The features boat is a one-
owner 2010 model Caribbean
40 Flybridge Cruiser and is
fully optioned. It features
exceptionally low 280 hours
on twin 8.3lt Cummins
QSC500 Electronic Diesel
engines. She has terrific
performance with a wide
open throttle of 31kts and
can cruise on a speedy
26kts. Of the performance
Jeff said, “A few minutes’toing and froing is all it
takes to get a feel for its
behavioural characteristics,
and a few minutes more
and you are pirouetting
like a prima ballerina – no
need for a bow thruster
here. And if they are good in
tight spots, they excel in the
rough, where the original
Bertram sea-handling
pedigree speaks for itself.
Ace game boat drivers
understand that precision
rather than power is the
secret to consistent results...
these quality common
rail diesels deliver a nice
balance of performance and
pertinence.”MAIN This Caribbean 40 Flybridge Cruiser is a modern classic.
