In Response To: Re: 25 Bert (Capt Patrick McCrary)

Chris (and Patrick),

Only the inboard 25s had glass over plywood stringers.

All of the I/Os had hollow fiberglass stringers. The design and layout of these varied in the few that I have seen, so they changed over the years.

I think a single diesel would be a great option. You should look at the D4 / D6 from volvo.

Everything that I have heard about Yanmars infront of the Bravo III legs is disaster. I don't think the mercury drives are strong enough.

The new drives from Volvo appear to be VERY beefy!

Good luck, send / post some pictures. The 25 site (www.25bertram.com) is pretty active and provide insight as well.

Ian.
