BERTRAM 39

When this iconic brand announced its decision to build a line of center-consoles, starting with a 39-footer, many in the industry took note of the bold decision. The latest from Bertram Yachts in Tampa, Florida, will feature four-across helm seating plus a 500-gallon fuel capacity, twin 40-gallon livewells (with a 60-gallon upgrade option) and an optional

Seakeeper 3, in addition to a number of other fishing-friendly features. Although not designed to be the fastest boat in her class, with the triple 300 hp engine configuration, top speed is expected to approach the low 50 mph range—upgrading to 450 hp engines would boost that speed to 60-plus mph, while still providing that legendary Bertram ride.
