This 2004 Ebony Custom Sportfish 65 Convertible represents a serious opportunity for the discerning angler or cruiser seeking a robust, well-equipped platform. Built with a cored fiberglass hull, this vessel offers a solid foundation for offshore performance. The twin MTU 12VDDC2000M91 engines provide ample power, making her a capable contender for serious fishing or comfortable long-range cruising. A significant advantage is the recent investment in key systems: a new Kabota generator in 2023 and a new Cummins generator in 2022, ensuring reliable power. Furthermore, the topside paint was refreshed in 2023, and a new Garmin electronics package was installed, bringing her navigation and fish-finding capabilities up to modern standards. Her three-cabin, three-head layout offers comfortable accommodations for owners and guests, while the dedicated aft cockpit is clearly designed for serious fishing. The presence of bow thrusters, stabilizers, and a SeaKeeper system significantly enhances comfort and maneuverability, distinguishing her from many vessels in this class. While a custom build, the recent upgrades and thoughtful layout present a compelling package for a buyer looking for a turn-key option with proven offshore pedigree.
