Overview

This boat was restored from Dec. 2010 to 2012. Repowered in 2010 with currently only 150 hours, and continually updated over the last several years.  She is professionally maintained by L&H, a highly respected marine service company in South Florida.  You will not find a more comfortable or capable boat for anywhere near this price. The Bertram hull is legendary and with the custom features this one has, you will turn heads in any marina.  Be sure to check out the full specs to truly appreciate everything that has been done on this boat!

Introduction & Overview of 2010 Restoration

The 1976 28' Bertram Express Cruiser was built by Bertram Yachts, Miami, FL and was in production from 1971 to 1994. It was designed by marine architect Dave Napier. The heavy hull lay-up and quality fiberglass work is typical of the earlier built Bertrams. Older Bertrams of almost any size are highly sought after and they have retained or increased their market value.

The vessel has a deep-V hull design with 23 degree deadrise aft and a slight bow flare to give a drier ride. She has been completely repainted in 2010.  All the paint, hardware, electrical and mechanical work was done by the highly skilled craftsmen at L&H Boats of Stuart, FL.  L&H Boats is a well respected builder of custom boats and does high quality repairs and customization work on older vessels; they specialize in refinishing older Bertrams!

The hull bottom was soda blasted to remove years of bottom paint build-up. Voids in the fiberglass were filled and fared; and two coats of epoxy barrier coating were applied, then two coats of black Micron 66 anti-fouling bottom paint was applied.  The hull sides, cockpit sole, interior sides, side decks and seating areas were sanded and repainted with a white Alcraft 2000 high gloss finish.  All of the deck hardware from cleats, vent covers, hawse pipes, four rod holders, bimini top attaching hardware to windshield operators, have been replaced with new stainless steel parts.  The original custom style Bertram bow chock/navigation light was retained and rewired with new sockets and bulbs.  New white vinyl seat cushions were made for the dinette area and all teak trim has been refinished around the dinette and the parquet teak table.  Two new VHF antennas have been installed, a new raw water wash down pump and fittings were installed, and all the bilge pumps have been tested and rewired where necessary.  The steering cross bar, connecting hardware, rudder support tables, upper rudder bearings and two new rudders were installed by L&H in December 2010.  A new vinyl and stainless steel rub rail and fastening hardware were installed by L&H in November 2010.

The boat has two Marine Power, Inc. Sport Pac replacement engines in place.  They are counter rotating 350CID 310hp carbuerated, fresh water cooled gasoline engines with Velvet drive 1:52:1 reduction gear transmissions.  The 28' Bertram Express has a 160 gallon gasoline tank and this particular boat has an extra 100 gallon fuel tank!  Two Interstate Marine 4D 1312 CCA batteries (Sept. 2009) and a new 20amp 120volt marine batter charger have been installed.  There is a new Garmin 2006C Chartplotter multi-function display and a new Furuno 620 color depth sounder at the helm station.  The helm area has full instrument gauges, Morse dual throttle and speed controls, a Fireboy Halon automatic fire suppression system and Bennett trim tab control.

The 28 Bertram Express is set up to sleep two people in the V-berth and possibly and additional two at the convertible dinette opposite the helm station.  The boat is equipped with a marine head located between the V-berth and has a sink with cold water faucet behind the helm seat. A 25-gallon freshwater tank is located under the helm seat and tackle storage drawers are under the sink.  The bimini top is in two sections; the forward section attaches to the top of the windshield and extends just aft of the dinette seat.  The second section zips into the aft end of the front section and extends over the engine area of the cockpit.  The large aft cockpit area is ideal for fishing and can be fitted with either a fixed or portable fighting chair.

This is a very versatile vessel and can be enjoyed for fishing, scuba diving, or just coastal cruising.

Vessel Walkthrough & Accommodations

The forward-most cabin compartment has a forepeak opening locker for the anchor rode.  Just aft is a V-berth with storage underneath and an opening hatch overhead.  An electric marine toilet sits between the V-berth.  Toilet is porcelain and fully plumbed.  A hanging locker converted to shelving is aft to starboard, while a shelf locker is aft to port.

From here, a step up and aft is the fully canvas enclosed helm/seating area.  There is a raised dinette to port that converts to a spacious berth, and a helm station and galley counter to starboard.  Another step up and aft leads to the aft cockpit with engine compartments forward.  There are numerous opening hatches in the cockpit revealing mechanical components.
