Done deal. Looks like your boat has everything. A tiny bit of maintenance on all that? Trying to stay below $100k.
Nah, not really planing for 4 divers on a regular basis. Would have planned for a bigger boat then. Perhaps 2 divers and 2 wife's. Or 1/1. 2 or 3...
It was overhauled, for some reason, after 900-1000 hrs. Instead of that Key Largo boat, now driving across the state tomorrow to inspect a 2004...

Yup, a commercial boat be fine. Yup, a Bertram is still an old boat, but with good bones. Even if I don't need to cruise at more than 10 knots,...
Aye, can't do gas engines. Will pay twice as much for twin-diesel with low hours. Is Cummings a good choice? Some of The old Bertrams have Yanmars...
