30ft Bertram Moppie “KARINA” -This is what our regular 31 FT Bertram clients have been waiting for – everything you enjoy about our standard Bertram’s with the addition of a comfortable cabin. A step up from the 30 ft Bertram’s due to being newer but still affordable. This vessel has a 12 foot beam and is well set out for fishing. Twin Cummins 315 HP diesel engines have this beauty cruising at 24 knots and a top speed of 30 knots. Only 20 Bertram Moppies were made and they are much sought after due to their incredible design and seaworthiness, especially in rough seas.
This is what marine surveyor David Pascoe says about this boat: “I’ve finally found my dream boat and this is it. I’m almost embarrassed to use such words due to all the ridiculous hype we read in the magazines, but I can assure you that it is hard to overstate the positive aspects of the 30 Moppie. Superb, absolutely superb. It’s a shame that there are so many pathetically designed and poorly handling boats out there that the average boater has come to accept poor performance as a standard. Most just don’t know what a great handling boat is because they never get the opportunity to pilot one. The first thing I did was to slow down from a 24 knot romp on beam seas, cut her back to 12 knots and then put her bow smack into those mildly towering waves coming at us. I fully expected to see blue water coming over the bow but it never happened. Each time the bow neatly rose up and over the wave without plunging deep into the trough of the next one. How many thirty footers have you ever been aboard where you don’t feel cramped and are constantly bumping into things? The traffic pattern is a straight, unencumbered pathway right up the middle. The companionway into the cabin is huge and you can walk right down the steps without even ducking (I’m 6-0). Beautiful, just beautiful.
