- This is what it took to get to the stage its at now. It has taken A LOT longer then I thought! It would help me A LOT if you Like & Subscribe. Please leave a comment.
The $41,616AUD figure is the total amount I have spent on all the goodies (Beer not included in total) to go into the boat to date, like - Fibre glass, resins, Motor, bow thruster, 18’ subwoofer, speakers, amps, trim tabs, lights, drum anchor winch, toilet and lots of other small things. So there’s a big chunck of that money laying around the house accumulating dust! eekkk
I still have to buy lots more like - steering, sounder/plotter, PAINT!, more resin, windows, trailer and lots more.
If you know anyone that can bend glass for the windows please hook me up!
If you are good at programming Arduino, Nextion or rassberry pies let me know who you are if you want to help me. I want to make a graphic user interface to control everything on the boat so I can do away with old fashioned looking switch panels. boat restoration, old boat restoration

I do believe that this is the clearest demonstration of love of boating that I've ever seen. And I'm winded after changing the oil and filter in my 19 foot bowrider.
Hahah I definitely love boating. Been goin a bit too long for me though! Need more time on it!
When I’m watching your videos I don’t know whether I’m more amazed by the amount of work you do, the fact that all the work you’re doing is going to make for one very high quality boat or that you’re able to to keep doing it all week after week and month after month 😁👍 Probably a healthy dose of all three 🤓👍 It’s a real eye opener 😳 I’m really looking forward to seeing the end product 😎👍👍
Thanks mate. I’m looking forward to relaxing on it a bit once it’s in the water
Love that techno tune
Glad you liked it. I did too! Haha
Thanks for commenting it helps me!
My mate Shane is astonished. He loves the stringer water tank distribution methodology.
thanks. i think its a good idea too haha
Thanks for including the price, now knowing what actually goes into restoring a boat I need a crap ton of tools.
Kinda discouraging since I've never restored anything but I'll be damned if I die without having restored a car or boat
thanks for appreciating the effort adding the price in the video! It's taken me a long time to accumulate the tools i got but you dont need em all. I just like tools that make building stuff easier! hahah I would encourage anyone to do a project boat. This is the 3rd fixer upper I've done and the feeling when it 1st goes in the water is the reason im doing this one... didnt expect it to take so long though!!! thanks for taking the time to write something!
@@Micington thanks to you man! I actually thought to myself that if I want restore a boat then I have to prove it to myself so now I'm going to restore my 1998 f150 ext. cab it needs a crap ton of work but anyways if I want a boat then I need a truck lol so it's win win
That sounds responsible!! haha nice work... put it on youtube... i'd watch it!
@@Micington thanks! And I will try to get footage, would be cool!
wow, a lot of hard work und plenty of ambition!
Looking forward to the next episode! Thanks for recording!
Thanks Philip! Appreciate the comment. Might be a week or so away, because I’m working big hours at work atm
Your killing it mate, doing a great job. 25ft Berty is my dream boat 👌
Thanks mate! Taking a lot longer then I thought!
@@Micington you know the old saying with any project mate, whatever time you thought it would take, double it, and whatever money you thought it would take, double it lol
I can’t believe what a job you’re doing. So much work!
Outstanding work and a great video - not easy to cram 2 yrs work into a short video - ignore the negative comments. Planning a 28 project now - no fly bridge bur hopefully keeping the 2 shaft drives with diesels. Are you interested in taking on another one :)
Hahah thank you! Was easier then getting the footage lol good luck with you 28!! It’ll be a beast! TH-cam it!! I still haven’t finished mine!! Haha
The whole thing looks brilliant. Look forward to seeing more of it. Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks mate!
Man that is an epic edit. It would have taken as long as the build! Keep up the good work. Look forward to the end product.
It’s just all my videos blobbed together hahaa but thanks! Think it’s better when I don’t narrate!
All my respect!!!!! Looks amazing!!!! Enjoy this boat with your family!!!!!
😃😊👍👏
Thanks you!
Beautiful.....just beautiful. I dream of doing that but I look at the space and tools you have and realize that may be out of my reach. Still dreamin' though.
If I can do it anyone can! Not that it’s done yet. Lol thanks for the kind words! And you can do it
Awesome build I'm going back to watch the earlier vids! Keep up the great work
Thanks! And thanks for the comment!
all this road traveled
wow
Been a loooooonnnggg road
Mate, this is an awesome video!
What's more awesome is the amount of bloody hard work you've done on this boat mate.
I'm impressed, but you should be proud of the effort you've put in!!!
Thanks a ton!
