Andy of BoatworksToday is restoring a 1972 Bertram Moppy 25, a project spanning four years of intermittent work.0:14 The vessel underwent a major conversion from inboard engines to an outboard configuration using an Armstrong bracket.6:52 Structural repairs include a completely rebuilt foredeck using 1708 fiberglass and fairing compound, a new transom to address stress-load and moisture concerns, and the replacement of original plastic bulkheads with Kusa board.11:07 The helm console required extensive patching of old gauge holes to accommodate modern digital displays.12:23

Current challenges include an improperly balanced trailer setup, which lacks sufficient tongue weight with the twin Honda 130 outboards mounted.16:10 This weight distribution issue raises concerns about potential scupper flooding once the boat is launched.16:24 Additionally, the heavy fiberglass fuel tank may require replacement with a lighter aluminum version.14:58 The project remains unfinished as the owner evaluates whether to complete the interior for personal use or for sale as a fishing vessel.19:56 Proper structural reinforcement and weight management are critical when converting older hulls for modern outboard power.
