1986 Bertram Express

This boat was named "38 Special" by Bertram for a reason. This boat is set up like a much larger sportfish. She is easy to operate and has some of the best equiptment. Northern Lights 8KW Gen, 2 Northstar GPS maps, 64 Mi Furuno Radar, Simrad AP 20 with AP22 Tower remote, Furuno 582 Color Sounder, B&G Network Quad, Twin Disc EC 200 Electronic controls with -variable slow troll-variable fast troll-slow idle-fast idle , A/C, Refigerator, Microwave, , Murray Bros. Helm and Fighting Chair, EZ2CY, spare props etc... AS per "THE POWER BOAT GUIDE" The Bertram 38 Special is a high-quality, fast-action sportfiserman with a huge fishing cockpit for serious tournament-level pursuits. Her hull is the same as that used in the 38 III Convertible... The design philosophy behind the "38 Special" was to give the bluewater angler a pure, no-nonsense fishing machine with good performance and plenty of range. Visibility from the raised helm position is very good. A hatch provides routine access to the engines. and the entire command deck sole is removable for major work. Caterpillar 375-hp diesels were standard and GM 6V71TAs 435-hp were optional for a faster cruise and easy refreshing of the sleeved motor. This is a three owner boat. I as a broker helped the 2nd owner buy it from the original owner in 2001. Then I helped the current owner buy it from the second owner. All 3 owners were well financially and have done the best for this boat. The first owner even kept her in a boat house. I have over 200 hours on the boat personally. If you want a boat that will get you home when the weather gets rough, that will raise fish, has a long range, is a go anywhere fishing maching with nice comforts, that gets comments at the dock and has a name and reputation as one of the finest fishing machines, this is it. The added benefit is you get me to help you learn the boat.call 561-723-2000
