1984 26 Bertram Moppie
Classic, Unmodified, and Rarely Found in this Condition
An exceptional opportunity to own a true classic, this 1984 26 Bertram "Moppie" is an unspoiled gem that has been lovingly maintained and preserved by just two owners since new. The current owner of 23 years is reluctantly offering this boat for sale, creating a rare chance to own a piece of Bertram history. Being One of 52 and a Straight Inboard model, the engines are located midship to give ample cruising and fishing room in the cockpit, as well as providing a more balanced ride.
She has never been fished as she has spent her entire life as a gentleman's runabout and day cruiser, used primarily for day trips and weekend cruising.
Bertram quality and craftsmanship that boasts a well-preserved classic hull design, renowned for performance and sea-keeping and powered by twin Crusader engines that have been rebuilt in 2016 and has 130 hrs (1350 total). Recent bottom job completed.
