Progress Update

The 25 hardtop I/O conversion to a 25 inboard Bahia Mar (31 look-a-like) is coming along nicely. I added the first sections of the forward combing wrap last week. I scaled images of 31 Bahia's to get the lines as close as I could. Transom work is nearly complete as well.

wow. You are much more talented than I could hope to be. keep it up. What power are you installing? Will she have a half tower? Beautiful.

Thanks,
Engine will be diesel and "something" in the 240hp range....(not gonna open that can of worms here). A half tower would be really nice and would like to add one before the boat is launched. Hopefully before 2012 when the Mayan calendar runs out and the earth tilts on it's axis.

Looks a good bit different than when I seen it, Scot.

Glad to see that you are finding time to devote to your Bertram.

Mikey beat me to SPLASH........looks like I'd better get it in gear or you will be in the water before me too.........

Keep it going

Half tower- that's exactly what I was thinking for it.

[J Graham]

Looks terrific, prop pocket looks extra special. Press on.

Big potential there Scot...
Good job on scaling it to look like a 31 Bahia, you nailed it...if it had the 31's reverse shear line it'd be real deceiving. Either way, great lines- I like the looks better than the factory 25 Bahia.
Keep sanding....

I like it alot--she's got a Bahia/Carolina look to her. That's the kind of rig that is just right with fuel prices being what they are. You took an older hull and are making a boat that'll be ahead of the times. Pretty cool..........

Good boat for a Steyr engine,oops sorry I opened the can
