A rare offering of a low-hour, twin-diesel, freshwater classic with numerous upgrades. This three-owner vessel is in immaculate condition and has been extremely well maintained.

Bertram has a well-deserved reputation for building rugged, high-quality boats. Flush-deck motor yachts like the Bertram 42 are seldom seen these days, but back in the day this was the way most motor yachts were designed. With her traditional lines and solid fiberglass construction, the Bertram 42 is one of the few motor yachts her size built on a deep-V hull.

By today’s standards, the interior floor plan of the 42 is very unusual. The large mid-level galley is forward and includes a new full-size stainless steel refrigerator with a three-burner stove and oven. A hallway to starboard opens to the forward V-berth cabin with private head and shower. The salon features an all-teak interior, which has recently been refinished, and has been upgraded with two new La-Z-Boy recliners, a loveseat with pullout mattress, and a large Samsung flat-screen TV. Aft of the salon is the full-beam master stateroom with two full-size memory foam beds, private head and shower, vanity, and large hanging lockers.

With her proven deep-V hull, the Bertram 42 can handle sea conditions that keep other motor yachts her size in port. This vessel is powered with the original twin Detroit Diesel 6-71TI engines with approximately 904 and 847 original hours, and she cruises at 21 knots. Original Onan diesel generator with 810 hours. She has spent her entire life in freshwater or in heated storage.
