Bushwacker Boat | 31' Bertram 1972

QUALITY TRADES CONSIDERED. Here's your chance to own a professionally restored and rare Bertram 31 Hardtop Cruiser with Cummins diesel power. She was beautifully restored from the stringers up by John Patnovic and the skilled craftsman at Worton Creek Boatworks in Chestertown, Maryland originally for George Collins of Chessie Racing fame. Unlike the other Bertam 31 Models, very few of the Hardtop Cruisers, also known as the "Sedan" models, were ever built. Current owner performed another major update in 2022-23 at Marsh Harbor Boatyard in Beaufort, South Carolina which included an entire paint job, new Garmin Electronics, new softgoods and updates to all mechanical systems. More than $100,000 worth of detailed receipts from this update are available to serious buyers upon request. This boat must be seen to appreciate. Even the original Bertram emblems were sent out by the yard for chrome plating. A link to a Soundings magazine article describing the original restoration is also available upon request. Some of the notable features and updates include;

  • Entire boat repainted w/ Awlcraft 2000 in 2022
