This is my literal dream boat. Growing up fishing in the 80s these were the holy Grail of offshore boats. I would literally only be at the dock to get fuel and bait. The canyons of NJ would be it's home port 😂

So much better than out Boards! Lord Jesus what a beauty

what a beautiful boat my god, then the repower made it better then it ever could be stock.. great work great boat !

Live the sound of the turbos !

Sweet boat, power plants, and AWESOME sound!

Awesome. Love the story telling behind the Cummins power. We love these machines because of the shared experiences and common bond of the love of boats. Keep it up.

Tony and Crew - love the videos. Keep'em coming.

Well done boys! Proud of that baby!!

Yeah…. My favorite boat ever!… awesome!

Growing up on long island fishing out of fire island inlet the 31 and 25 were the shit

5:30 your totally hauling ass!!! Love the spooling turbos!

Looks like a fun day work.

Bad ass boat!!

Bertram The best boat on the water then and now , I'm in the middle of building one myself with cummins 5.9 12v but boosting to 500hp can't wait to be done my est 51 knot WOT. she did 34 knots with 454's stock but your wallet would be empty quickly

You do not want to install a 12 valve they are sluggish although good fuel mileage with the right delivery valves and turbo set up. A common rail is much more tunable and much more horsepower also good fuel mileage

Very nice boat and motores!!Here in the Greece the profesional boats only Cummis!!!

Knew as soon as this video was playing that it was here at the Channel Islands harbor, buddy of mine has a Bertram 31 on the opposite side facing toppers on A slip

when i was with Cummins in NSW Au, i went for an install inspection, 504 v8, the shaft was so far out of alignment the twin disc chattered, the drunken crew actually wanted to deal to me, clock dialed angle and parallel alignment , no noise

wow that`s flying, I`m guessing that`s a heavy boat

Wow 😋😉🤗💯👌

Great video. Sorry guys knots is the correct speed measurement for flybridge boats. The exception is speedboats which can be in km/h or mph. I know Bertram’s are heavy boats but I was expecting around 36-37 knots for this amount of horsepower still 34.3 knots is moving.

@SeaboardMarineIncVideos

MPH is a valid measurement of speed, sure its not conventional but we were using a phone app that displayed MPH, assuming most of you know the difference. As for expecting more speed. Most boat builders tend to over prop their boats which will gain a few MPH on the top end at the cost of long term overall performance. As the boat gains weight/equipment, the bottom becomes fouled, engines age, etc, having a more conservative prop will ensure good performance in the long run and is easier on the engines and running gear.

It is dangerous and illogical especially considering you have so many of the newer cars which have amber turn signals. Anyway. Loved all my time in the US everyone is super polite.

That's awesome. Outboards certainly have some good traits. Power to weight is a definite strength. For high speed boats they are a good option.

Going to check out a Bertram 31 with twin 5.9 370hp Cummins, owner is saying fast cruise is 27knots/16gph. That sound somewhat accurate.

They have a nice fly bridge. Some people much prefer to pilot their boat from up top. This is a more extreme case of that. Everyone has their own idea of the perfect boat. How boring would it be if they were all the same? At the time of this video the planned enclosure for the top was not completed.

Is it possible to take a 6bta 250 hp Cummins and make it into a 270 or even a 315 hp 6bta? Can I just change fuel pump injectors and turbo or is there something different?

I would ask this... Do you really want to burn that kind of fuel? to make 300HP you'll be burning 15 gal per hour. How often are you really running WOT and wishing you had just a little more top end?

It is possible to get more ponies, but its not cheap or simple. Just like all engines more ponies is basically More fuel, More Air and More cooling, More fuel = adjusting, possibly replacing the injection pump plus all new injectors, More Air = probably new aftercooler and larger turbo, ... More cooling = possible new raw water pump and other plumbing etc.. Probably well over 10K per motor, better off selling those and Buying some Recon's
