COMPLETELY RE-DONE / RE-FIT ULTIMATE SPORT FISH ING MACHINE - WITH TOWER
$25,000
Blue Point, New York
PLEASE NOTE - THE BOAT WAS HAULED OUT A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO HURRICANE SANDY AND SUSTAINED NO DAMAGE. INCLUDED IN THE AUCTION PRICE IS STORAGE THROUGH THE 10/31/14 IF YOU CHOOSE TO KEEP THE BOAT AT THE MARINA. (Storage thereafter is $200 month) I WILL DELIVER THE BOAT BY WATER PERSONALLY TO THE NEWARK NEW JERSEY PORT FOR THE PRICE OF FUEL FOR INTERNATIONL BUYERS. The boat is for sale locally as well and I reserve the right to end the listing at any time. Up for Auction is a very rare find no less in this kind of condition. The Bertram 38 is one of the best sport fish hull designs ever made. The Cadillac of fishing machines. This boat has been cared for its entire life and it shows. It has been re-fit and updated in almost every possible way over the last 10 years. From engines to exhaust tips, wiring, lighting, outlets, gauges, paint, cabinetry, ceilings, carpet, bedding, The Tower, the list could go on and on and on. A small fortune and many many hours have been spent upgrading this boat in almost every possible way. Pretty much the only thing left from 1965 is a bullet proof hull with the structural integrity of a Sherman tank that rides like a Cadillac in almost any sea condition. Structural integrity –The structural integrity of this boat is beyond comprehension and description in words. The one piece hull is made up of layer upon layer of hand laid heavy thick fiberglass and resin and is probably 3 times stronger than anything you can find today and twice as thick as any hull that has been made in the last 30 years. Looking inside the hull you see results of and the definition of true craftsmanship and the pride that went into building this boat. Something you could never find today at any price. The strength of this hull provides a serious extra measure of safetyin the event you encounter any floating debris like a telephone pole or tree. The keel of this boat could probably withstand a major impact that would crack the hull and sink most other boats. If you properly installed a sharp angled piece of heavy steel on the forward entry point where the hull first hits the water….. you most probably could get the ABS (Amercian Bureau of Shipping) approval to change the boats rating to “ICE BREAKER” class-LOL. PLEASE SEE 3 LINKS TO 188 ADDITIONAL PICTURES OF THE BOAT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EBAY ADVERTISEMENT Engines: Powered by economical Twin Detroit Diesel 6v53 naturals with less than 350hrs since being completely rebuilt. They start right up, run great and smoke free. If maintained properly these naturally aspirated engines can last a lifetime. Unlike their turbo counterparts they are not pushed to their limits and beat on to drain every ounce of horsepower at the expense of reliability. The tranny’s shift properly and all controls operate as they should. The running gear is corrosion free. The bronze props, stainless shafts and struts are in excellent shape and vibration free. With 420hp and 880 ft. / lbs. of torque the boat will cruise at 15-16 knots though almost any condition and max out at around 20kts. Wiring: The boat has been completely rewired to perfection using the highest grade marine wiring though out. On the 110 side from the 2 - 30 amp shore power receptacles to the 110 volt breakers, switches, outlets, lights and 30 amp battery charger and everything in between. On the 12 volt side from the battery cables to the 12 volt breaker panel, switches, gauges, pumps and everything in between was all re-done to perfection. The Tower: Constructed by a true old school craftsman and custom made for this boat, it is a work of art. Installed about 5 years ago it is in near immaculate condition. The towers design, structural integrity and how it is perfectly mounted on the boat is mind boggling. You could probably lift the boat with a helicopter with the proper lines and rigging tied to the tower-LOL. It must be seen in person to truly be appreciated. It is only rivaled by structural integrity of the boat. If you called Atlantic Towers to replicate this tower there is no doubt in my mind it would be atleast 25k-30k installed.Here is a link to a used tinker toy tower compared to this one that the are asking almost 11,500 for and if you look in the link at the spec of the pictures in the tower ad it was over a 40k factory add on when new http://www.ebay.com/itm/HATTERAS-YACHTS-53-CONVERTIBLE-12-1-2-FOOT-ALUMINUM-MARLIN-BOAT-TOWER/141131261043?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D23423%26meid%3D7714795562983720754%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D10050%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D200819663329 The Hull: From the bottom paint to from the rub rail the original gel coat is in excellent condition with barely a nick or ding anywhere and has a beautiful glossy finish. The bottom is in amazing shape. It only has a few coats of bottom paint since all the old paint was removed. Topside was recently painted, shines away and is in very nice condition. Thru- hulls: All thru-hulls have been changed and updated about 10 years ago. They are in great shape / open and close freely and are leak free. The Interior: The interior is in amazing shape. Some of the side walls and ceilings of the interior is actually original Bertram gel coat and have a glossy shine like new. The ceilings in each and every room where they are not the original gel coat were redone few years ago using high end marine fabric and trimmed with teak, they are in mint near flawless condition throughout. This year brand new heavyweight