ACCOMMODATIONS AND LAYOUT:
Elected Boating Magazine's 1997 Boat of the Year.

Five-Star best describes the accommodations aboard the Cabo 45 Express. Everywhere flawless book-matched woods and blemish free finishes gleam in the custom designed halogen lighting. Ultra Leather upholstery and six speaker sound system from Bose go well beyond the standard fishing machine category. Luxurious interior accommodations aside; the Cabo 45 Express is foremost a serious sport fisher capable of turning on a dime and backing down in fast chase mode.  Designed with a wide beam and modified-V bottom with an exceptionally low center of gravity, this yacht will keep to station right where you put her, and when the matched set of 800 hp MAN diesel engines are given the signal she will cruise out at 25 to 30 knots. Built to withstand nearly all sea conditions, the Cabo 45 Express is as strong as she is elegant, the result is one of the best mid-sized platforms afloat for serious fishing and waterborne fun.

At the stern a brief swim platform with an artful stainless steel fold-down swim ladder provides convenient boarding access to the cockpit through a transom door.  Designed for fishing, the cockpit has molded-in non-skid decking, padded combings, built-in fish-holds, a large bait tank with Lucite window built into the transom, a bait-prep & tackle center built into the forward cockpit bulkhead adjacent to an engine room access door, a pedestal mounted fighting chair and all the other amenities game fishers expect to have at-hand aboard an award winning sport fishing yacht.

Forward and up three steps from the cockpit the bridge deck is shaded by a fiberglass hard-top with canvass & isinglass side closures and an integrated fiberglass arch over the top for antennas & lights.  An upholstered L-shaped settee extends along the aft portion of the bridge deck and to port around a center mounted helm settee.  The helm settee is elevated by a custom base with storage drawers inset to port and starboard and at the back a fold-away serving table for the aft settee. From a nicely elevated vantage point the helmsman has clear views for piloting, monitoring the engine gauges, and viewing the excellent array of navigation electronics fitted into the fiberglass consol above the ships wheel. An electrically operated center windshield window adds ventilation when needed, and to starboard of the helm another settee is positioned to create a natural passageway from the cockpit to the cabin.

A sliding fiberglass door gives access from the bridge deck and down three steps to the main salon.  This finely finished cabin features a teak & holly sole, padded white headliner with inset spot lighting, and a tinted, overhead ventilation hatch.  To starboard is a nicely built-in galley that extends forward from the cabin entry to an L-shape at a forward bulkhead for the head compartment.  The galley features an elegant Lapis blue Corian countertop with a custom white Corian sink mounted to a gloss white wood cabinet base, and a recessed two burner ceramic cook top stove with Corian cover that is fitted over side-by-side Nova Kool refrigeration & freezer units.  Above the stovetop a microwave / convection oven is fitted into a matching set of white storage cabinets above the galley counter.  Spot lighting inset to the headliner inboard of the upper cabinets give a pleasing illumination to the counter and stove workspace.  Opposite the galley at the port side of the salon is U-shaped settee upholstered in sumptuous blue leather, and a high-low teak table with a fold-out top allowing service for cocktails or cuisine. 

To starboard and forward of the salon settee and galley, is a teak entry door to an enclosed head.  The head compartment with access doors from the salon and master cabin features a teak & holly sole, Sealand Vacuflush MSD, Lapis blue Corian counter fitted with custom sea-rails with a white under mounted Corian sink with Moen fixtures, a wall mounted vanity cabinet with mirror, and an elegantly designed circular stall shower.

Forward of the head and salon, the bow section of the yacht is dedicated to a master cabin with teak entry door.  Fitted with a centerline queen size bed, overhead hatch, hanging locker with double teak doors, a built-in bureau with teak drawers, and a built-in TV cabinet with teak trim, the air conditioned master cabin provides all the appropriate accommodations, and a separate teak door entry to the head compartment  An enclosed head features Corian countertops, and a stall shower.

Beneath the bridge deck and accessed from the cockpit is a stand-up engine room with stainless steel safety rails inboard of the main engines.  Specifically designed for good access to all machinery and with gel coat interior surfaces painted with a durable, chemical resistant white L.P. paint, the engines are readily maintained and the engine room is easily cleaned.

The foredeck has a fiberglass bowsprit fitted with stainless steel cover plate, anchor roller, anchor windlass with through-deck chain drop to a below deck chain locker, and an in-deck locker with hatch for the windlass power switches and washdown bib.  Molded-in diamond pattern non-skid decking and wrap-around stainless steel hand rails welded to deck mounted stanchions make the broad foredeck area quite secure.

REMARKS:

Elected Boating Magazine's 1997 Boat of the Year, the Cabo 45 Express is the epitome of what it is to be Cabo: quality, performance, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction. Built in the dry country of Southern California, the Cabo 45 raised the stakes for the Express Sportfisher Class and defined itself as the benchmark by which other luxury yachts of this class are measured.
Designer and builder Henry Mohrschladt summed up the concept behind the Cabo 45 Express, "More amenities, more room for bait, fish, live bait and rod storage, but with the quality of our smaller boats. That is what our customers told us they wanted." The resultant Cabo 45 Express was so well executed that those who demand the best still covet these yachts.
Condition:
This yacht is Cabo 45 Express hull # 3 and was delivered to the Cabo Dealership in Hyannis Port, MA for commissioning on June 10th 1997. Kept by the original owner in Nava Scotia, this yacht has spent approx. 3 months actually in the water per year. Consequently (as of 08-31-04) the engines have only logged 427 hours of use, and on 07-27-04 were gone through for maintenance adjustments and intercooler gasket replacement to be given a clean bill of health.
Since new the yacht has been stored 9 months of each year in a temperature controlled building and under cover and shrink-wrapped. Each year the cockpit and hull gel-coat surfaced are conditioned, waxed and polished, and each year the bottom is given a fresh coat of anti-fouling bottom paint.
High-end single owner yachts such as this that have been upgraded to the highest standards at commissioning and immaculately maintained since new (with no-expenses spared), that are also lightly used and reasonably priced are a rare commodity.
