Bertram 35: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Bertram 35FB is a modern reinterpretation of the classic Bertram 31, maintaining the iconic design DNA while introducing contemporary features. This model emphasizes spaciousness, functionality, and fishing capability, making it a versatile choice for enthusiasts who appreciate both style and performance.
Cockpit and Exterior Features
One of the standout attributes of the Bertram 35FB is its expansive cockpit, offering 126 square feet of space that allows for easy movement around the area. The cockpit is designed with two shaded lounges positioned atop the engine compartments, providing comfortable seating and relaxation options. The layout facilitates effortless access to the fishing areas and supports active use, reflecting the boat’s fishing heritage.
Engine Access and Power
The boat features straightforward engine access, revealing twin 7.1-liter, 500-horsepower Caterpillar engines. Centrally located is a 7.1 kW generator, with a SeaKeeper gyro stabilizer positioned just aft. This arrangement not only simplifies maintenance but also contributes to the vessel’s robust power and stability on the water.
Flybridge Design
The flybridge is thoughtfully designed with three individual ladder-back helm seats, each ergonomically positioned for optimal visibility and comfort. The helm itself is center-mounted and equipped with two large multifunction displays flanking a central engine monitor, complemented by a compass directly in front. The helm console is finished in carbon fiber, enhancing both aesthetics and durability. Behind the helm seats, there is an optional double-wide bench seat that can be removed to improve cockpit visibility and functionality during serious fishing activities.
Fishing Features and Storage
Reflecting its fishing-oriented roots, the Bertram 35FB includes practical features such as overhead rod storage within the cabin area. This thoughtful integration keeps fishing gear organized and readily accessible, supporting the boat’s role as a capable sportfishing platform.
Private Accommodations and Overnight Capability
The boat offers overnight accommodations, although the cabin is initially open-plan without privacy. However, privacy can be easily established by closing a door secured with a magnetic catch and raising a panel at the top, creating a comfortable and private space for extended trips. This design balances openness with the option for seclusion when needed.
Additional Details
A notable detail includes the presence of shut-off valves controlling the sink, demonstrating Bertram’s attention to functional design elements. Overall, the 35FB maintains the classic Bertram character while incorporating modern innovations, resulting in a timeless yet contemporary vessel.
Conclusion
The Bertram 35FB successfully blends the heritage of the original 31 with modern enhancements, delivering a spacious cockpit, powerful engines, a well-appointed flybridge, and practical fishing features. Its thoughtful design supports both day fishing and overnight excursions, making it a versatile and appealing option for boating enthusiasts.