Berber carpet was installed throughout the entire boat. The V-Berth bed and 2 twin bed mattresses were also replaced this year with high end custom fit dense temper pedic type foam beds. They are so comfortable you don’t want to get out of bed in the morning. All new bedding this year and curtains were replaced as well. A few years ago brand new custom made teak cabinets were installed in the salon that hold the built in fridge, kitchen sink, microwave, 2 burner electric stove, stainless toaster oven and has plenty of additional storage as well. In the salon running the entire starboard side all new matching teak panels were also installed. Fuel System / Range: The boat is currently rigged with a 350 gallon fiberglass fuel tank that is in nice shape and leak and issue free. When the engines were rebuilt all new fuel lines were installed throughout. At a mellow cruise of about 14-15 knots your burning around 6-7 gph a side giving you a range of about 300 miles, coming home with about 20% of fuel. There is room to add up to more 3 tanks if you want to extend the range. The forward cockpit hatch which had the old antiquated generator could easily fit a 175-200 gallon tank or if you wanted to save that spot to re-install a generator you could add Saddle tanks on the outside of each engine gaining about 100-125 gal each, depending on your preference. Comforts: There is a built in 12,000 Btu A/C in the salon that cools the whole boat very nicely and also a 5000btu thru hatch portable unit for the forward cabin if you want A/C with the cabin door closed for privacy. There is a brand new hot water heater and its also equipped with a 100 gallon water tank so you have hot and cold water in the shower, bathroom and kitchen sinks. The head, holding tank and all plumbing lines and pumps in between are only a few years old and function as they should. Storage: Throughout the boat is plenty of storage. You can store 6 rods in ceiling of salon and 6 in forward cabin. The Forward cabin has 2 huge carpeted lockers, 2 dry storage areas under the V berth itself at the foot of the bed and under the bed itself. There is also an additional closet in the hall. The second cabin which contains 2 beds has a closet, a huge built in shelved storage area by the lower bunk and a built in night table with plenty of draw space as well. The bathroom has a very large 2 shelved storage area above the sink and plenty of storage below the built in sink set up as well. Lighting: Throughout the boat there is a mix of 12 volt and 110 lighting in each cabin area. All running, cabin and spreader lights operate as they should.

You can spin her on a dime. This is because the chines are above the water where they won’t dig in. In high speed turns, her outside chine rises well clear of the water where it won’t catch and trip, while her longitudinal steps stop side slips. LESS ROLL – In a Beam sea, the boat is very stable because the V sections develop a strong righting action. Longitudinal steps act as bilge keels which dampen roll. The boat also sits proportionally deeper and is less disturbed by surface waves. Steers easy in following Sea –Because the Bertram has neither flat sections aft nor a sharp forefoot she performs very well steering in following seas at high or low speeds or trying to get in the inlet on a bad day. Unlike the flat aft sections of many conventional hulls that will pitch forward, yaw or even broach in bad weather. Softer ride –Due to the hull design not having an aft planning surface to jolt and jar the boat, the boat will ride more easily through rough seas and be able to cruise comfortably at considerable higher speeds than conventional boats of the same size. Drier Ride– The Bertram’s longitudinal steps throw water out low and flat where it won’t blow back aboard. I COULD GO ON AND ON FOR ANOTHER FEW PAGES BUT I WILL STOP MYSELF-LOL TERMS: $500 immediate deposit through PayPal, with the balance due by cash, personal check or wire transfer only within 7 days.

The buyer must schedule an inspection within 10 days of close of this listing/auction. Any potential buyer can pay for a survey to be done prior to close. The buyer is responsible for all costs and arrangements associated with a survey. The seller will allow one sea trial and one short haul if requested and paid for by the buyer. There is a local yard less than 1 mile from the dock that can haul the vessel. If after the survey the buyer does not wish to purchase the vessel based on the survey the deposit will be returned. A copy of the survey must be provided to the seller at no cost to the seller. ***The engines were remanufactured by Marine Systems( Cummins dealer in Florida). I have the paperwork. I replaced Cummins 903VTA engines with the current engines. At the time I also installed new gage panels, new ZF gears, new exhaust elbows, new Aquamet shafts, new struts, new cutless bearings, new nibral propellors. The bottom was barrier coated with 6 coats of two part interlux barrier coat. This past year I installed new aftercoolers($4900)and seawater pumps with new SeaMax pumps ($1800) from Seaboard Marine. Why? Because I'm a big fan of offshore reliability. On a scale of 1 to 10 the boat ranks as follows: mechanical 10, hull integrity 10, electrical 9.5. Overall, the boat is a solid 8.5. I have not used the boat as much as I would have liked to but my age and health have been factors. I am convinced there is not a better deal on a boat of this caliber in the country today. If I were ten years younger with fewer health problems I would accept no less than $100,000 for this boat. ****This boat is for sale locally and I reserve the right to stop this listing/auction at anytime.
