COMMENTS: GOOD GRIEF is a 1973 Bertram 46 Flybridge Convertible/Sportfisherman, known for their "superior" ride due to their design with 45,000 lb displacement,  and a solid fiberglass hull. For the "in the know" sportfishing crowd, they believe the 46 Bertram is in the Top 10 for all production sportfish built. GOOD GRIEF has been in the same family for 35 years. Here is an excellent opportunity to lease/own a very handsome, well-built vessel at a very attractive price. Her owner has kept her in 1st class condition as described above. The Detroit diesels were completely rebuilt in 1992 by Atlantic Detroit and have low hours since. These 8-71 diesels were well know as being more reliable than the 8V92's which were installed from 1981 on. Although GOOD GRIEF has some Sportfish features, the vessel has primarily been used for cruising locally in MA waters. The interior layout is comfortable for two couples. She has a spacious main salon, two separate staterooms with two heads, and a galley down but open to the salon. She also has a spacious cockpit aft. Here is an excellent opportunity to enjoy an older, but better built Bertram 46 than the production boats of today. This vessel is available on a three year lease with the option to purchase. Please call us for full details. Thank you for your interest.
