HOLLY ANN is a pristine example of the Rampage 38 Express, renowned for its solid Carolina-style build, smooth ride, and tournament-level fishability. Rampage Yachts earned their reputation crafting rugged offshore boats that blend performance, comfort, and craftsmanship. Whether you are chasing "the big one that didn't get away" or cruising the coast in style - HOLLY ANN delivers both. Powered by twin 510-hp Caterpillar C9 diesels (2,850 hrs), she cruises comfortably at 26 kts and tops out at 34 kts. A custom fuel tank with 455-gallon capacity provides excellent range, while an Onan generator ensures comfort away from the dock.
The cockpit is designed for serious anglers, featuring port and starboard fish boxes, a built-in tackle center with sink, cutting board, drawers, and cooler box, along with a rocket launcher, 24 rod holders, large livewell, and swing-out transom door. A full suite of Raymarine electronics along with Furuno GPS and autopilot provide confident navigation.
Below deck, the air-conditioned cherrywood interior includes a well-equipped galley, U-shaped settee that converts to a double berth, and a forward V-berth stateroom. The spacious head features a vanity with sink and a separate stand-up shower.
Meticulously maintained and turnkey ready, HOLLY ANN embodies the performance, versatility, and craftsmanship that define the Rampage name. Legendary ride. Proven pedigree.
HOLLY ANN's current owners have made significant upgrades over the past few years but have their eyes on a larger model.
