1978 Bertram 46.6 Motor Yacht

Description

Especially well maintained Lake Michigan - Freshwater Boat. Recent Updates: new generator fuel pump, new port starter, all new Deka batteries this year, new windlass foot pedals / switches, new speakers and amplifiers throughout, 150 feet of new anchor chain, backsplash, lighting, updated fuel, oil, and water filters, Etc. Detroit Diesel 8V71’s - approximately 3,000 hours ( prior owners of 20 plus years were certified diesel mechanics / mechanical engineers and still maintain the mechanicals for me). Aftermarket engine warmers, onboard oil change system, custom folding aluminum radar arch, color multiscreen touch screen radar, plotter, Etc., engine synchronizer, genius smart chargers, large residential stainless side by side fridge with bottom drawer style freezer, very large dual trumpet horn with compressor, and much more .Photos clearly were not taken by a professional, nor was the boat staged, and it shows better in person. I've recently had the bimini top and helm covers restitched and reinforced. I'm waiting on new cushions for the bow bench seat, but the cover is in decent shape. I've replaced a couple smaller pieces of isinglass over the last couple of years, but have a couple small cracks in others. I considered all new side / back canvass and isinglass as there really isn't much overall on this boat, but most everyone was really backed up this year. The bench seat on the bridge is the only upholstery that is starting to show any real discoloration and or wear (it cleans up well but gets dirty quickly and has a couple small cracks that have been covered). The boat will be coming out soon and I will start repainting the blue striping (I did it last 5 years ago and it's just starting to fade), and removing the white and gold stipes as I replace these decals most every year. The engine and transmission oils were just changed, and the impellers are new this season. I have a survey from 2018.
