Cabo 44′ Upstaged as a TV personality

Posted by Oyster Harbors | Posted in Cabo | Posted on 12-05-2010 | Comments 0

A striking blond holding a microphone doesn’t often come in second in commanding attention. But such was the case at the Miami International Boat Show in February, when a winsome TV personality drew less notice than the black-shouldered boat she was unveiling. Little wonder. Cabo Yachts’ 44 Hardtop Express, which will launch this fall, was designed to command attention.

She’d better, since she’ll replace the Cabo 45 Express, a stalwart since she launched in 1997. The 44, designed by Michael Peters, , is slightly shorter and wider with more V at the transom – 16 degrees compared to 11.5. She’s also heavier than the 45 by about 13,000 pounds.

The 44 was designed to maximize interior volume, which Cabo claims is the largest in this class. Her master features rod towage cabinets to port and starboard, but if that’s not enough, the standard main-cabin layout features an “angler’s room” to starboard and aft of the head, dedicated to rod and tackle stowage. A Pullman berth is standard, but if you need more bunk space, Cabo offers an optional extra stateroom with an over-under setup. For even more bunk space, the dinette can convert to a sleeper.

The 44’s hardtop configuration is also different. A full-height windshield encloses the center helm on three sides; it’s set up Palm Beach style and there’s room on the dash for two 17-inceh monitors and an array of gauges. The hardtop itself features a hatch, integral lighting, and dedicated compartments for teaser reels and a stereo. Standard seating is an L-shape bench to port, with a bucket seat to starboard and the option for another bucket to port.

Another big point of difference is the 44’s mezzanine seating, a great palace from which to watch the action. There’s stowage underneath, an engine-access hatch, and a tackle center to starboard across the step-down.

Two macerated, insulated fishboxes are standard in the cockpit; the starboard one can hold an optional refrigeration plate or ice chipper. A standard 48-gallon livewell resides in the transom box.

The Cabo 44 Hardtop Express (Express 2.0 you might call her) is faithful to her predecessor but has enough enhancements to make people pay attention, no matter who’s standing alongside. PMY

All New Cabo 44

Posted by Oyster Harbors | Posted in Cabo | Posted on 26-04-2010 | Comments 1

The new 44’s integrated hardtop signifies the next step in express design evolution for CABO, utilizing its three-sided enclosures, improved visibility, and greater comfort on the helm deck.  Below deck, the interior offers a comfortable living space equal in size to the CABO 45 Express it replaces and larger than competitor’s models in this range.  The most dramatic difference in the layout is the addition of either an optional second stateroom, or an angler’s room.  This extra space allows for easy interior storage of fishing gear or the comfort of a private stateroom away from the master.  Another unique touch is the full-length galley counter against the aft bulkhead, making access to appliances easier while creating more floor space in the living/dining area.  The master stateroom and shared head are forward of the main living area and offer the comfort and amenities in keeping with the next generation of CABOs.

Although many things are very different about the 44 Hardtop Express, there are many features that are consistent with a traditional CABO.  Like every CABO ever built, the design for this boat began in the cockpit, making sure that it meets the demands of serious anglers.  Fish boxes, a tackle center, and bait well in the transom are all standard—and new mezzanine seating provides a comfortable perch when watching the spread.  The combined area of the cockpit and the mezzanine bests both the CABO 45 as well as the competition.  And like many of the latest CABOs to be introduced in the past few years, the 44’s foundation is a Michael Peters designed hull.  From there, the propulsion design, electrical systems, and attention to detail in every screw and hinge is executed in the same manner that built CABO’s reputation for a rugged and efficient build.

The exterior design, and interior appointments make this possibly the most appealing CABO ever to be built.  Its innovative design and more luxurious appointments, combined with its aggressive pricing, will appeal to cruising enthusiasts that may have never considered a CABO before, while continuing to meet the demands of its core market—serious offshore anglers.

Cabo 36 Express

Posted by Oyster Harbors | Posted in Cabo | Posted on 04-03-2010 | Comments 0

A Refined Classic!
CABO Yachts Introduces The New 36 Express.

From its inception in 1991, CABO Yachts has distinguished itself among sportfishing boat builders. Since the introduction of its first 35, the company has repeatedly set the bar for quality, innovative design, inventive engineering and the application of state-of-the-art materials. The result is a fleet that has been often imitated, but not surpassed in its ability to satisfy even the most demanding sportfishing enthusiasts.

“The new 36 Express is undeniable proof that CABO Yachts has continued it’s dedication and commitment to its customers to provide the best sportfishers built anywhere.” – Greg Bourque, CABO Yachts founding team member and Director of Business Development.

The new 36 Express is a clear example of CABO’s commitment to excellence and willingness to listen to customers. Its predecessor, the 35 Express, has been immensely successful—with CABO delivering nearly 400 since it took the market by storm in 1994. The 35 Express has clearly become a classic, and the new 36 looks to build on that solid reputation. Greg Bourque, one of the original owners of CABO Yachts who recently rejoined the company, stresses the importance of CABO’s history in leading the development of future products. “We now build 12 models ranging from the 32 Express to the new CABO 52 Flybridge—and every model has been driven by the needs of our customers. Some wanted to stay with CABO but needed a larger boat; others required a model with more range. Then there were those looking for the latest in propulsion technology—like the new CMD Zeus pod drive system. By listening to their needs and incorporating their ideas, every model has hit its mark.”

Greg’s comments reflect CABO’s roots in what he calls the companies DNA. “Not every boat owner aspires to move up in size to the 40 or 50 foot range. The beauty of the boats we offer in the 30 foot range is that they can go offshore and compete with the big guys when needed, but are much more manageable and far less complicated to own and run.” Greg confesses his own appreciation for the larger CABOs. “I love our new 52 Flybridge, but I believe the most exciting new CABO is the 36 Express. This boat takes everything that was great about the 35 and with its new Michael Peters hull, brings its offshore performance to a level not often seen in a boat of this size. I am sure that anyone looking for a new boat in the mid 30-foot range will be amazed at what this new model can do. I know it’s a winner because it is a CABO from stern to stern.”
