2002 43 Cabo Sportfisherman "Reel Slick"
The "Reel Slick" has been continuously upgraded and always maintained to the highest of standards, the owners have strived to do the preventative maintenance that the boat requires while always looking for ways to make her even better. She is unlike any other Cabo 43 with her custom helm layout, featuring pod single lever controls, her full tuna tower, her teak cockpit with remote engine controls and her black mask and sleek look with no bow rail. The "Reel Slick" is powered by very efficient and powerful V8 800hp MANs which have just received their 1000hr service which included new exhaust risers and a completely new dual racor fuel filter system. You will see lots of upgrades noted  throughout the listing, ranging from Garmin electronics and bridge enclosure to Veem props and cutlass bearings, which have made this a turn-key ready boat!
