By today’s standards, the interior floorplan of the 42 is very unusual; the large mid-level galley is forward and includes a new full-size stainless steel refrigerator with three-burner stove and oven. A hallway to starboard opens to the forward v-berth cabin with private head and shower. The salon features an all-teak interior which has recently been refinished and has been upgraded with two new Lazy Boy recliners, a loveseat with pullout mattress and a large Samsung flat-screen TV. Aft of the salon is the full beam master stateroom with two full-size memory foam beds, private head and shower, vanity, and large hanging lockers. With her proven deep-V hull, the Bertram 42 can handle sea conditions that keep other motor yachts her size in port.

Original Onan diesel generator with 810 hours on it. She has spent her entire life in fresh water or in heated storage. It is offered as a convenience by this broker/dealer to its clients and is
