Overview
2000 28' Carolina Classic, Express with half tower, twin Cummins 300hp diesels with low hours. Construction is solid fiberglass, and her wide 10'6" beam results in a very roomy cockpit. In spite of the fact that she's a dedicated fishing boat, the 28 has a surprisingly complete cabin below with a big V-berth, standup head with shower, compact galley, air conditioning, and teak framed joinery. The engines are very accessible, the entire bridge deck can be raised on a pair of hydraulic rams at the push of a button. The cockpit has plenty of room for a mounted chair and includes a pair of in deck fish boxes, rod holders, transom livable, tackle center with sink, and fresh and salt water wash downs. Additional features include side dumping exhausts, wide side decks, high gunwales, and a well arranged helm with room for flush mounted electronics. This is a turn key fishing machine ready to go catching!
Accommodations
The 28 is a machine totally designed and precisely built for one purpose: Offshore trophy fishing with long-range fuel capacity. Plenty of living room to include a cabin with six feet of head room, V-berth with filler, Galley with microwave, sink, refrigerator and table, a full walk-in electric head with shower, and storage areas throughout the boat. Best of all is how easy she is to maintain. The dry, oversized engine compartment provides roomy access to the hydraulics, pumps and batteries. The bilge runs in a tunnel underneath the gel-coated engine room, so all vital mechanics stay dry and clean. The air intakes are high above the sheer to keep corrosive salt spray out. Even the cabin walls are finished gel so they can be easily cleaned and kept free of mildew. The cabin is air conditioned and trimmed in teak joinery. The 28 is complete fishing machine to include fresh/salt water wash downs, transom live well, two large in cockpit deck fish boxes, large built in ice box and plenty of storage compartments for all your gear and safety equipment. There is a built in tackle station with deep drawers and twin aluminum single spreader outriggers and a center rigger. There is a lower helm command station complete with electronics and an upper helm station including electronics and a fold down half tower.
