I love the boat, and 2020is can vouch that she is one heck of a sea boat, and great fishing platform, it is just that I have started leaning more to offshore fishing, and King Mackerel fishing, and wanted a bigger boat with twins as the admiral is wanting to do more fishing with me.. This boat has been fished many times to the big rock and the rise, the rockpile, and has been a fish catching machine. With over $20,000 in add on's, this is gonna make someone a great boat.
The boat is located in Minnesott Beach, NC, which is in Pamlico County. I am available pretty much all the time for sea trial or viewing, and you can reach me on my cell at 252-229-9623. I will post some pictures by tomorrow night. If anyone wants any specific pics, please feel free to shoot me an email, and I will try and take them. olupton_tandosteel@hughes.net. $55,000.00.

Wait till ya'll see some pictures of her. A buyer of this ride won't lack for any options, that's for sure.
I can't tell you how many fish I have caught on this ride, from trout to old drum to multiple offshore species. Have ridden her through some tight chop and steep seas and constantly amazed by the ride. killin' time only goes with the best in his boats so everything is top notch and kept in bristol condition. I sure am gonna miss the tower. Good luck on selling her, she'll impress someone as much as she's impressed you and I over the past 2 years.
Thanks Jay, she is turn key, and I debated keeping her, but with the new SP on the way, the wife threatened to divorce/kill me. I have put a lot of time and effort into her, and she is a great boat.

That Sailfish is rigged. I can't believe the hardware on that t-top. It's a beauty. I need some of those little tool holders you have on the outside of the transom. Where can I find some?
Good Luck,
Alan
ps...I was wondering why you are letting her go but now I see your new ride. Cannot blame you at all.
Alan, thanks man, gonna have to get together for the Tuna fishing at HI. I think the holders came from boaters world in Morehead, but I can not swear to it. They are stainless, so that makes them really nice.

Alan, Boaters world does have some of those stainless setups and some that have rod holders as well as the knife and plier holders. I have a couple on my ride and they look great along with being very functional.
I am sure gonna miss that tower and the "big screen" videos on a slow tarpon day.
Nice boat-
do you have any pics of the tower up?
Who made the top and where are they located?
can you give me a ballpark of the price to do this.
Thanks
i can't belive you are selling. i have to say this is the nicest and most decked out Sailfish i have seen.
you are giving me some ideas for mine with these pics!
Rick, thanks for the compliments, just wanted something more offshore capable with twins.
Seacoast, the tower is made by Modlins Welding in Farmville, NC, and Mobile East Marine in Alliance, NC did all the rigging. Price is about 9k, not including the gps.

Nice ride. SP looks pretty sweet as well. I am also admiring the garage.....is that @ your home? What are it's dimensions? I am about to put an addition on my home and would love to fit the boat in the garage for the winter however it probably won't happen as the boat is 23' + bracket + motor. I get ~ 32 feet in lenght on the trailer prop to hitch. Good luck on the sale!
Thanks for the comments captmatch, my shop is at my house. It is 30-0 wide x 36-0 deep x 16-0 tall, with two 12-0 wide x 14-0 tall roll up doors. I still have plenty of room front and back for my boat, and my sp is gonna be really tight, but I believe it will fit, so I think that size would work for you okay.

Guys, this boat seriously is equipped with everything and will impress the heck out of you with the way she rides. It has impressed me in quite a few situations along with catching a heck of a lot of fish. Don't worry about piecing together parts over a couple of years to get everything you want on a boat, this rig is turn key.
