There are very few boats in the Australian market that carry the pedigree, presence, and proven offshore capability of a Bertram 35 and fewer still refit to this level.
"Shotgun" is not your typical Berty. Professionally stripped back to a bare hull and completely rebuilt in 2012, this no-expense-spared transformation blends the legendary Bertram ride with modern systems, reliability, and serious fishability. Featured in Blue Water Magazine following her refit, she stands as a benchmark for what these hulls can become when done properly.
At her core is the hull that made the 35 famous, soft in a head sea, predictable downwind, and built for real offshore work. Backing that up is a modern mechanical package, with twin Volvo Penta D6 common rail diesels (2008) showing approximately 1200 hours, delivering reliable and efficient performance.
The vessel was completely rewired during the refit, with upgraded tankage and a clean, well-executed mechanical layout. A Northern Lights generator, inverter system, and bow thruster round out a setup designed for both offshore confidence and ease around the marina.
From a fishing perspective, this is a serious platform. Twin Simrad NSS evo3 16" displays paired with a Simrad S5100 module, along with Airmar 3kW CHIRP and 1kW transducers, provide exceptional clarity on bait and structure, putting this boat firmly in the "ready to fish" category.
The cockpit is set up for extended time on the water, featuring a custom integrated fridge/freezer system, underwater lights, and upgraded lighting throughout.
Inside, the boat has been completely reimagined. Custom rosewood finishes, leather seating, and a redesigned layout deliver a level of comfort rarely seen in a vessel of this class. Air conditioning, a well-appointed galley with Corian benchtops, twin bunks, and a forward V-berth make her equally capable for overnighting.
Importantly, this is a fully sorted, turnkey package. The current owner has maintained the vessel meticulously, with recent major servicing, exhaust updates, generator service, antifoul, and PropSpeed completed.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a properly refit Bertram 35, combining timeless offshore performance with modern usability.
