2002 Carolina Classic 28, 55.000 USD

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.

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 configured for offshore trolling and features a spacious cockpit, making this Carolina Classic purpose-built for offshore fishing adventures.

Recent improvements include extensive mechanical and sea‑keeping updates to engine, propulsion, fuel, and raw‑water systems. Freshwater flushing provisions have also been installed for both main engines.

An integrated oil‑changing system simplifies routine maintenance. Bilge pumping and the electrical system have been upgraded to enhance safety, reliability, and charging capability.

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.
