Description


 

The current owners of COST OF LIVING have put a lot of time and effort into transforming a classic older 38 Bertram into a clean, simple and efficient fishing machine. They have painted her, updated the cockpit layout for more practicality to suit the needs of their fishing program, added a SeaKeeper, electronics, new curtains as well as replaced windows and beefed up areas in and around the cabin to provide durability and simplicity for use and maintenance moving forward. If you look at the Overview, you will realize the tremendous scope of the work they have done.


 She is powered by a set of dependable 465hp Cummins engines as well as a 8KW Onan genset. She has a full head and shower, crew bunk room and a V berth forward. She is set up for easy fishing and would make a good rig for anyone looking for affordability, easy maintenance and simplicity in a mid sized convertible. Give us a call!
