2005 Cabo 40 Express yacht on a cloudy day, cruising on calm waters.

Description

"Relentless" has been maintained using a proactive maintenance philosophy rather than a reactive repair approach. Each offseason the vessel underwent a structured inspection, preventative maintenance program, and capital improvement plan. Major systems were serviced or upgraded before failure, resulting in one of the most comprehensively maintained Cabo 40 Express boats available.

Unlike many vessels of this vintage, nearly every major mechanical, running gear, cooling, steering, and cosmetic system has been addressed over the past several years. Complete electronic maintenance records, invoices, oil analysis reports, project logs, and maintenance planning documents are available for buyer review.
