Beautiful Bertram 38 MKIII! Powered by twin 3208TAs! 8 KW Onan generator, absolute battlewagon sportfishing boat!
The 1987 Bertram 38 MKIII is a classic offshore sportfishing convertible that has earned a reputation for rugged construction, excellent sea-keeping ability, and timeless Bertram styling.
This is the last production year of the highly regarded 38 MKIII, a model that combined a proven deep-V hull with a large cockpit, tournament-style flybridge, and comfortable accommodations.
The spacious cockpit provides an ideal platform for serious offshore fishing, while the flybridge gives the captain excellent visibility and a commanding position underway.
The proven Bertram deep-V hull is designed to provide a solid, capable ride offshore, making the 38 MKIII equally appealing to serious anglers and cruising families.
Below deck, the two-stateroom interior provides comfortable accommodations, with a spacious salon and practical galley arrangement that make this boat well suited for weekends away or extended cruising.
This particular Bertram has received significant mechanical attention and offers several important upgrades and maintenance items that should give the next owner confidence. The 2,000-hour service has been completed, helping keep the engines properly maintained and ready for continued use.
Four cutlass bearings have been installed, and the propellers were professionally scanned and tuned. The shafts are equipped with dripless seals, providing an additional modern improvement to the running gear and helping minimize the maintenance associated with traditional stuffing boxes.
Electrical needs are well covered with an 8KW Onan generator, providing dependable onboard power for the vessel's systems, whether you're spending a weekend at anchor or heading offshore. The generator adds the flexibility needed for air conditioning, appliances, electronics, and other onboard equipment without requiring shore power.
With its classic Bertram pedigree, proven offshore hull, large cockpit, and spacious accommodations, this 1987 Bertram 38 MKIII offers a terrific combination of classic sportfishing character and thoughtful mechanical upgrades.
There is lots more to appreciate aboard this well-equipped Bertram, making it a boat that deserves a serious look from anyone searching for a capable and proven 38-foot convertible.
