I now own 3 boats and this one has to go. I have owned it since new and it always has received the best of everything care wise. This fresh water only boat has never seen salt and is in like-new condition.
The Carolina Classic 28 is a sturdy, strictly-business fisherman with clean lines, and a deep-V hull. Construction is solid fiberglass, and her 10'6'' beam results in a very roomy cockpit. It has a surprisingly complete cabin below with a big V-Berth, stand-up head with shower, a compact galley with corain countertop, microwave, and teak-framed cabinetry. Easy-access engine room (the entire bridge deck raises at the push of a button.) The cockpit has plenty of room and includes a pair of in-deck fish boxes, gunnel rod holders, a transom livewell, and fresh and raw water washdowns. Additional features include side-dumping exhausts, wide side decks, high gunwales, and a well-arranged helm with flush-mounted electronics. This is a fresh water boat that has NEVER been in salt water.

History:
Meticulously cared for and in exceptional condition. 500 hours at least 50% of which are slow troll hours. Freshwater Boat Only. Priced to sell at $ 112,900.
This is one sweet boat, I have been in awe of this boat for the past 2 years when I see it in the west end of Lake Ontario. If I had the $$$$ I would not have let it get here. Someone is going to get an awesome boat. Good Luck with the sale.

Beautiful boat and looks like it's been well cared for. How slow would it troll? How many fishermen did you usually fish with?
Usually troll with 1 motor if it is calm, 2 if it is rough.
1 motor gets you down to 2 mph without bags, lower with a bag
On both motors it trolls down to about 2.5 to 2.6.
Usually it is just me and my son, but ocassionally 4 or 5 people total.
