Information:

The Bertram 25 is an all-fiberglass boat with a Ray Hunt-designed deep-vee hull. Standard twin sterndrives (around 110 to 130 hp each) provided 20-plus-mph cruising speeds and a top end of around 40 mph. The hull shape is known for its rough-water performance, and the combination of speed and seaworthiness made the boat popular with anglers.

The large, flat foredeck and wide side decks give access to all parts of the boat. The cockpit takes full advantage of the nearly 10-foot beam to provide around 100 square feet of deck space. The helm station is to starboard, protected by a two-pane windshield in an aluminum frame. There’s a pedestal seat at the helm and a companion to port.

The cuddy cabin layout is simple, providing plenty of storage as well as the comforts of an occasional overnighter, including the typical V-berth with an insert and room for a portable head in between. A large overhead hatch provides light and ventilation.

The Bertram brand is certainly well-known, founded by yachtsman Richard Bertram in the heady days of early production fiberglass boatbuilding. The company’s first design, the Bertram 31, debuted in 1961 and turned out to be revolutionary, thanks to designer Ray Hunt’s then-new deep-vee hull, which changed the performance parameters of recreational powerboats.

The Bertram 25 Express was introduced in 1961 and quickly earned a reputation for speed and seaworthiness, which made it a favorite among anglers. With its two berths and optional head, it also found favor as a family boat. Companion models included the Convertible, Bahia Mar, Hard Top, and Hard Top Sportfisherman.

The boats can be found all around the country and vary widely in price. Popular with restorers, project boats are available for as little as $5,000, with many priced around $10,000. Restored models can fetch $30,000 to $35,000 and up. Soundings, November 2009
