1998 Cabo 45 Express

"Wartime" is an exceptional example of a Cabo 45 Sportfish Express and represents a rare turn-key opportunity for the serious offshore angler. Powered by twin CAT 3196 engines producing 660 horsepower each, the vessel currently shows 3,750 hours on the mains and a nearly new Kohler generator with only 776 hours. The current owner has spared no expense throughout his ownership; backed by meticulous attention to detail and an open-checkbook approach, the vessel has been maintained to an exceptional standard.

In addition, the boat is full-time captain maintained, fishes the tournament circuit in the northern Gulf, and has proven itself as a consistent tournament leader-speaking volumes about both its performance and upkeep.

The one-stateroom owner's layout forward with private head is the most sought-after configuration, and the stunning teak interior with high-gloss matched grain locker doors and teak and holly sole sets a remarkable first impression. From the Pipewelders tower to the fully outfitted cockpit, "Wartime" is loaded with premium upgrades and ready to fish - do not miss this one.
