Very little about the new 61 screams ‘same old Bertram,’ despite the characteristic fore-and-aft navy stripe that is a brand tradition. There is a luster, an inescapable new look that is evident in the styling and construction. This is a boat designed with durability in mind. Beefy and solid, this hull was built to withstand whatever the ocean can throw at it — a cornerstone of the Bertram reputation.
