                       Seller Wants Her SOLD So Deal To Be Made

 

                                                   JUST REDUCED

A proven leader among the serious Sport Fish models this highly maintained 540 Convertible is managed by her full time captain. With her near perfect of design, engineering and of course construction she is a dream in heavy blue water environments. Powered by a pair "de-tuned" Detroit Diesel BKX 1271 TI's producing 650 BHP in lieu of the capable 900 with 890 Port and 1188 Starboard according to gauges which dramatically increases Engine longevity and fuel economy. She runs great and will cruise at 25 knots and top out around 28.

A long list of updates and her tastefully redecorated interior is what really makes her stand out to the 54 Bertram buyer. She is dialed in and ready to go.
