Overview
PRICE REDUCTION!
Owner is motivated to sell! All trades considered!
Tribute Performance Boats like Jim Smith, Monterey and Garlington are recognized in the
industry as one of the first innovative builders pioneering the high performance sport fish
yachts. Duck Soup was originally built as the Escape for Hank Manley, a legendary tournament
fisherman and saltwater fishing enthusiast. The Hull number one was engineer designed by Richie Sheffer to travel and fish the world. Duck Soup is a testament to the quality, design and
construction.
Tribute’s innovative designs utilize state of the art materials that are still copied by the so
called modern builders of today. Duck Soup has only had four owners and every owner has built
a new Tribute when it was time to move up. Those owners will quickly tell you that the 58’ is
still by far their favorite boat.
