I'm surprised that this boat, offered in the 130's hasn't sold yet either. It has to be one of the nicest realistic (non open check book 3rd party redo for 300K+) redos out there. 26knt cruise, bulletproof Cummins 6BTA 300hp engines, 3.5kW genset, cockpit controls, custom interior, AC/heat, refrig.....the list goes on and on. Anyway, someone will get an incredible boat here which has been my pride and joy since 2001.
As for the bridge to cockpit access, I would frequently run the boat with 8 lines being trolled, hook up a tuna, leave 6 lines out, maneuver the boat during the fight, hop down and gaff the fish, hop back up to the bridge with never tangling a line. To put it nicely, unless you have an ailing hip/knee/ankle or are 80+ years old it takes 3 quick steps to and from the cockpit and bridge. It's like a mini flybridge or a huge step up express...this boat is a breeze to fish from.
Did you ever sell your 31 Bertram. I am moving to Mexico and that would be a great boat down there. You can reach me at here2fish@charterinternet.com thanks, Bill
About 500hrs on the engines since they were put in, genset has 104 hours and that is since the redo.
Boat is on the C&D Canal about 25 minutes from the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