You have got these vids down pat mate I want to do the same but just don't know where to start if ya know what I mean your doin great work and are continuing to fuel the fire that helps me keep grinding away cant wait till I get to where you are at. Its looking really great and your vids are getting better and better thanks again for another entertaining episode looking forward to the next
Thanks heaps mate. The first few videos took me weeks to make because I was overwhelmed with the amount of unorganized pictures and videos! I had no space left to take more so I forced myself to finish em. Easier and more comfortable then grinding! Haha learn from my mistakes! I wouldn’t have drilled all the holesaw holes in the stringers, go in from the top straight away if u do stringer water tanks! And use vinyl ester resin with poly fillets inside tank. Cheaper and also gives you the option to put fuel in the stringers!
If you do hatches use aluminium strip backing with sika flex. So many things to make faster and cheaper.
I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on your channel! Do it! Surely my narrating would give you the courage!? Haha doesn’t get much worse then my dribble haha
Outstanding Craftsmanship, meticulously precise detail, this is truly a labour of love for one's family!
Subscribed.
Thanks mate!
Mick you're my best friend
Thanks for commenting. You’re my best friend
Awesome work
Thanks mate!
Hey my friend following and watching you from all the way in the Bahamas..... It may seem long and sometimes you question yourself if it was the right decision to spend all the time and money redoing this boat when you could just buy another in better shape and ready to go.... Just be encourage you'll get rewarded when it's in the water and you push the throttle down... Keep up the awesome work... 👍
Technology! Haha love to visit one day! Thank you for the encouragement! Some days have definitely been a struggle to get into the suit! I’ll probably cry with happiness when it goes into the water first time. Hahaha I don’t cry...
I’ll make sure I get it for TH-cam regardless
Crazy work! Really good to see the effort and time you're putting into it. Inspiring stuff
thanks mate! i appreciate the comment
Awesome work! Keep it up! Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Thanks mate
what a great job man!
Thank you! Cheers!
A trick I use on the painters suit is , instead of taping my wrist , I use hair ties or rubber bands.
Thankyou very much for the trick!
Man, great channel, nice build. All the best.
Thanks mate. Bit of a mullet (no frills) channel
Dude that was incredible! I was totally absorbed. That better be your boat :D
Cheers mate! Yep mine lol in a seagull voice
Amazing work, cant wait to see her finished. Level A suit must have been a bit warm!
Thanks mate! It’s real hot!
Looking awesome Kella I’ll pop over and have a look soon
Nate O
No probs thanks
Unreal work mate love the motivation you must have to attempt a project huge!
Thanks mate! Comments like yours help keep me motivated
Could you at some point do a no music, detailed narration of the project? I want to bring a Bertram 28 FBC back to life like this, but unfortunately don’t possess the skills. I can fix anything that requires standard tools, but all that glass work is beyond me, so I’m gonna have to start with a really solid boat.
I wish you all the best with your build. I’m sure if you want it bad enough You will be able to learn everything you need to know. It’s a mind, endurance , money game more than having skills to do it in my opinion.
I have made some videos without music. I hope some of my videos can help you.
My son was 2yo when I first got the boat. He just turned 8yo last week. lol
I’m currently away from home working so I haven’t released a video in a couple months sorry
You should document your build on TH-cam!
Thanks for the replies Capt. I gotta find a boat first. Looks like the 28’s had an 18 years or so run from early ‘70’s to ‘90 or so? Ive seen them priced from $20K to $90K.. in theory, the more I spend up front, the less I’ll need to do, but I’ll rely on a survey for that. Thanks again. I’ll check out more of your vids. You’re gonna have a totally new boat. Awesome.
If I did it again I’d spend the extra at the start. It just takes so much longer than you think to fix things. 9or me anyway. Doesn’t help that I keep making things harder lol 😂 but yes it will be a one of a kind. It’s so close to being done! Compared to 4yrs ago hahaha
The inside hull bottom could have done with a few layer of biaxal
is that sarcasm? hahah
9:26 is my favorite part where my son (Arnie) is... my little man from little man land
Cant wait for the next vid man
it’s a comin.. just wanna get bit more done so people don’t get bored
a lot of hard work but its going to worth it cheers
Bow thrusters on a 25 foot boat??? Ya lost me. Absolutely wonderful craftsmanship but my mind is blown.
Why not? Other then money. Easy to do now while my life is hell lol
That really is very cool and shows a lot of dedication as well as expertise. But please find some other music.
haha sorry! next musical will be different music
If you have text on the screen it needs to remain visible for at least 1/2 second per word with a minimum of 5 seconds for any sentence
Same goes with diagrams, and even longer delays if you have a split-screen view
Thanks mate I’ll keep that in mind for the next ones. It’s just all my videos blobbed together. I appreciate the comment!
Unreal workmanship, do you do this sort of stuff as a job also?
