built from 1970 through 1976. Faster, lighter and roomier
than her predecessor, the 38 III’s large cockpit and tournamentstyle
flybridge made her well suited for serious sportfishing
events. Her two-stateroom floorplan was originally set up with
an optional head in the forward stateroom, a novel arrangement
that lasted until 1986 when an updated layout replaced the head
with a storage locker. A lower helm was optional, and a spacious
in-line galley runs the entire starboard side of the salon. Note
that in 1982 Bertram replaced the original Nautilex cockpit sole
with a fiberglass deck (a major improvement), and teak interior
woodwork became standard. A wet ride, the 38 III is a capable
sea boat. Those powered with MerCruiser gas engines cruise
at 17–18 knots. Cat 300hp diesels (19–20 knots cruise) were
popular as were the Cat 355hp and Cummins 380hp VT903 engines,
both of which cruise around 23 knots. Production ceased
in 1987 with the introduction of the new Bertram 37 Convertible.
A total of 331 Bertram 38 IIIs were sold making her one of the
best selling 38-foot sportfishing boats ever built.
