Description
1985 Bertram 54
“TRUE COUP”
A proven American sportfisherman, TRUE COUP is built on the Bertram 54's famous deep-V fiberglass hull, a design long respected for handling rough water and a favorite among serious anglers.
She has had three owners in total, including one who cared for and improved her for more than 26 years. Private showings are available on request.

Both Detroit Diesel engines were rebuilt in February with full in-frame rebuilds and have only 50 hours since. She also has new turbos and new hoses and clamps throughout.
