1978 Bertram 31

This 1978 Bertram 31 represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic offshore hulls ever built in a center console configuration. Under the same ownership since 2006, the boat has been structurally converted to a center console layout, offering open deck space and a simplified platform ideal for a full custom refit.

Both engines were overhauled in 2017 but have not been run since. As such, the vessel is offered strictly on an as-is, where-is basis, with no representations beyond what is stated. This is an honest project boat, priced accordingly, and intended for a buyer who understands the value of the Bertram 31 hull as a foundation rather than a turnkey solution.

The Bertram 31 requires no introduction. Its deep-V hull remains the reference for offshore performance, stability, and predictability in challenging conditions. Even in project form, it offers a structural platform that many modern boats continue to emulate.

This example is best suited for a knowledgeable owner or yard seeking a cost-effective entry point into a Bertram 31 refit. Whether restored as a hardcore fishing machine or reimagined as a modern open offshore runner, the potential is clear.

An urgent sale creates a compelling opportunity to secure an iconic hull at an accessible price point
