Seems like a lot of boat for the money. Probably would be a great first fishing boat for someone just based on what was done. And you get the Bertram name to boot.

I kicked the tires for a while, but am a serious buyer currently and this owner is pretty unresponsive. Unsure what he is doing with the boat.Quote:

Would like to know the cruising speed of this 54' Bertram with 12-71s versus a 55' Hatteras with 12-71s.
Eddie - So sorry about being unresponsive.
My Bertram 54' Big Buddy is on the C Dock at Bahia Mar ... New master AC going in next week, new zincs, bottom cleaned, freshly tuned 3 blade props are on and a spare set of freshly tuned 4 blades are in the cockpit.
We now have all of our stuff off the boat and we had the inside cleaned.
I have been busy with the new boat and a long list of freshen-up items.
I plan to send the Bertram 54' back to Daytona where I have a slip at Daytona Marina / Charthouse Restaurant on 10-18-2020.
We are now Hatteras owners. Our 2006 Hatteras 80' will be called "Mr. Hat"
