Sure looks like $79k worth of boat, but its not for me, and it certainly isn't a Bertram31.
Might be a 31 foot boat that was manufactured in part by Bertram, but Bertram31's have a world famous look that the boat pictured didn't get.
There is some intrinsic value in the name Bertram as they have always been known as a quality manufacturer, but a good bit of the brands allure was because they designed good looking boats. The 31 Bertram is first and foremost sought after because of its appearance, and that timeless style has been around so long that it is almost iconic of what a sport fisher should look like.
The boat pictured is not a bad looking boat, but it doesn't pass for a 31 Bertram, and thus will never be sought after by the many who have fell in love with this vessel.
If your not a huge Bertram 31 fan, but just like that boat, I'd probably buy it. I can't see getting hurt. It may take a while to sell when the time comes, but all boats do, and just the name Bertram in your corner will go a long way. Also, because it is somewhat rare, I can't see it going down in value, in fact you never know, it could go up in value if it has a history that gets uncovered officially and is appreciated.
Good Luck!
