"Mixmaster" is a Custom Built Knight Brothers Enclosed Flybridge Sportfish with a solid hand laid-up fiberglass hull and fiberglass over cypress superstructure.Bulkheads and framing timbers are cypress. The high quality interior joinery is solid teak.. Teak and holly sole. Fiberglass fuel tanks located aft of the engines instead of outboard allows easy access to outboard sides of both engines. Boat was built for serious fishing with transom steeply raked to back down on large fish and to provide clearance at the transom. Running gear is further forward to prevent fouling lines when fish are being close handled. Vessel has keel extension deeper than propellors to avoid damage to running gear in the event of grounding. Two watertight bulkheads, all three compartments are watertight; (lazarrtette, engine space, and bow compartment).  Hard chined, wide beam, and deep keel makes for excellent seakeeping qualities as well as live-baiting.

"Mixmaster" was orinally built for a Boca Grande couple and named "Mi Lady Fe", the present owner purchased and renamed the vessel in 1998. With only two owners since new it is clear this vessel has been well regarded by each. The present owner has a well known diesel and marine services business in Ft. Lauderdale and "Mixmaster" has been very well cared for and upgraded throughout his ownership.

The Knight Brothers have a long family tradition of building seakindly sportfish which will stand the test of time.

Knight Brothers boats:

Boat building has been a Knight family tradition for more than 100 years. Capt. Johns Knight Jr. said he has read in local history books that his forefathers’ boats were being used in Charlotte Harbor as far back as the 1880s.

In 1946, Knight’s father, Johns Sr., along with brothers Harold and Francis, continued the family tradition by building custom tarpon boats for the local anglers.

Moonraker and Moonraker II, two of the island’s more famous traditional Pass fishing boats, are still owned by the Knight family. Casuarina and Faithful II, another two recognizable Knght Brothers built boats also still work the Pass and are operated by Capt. Dickie Coleman, Capt. Charlie Coleman and Capt. Matt Coleman. Reprinted by permission, Capt. Sandy Melvin Gasparilla Outfitters, Boca Grande

From the large cockpit, one enters the Salon through a door offset to the portside. The main AC/DC distribution panel is just inside the Salon to port, with a chart table/desk just forward. Forward to port is the Dinette with bench seats. Opposite, on the starboard forward end of the Salon, is the Galley. Aft to starboard is the L-shaped sofa, covered with Ultra-Leather.

Going forward from the Salon is the central hallway, with the Master Stateroom with King bed to starboard, and a Guest Cabin with over-and-under bunks to port. There are two heads with stall showers forward of these Staterooms, with the Master bath to starboard and Guest bath to port. The second Guest Cabin is in the bow, with Double bed, and this Cabin shares the Guest Head aft to port.

The large cockpit features a secondary control station forward to port. Forward to starboard is the bait freezer and tackle center.

Going up the ladder from the cockpit, one enters the enclosed Flybridge through a sliding door. There are two Pompanette helm chairs and bench seats both to starboard and forward of the helm. The enclosed Flybridge is air-conditioned, but also features opening windows across the front and on both port and starboard sides, as well as the sliding door aft, to provide complete natural ventilation on temperate days.
