What's New

[Back to the Site Directory]

The 25 Bertram Project...."What's New" Directory.

Based on the size of the site I have decided to add a "What's New" page to direct frequent viewers to the latest changes, entries and new pictures.

7-24-2010 The interior layout design is complete. Finally figured out how to fit everything into the space Bertram provided me with, see: [25 Bertram Cap Modifications]

6-28-2010 Sorry for the long lasp without any updates! I have been working on the boat, just nothing to post about. The past year has basically been spent hunting parts and collecting materials. I have opted for more engine, see: [25 Bertram Engine]

6-29-2009 Working on the engine box, new pictures on the progress. Also view of the Dorado box openings. [25 Bertram Engine Box]

5-14-2009 Added the front wrap and dash. Roughed in at this point but really starting to look like a 31 Bahia Mar. New pictures, bottom of the page. See: [25 Bertram Cap Modifications]

5-11-2009 Too much to list! I have decided to take more of a neutral tone on engine selection, after all not everyone feels the same way I do about engine manufactures. So, the site is becoming less biased, and more info oriented. I have added a "New Engine" section on the drive line page. There are a lot of you folks that are interested in the latest technology (I do reserve the right to select "which" new engines I discuss). Bottom of the page, See: [25 Bertram Drive Line]

The gear selection table has been given it's own page. See: [25 Bertram Transmissions]
