Picking Boats by the Side of the Road - Potential Gem Discovered - 28' Bertram for 30K!

Published 2024-06-20
Is it old? Yes, undoubtedly it's gonna have some pain points if you own it given it's almost 50 year age, but man o man is it beautiful and with what I believe are gas inboards, should be relatively easy to maintain.
In addition to the Bertram, we get to see a 21' Release, a 25' ProLine and a classic 13' Whaler. Which would you pick and why?

I knew that boat was your pick as soon as you mentioned it.
-
That Bert is an $8,500 boat at best. I've seen 10 in Virginia and North Carolina same shape for under $10k and they are not moving!
-
I would say 2 strokes are more reliable than 4S. You won't see any 4S still running 50 years later.
-
That bert is such a cool rig. Would love to have one 😎
-
Dude, the bird poo in the middle is making me go cross eyed. Cmon man…….
-
I just don't get it. Do people seriously get those prices?!?! USED boats. BOATS!!!!!! And that pro line is a 90s 😂😆😂 WTF. You should come down my way around Philly. Boats are no lie a third for the same thing. That Pro Line when it was brand new wasn't over $60 grand 😂😆😂 in the 90s. That Bertram better have brand new yanmars for 30k. I just can't
-
The Release would be my choice, those I beam aluminum trailers are expensive. Nice job.
-
3 stations is crazy on that Bert, but hey, free country. Unless those engines are new, it’s not a $30k boat. I would have skipped one of the stations and put that money into a hardtop or tower and some isinglass 🤷🏻♂️. That said, I love these boats and would probably give him $18-19k tomorrow
-
I owned a 13' Whaler and a 28' Bertram way back when John. I ran that Bertram offshore Tuna fishing quite a few times. Terrific boat that never let me down & ran great in rough water. Can't go wrong with that Bertram IMHO! 👍👍

Bought for 55k selling for 55k 6 years later
-
Any inboard gas boat is not moving. BTW...the dirt on the windshield is killing me, lol
-
I did some research on release boats when I was looking to buy. Alot of complaints about wiring and poor components.
-
45 large for that pro line that's nuts maybe i need to sell my hydra sport with 2017 twin 200 two strokes with about 150 to 200 hours with trailer ??? on the south shore
-
That proline is way over priced. I dont think it’ll fetch over 30k unless its repowered with 4S
-
I've been seeing alot of deals out there lately......
-
A 22 year old Proline (Proline is now closed down) roller trailer of similar age with the second worst marine outboards ever made the Opti Pop's for $43k, this is the definition of buying someone else's problem. Good luck finding a mechanic that is both willing and has the ability to service those engines then get ready for huge service bills to take care of those temperamental POS's. I would not buy that boat for $25k, engines and trailer are junk, I'm sure the electronics are the same vintage the.
-
Cmon, how could you skip over taking a look at the Sea Ray right next to the Bert? I know you’re a fishing boat guy but those SR from those years are really nice boats.
-
Do you know anything about the wellcraft steplift? Is it worth to buy one, I see some that are all rotted but all fiberglass on the outside?
-
Everybody’s garbage is worth gold after the corona do people not remember what used boats used to go for
-
Why make videos of these boats if u dont get video of the whole boat???
