1979 38' Bertram

Classic 38 Bertram Convertible battlewagon re-powered in 2000 with reliable and efficient John Deere diesel engines. Generator was replaced in 2022 as a major re-fit was being completed which included hull paint, interior cosmetics, and an extensive list of repairs, updates, and projects to make "Fisha-Tractor" reliable, insurable, and a pleasure to fish or cruise well into the future. Seller has spent last few years on and off refitting this boat due to overseas work.
