Bertram 25 D3 Volvo Diesel

This is a unique Bertram 25 that has been purposely stripped out for moving people. Tough, simple, and extremely functional. Last year she underwent a substantial refit: fully gutted, original flybridge removed, rewired, and surveyed. The engine and stern drive received a major service and she's now turn-key and ready to work or play.

The job she was set up for is finished, so she's now available for sale. Endless potential:
- Continue using her as an open commercial runabout (and enjoy the tax benefits)
- Clean her up and restore her to her original glory
- Tidy her gradually as a project boat
- Or simply run her hard as the ultimate lads' fishing platform

Optional to the sale is a as new condition flybridge setup--bimini, covers, engine cover, cushions and clears--all in great condition and well-made. (See photos. ) Beautiful satinless bar work all included.

If you want to keep her in survey- there is a life float and bracket available for an aditional $3k.
