1997 42' Strike Express This 1997 42' Strike Express is a rare find-a battle-ready sportfishing machine that has been meticulously rebuilt from the hull up. With over $400,000 invested since 2022, every major system has been modernized to create a platform that rivals new builds in reliability and performance. Since its comprehensive overhaul, the vessel has seen minimal use and remains in peak condition. 2022 Major Refit and Upgrades: Rebuilt Power: Twin MAN 800s, fully rebuilt in 2022 with only 75 hours logged since the overhaul. Generator: New 8.5kW Phasor Marine Generator (2022) with less than 10 hours. Built on a reliable Kubota diesel block for durability and quiet, low-RPM operation. New Electronics: Brand new Garmin suite (2022) featuring a Garmin GPSMAP 7616 and a Garmin GPSMAP 7612 for state-of-the-art navigation and fish-finding. Modern Controls: Brand-new ZF Marine electronic controls (2022) featuring precision technology for seamless shifting and synchronization. Full Paint Job: Complete professional paint job (2022) on both the hull and topsides, leaving the vessel with a brilliant, like-new finish. Interior Overhaul: New interior lighting and a brand-new, high-capacity air conditioning system installed in 2022. Performance and Handling: Stepped Hull: Engineered for maximum fuel efficiency and speed. Aggressive Entry: Features a 56° bow entry and 24° transom deadrise for exceptional handling in heavy seas. Versatility: Propeller pockets allow for a shallow 48" draft, perfect for coastal and island cruising. Notable Features: Fishing Ready: Includes a dedicated tackle center, rigging station, and fresh/saltwater washdowns. Luxury Cabin: Spacious interior with a full galley, Corian countertops, and an entertainment system. Hull Maintenance: Bottom paint is approximately 2 years old and well-maintained, with a professional diver cleaning the bottom monthly. Durability: Heavy-duty stainless shafts and bronze struts/rudders. Specifications: LOA: 42' Beam: 15' 2" Draft: 48" Displacement: 38,000 lbs. Fuel/Water: 450 gal. fuel / 150 gal. freshwater capacity.
