Description
MERRY YACHT is an exceptionally maintained and extensively upgraded 2004 Cabo 48 Flybridge Sportfish, powered by highly desirable twin Caterpillar C18 engines and maintained exclusively by a Certified CAT technician.
Built during the golden era of Cabo craftsmanship, this 48 Flybridge showcases the legendary fit and finish that made Cabo one of the most respected names in offshore sportfishing yachts. Her current owner’s meticulous care, continuous preventative maintenance, and thoughtful upgrades set her apart from every other Cabo 48 available today.
The interior shows like new — featuring pristine teak cabinetry, real teak and holly flooring, upgraded LED lighting throughout, and removed salon lambrequins to maximize natural light and highlight the factory matte-finish teak. There is truly ZERO boat odor aboard.
With major preventative maintenance just completed, fresh bottom paint, updated cooling systems, rebuilt components, and numerous mechanical upgrades, MERRY YACHT is fully turn-key and tournament-ready.
If you are searching for a Cabo 48 Flybridge with CAT C18s, bow thruster, updated electronics, and a flawless interior — this is the one.
