Overview

Rigged and ready to fish offshore, this Buddy Davis is powered by twin common-rail MAN 1360 hp engines for a fast, nimble, and confidence-inspiring ride. The two-stateroom, two-head layout is anchored by a spacious helm deck with AC/heat, while an extensive equipment list underscores the boat’s purpose-built versatility and comfort.

In the main salon, a large portside settee with storage beneath invites you to unwind opposite the starboard galley. Entertainment is effortless with a 32" Panasonic flatscreen TV mounted on the forward port bulkhead and a Bose sound system, while the headliner with recessed lighting sets an elegant tone. The carpet is being replaced soon, and climate control via AC/heat ensures year-round comfort.

The galley to starboard is fully equipped for extended cruising, featuring a stainless-steel sink, a 2-burner stovetop, a microwave/convection oven, under-counter lights, a Subzero refrigerator/freezer, and abundant drawers and cabinets, all set on a handsome teak & holly sole.

Positioned below the helm deck, the master stateroom offers a double berth with storage below, AC/heat, two cabinets and two drawers, a cedar-lined hanging locker, a Pioneer stereo CD, a Sharp flatscreen TV, and a headliner with recessed lights. The master’s private head is finished with a Raritan toilet, a Corian counter, a mirror with vanity, lights, outlet, blower, a sink, a stall shower, a teak & holly sole, and a cedar cabinet.

Forward, the guest stateroom presents a centerline double berth with storage below, two drawers, an overhead hatch, reading lamps, a Sharp flatscreen TV, a CO2 detector, and a large cedar-lined hanging locker. Anglers will appreciate the rod locker on the outboard port side, while to starboard there are three cabinets and two drawers beneath a Corian countertop. AC/heat completes the guest suite’s amenities. The guest’s private head features a Raritan electric toilet with tank watch, a Corian counter with sink, a mirror with vanity, lights and outlets, a stall shower, and a teak & holly floor.

The cockpit and deck are tournament-ready with a transom livewell, both saltwater washdown pump and freshwater washdown, port and starboard tackle lockers, and direct engine room access. A Release Marine fighting chair (teak with rocket launcher & bait tray) anchors the action, complemented by a cockpit freezer, a cockpit refrigerated drink box, and 2 in-deck fish boxes with a chill plate in the fishwell. There are 6 rod holders in the gunnels, teak covering boards, coaming bolsters, cockpit speakers, courtesy lights, and a transom door. Forward, the teak toe rail and bow pulpit showcase classic custom flair, while 3 rod holders on each tower leg expand your spread.

At the helm, electronics are highlighted by an Icom IC-M604 VHF, dual Garmins replaced in 2022, Glen Denning controls, a Simrad AP28 autopilot, an ACR remote spotlight, an Icom IC-M602 VHF, a Clarion stereo remote, a Vetus bow thruster, and MAN digital displays (one has a spot in the middle). The helm deck itself features a teak deck under a 4 Side Ez2cy enclosure, with port and starboard L-shaped settees and teak tables, an Isotherm icemaker, a rod locker in the hardtop, Reel Colors teaser reels over the helm chair, a freshwater sink, and a teak helm pod with single-level controls.

Up top, the tower is fully outfitted with a Furuno Navnet Vx2, an Icom VHF, steering and controls, and a tower bench seat.
