Bertram 20 center console, 1967/2004...

[MarkP]

1967 Bertram Custom, with a keel-up rebuild/customization completed in September of 2004. Price is $36,500/bro. Surveyed and insured as a new boat at that time for $45,000 BEFORE I added the t-top, Volvo QL boat leveling system and all electronics. The boat has a trailer and is located at its indoor storage facility in southern NH. As far as work done, the easiest way to answer that is to say that the only original part still on the boat is the hull and 3/4 of the topsides. Starting at the bottom, she received a new backbone and stringer system, new transom core and inner portion, new monocoque deck made of Nidacore composite material and glass, all new closed-cell floatation foam, new bulkheads fore and aft that are permanent and tied into the deck and hull structure, new custom 75 gallon, powder coated aluminum
fuel tank, all new electrical system with dual deep cycle batteries, new SeaStar hydraulic steering system, new 160 hp Volvo D3 common rail turbo diesel with SX outdrive (310 hours since new), new Volvo QL boat leveling system (kicks the crap out of trim tabs), new custom powder coated leaning post, new custom powder coated t-top with Stratglass enclosure, new electronics including a JRC 1800 CP color radar/chartplotter, Furuno 600L color lcd fish finder with an Airmar tilted element x-ducer, Pioneer stereo, Standard vhf, pop-up cleats (4), 4 rod holders (2 CJ Marine swivels and 2 Lees with removable swivel inserts), painted all
with ProLine paints linear polyurethane. I don’t think I missed anything, but that’s what I mean by a total keel-up customization. I don't want to sell her, but with a new boat almost ready to go, she'll sit around and that's just wrong-she's too cool for that fate...

You no likey IO's or something???

You've never owned one have you? Trust me when I say, there is no difference trailering an IO v. an outboard, but the purpose of this is not to debate the merits of IO v. outboards is it? The purpose is to sell a boat, so I'll thank you for your compliments on the boat and we'll leave it at that...

Awesome boat! I have a 35 right now but if she were gone I would def. be trailering that one home from up north. Please post the 25 when your done. Would love to see it. That would be more appealing to me anyways.

[MarkP]

The only reason the 20 is for sale is that the 25 exists! That 20 sure would look nice next to your 35, tho...
