77′ Hatteras 2008 | Dos Rosas
Asking: $2,250,000
As you walk up to Dos Rosas it’s evident of the owner’s personal attachment to this beautiful 77 Hatteras Enclosed Bridge Sportfish for the past 12 years. Immediately noticeable is the freshly painted “fighting lady” hull sides of both the tender (a 2007 16-ft Egret flats boat) and the ‘mother ship’ that carries her, as well as the cloud-white topsides painted with Awl-craft 2000 (done in 2018), attracting everyone that sees her. Then you will notice the meticulously refurbished teak cockpit with custom 5/8-inch deck boards planking and new teak covering boards (done in 2016). The real showpiece of “deck jewelry” is the custom Release fighting chair with a 3″ offset base made to fit perfectly for ample room to fish or change out the fighting chair for a cocktail table (not included) and have one of the most elegant aft decks of any motor yacht. And check out the full teak transom.
Powered by reliable 2-MTU 16V2000 engines, Dos Rosas cruises comfortably at 25 knots at 1800 RPM with a burn rate of 130 GPH and a 445-mile range. The yacht also has a hydraulic American Bow thruster for ease of docking or maneuvering around on a fish. Not bad for a 77-ft vessel with custom 5 state room/10 bed layout designed for luxurious comfort and fishability. She has a 22-foot beam with a 2- degree deadrise and prop pockets that make this hull steady as a rock and able to get up on plane with ease.

40′ Cabo 2007 | Manana

When introduced in 2003 the Cabo 40′ Manana redefined what a mid-size sportfishing vessel should be. The now famous Michael Peters hull design features a sharp entry, hard spray chine, huge bow flare, wide beam, shallow draft, modified prop pockets and a half keel. The hull on the 2003 Cabo 40′ translates to a seamless riding vessel in all sea states. Manana features two staterooms, two heads, a spacious cabin with a full galley, dinette and L-shaped sofa. The flybridge offers excellent visibility and comfortable seating all throughout. Fast, maneuverable, and efficient the 40′ Cabo offers best in class performance, build quality and ride!
Cabo has always had great reputation for sound engineering, sporty designs, and an innate ability to raise fish. We like this production sportfish boat for the center-console fishing boat owners ready to upgrade to something with more accommodations such as air conditioning, mezzanine seating, a nice galley, and a comfortable berth. Manana definitely fits the bill of a pre-owned sportfish to see at FLIBS.
