A rare opportunity to own a piece of sportfishing history: 1963 Rybovich 45' Sportfisherman.

Rybovich - the legendary West Palm Beach builder renowned for pioneering modern sportfish design - crafted only a handful of these iconic 45-footers in the early 1960s. This classic plank-on-frame beauty (hull #54 in the Rybovich registry) embodies the golden era of custom wooden sportfish boats: timeless lines, exceptional craftsmanship, and battle-tested performance that still turns heads today.

Key Features:

• LOA: 45 feet of pure Rybovich pedigree

• Power: Twin 1999 Cummins 6CTA 8.3-M3 430hp (4141 hours), Northern Lights generator 16Kw (1585 hours)

• Construction: Premium mahogany construction with the legendary Rybovich ride - soft, dry, and responsive

• Layout: Classic convertible sportfish configuration with spacious cockpit for serious fishing, comfortable salon, galley, and 2 staterooms, head and separate shower for overnight trips or tournaments

• Proven Heritage: These boats were built to chase big game in the Gulf Stream and beyond, with handling and fishability that modern composites still strive to match

• Bridge: New enclosure 2025 (Isenglas & EZ2See), SeaDeck flooring, 5 rocket launchers

• Electronics: Furuno 12" GPS, Starlink,JL Mediamaster 100s Stereo with 2 800 watt amps, 8 JL speakers & 2 10" subs, Icom VHF

• Interior Updates: Complete retrofit. New flooring, cabinets, quartz countertops. Thor refrigerator, Samsung Microwave, Empava 2 burner glass cooktop, 2 Marine Air 16,000 BTU AC units (2025), Hotpoint chest freezer (cockpit)

• Miscellaneous: Triple spreader outriggers, dripless shaft seals, bottom paint (2025): prop speed on running gear (2025), cockpit table with 4 rod holders and fighting chair.


Whether you're a collector, tournament angler, or enthusiast seeking a restoration project to concours standards (or a ready-to-fish classic with updates), this is a rare chance to acquire one of the true icons from the Rybovich brothers' most productive era.
