Over the winter I have been doing work on my 28 Bertram. I already had the deck removed to replace the tank so I decided to clean up the bilge area. The new tank was removed to be recoated in Steel flex epoxy. Some rotten wood was found in the center bulk head so that was cut out, replaced with marine ply, and glassed in. The wiring was not redone but I did go through all the wiring removing old unused wires as well as inspecting the remaining wires and marking where they went. The bilge got a coat of bilgekote to clean it up. Some new exhaust Y pipes. The decks got a new coat of Steel flex epoxy on them with some non skid added and a new paint job. My deck hatches were soft due to the core material having water in them so I removed the old core and glassed new Marine ply in and will be adding new hardware on the hatches to eliminate water from getting to the new core. Removed the hardtop to make it easier to trailer and added a bimini with curtains. I have to finish working on the non removable deck areas in the boat as well as the gunnels and the rest of the top cap but I will make a attempt to get all that done next week.
