1979 BERTRAM 1979 MK1 BERTRAM 35

The 1979 Mk1 Bertram 35 is a true icon of offshore sportfishing - and this example represents a compelling opportunity to own one of the most respected bluewater fishing boats ever built. Price has been reduced and the vendor will consider all realistic offers, making this an exceptional buy. Constructed with molded solid fibreglass in a deep-vee hull with 19 degrees of deadrise at the transom, the Bertram 35 delivers the smooth ride, precise handling, and confident seakeeping that made this model legendary. Twin Cummins 6BTA 5.9 diesels were fitted in a full repower in 2008, providing reliable and responsive power offshore. Below decks, the classic Bertram 35 layout offers a well-appointed forward stateroom featuring a large double V-berth with a custom mattress, a full head with stall shower and vanity storage, and a generous galley-up configuration to port. The L-shaped galley includes a 115V Princess 3-burner electric stove and Sharp microwave. A lower helm sits to starboard, and a full-size sofa bed rounds out the comfortable interior. The spacious cockpit is purpose-built for serious fishing while remaining family-friendly for extended cruising. With a beam of 4.04m and all the hallmarks of Bertram quality craftsmanship, this Mk1 is a rare find in New Zealand. Contact Dave Radford today to arrange a viewing.
