1987 37 Bertram Convertible "Ridgeback". In the 80's Bertram Yachts led the sportfishing industry with many innovative designs paving the way for the modern sportfish convertible. The excellent seakeeping ability of a Bertram is well-known around the globe by all serious sport fishermen.

Originally owned by Don Phillips, a Pensacola Big Game fishing club member and known as the "Heather D" this 37 Convertible brought many game winners to the scales over the years. The tradition continued when she became "RIDGEBACK" catching game winners in some of the Gulf Coast's most prestigious tournaments such as the Emerald Coast Billfish Classic. "RIDGEBACK" was repowered during her "Heather D" days with Yanmar In-line 6-Cylinder 6LY2A-STP 440 hp main engines and upgraded with a MAS Power 8kW generator. Equipped to fish the most remote locations in the Gulf of Mexico "RIDGEBACK" is sure to help you find a game winner on your next fishing adventure.
