In 2016 we started the 2 year process of restoring this 1969 Bertram Sportsman. This is a true center console, not one of the runabouts that have been converted. Everything was replaced. The deck was cut off, all foam removed, replaced, etc. We went with a new mercruiser engine and out drive. All wiring was replaced. All metal products were sent out for replating. This boat is essentially brand new. Feel free to contact me with any questions. 860 227 7048.
