1995 Lewis Brothers 54 Flybridge Sportfish
Lewis Brothers custom hand-crafted Carolina sportfish boats are truly a part of Harkers Island boatbuilding history. Jamie Lewis and sons were honored with North Carolina�s Heritage Award for their continuation of the 19th and 20th century Harkers Island time-honored backyard boatbuilders� traditions that have informed and influenced countless sportfish builders to this day.
BODACIOUS, a Lewis 54ft flybridge sportfish boat, is constructed in the time-honored plank on frame method and encased in fiberglass using the West epoxy system and features the traditional wide Carolina flared bow and broken sheer. The recently updated Lewis 54 features an immense cockpit with split lid transom fishbox, center bait rigging station with rocket launcher rod holders, cabinets against the forward bulkhead with a large BBQ grill, storage, tackle center, in-deck ice dump, Rupp outriggers and more. Teak coaming boards and trim add a touch of class. A Simrad GPS, sounder, radar display screen is mounted under the bridge overhang. An athwartship ladder leads up to flybridge with hardtop and Eisenglass 3-sided spray enclosure. Bridge is a typical sportfish arrangement with peninsula helm console from portside that features a teak helm pod with single lever controls, two huge Simrad screens displaying navigation electronics, communications, and more along with two helm seats. Guest seating is forward of console and a bench seat is on starboard side.
The spacious interior open floorplan features a huge L-shaped upholstered couch on port and aft sides, that abuts the open galley forward on portside. Flooring is a beautiful easy-care faux teak laminate. Efficient galley features undercounter refrigerator and freezer drawers, stainless-steel sink, electric cooktop, Corian countertops, and satin-finished storage cabinetry for longer offshore fishing trips. A settee with matching upholstery is on starboard side, along with the entertainment center, and flatscreen TV mounted on the starboard forward bulkhead.

The Lewis Brothers 54 with its superior Carolina ride, was built rugged and efficient for serious offshore fishing.
