Got excited when I saw this. Sportfish, w/ perkins 250's, transom baitwell, custom tops, etc, etc... buy it now 44k.
I sure some of ya'll know the boat, looks like a McCrary baitwell to me???

Damned nice looking boat on the surface. I'd consider that a great buy. If I was 10 years younger, I'd consider selling mine and taking that with all the modifications it would cost me almost the price of the boat to put in mine.

Those 6 354's are between 165 and 210 HP. Great power plants but she's a little slow compared to the new school cummins or yanmars.

Anyone notice the Bertram 360 in the background?
Looks like there is still a lot of work needed,
but I do like the treatment for the lower helm seating.

Nope, Cabrera design. Probably has a one off liner that's rougher than a cob...

'73 was a problematic year for all fiberglass boatbuilders due the oil embargo & resin costs skyrocketing. All manufactures, including Bertram, were cutting corners & even using cheaper resins. A lot of blistering & delaminations industry wide that year.

Like Russ pointed out, the Perkins are real under-powered for a B31. If the 25 mph cruise, (just under 22 kt), is accurate when fully loaded, they are probably 210s.

With what I see, $44.5k is about all that could hoped for, at least in today's market.

Looks like the engine hour meters were REMOVED, would be a cause for concern for me....

Nice Dupont Overhaul! Needs some airfilters!
