DESCRIPTION

The "Top Gun" is one of the finest 46' Bertrams on the water today. She received major re-fit work on haul and interior and her engines were majored. She receives a yearly dry dock including cleaning, polishing, waxing the haul and outriggers, applying new bottom paint, grinding and cleaning props, rudders and shafts, replace all zinks and bearings, as well as repair or replace all items that require attention for safe operation. Last haul out/dry dock was performed in Sept. of 2009 in Kona, Hawaii. She is in beautiful condition, tournament equipped, fast and comfortable. Her re-build started below the water line, with the haul stripped, re-glassed and barrier coated. The haul was then fitted with new fiberglass inserts for the front salon windows, and the boat was completely repainted with Awl-grip (including the engine room). New shafts and wheels were installed. A new 12kw Isuzu generator was fitted in the sound shield below the cockpit deck. The teak cockpit and covering boards were removed and re-fitted with new teak. Interior up-grades included new carpeting, headliners, wall covering, counter tops, and new galley appliances. The fly bridge was fitted with new weather curtains and electronics. New Rupp outriggers and new Bertram logos on the house sides add the final touch of class. In October 2006 both engines were completely overhauled using high performance piston/cylinder inserts.
