Description
"CAST OFF" HAS RECIEVED MANY UPDATES OVER THE YEARS AND HAS BEEN RE-POWERED WITH CUMMINS CTA 450 HP ENGINES, WHICH ARE ARGUABALLY THE BEST DIESEL ENGINES EVER PRODUCED FOR MARINE POWER APPLICATIONS IN THIS HORSEPOWER RANGE. HER GENERATOR HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED WITH PHASOR 9KW GENERATOR .
THE BERTRAM 38' CONVERTIBLE 38III IS A CLASSIC SPORTFISHERMAN AND LIKE OTHER BERTRAM MODELS, SHE IS KNOWN AS A TRUE OFFSHORE BATTLE WAGON THANKS TO HER RUGGED CONSTRUCTION AND EXCELLENT HULL DESIGN. SHE FEATURES A DEEP-V HULL DESIGN WITH A 17 DEGREE DEADRISE, WHICH IS LESS THAN MANY OTHER BERTRAM MODELS THAT WERE KNOWN FOR ROCKING AT REST WHILE AT SEA.
The Bertram 38 III replaced the original Bertram 38 Convertible built from 1970 through 1976. Faster, lighter and roomier than her predecessor, the 38 III’s large cockpit and tournament-style flybridge made her well suited for serious sportfishing events. Her two-stateroom floorplan is set up with an a spacious in-line galley that runs the entire starboard side of the salon. Note that in 1982 Bertram replaced the original Nautilex cockpit sole with a fiberglass deck (a major improvement), and teak interior woodwork became standard. A total of 331 Bertram 38 IIIs were sold making her one of the best selling 38-foot sportfishing boats ever built.
