Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?
And this boat was most definitely built to go out and catch the big ones. The 540 replaces the 54’s glass windshield with a rugged fiberglass brow that will give any intrepid fisherman added piece of mind when pushing into a big head sea. And a more traditional interior layout, featuring a forward galley (the older version’s was aft) helps make room for fishing amenities, such as in-sole cockpit fishboxes, a livewell, either starboard-side freezers or tackle drawers, and more rod stowage. With all these accoutrements working in her favor, not only has Bertram taught an old dog plenty of new tricks, they’ve got it ready to hunt too.
