1973 Bertram Flybridge Cruiser

Classic Bertram Quality with updated electronics, electrical and more. Mechanic Owned, this boat runs well and can fish today, but it's a great candidate for cosmetic restoration. Recent top end rebuild on both engines. Make an offer.

Large aft cockpit allows for several chairs and a table to be set up. The engine compartment is forward and 1 step up from the aft cockpit. There is complete access to both engines as the entire deck can easily be removed. Forward through the companionway down two short steps to enter the main salon. The removable dinette table is to starboard and the enclosed head is to port. The dinette has storage drawers underneath. The head has an electric toilet with a sink and vanity. Forward to port is the galley with a Uline refrigerator built in. There is  plenty of counter space and a sink with pressure water. A new 25 gallon water tank was installed in 2007.  There is an electric cooker  for cooking. Just forward of the galley is a storage locker that can be locked. this is where the present owner keeps his elctronics. Across the way is a custom built chart table with a large drawer. Under the table is a large storage area for life preservers etc.  The vee berth is full width and has a memory foam matress. There is a custom built professionally installed electric panel that the previous owner had installed. There is a hatch that opens for ventilation and light. The anchor locker is forward and can be accessed by a small cabinet door.

Overall the boat is clean and bright inside and it's set up to be a comfortable weekend home either at anchor or in the slip.
