Rare 1986 Bertram 25 Sedan - Exceptional Condition | Major Mechanical Upgrades
Luxury Boat Sales QLD is proud to present this beautifully maintained 1986 Bertram 25 Sedan, a classic offshore cruiser renowned for its legendary Bertram hull design, impressive sea-keeping ability, and timeless styling.
Highly regarded among experienced boaters, the Bertram 25 is known for its capability offshore while still offering practical comfort for cruising and entertaining. This particular example presents exceptionally well for its age and has clearly benefited from careful ownership and extensive recent upgrades.
Power is provided by a MerCruiser 5.7L V8 paired with an Alpha One sterndrive, featuring a recently installed long block with under 10 hours of use. The engine has also been fitted with brand new manifolds and risers, while the Alpha One outdrive has recently been reconditioned. A new transom shield has also been installed as part of these recent mechanical upgrades, offering excellent peace of mind for the next owner.
The vessel has been dry stack stored, and the hull remains non-antifouled, helping preserve its condition. The hull below the waterline has also been professionally sandblasted and re-gelcoated, presenting in outstanding shape.
The cockpit has been tastefully upgraded with custom stone bench tops and a wet bar, creating a practical and stylish space for entertaining or preparing bait while out on the water. There is also excellent storage throughout the vessel, making it well suited for fishing, cruising, or extended days on the water.
At the stern, a custom duckboard / swim platform provides easy access to the water for swimming, diving, or fishing.
Navigation and fish finding are handled by a new Raymarine Dragonfly 5 fishfinder/chartplotter, providing reliable depth sounder and GPS navigation capabilities.
Overhead, a custom targa top in excellent condition provides shade and protection while maintaining the boat's classic Bertram profile.
Anchoring is effortless thanks to the brand new Muir flush-mount anchor winch, another quality upgrade to this already impressive vessel.
