**Bertram 25 - Commercial-Ready Workhorse / Project / Family Runabout
Lease or Rent Options Considered**
This is a unique Bertram 25 that has been purpose-built 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.
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 toward original glory
- Tidy her gradually as a project boat
- Or simply run her hard as the ultimate lads' fishing platform
Included in the sale is a full flybridge setup--bimini, covers, engine cover, cushions and clears--all in great condition and well-made. (See photos. )
