What is this ???

Probably a Baja Cruisers knock-off with Bertram emblems added.....

Gerry,

I'm almost positive its Bertram 38 Special, don't know why someone would slap B31 lettering on the pilaster...

didn't Bertram make a 30 in that style

If the corrugations on that siding are 8", there's no way that boat is 38'.

if they're 12", then yeah....

Mid-90's Bertram 30' express is my guess. Pretty nice little ride. Or a 36'

Twins, side exhaust, bow thruster, probably nice inside. More of a cruiser than a fisher, but it looks nice.

Wierd bottom configuration in the rear. looks like it sits deeper than most 31's.

Looks at lot like a 38 special with a custom radar arch. Large exhaust, diesel, and shape of the windshield cowling and window is an exact match. If it is a Bertram, my bet is a 38. Not sure why they would put a 31 emblem.

Maybe 36 Moppie?

Couple of things don't fit . . .
Look at the folded down antenna on the arch: if that is a standard 8 foot antenna, the boat is no more then 30 feet loa
The aft third of the bottom looks like it has a little keel, and then flattens out to a modified v at the transom--definitely does not carry the deadrise all the way aft like a Bertram
It's hard to see, but from the scum line at the waterline it looks like the boat sits low in the stern at rest. All the Bertram's I have seen sit bow down at rest.
Still, one never knows . . .

Looks like one of these... mid '90s Bertram 30 Express.

Not a 38, have one and that is not the 38 bow, a 38 looks like, and rolls like, a blown up 28. Nice boat but much more tender than a 31.

I agree with al
30 ft mop pie there is one in our neck of the woods

i had to drive one all the way from a Brooklyn yard the person trading the boat in would not/could not navigate from his yard to Oakdale boat slip for trade in.the boat ran at 30 knot cruise with 315 cummins i back off to 27 knt for a better ride in ocean..we sold it for 90,000 about five years ago.very spacious cabin and well laid out with light birch interior? any ways this boat is called a 30' Moppie.

A broker trying to sell it as a 31.

I'm sure it was a mistake as brokers are completly honest in nature don't you know.

Bertramp · Post by **Bertramp** » Feb 6th, '15, 07:37

That's probably a nice boat, but 38 Specials were/are a very NICE ride !!
I know which I would choose !!

Pete Fallon · Post by **Pete Fallon** » Feb 6th, '15, 07:49

Guy's,
Looks like a 31 Formula no way its a 31 Bertram or even a 38 special, look at the stub keel and side exhausts, maybe a 30' Bertram built in the early 90's, Looks like a Napier design. Brokers and honesty, now there is a contradiction if I ever heard one.

I looked on yachtworld ... Bertram 30 built 1993 - 1998ish.
38 Specials were an 80s vintage and are REALLY nice....that does look like a Formula or a Cruisers Inc.

38 Special - built only for 2 or 3 years ..circa 86-87
Same hull as the Flybridge 38s built in the 80s, a different hull than the "wode-body" 38s built in 70s.
