1972 Bertram sport fish for sale. Recent engines with under 300 hrs. recent Awlgrip. This classic Bertram is ready to go!
With many updates/upgrades this Beautiful 28 represents a perfect example of a contemporary classic that people look for in a well kept Bertram. We took her from Jamestown to Allen's harbor at the end of October. She cruised along quietly at 15 to 18 knots with very little effort. She is a dream to handle. With her twin engines, and smooth transmissions, docking is very easy.
Recent improvements include:
- New engines in 03
- New fuel tank in 07
- Hull Awlgripped 04
- New drip less stuffing boxes 03
- Upgraded AC system (not sure of year)
- Bottom stripped and barrier coated professionally 05
Layout:
- The fly bridge is well laid out with all controls easily usable from the bench seat. There is room for three adults on the recently re-upholstered bench. A canvas Bimini top keeps thing shady and cool.
- The covered aft deck is a great place to hunt big fish, set up water toys, or to sit back and watch the sunset.
- Heading bellow to the cabin is a treat, with a very classic feel. While the boat has had many upgrades most of the new gear is well hidden, giving the boat a very original style.
- In the main cabin there is a helm station to starboard, with a settee behind it. The galley is to port forward. It has a refrigerator, microwave, Stainless sink with hot and cold water, and lots of stowage. The private head is aft to port, with hot and cold sink, lockers, and a Mansfield vacuum flush toilet system plumed to a holding tank.
