2002 Carolina Classic 28 à venda

The Carolina Classic 28 is widely regarded as one of the finest diesel-powered express sportfishing boats ever produced in her class. Her deep-V hull with 24 degrees of deadrise provides a soft, confident ride in challenging offshore conditions while maintaining excellent stability at trolling speeds. This 2002 example has benefited from extensive mechanical upgrades and preventative maintenance, making her an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a turnkey diesel sportfisher. Twin Cummins 4BTA 3.9M diesel engines are paired with Twin Disc transmissions and supported by a Westerbeke 5kW generator. A standout feature of this vessel is the professionally integrated Marlin Tower (Command Tower), providing exceptional visibility for locating bait, spotting fish, navigating shallow waters, and enhancing overall offshore fishing performance. The tower station complements the primary helm and offers serious anglers the elevated sightlines typically found on much larger sportfishing yachts. The vessel is further equipped with outriggers, creating an ideal trolling platform for targeting pelagic species. Combined with the spacious cockpit, livewell, fish boxes, rod storage, and numerous rod holders, this Carolina Classic is purpose-built for offshore fishing adventures. Recent improvements include brand-new engine mounts, replacement shaft packing, new Duramax non-metallic cutlass bearings, upgraded 105-amp alternators, new Racor fuel filters and supply lines, and new Groco bronze raw-water strainers and scoop pickups serving the engines, generator, air conditioning system, and washdown pumps. Freshwater flushing provisions have also been installed for both main engines. An integrated oil-changing system simplifies routine maintenance for both engines and generator. New Rule 2000 bilge pumps provide enhanced safety and reliability, while an upgraded electrical system includes a dedicated 4D house battery bank, automatic charging relay, and battery parallel capability for emergency charging and starting. Included with the vessel are two brand-new, never-installed Cummins aftercooler housings, a discontinued component with an estimated replacement value of approximately $4,500, as well as a substantial inventory of spare filters, seals, gaskets, impeller kits, and maintenance supplies. An additional benefit for prospective owners is the vessel's current slip at Salt River Marina. Subject to marina approval, the slip is transferable and qualifies for named-storm insurance coverage, a valuable advantage for Caribbean-based boaters.
