Bertam made a few 28s with seadrives. There was one at AC last year that had been converted to a bracket and outboards.

We had a factory outboard 28 come in for a Honda 225 repower a few years back.

The fuel tank was where the engines were and was very stable under way.

Boat sat fine in the water.

Boat manuvered a little better with the steering that far back.

I always meant to take pics of the boat, but the marina chased the owner away before I could.

That's Miami Marina on South Beach in Miami Beach, Government cut in the background and Fischer Island behind.

Seeing's how I'm a native of Miami I stopped being suprised by anything on the water anymore. You wouldn't believe what some people do down here.

Believe it or not I'm pretty sure Bertram even made a couple of 33 SF's with OB's. Just when you thought the 454's burned a lot of fuel!

I have seen a 33ft Bertram with twin 250hp Yamaha SWII EFI on a bracket. The boat cruised at 24mph and topped out at 33mph.

I have only heard of one 31ft Bertram with OBs in Florida and hear that it is fast but extremely wet at 40mph.

The 28ft Bertram, there has to be half a dozen with OBs around.

The 26ft Bertram came with a factory knotched transom and at least 20 boats are out of the factory like this.

The 25ft Bertram, I have seen and have pictures of at least 15 boats with OBs (all aftermarket install). Very common.

Not all look too bad
