 I/o's, new gimbal brackets and drives. The boat handled wonderfully with this combo. I never really felt it lacked all...

Bertram 25 transducer

I'm wondering what thru hull transducer you guys are running on your 25's and where is it located. I'm running the simrad go7xse and tired of losing depth at speed with the total scan. I've fooled with it to the point that I'm ready to spend some money on a decent thru hull. I'm thinking a b150m but...

25 flybridge ac

I'm thinking of installing an ac unit in my 25. I'm not sure where to put it. Has anyone done this in a 25? Any ideas or recommendations would be much appreciated.

Re: Bertram 25 fuel burn

I did a tune up to the 3.0's this week. Headed out again Sunday and hope to do a little better on fuel. I Might pick up some 4 blades to try out if the tune up doesnt help. Any recommendations on 4 blade props? Are the solas 4 blades any good?

Bertram 25 fuel burn

Just wondering what others are getting with their setups. I'm running a 25 flybridge with 3.0 mercruisers and 14.5x17 props. After running the numbers I seem to be getting about 1.3 mpg on a typical trip. I usually run about 3400- 3500 rpms at 22 -24 knots. I dont have flow scans so I'm not sure whe...

Bertram 25 info

New guy here. I've been on the hunt for a 25 hard top or flybridge for a while now. I found one nearby and plan on a sea trial friday. Motors seem good to go and outdrives have recently been replaced. Most of the issues I see are cosmetic. There is definitely some flexing of the port side gunnel whe...
