![]() I was wondering if everyone with access to fuel flow data would give me their fuel flow figures for normal cruise speed /fuel burn and then say 7 kts (troll speed) in the below format. Pretty amazing numbers, down side is is 55 lt/hr per side on the way out at 22 kts Mymate has a Caribbean 40 that used 2.9 litres / hr a side at troll speed (just in gear). I like the speed that outboard(s) provide but i am just not sold on twin outboards for the high fuel burn of twins, single outboard is obviously the best choice for straight line burn but diesels obviously kill them all for trolling. So I do 70 mile round trips straight out and back most trips, often more when running lures. Most of my time is spent out at the trench either deep drop or dragging lures. * Water Capacity: 80 gal.I am doing some preliminary work looking for a new boat but I’m really struggling to find a solution. * Transom Deadrise: 17 degrees * Fuel Capacity: 400 gal. As a result they retain their value well, and current offerings on the market range from just over $135,000 to about $275,000. The Cabo 35 express is a boat in demand, and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. ![]() Along with the expected differences of having a flybridge and an enclosed saloon, this version of the boat also had a (very small) second stateroom with over-under berths. There’s also a tackle stowage module aft of the helm.Ĭabo also produced a flybridge version of this boat, though fewer were sold and as a result, there are fewer listed on today. The cockpit is just over 100 square feet, twin macerated fishboxes are in the deck, the port module houses a rigging station with a sink, and the starboard module houses a cooler that on some boats was fitted with a freezer plate. Cockpit layout remained the same, however, as it earned the accolades of anglers of all stripes. The hull design was updated in 2001, in an attempt to reduce spray and improve the ride. The 35 Express was introduced in 1992 and was built through 2008. The majority of the boats sold, however, had the Queen berth arrangement. The dinette could also be converted into a berth for extra sleeping accommodations. The 35 was offered with two berthing arrangements, an off-set Queen berth forward to port, or a V-berth with two single bunks and two Pullman berths. As a general rule the Cabo 35’s seen on the brokerage market tend to be solid vessels, and most were also well-maintained as they tended to be owned by very serious fishermen who ran far offshore on a regular basis.Īs one would expect from an express of this size, the cabin had an open layout with sleeping accommodations forward, a galley and stand-up head to port, and a settee with dinette to starboard. Premium materials including vinylester resins, Baltec hullside coring, biaxial-stitched fiberglass, and heavy-duty hardware were used throughout. Wiring in the engine room (and throughout the boat) is among the best seen on any sportfishing yachts, period, with well-marked, loomed, ramrod-straight runs.Ĭabos in general including the 35 were known for excellent construction. Engine access is via a lifting helm-deck, a system which Cabo adopted earlier than most builders of the time and which provides exceptional engine access for maintenance chores. Some newer models had Cummins QSC 8.3 diesels, bumping the total horsepower up to 1080. Range at cruise, thanks to a 400 gallon fuel capacity, is in excess of 300 nautical miles. Outfitted with twin straight-shaft diesel inboards like 435 HP CAT 3208 TA’s or 450 HP 3126’s, a 35 Express can be expected to cruise in the upper 20-knot range and hit a top-end of 30 to 34 knots. Most Cabo 35 Expresses you see on the market, like this 1999 model currently offered for sale in Brielle, NJ, are rigged for serious offshore angling. ![]() Small enough to be run economically but large enough to handle far offshore waters, it was a top choice for serious bluewater anglers in search of the perfect saltwater fishing boat. ![]() ![]() Cabo yachts built a number of convertible and express-style fishing boats, ranging from a 31 up to the beefy Cabo 52 Express, but one of the most popular offerings they ever created was the 35 Express. ![]()
