Owner says "sell this boat!" This Capps 53 Custom Sportfishing is priced right. Powered by CAT 3406 diesels at 800hp she's got a smooth, efficient 25 knot cruise at 1850rpms and tops out over 30 knots on the pins. Nicely equipped inside with two staterooms, 2 heads and a roomy, comfortable salon. Centerline queen forward with master head and separate shower and guest stateroom with over-under bunks on the port side with the day head to starboard with separate shower and separate washer-dryer. Teak and holly flooring in the galley and both heads, corian countertops and trim and nicely varnished cabinetry throughout. The present owner has done a nice job with maintenance and upgrades. She may be the biggest 53 Custom Carolina boat you ever step aboard. She could use a bottom job to get the years of bottom paint off and would benefit greatly with hull paint job as the original blue is losing its grip on the primer.
