1989 Bertram 50 Convertible

This 1989 Bertram 50 Convertible is a fiberglass sportfish powered by twin Detroit Diesel 8V92TA engines producing 735 horsepower each, paired with reliable Allison transmissions. The port engine has 20 hours since major overhaul while the starboard engine shows 600 hours. Two generators support ship's power: an 11-kilowatt Kohler on the starboard side with 300 hours, and an original 8-kilowatt Onan on the port side with 1,600 hours.

The yacht accommodates overnight guests with two staterooms and two heads, along with galley-down galley and a spacious main salon suited for entertaining. The cockpit is rigged for serious fishing, featuring a Glasstech tackle center, Murray Brothers fighting chair, Rupp three-spreader outriggers, cockpit freezer, sink, and large livewell.

Recent mechanical maintenance includes dripless shaft packing installed in 2023, rudder shafts rebuilt in 2019, and a steering ram rebuilt in 2021. The air conditioning system includes a midship unit completely replaced in 2018 and a salon AC compressor renewed in 2024. Electronics are comprehensive: Furuno Navnet 3D with 12-kilowatt 72-mile radar, Furuno 700 autopilot, primary and backup Furuno fishfinders with transducers, Floscan fuel flow meters, Garmin 3210 GPS, ICOM 504 VHF, and KVH TV5 satellite system. The boat comes with spare props that have been reworked by a prop specialist, original Bertram wiring and plumbing diagrams, and original owners' documentation.
