1984 Bertram 42 Flybridge Motor Yacht - BERM0201M83G

1984 Bertram 42 Flybridge Motor Yacht

Gadabout is a beautiful example of the classic, well built, Bertram 42 Motor Yacht.  Lovingly maintained by each of the previous owners with extensive records that show all maintenance and upgrades.  Spending summers on the Great Lakes and heated storage during the winter months have contributed to this 1984 beauty looking at least half her age.

The proven deep-v hull design enables the Bertram 42 to handle sea conditions that keep other motor yachts her size in port.  At planing speeds the Bertram shoulders aside building seas.  They are a remarkable combination of build quality and design that was made for serious cruising.

In 2006 Gadabout was repowered with twin Mercruiser 8.1s along with the removal of the fiberglass fuel tanks and installation of aluminum tanks.  With a leather sleeper sectional, warm and cozy teak, spacious cabins and heads this interior will make you forget you are on a boat.  Thinking about extended cruising, liveaboard or a weekender that you want to sleep up to 8 on a boat?  This Bertram will keep you happy and comfortable.

Current owners started the Great Loop on Gadabout.  They enjoyed two summers in Canada and the Great Lakes and were headed south on the Illinois river.  Sudden illness is forcing sale but Gadabout is ready to go and get back out there for her next big adventure.
