We Accept Trades & Financing Available

This 60’ Precision Sportfish has proven her capabilities year after year, fishing numerous locations and delivering comfort, range, speed, and fishability in a great package. She is a Donald Blount-designed vessel, and a boat built before her time; she hangs right there with the high-end sportfishing boats of today. Her cold-molded hull and design deliver an incredible ride in any sea, and deliver an effortless low-end cruise of 30 knots and a high-end cruise speed of 35 knots, topping out at speeds just over 40 knots.

Her CAT 3412C engines deliver 1350hp per side and have 4000 hours on them since their full rebuilds in August of 2022. The most recent 1000 hour services were completed 10/2026. With 1365 gallons, she has an impressive range thanks to her economical fuel burn for a boat of this size, speed, and caliber. The 2 Kohler generators each can power all systems on the vessel. The starboard generator has 2300 hours, and the port generator has 3400 hours. This vessel has everything needed to be self-sufficient with a watermaker, Eskimo Ice Maker, large mezzanine freezer, plenty of mezzanine storage, a full galley with Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers, a 3 stateroom/2 bathroom layout, and storage throughout the vessel.

If you are looking for a sportfishing boat that can deliver the speed, comfort, and fishability while being competitive on the tournament circuit, you have found your boat here.
