Default Bertram Yacht sold July 2015

About Bertram Yacht
Bertram Yacht got its start in 1960 when founder Dick Bertram—yacht broker,
bluewater sailing-yacht racer, and powerboat racer—built the first Bertram, the
31-foot Moppie. Built to replicate the deep-V hull that smashed records in the
1960 Miami to Nassau Ocean Power Boat Race, the Bertram 31 launched a line
of performance and sportfishing boats ranging up to 80 feet long that would be
known for their excellent ride and seakeeping in unforgiving conditions. The
company and its legend grew, thanks to many noteworthy models, including the
Bertram 28, 46, and 54, that made their mark on the fishing world. In 2015
Bertram was acquired by a group headed by Beniamino Gavio. This boatbuilding
entrepreneur and avid boater is involved with Baglietto and CCN and is
committed to returning this iconic American brand back to its roots.

Bertram hasn't built a good boat/hull in years.......good luck to the new owner but that company is going to need a lot of capital and new successful designs to recover to the level it was in it's glory days.

When I was in Clearwater early this summer I went for a ride on Richard Masterys beautiful restored and updated with twin Yanmar 315s 1968 Bertram 31.

Such a COOL Classic

Bertram has always built heavy hitters. Only bad boy diesels ment for big water. My 2 cents
