1981 BERTRAM 42 SPORTFISH RIGGED TO FISH YOUR HEART OUT. LONG-TIME OWNERS
This beautiful classic 1981 Bertram 42 Sportfish vessel comes with a pair of Detroit Diesel 6-92 435hp engines and a capacity of 600 gallons of diesel!
The Bertram is loaded and rigged to fish! The owners have loved her for a very long time, yet it is time for her to move along to a new home.
Fully rigged for fishing, plus a 12kw generator and an air conditioner, will make for a very comfortable trip. This classic is designed for long-haul trips to get you to where the fish are always biting. And to keep you on site for days if desired!
Large tuna tower, outriggers, large fishing deck, and upper helm! Plus tons of space to live and entertain, along with four berths in two cabins, V Birth and bunk room - allowing for up to six sleeping capacity.
There is no live/bait well. Everything is plumbed for the live/bait well, but the owner decided to use a portable/removable well that was used only while fishing. The live well is currently stored and available. Removing it allowed them more entertainment room while at dock.
The sealed life raft housed on the bow is fully equipped and ready to use in an emergency.
