Overview from around the web 1987 Davidson 48 Sportfish

The 1987 Davidson 48 Sportfish is known for its substantial offshore-fishing design, generous cockpit, and practical layout for extended days on the water

Its size and fishing-focused features can make it appealing to anglers seeking a capable sportfishing platform. Buyers typically value solid construction, usable fishing space, and dependable performance. They should carefully inspect the hull and deck, engines and drive systems, fuel and electrical systems, and any signs of water intrusion or deferred maintenance, since condition and refit history can vary considerably on a boat of this age.

The Biggest Pros and Cons

Pros

Offshore-ready size: At 48 feet, it offers the space and range suited to serious fishing and extended trips.

Fishing-focused layout: Sportfish designs typically prioritize cockpit working space, gear storage, and access to the water.

Room for crew and guests: The length can provide practical accommodations for overnight stays and longer outings.

Potential value: An older boat may cost less to acquire than a newer vessel of comparable size.

Cons

Age-related upkeep: A 1987 boat may need substantial attention to engines, systems, wiring, plumbing, and hardware.

Operating costs: Fuel, maintenance, dockage, insurance, and haul-outs can be significant for a 48-foot vessel.

Condition varies widely: Refits and maintenance history matter more than age alone; a thorough survey and mechanical inspection are essential.

Older equipment: Navigation, safety, and onboard systems may be dated or require upgrades.

Performance depends on the specific boat: Engine condition, hull condition, load, and past modifications affect speed, range, and handling. Bottom line: The Davidson 48 Sportfish can suit an owner seeking a spacious fishing platform, but its value depends heavily on condition and maintenance records. Before purchase, arrange a marine survey, engine inspection, and sea trial.

Made For

The 1987 Davidson 48 Sportfish is for anglers and boating enthusiasts who want a capable, spacious platform for offshore fishing, weekend cruising, and time aboard with family or friends.
