Because the new Bertram 700 is a collaboration between Bertram’s big game fishing
captains and crusty engineers on this side of the pond, and Ferretti’s test-tank
speed merchants and Italian free-thinking designers and stylists in the Med, the
result was bound to be something special. Big game (and big buck) sportfishermen
around the world have been eagerly awaiting her introduction for over a year. We
got aboard the 700 for testing and inspection as she made her triumphal tour down
the American East Coast visiting the fall boat shows. Capt. Rob Smith has been periodically
visiting this boat at the plant from the time of her hull-layup and now has a complete
video report with performance numbers. She will be the queen at Bertram’s booth
at the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show, October 30 - November 3, and no doubt there will
be a long line to see her.
