1984 Bertram 30

DESCRIPTION

The 1960 Miami-Nassau powerboat race started it all. Richard Bertram designed and commissioned a 30ft wooden deep-vee hull off of a 23ft boat that he saw slicing through 6ft waves. He ended up taking this initial 30ft wooden boat, called Moppie, and won the 1960 race running through 8 foot seas and steady 30 knots of wind.

Dream Boat is the flybridge cruiser version made in 1985.

Dream Boat is 16,000lbs, will cruise at 25-26 mph at 3,200 RPM (~20 GPH) and is the ultimate fishing or cruising boat. Not many Bertram’s are found in the PNW, so this could be a great opportunity to buy a classic.

Dream Boat was purchased by the current owner in 2017 and spent 6 years refitting her. The current owner has $50K in receipts and another $110K in receipts from the previous owner as well.
