Old Bertram Race Boat
 

I have a friend that has an old Bertram Race boat that he may sell to me.
I have not seen it move in the last 20 years. I believe he said it was a 25 or 27 foot Baron.
It has twin inboards (Holman Moody motors). I believe they are 351 ci.

I will try to get some pics, but does anyone know anything about the value of the earlier Bertram's?
Anything I should look for? I would be getting it for almost nothing, so I am not too concerned with the risk of purchase.

Thanks

Value depends on condition and completeness.

Holman and moody stuff is way up there on the "cool" scale!

I have to get over there and get some pics... Hopefully this weekend.

Temecula?? Good friend of mine owns a place there called "the bike shop" Ahh the memories.... sitting at the light at the end of the 15n off ramp to winchester, I ended up with 6 guns pointed at my head, but thats a story for another day....

I drive by "The Bike Shop" everyday...I take the Winchester exit off the 15N everyday also. Temecula is nice, but boating out here sucks...I need to move.

Is today that day?

Pewaukee?? I used to commute from Waukegan IL to Madison weekly, the state troopers were brutal around Pewaukee/Waukasha. Love Wisconsin.

Yikes, I thought I have it bad commuting from pewaukee to south side of madison, stoooooughton. That had to be one heck of a commute. How long did u do the drive?

A little over a year. I was starting up a new Injection Molding plant in DeForest, just north of Madtown. Lots of fun memories.
This Bertram would be a fun project and would be a blast on Lake Michigan. I was reading in another post that the inboard Barons were not too plentiful.
I hope this thing is not too far gone.

I think they made 11 of this model 28 Baron's
The volvo drive boats had the ford engines. 351's
The Merc outdrive boats had 6 cyl Chevy's

I had one years ago that a guy put 440 cubic inch Olds V-8's in it. With Mercs
