1997 Bertram 54 Convertible

San Diego, California

$450,000

"Tres Juanes" is an excellent example of the popular 54' Bertram Convertible Sportfish and truly a one-of-kind with her legendary Deep V hull, 54' Bertram’s are arguably known as one of the best riding boats in heavy seas that were ever produced. However, at rest, they have the tendency to rock. This has been rectified with the addition a SeaKeeper 9 Gyro Stabilizer installed in 2015. Now you have the best of both worlds, a great riding boat that is an extremely stable fishing platform.

Her interior was redone/updated in 2017 and is absolutely stunning. There is custom woodwork in many areas, some was replaced. The galley received  (4) new stainless steel pullout drawer style KitchenAid refrigerators, with two of them being a refrigerator/freezer combo, flat surface cook-top, microwave oven, sink and fixtures. Teak and holly flooring in the galley and dinette areas.

She is powered by dependable Caterpillar 3412’s with 1350hp each.

She is loaded with equipment and has had many more updates/upgrades as outlined in the attached specs.  Water-maker,  transom live-well, fiberglass hardtop, plus much, much more!

Her original gel-coat shines and has recently painted stripes in 2024.

Captain maintained and truly a must see!

2014 - Installed on the bridge a Furuno 14" touch Multifunction Display, GPS sensor nd Navionics 911 Chart pack. Cost $7,800

2015 - A Seakeeper 9 Gyro stabilizer was installed under the cockpit sole. Cost close to $100.000.
