Owner Experience Review

Owners gravitate to the 60 ConvertiblefromBertram Yachtfor its offshore credibility. The David Napier–derived deep‑V delivers a heavy, solid ride that stays composed in big water, with predictable manners that inspire confidence. It isn’t the most nimble boat in tight marinas, but at sea it feels planted; market listings commonly cite a typical cruise in the high‑20s to around 30 knots, with mid‑30s top speeds on higher‑power or repowered examples.

As a true convertible, it splits time well between fishing and family duty. The large cockpit and fishability features suit tournament use, while multiple 2–4 stateroom layouts and a roomy salon/galley make extended weekends or live‑aboard use realistic. The flybridge and main salon provide generous social space, and later boats offered an enclosed‑bridge option; interiors prior to 1997 are often called dated, with a Studio Faggioni refresh arriving in 1997.

Ownership does demand attention and budget. Original builds frequently carried GM/Detroit 8V/12V power, and many have been repowered with Caterpillar or MTU—effective but not inexpensive work. Age‑related items such as raw‑water cooling components, A/C, wiring, and cosmetics (teak/gelcoat) are common survey notes; there are also documented neglected cases, underscoring the need for a thorough mechanical and hull survey. As one forum quip puts it, these are “sweet fishing boats if ya gots the money.”

Pros and Cons

• Offshore seaworthiness and predictable ride from the David Napier deep‑V hull are widely praised.
• Flexible 2–4 stateroom layouts with a roomy salon/galley make it viable for family cruising and live‑aboard use.
• Large cockpit, expansive flybridge, and an available enclosed‑bridge option suit tournament fishing and social time.
• Heavy build trades nimbleness for stability, so handling in tight marinas can feel cumbersome.
• Older examples often need significant systems renewal and a thorough survey due to age‑related issues.
• Repowers and major engine work (common on boats with original GM/Detroit installs) can be costly to undertake and maintain.
