And I've sure as heck never, EVER seen a cocktail onboard. This 28 has seen fish ranging from stripers to tunas come over the gunwales. We've chummed on it, we've trolled on it, and we've jigged on it. We've been fishing on the Wildcat for well over a decade, and we've bloodied its decks many, many times. Plus, the upper rails create a good place to lean on, while you hold your rod and wait for a bite. When I say I've spent a lot of time in the 28’s cockpit, I mean it-my father owns one (which, boo-hoo, is currently listed for sale if you want a Bertram 28 that’s relatively low cost but in great shape, check this one out). The step between decks adds a spot to sit. In fact, about the only difference I can find (other than the case color) is that the Super L has a battery. And that upper deck is comfortable to fish from. Maker: Bertram Model: Bewi Super Circa: 1963 Price (new): 49.50 Cell type: CdS Measure type: Reflecting / Averaging and 3D Incident Battery: PX625 (modern) This is the precursor to the Bewi Super L, and they're pretty much the same unit. Though this adds a step in the cockpit, it shrinks the step down into the cabin and eliminates the raised engine-boxes. While the 31 has engine-boxes on either side and a step down into the entry, the 28 has upper and lower cockpit decks.

But where it really counts-in the cockpit-the Bertram 28 is, IMHO, even better than the 31. Belowdecks, from the port-side galley, starboard-side dinette, and forward V-berth, you might mistake one boat for the other. Sure, it shares the original deep-V hull design, is similarly tank-like, and yes, this one’s a gas-hog, too. Logan, this is what a REAL Bertram looks like! Despite their relatively similar lengths, the 28 is a very different boat from the 31. The Bertram 28 flybridge sportfisher was built for fishing, not cocktail cruising.
