Overview
MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION!
DROPPED OVER $50,000
This is a rare opportunity to own a classic express fisherman at a small fraction of replacement cost. Her pedigree and classic lines are obvious, but the fishability and comfort at sea are tough to beat in a 40-foot express. She just came out of the yard with a fresh coat of bottom paint, new zincs, tuned props and is ready to fish. This captain-maintained vessel is kept in Key Largo and was untouched by the hurricane. She won't last long!

Salesman's Remarks
Tough Catch will not disappoint! This vessel is well cared for, captain maintained since 2004 by her current owner and knowledgeable captain. Port Engine and transmission were replaced in 2004/2005 and starboard power is original.
She is turn key with recent hull and deck paint, upgraded electronics, and the tower and riggers are in superb condition and ready to roll.
This vessel has been well maintained by the same captain and owner for the last 15 years and had only one previous owner. She was untouched by Hurricane Irma and is ready for a new owner.
The owner has priced Tough Catch to be sold because he is ready to move up. Call the listing broker direct for more information. Don't miss this fantastic buying opportunity!
