The 34' Custom Carolina Express Sportfisherman, Moby, originally built for the owner of Island Boatworks, has undergone extensive upgrades in recent years. Major 2024 updates include a completely new full interior, new Garmin electronics, and a fully refurbished tower with new powder coating. Additional highlights include twin Cummins 330hp engines (new in 2002, rebuilt in 2017), Simrad Autopilot, a full Strataglass Enclosure, and updated bridge bench seat and helm chair cushions. Well-maintained and continually improved, Moby is turnkey and ready for her next owner.
As you step below, the first door to port opens to a private head with a vanity and sink. Forward of the head is a separate, dedicated stall shower. The galley is positioned to starboard and features ample storage, including both above- and below-counter drawers and lockers, as well as a stainless-steel sink. The large forward V-berth offers comfortable bunks and drawer storage for two. All lighting and outlets are both 110V and 12V. The interior is beautifully trimmed in teak hardwood, and all soft goods are tastefully finished to complement the Classic Carolina style.
