Broker Overview

This 2017 F&S Custom Express Sportfish, named "Boobah," represents a unique opportunity for a serious angler seeking a high-performance, custom-built vessel. F&S is renowned for their cold-molded construction, utilizing diagonal plank Okoume plywood and Kevlar laminates on the hull bottom, which translates to a superior ride and exceptional durability. The dual MTU 12vM96L power package ensures robust performance, ideal for offshore fishing and cruising. What sets this express apart is the integrated flybridge, offering enhanced visibility and control without compromising the sleek profile of an express. The interior features a well-appointed two-stateroom, three-head layout with an additional Pullman berth, providing comfortable accommodation for extended trips. The custom woodwork is a hallmark of F&S, reflecting a high level of craftsmanship throughout. While lacking bow or stern thrusters, the custom Palm Beach Tower’s aluminum work, including a fold-down hardtop for height-restricted passes, demonstrates thoughtful engineering for practical use. This vessel is a compelling option for a buyer prioritizing custom quality, proven performance, and a versatile layout in the sportfish market.

The custom woodwork is a significant value add, showcasing the bespoke nature of an F&S. For a buyer, the value for money here lies in the custom build quality and the proven performance pedigree.
