    Odin was my Boat before Byron made the trip to Victoria to buy it from me! Absolutely amazing job.
    I could have never imagined it would look so good!

    This is a really funny thing but this is my dads old boat Odin. Its so cool to see how much effort you have put into this project and you have given this amazing boat a new life I remember as a young boy going on weekend trips with my family and having an amazing time love to new look looks absolutely amazing mate 👍🏻

    These old Bertie hulls are a good base for a project. Funny when I purchased mine I towed it the other way from Qld to Vic.

    Interesting to see. I have a 28’ Bertram, I’m weighing up my options with it......!? It’s currently shaft drive, with twin V8’s. If it was stern drive, I wouldn’t even hesitate to to add outboards on a pod. Twin 300’s on a 25’ would fly! There was one converted here and fitted with twin 200, 2 stroke outboards about 25 years ago. It went hard enough! Great work, thanks for sharing. 😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺

    This is exactly what I was planning to do, the thing that killed the project for me was having to rent a shed/workshop for a couple of years and that made it uneconomical. Ended up buying a Boston Whaler 255 Conquest and re powered with Suzuki 200’s with digital controls......
