Looking for a post 1986 - newer the better, twin diesel, Bertram 33 sport fisherman, will consider a FBC, must be immaculate, both mechanically and cosmetically. thanks for reading. Capt. Mike

I'm selling my 1978 Bertram 33'FBC which has 1992 Cummins 6BT5.9 210 hp with 1160 hrs. The boat/motors are in excellent condition, I have a new job with no time left for fishing. Asking 79K.

Mike:where are you located there are a couple of nice ones in Texas for sale.... only way to go on a 33 is diesel if you going to fish far offshore......

Virginia Beach, VA...yes you are correct on diesels, I went from 220-235 gals of gas to 120 gals diesel on the same offshore trip.

Boy I am glad I got to mine before you decided to get one. Got it in deltaville virgina 3 years ago for 80,000. You will not get 120 gals with the 33. Up here in jersey its 220 round trip. Figure .9 gallons per mile with my 320 hp 3208's. Good luck again. Mike just plain addicted

Mike, do I see cockpit controls under your flybridge ladder or am I wrong?

MikeH · Post by **MikeH** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 11:03 am

WOT @21 knots cruise 19...yes they are controls under the ladder, but I did not hook them up when I changed to diesel. The cable configration was differant and I never used them anyway.
