Most blokes toil away on tinnies and 15ft Crapcrafts before laying tools on their first big project, but - amazingly - this 1986 custom Bertram 25 Express is Byron’s first boat! Fortunately, he had some help from one of his best buddies, Jack McKenzie of Finesse Marine.

Interesting to see. I have a 28’ Bertram, I’m weighing up my options with it......!? It’s currently shaft drive, with twin V8’s. If it was stern drive, I wouldn’t even hesitate to to add outboards on a pod. Twin 300’s on a 25’ would fly! There was one converted here and fitted with twin 200, 2 stroke outboards about 25 years ago. It went hard enough! Great work, thanks for sharing. 😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺

This is exactly what I was planning to do, the thing that killed the project for me was having to rent a shed/workshop for a couple of years and that made it uneconomical. Ended up buying a Boston Whaler 255 Conquest and re powered with Suzuki 200’s with digital controls......

Yes, the finished boat is something to be proud of but aren't those fuel burn rates somewhat excessive for a boat that size running at that speed? Im not trying to stir things up it just sounds like an offshore fishing trip would cost a fortune. I thought those hulls were known for a great ride and decent fuel economy.
