Overview

Experience luxury and performance aboard LB CAKE, a beautifully maintained 1987 Buddy Davis 61 Convertible that fuses bluewater muscle with refined living. Her thoughtful three-stateroom, three-head arrangement is designed for extended sportfishing campaigns and indulgent cruising alike, while freshly rebuilt twin Detroit Diesel 12V92TA engines and updated onboard systems inspire confidence far beyond the inlet.

Belowdecks, the forward master suite centers on a walkaround queen berth and enjoys a private head with a separate stall shower, generous storage including space beneath the berth, and rich teak cabinetry and trim. To port, the VIP stateroom offers a restful, athwartship queen and its own private head with a separate shower, creating a quiet, home-like retreat with ample stowage. Starboard, the guest stateroom provides upper and lower twin berths and convenient access to a third full head, with a practical utility room aft already plumbed for a washer/dryer to simplify life on board.

The salon and galley flow as a single, welcoming social space, crowned by high-gloss teak paneling and handcrafted cabinetry. To port, the U-shaped galley is appointed with white Corian countertops, SubZero refrigeration, and an additional pair of Vitrifrigo double-drawer refrigerator/freezers, complemented by a four-burner cooktop and a Whirlpool microwave/convection oven. Opposite to starboard, a face-to-face dinette with a teak table invites lingering meals. The salon’s large L-shaped sofa conceals abundant storage, while two barrel chairs, a teak hi/lo table, and a wet bar elevate relaxed gatherings and effortless hosting.

At the helm, a pop-up electronics control presents a comprehensive, top-tier suite: dual Garmin GPSMAP plotters with radar, a Furuno fish finder, a Simrad autopilot, Icom VHF radios, and a Danforth compass deliver precise navigation and situational awareness, assisted by a reverse video monitor. Entertainment comes courtesy of a JVC flat-screen TV, a Sony CD changer, and a TracVision satellite system, while four closed-circuit cameras—two in the engine room, one in the cockpit, and one in the salon—add watchful visibility and peace of mind.

Mechanical excellence underscores every mile. The twin Detroit Diesel 12V92TA powerplants have been freshly overhauled and show approximately 100 hours since rebuild, with current reported engine hours of 283 and 285. Offshore power is assured by Phasor Marine generators rated at 21 kW and 12.5 kW, and climate control is delivered by four Cruisair A/C units totaling 60,000 BTU. Endurance is equally impressive, with 1550 gallons of diesel fuel on tap, 250 gallons of fresh water, a 20-gallon electric water heater, and a water pump installed 2 years ago.

On deck, LB CAKE is purpose-built for serious sportfishing and unhurried leisure. The teak cockpit, toe rails, and bow pulpit project timeless Buddy Davis elegance, while a tower with a buggy top, a true tuna tower, and electric teaser reels extend your reach to the bite. A spacious cockpit freezer, abundant rod holders, and a teak Pompanette fighting chair anchor a cockpit ready for tournament days and family excursions alike.

LB CAKE stands apart by pairing the legendary Buddy Davis ride and silhouette with the updates today’s owners expect. A massive salon, well-appointed staterooms, and an oversized fishing cockpit make her equally at home chasing billfish or cruising in style.
