This 61’ custom sportfisher, launched in 2004, blends performance and practicality in a compact, high-speed package. Powered by twin 1,000hp C18 Caterpillar engines, it boasts a top speed of 45 knots and a cruising speed of 30 knots, making it an ideal choice for both long-range runs and quick, offshore pursuits. With an 18’ beam and a 5’ draft, the boat provides stability and excellent handling in various conditions, supported by a 1,300-gallon fuel capacity.

Inside, the vessel features two staterooms, plus over/under bunks in the hallway for additional sleeping arrangements. A rod locker keeps equipment secure, while the teak interior and Corian countertops add a touch of elegance and functionality.

A versatile, fast, and efficient sportfisher, Hull #5 delivers a perfect combination of speed, comfort, and fishing-ready performance.
