1998 Bertram 31 Flybridge - Volvo-Powered, Family-Ready, and Built to Last
Step aboard this 1998 Bertram 31 Flybridge and you immediately understand why the Bertram name has become legendary. She's solid, confident in the water, and set up perfectly for weekends away, offshore runs, or relaxed family cruising. This vessel has been lovingly maintained and used as a family weekender, and it shows in every corner--from the clean engine room to the practical, comfortable layout.
Power & Performance - Volvo Reliability at Its Best
Under the cockpit sits a beautifully kept pair of Volvo Penta D4 200 hp 6-cylinder diesel engines. Known for their reliability, efficiency, and smooth delivery of power, these engines make this Bertram an ideal first flybridge cruiser. With 1,100 litres of diesel onboard, she offers excellent range for coastal exploring, and her 200 litres of fresh water supports comfortable overnighting.
The engine room is clean, tidy, and easy to access--exactly what you want when buying a vessel that's been cared for properly.
The head has been upgraded and now has a very comfortable full size tecma suite
