Project Boat - Repower and restoration of Bertram 25 Flybridge Cruiser Pt 7

[@MrVaelen]

Suitably impressed this one didn't land on the boat ramp, but instead ended in the water... Well done fellas!

[@DesmoProfundis]

Man, what a great leader! I mean, this guy is giving 100% of the credit of his shop's work to his guys. I've been in the military for a lifetime and can immediately recognize amazing leadership. This is what right looks like. Managers and bosses take note.

I am looking forward to the next instalment. Obviously you sorted it out as you still own and enjoy the boat. The good thing about this series is you show that things don’t always go to plan. I enjoy watching how you go about sorting out the problems that arise. You blokes are very good at telling this story.

[@matthewolerhead8275]

Loved it when first aired, really enjoy watching it again.. Thanks boys!

[@TazzzieAdventures]

Tassie's experts on how to fix up good old boats with lots of $$$$cash$$$$ tossed at them. I like watching them all big or small you guys know how to entertain.

[@blackbeardboatworks242]

So glad I came across this! We were planning on doing something similar with our bracket. Saved us some heartache.🙂

[@helenrob2961]

Somewhere there is a Bertram designer cringing every time someone sticks an outboard on the back of a classic me included lol.

Your my two favourite fishos I love to watch

[@Newidude]

Loving the series guys as I didn’t follow this on tv. It’s a long week between episodes but stoked you guys are putting the time in to get them uploaded. Keep up the good work

[@dantolo817]

Loving the project recap 👍🇦🇺❤️

[@micknoname6466]

You blokes definitely entertain 🤙 The ally pod looks pretty good but yeah, the Beast definitely needs the suspension lowered 😎 Remember..........There are NO PROBLEMS! Only SOLUTIONS 🤓💪🤙🤙

[@michaeldickson6963]

Keep it coming boys, loving it!

[@mini696]

Now the pod corrodes from the inside. Cool.

[@peterdaalman462]

Love the show great to have a laugh

[@nosootracing]

Was waiting for this to drop 👌

[@paulsimpson8990]

A combination of increased buoyancy and increasing the height of the centre of gravity courtesy of the two outboards. Now we realise that building a seaworthy boat isn’t by chance and Bertram knew a thing or two about designing and building boats. Shame Yamaha doesn’t build a 300hp diesel sterndrive.

[@AquaMarine1000]

I had the option to swap to an outboard pod but kept the high speed turbo charged diesel engine. Rebuilt the engine, added a new Garrett ball-bearing turbo. The boat still has power with economy and fuel safety. Having no volatile fuel and no sparkplugs has got to be a good thing. Cheers

[@paulsimpson8990]

@@AquaMarine1000 i agree. There is a certain level of education and awareness around fuel, ignition and ventilation on boats that perhaps no longer exists in the general boating population. Safety is always a good idea and opening the cover after refueling to check for leaks and being vigilant with the blower are all imperatives!

[@nathanhammock1857]

what did you do with your plug????. you hull extension covered the original.. I am curious bc I'm getting ready to do this with an identical hull. thanks

[@tamaralee4108]

The Chines are above the waterline, reduces stability, and causes the tidiness.

[@ทอมEsyFish]

สวยงามครับ

[@luke_mccredden]

Love it

[@tomrawlings9758]

Looking forward to the next installment. What was the ballast option?

[@Coralita675]

When the Beast 2 was been reversed down the ramp I'm sure "flashbacks" of past disasters popped up right lads.... oh the shame and yes we the audience are still traumatized by the event too.

[@reeloffroadadventure9076]

Well there's only one answer add more weight with bigger motors

[@jesseblackwell5733]

Wells would be better than pods on one of these

[@mini696]

Driving with that oversize flag stopping all airflow to the engine. Smart. /s

[@ronaldsmeaton1432]

Please don’t say drop it in around Andrew great job by other people go get em

[@magnum_sportfishing]

First yewwwww

[@TheDoug9901]

Pathetic, should have been tested before all that beauty work, add a gas tank at the back to increase your range. I have to run a lot of gas or mine is tipsy like that right from factory