Thanks mate! Yes!
She would git up & boogie with a pair of Mercury’s new V12 - 600 Hp 4 bangers on the back on a pod. My 2c
Hahaha aw yep! I’ll sell my house! Haha
I’m so poor I didn’t even know you could get that much hp in an outboard! Hahah
@@Micington Yep! $🇦🇺98k each!
Truthfully one would do you for a 25 Berty.
What a beautiful boat ! Is it for sale?
Hahaha thank you. It’s not even finished yet! Lol
What a fucking legend!!!
Lol thanks!
Why not convert to outboards and avoid the maintenance nightmare that is stern drive?
I’ve never owned stern drives before. I liked the look of the berty without outboards… see what happens I might change if the stern d gives me too many problems
@@Micington Gotcha - the clean stern is very nice. Good luck on the build!
Love your work ,but the speed of the video is seizure inducing .
Thanks for the comment and constructive criticism. A couple of my mates said same thing haha
What year is it???🤔🤔🤔.. awesome boat.
Dunno what year sorry. Someone told me once but I forgot.. I think he said 1960ish???? it’ll be a 2021 model soon lol
My 25 ended up becoming short of 27/ but that’s okay -twin YAM 300, one rotaries differently
I’ve been told counter rotators don’t go as quick as same rotation. With twin 300’s I’m sure that’s not a problem hahaha
One minute in and I was about to have an aneurysm.
Hahaha sorry
where did you get the boat from
I’m in Australia. I got it a couple minutes from where I live in Queensland
The jumpy camera footage was really hard to watch, they took away from the work you are doing. Can you do steady motion on your next phase?
No probs will do! Thanks for the feedback!
And u went to one motor
I’m poor
I love Bertrams, been doing Marine Surveys for 35 years. Restored my own Bertram. A 20 Sportsman, find one of those. Awful music, way too fast. Two years in 15 minutes? I couldn’t even read the text fast enough!!
Good looking boats I think too! Yeeeerrr sorry about the musical. The 3yrs in 30min is worse lol
th-cam.com/video/rm60PDLZYFg/w-d-xo.html
I got slow videos of the work if you prefer? It’s a bit like polishing a turd trying to make fibreglassing exciting lol
Nope no water .water ain't positive flotation and as much and ugly it is under there it had a purpose positive flotation another Bernie build at 85 percent but amazing effort for an amateur good stuff
Should I call the boat Bernie? Haha Thanks for the comment. The stringer water tanks will be able to be drained... time will tell
@@Micington hey mate love the idea but I've had 3 close calls to sinking and all times it was the voids throughout the book and cranny that gave us an extra few mins but no tap gonna drain fast enough aftr u hit a shipping container i woulda went for bladder fuel option turn that whole floor in to massive esky storage bins wrapped in foam also hate the sound of water rocking around esp under the main floor would do my head in thinking im taking on water..blown away with your effort .noticed it dident take you long to invest in the right ppe.few sleepless itchy nights hey..good on u mate 🤘
nice project, still think the bowthruster is a waste of time... if u cant steer a 25foot boat into harbor without one then ur a shit captain...
Haha I like gadgets. Dunno why you hate em so much? I appreciate the comment anyway thanks!
@@Micington haha i guess its cause there are a lot of tourists renting boats over here... and they cant even park if they had 5 bowthrusters.. but experienced captain can park a boat faster wihout one..
next time dun max music.
You didn’t like music?
yea
I think I actually developed ADHD watching this.. far out.. too hectic and shit music. Maybe I am old.. maybe I should watch at 1/4 speed haha?
Haha sorry Leon! Do you just hate me now? Rest of the videos are slow goin haha
@@Micington Haha not at all mate.. just had me trippin haha. Might have to watch some of the slowed down models. Love the project and appreciate the time put into this. Massive commitment man
Thanks mate!
Camara flitting all over place, terrible music, it should carry a warning “could cause fits” the music is 132 bpm so is the camera angles could only watch for about 15 seconds
phew
Sorry mate. Haha
What horrible noise on that sound track!!
Hahaha sorry mate! Thanks for commenting anyway haha
The time lapse is way, way overdone. It should be used as a highlight only not the entire video. Very disconcerting to watch and definitely not worth the effort. A new one was doing the captions in time lapse as well so they could not be read if they did carry any worthwhile information. Give this a pass.
Sorry man. Thanks for the constructive criticism! When it’s done I’ll do slow clips of the important parts. I guess when I watch it fast I know what bits I’m doin. I know the writing turned out way to fast. Next ones will be better lol
Way to fast of cuts for all the movement, this video sucks.
Sorry mate. Do you just hate me now?
Music sucks
sorry man. im trying different tunes
