Description
FLORIDIAN is a nicely maintained and upgraded classic 31 Bertram, offering a unique blend of timeless design and modern amenities. Originally renovated in 2000 with Yanmar diesel engines and stainless-steel running gear, she underwent another major renovation in 2016, which included new teak decks, a freshwater toilet, updated electronics, a swim platform, and numerous other improvements. In 2023 FLORIDIAN underwent a major mechanical overhaul which included new shafts, struts, engine mounts, turbo's and heat exchanger service by Bay Shore Marine diesel in Annapolis. She also received a new head and sanitation system making her USCG compliant. If you are looking for a classic head turner that will absolutely eat up the chop you should have a look at FLORIDIAN.
Key upgrades include:
- 2016: Teak decks, new upholstery, updated entertainment system, swim ladder, electric windlass, and more.
- 2019: Replacement of turbos, heat exchangers, and airstep filters.
- 2020: Refit with new windows, sandblasting, and Awlgrip painting.
- 2022: New AGM batteries, routine engine service, antifoul, and Propspeed.
- 2023; New Mounts
With an extra fuel tank, live bait well, and fresh and saltwater washdowns, FLORIDIAN is well-equipped for fishing. She has cruised extensively through Southeast Asia, the East Coast of the USA, and the Bahamas, with her owners having shipped her globally with each move.
Though not a new vessel, her systems have been continually updated, and all service records are available. This classic Bertram is a rare find for those seeking a well-maintained and upgraded boat.
