1988 Bertram 28 Sport Fisherman

This 1988 Bertram 28 Sport Fisherman is built on the design principles that made the brand synonymous with offshore fishing capability. The deep-V fiberglass hull delivers a solid, planted ride with soft entry and predictable handling—qualities that have kept Bertram 28s working the water for decades. Powered by twin Mercruiser engines producing 520 horsepower, the boat balances the stability needed for serious offshore runs with the efficiency and handling of a compact, manageable platform.

The open cockpit is purpose-built for fishing, with room to work gear, troll, drift, and process catch. The cabin provides genuine versatility for overnighting or sheltering from weather, expanding the boat's range for extended trips. The layout reflects the practical, no-nonsense approach Bertram applied to working boats.

The construction reflects an era when seaworthiness and strength were built in rather than added on. The fiberglass hull and overall build quality represent the solid, overbuilt approach that defined the brand during its offshore fishing heyday. This is a boat designed to go, not simply to dock.
