Salesman Remarks
This 1962 31' Bertram Moppie is a classic sought after hull with a forward berth/cabin, upper
and lower helm stations and a tremendous amount of fishing space. The Moontide went through
an extensive restoration in 2008 at Huckins Yacht, and she's in excellent condition. The
fiberglass shines like new, brightwork has been replaced with new forward glass in the windows
and the new deck teak throughout make this boat really standout. Moontide has a custom
built live well and rigging station that is perfect for fishing in any area. Moontide is spacious
enough not only to fish but to also entertain. Anyone wanting to own a pristine 31' without
doing the extensive overhaul work should look at this vessel.
