1996 Bertram 36' Convertible

This 1996 Bertram 36 Convertible was delivered new to the Great Lakes and has remained in fresh water throughout its life. Built during a distinctive transition period in Bertram's ownership, it represents one of the less common examples from this era.

The yacht combines a deep-V hull design with a 13-foot beam and reverse chines for offshore capability. The solid fiberglass bottom and cored hull sides support a two-stateroom layout with galley—an unusually generous interior for a convertible of this size. The cockpit is notably spacious, featuring a transom gate and large swim platform suitable for entertaining and water sports.

Power comes from a single Caterpillar 3208 diesel engine rated at 435 horsepower, with 1,305 engine hours and 586 hours on the 8 kW Northern Lights generator. The boat cruises at 24–26 knots.

Equipment includes a full suite of Raymarine electronics, satellite television, reverse-cycle air and heating, and a half tower with fiberglass hardtop and enclosures. The interior features Corian countertops and shows minimal wear. The yacht has been heated and stored indoors since new.
