After a year of struggles the Bertram 28 is back in the water. Fort Lauderdale new river water test 

I have been feeling depressed with all of my boat problems..............until I watched this video. I am not alone!!

Nice work. Owning an old school Bertram is a never-ending project, but man... when you get 'er in the water, it makes all the work worthwhile.

Your video brings me much happiness. I know I am not alone. After a number of disappointing sea trials you will get it out. Happy boating have fun and be safe😊.

Nice boat 👍👏

Enjoying your videos and feel your pain. I live aboard my DeFever 44 and have had some similar mechanical problems over the years as time passes by. Keep up the videos , I like watching how you roll with the problems and Macgyver your way to a repair or solution. Bertrams have always been an attraction to me but I never owned one.

Great videos. Hope more bertram content to come.

Beautiful hull,but you need a lot ofTLC,manifolds,elbows,tuneups,waterpumps,etc,etc.end up with killer boat.

Great work Bobby!

Bro!! 😂😂😂 You are my brother! You hit the effin bridge!! ❤️

I love it!!! Happy to see you both !!! Seve

Just found your channel. Love it! I feel like I’m going to have similar problems once I get mine ready for the water hahah I looked into getting a single jet drive for my 25 Bertram when I first bought mine and was blown away with how expensive the jet unit was going to cost. Think they asked for over $80k! Just for the Jet unit! Not including a 500hp motor! But Jet unit has good maneuverability. Gonna check out your other videos! Cheers!

Amazing. Please keep going

Holy Sh*t you're back ! Oh I didn't realize you got the Dual Helm 28. Very rare.

That trailer needs to be a triple axel ....lol

What's the update????? Been waiting for another video to see what's up. Haha. Love the channel.

Great to see this project moving along!! There seemed to be some slight dripping from the port side rudder seal as well but could be as simple as just tightening down on it. 20k to go with new engines and jet drives seems a bit optimistic from my view. I would think 20k for engines alone doing all of the work yourself and I would think that jet drives would be transom mounted which would require pretty extensive modifications although I have never actually researched that conversion. I had enough headaches with my jetski and swore that I would never own anything with a jet drive after that experience. Good luck!!

Man if you love it and you’re going to use it and if it’s your forever boat then save yourself a lot of trouble and aggravatetion And by new engines when you’re abeal to 😢❤

Did either engine use a ccw starter?

Where did you get the new windshield

Is the hull color updated?

i want to make a shifter kart with a honda crf 250 motor and make it california street legal can you make a video showing parts and having the links for the parts in the description

here in Australia your trailer would be illegal to use on that size boat I got a 25ft bertram and got triple axel trailer you guys get away with so much over there. this size boat would be great with tween diesel engines and lot cheaper to run

U good ?

Bro your trialer is way to small for that boat 🤣 🤣 🤣
