2004 Cabo 40 Hardtop Express

South Padre Island, Texas

$389,000

Well outfitted, extremely well maintained  and ready to go now. There were electronics and outrigger upgrades along with teaser reel plugs to make the crew competitive fishing tournaments with the big boys and those upgrades paid off nicely with wins and high placing finishes over the past 5 years. The captain and mate have kept this boat in top notch condition and now they have moved up to a 60’ so this boat needs to sell soon. The boat has moved with regularity so no worries about this one going to waste at the dock. 

This 40’ Cabo Express has had two very savvy owners over the past 9 years. The previous owner had a full paint job to repair the gelcoat crazing that is so common in these year model Cabo’s, Vikings and Posts. The right way to do that paint job is the way this one has been done. The generator was replaced in 2021. All engine services are up to date and performed ahead of due dates. Exhaust Risers done in 2024. One Garmin MFD is being replaced under warranty.

Call me with any questions or concerns and we can arrange showings last minute or scheduled.
