1988 Bertram 54 Convertible

1988 Bertram 54 Convertible "Ms Jefe"

Ms. Jefe, is one of the finest examples of a well-maintained and highly updated 54’ Bertram’s currently on the market. Powered by CAT 3412 1300 HP engines, she cruises at a respectable and efficient 28 knots with a top speed around 34 knots. Well known for its seakeeping ability, the 54’ Bertram is a classic sportfishing battlewagon! Her hull and topsides completely repainted in 2021, Ms. Jefe shines like she just came off the showroom floor. With many modern upgrades, including a Furuno CH-600 Drop Down Searchlight Sonar, it’s obvious this is not your typical 54’ Bertram. If you are a serious fisherman looking for a rock-solid, tournament-ready mid-sized sportfish with modernized systems and amenities that won’t break the bank, then look no further than Ms. Jefe! This boat would be a great platform for someone stepping out of a center console, looking to take their sportfishing game to the next level!
