The 1989 Bertram 50 Convertible is built on the brand's proven deep-V hull design in solid fiberglass, engineered for capable offshore fishing and coastal cruising. Twin Detroit Diesel 8V92 engines deliver the power and reliability this platform is built around, with approximately 3,200 hours on the engines. The boat has been actively used and consistently maintained, regularly running between San Diego and Catalina Island.
The cockpit is purpose-built for fishing, equipped with a tuna tower and full controls, outriggers, multiple rod holders, a glassed-in bait tank, kill box, and a full bait prep station with sink and cutting surface. Cockpit controls for docking and a top-loading freezer round out the fishing setup. Simrad NSS EVO3s multifunction displays handle navigation, paired with Simrad autopilot, VHF radios, wind indicator, and rudder angle indicator. An Ideal electric windlass with foot controls assists with deck operations.
Below, the accommodations include two heads with separate showers, a well-appointed galley with Sub-Zero refrigeration and convection oven, and a climate-controlled salon suitable for extended cruising. Cruisair air conditioning and heating provide year-round comfort. A Village Marine Tec reverse osmosis watermaker supports extended time away, and Starlink internet is installed onboard. The boat comes with a Zodiac 12-foot center console tender with 40-horsepower Yamaha engine and davit system for launching and recovery.
