Classic Carolina Sportfishing Performance in a Proven 28-Foot Package

The 1995 Carolina Classic 28 Express combines the rugged construction, offshore capability, and traditional Carolina styling that have made these boats popular among serious anglers.

Designed with a deep-V fiberglass hull and a generous 10'6" beam, this 28-foot express offers a substantial fishing platform with the versatility to enjoy both offshore adventures and coastal cruising.

Powered by twin Crusader gasoline inboards, reportedly rated at 385 horsepower each, this Carolina Classic offers approximately 770 combined horsepower. The twin-engine configuration provides maneuverability around the docks and the power expected of a dedicated offshore fishing vessel.

The express layout combines a functional cockpit with the protection and convenience of an enclosed forward cabin, making it suitable for fishing excursions and extended days on the water.

Whether you're looking for an offshore fishing platform, a weekend fishing boat, or an opportunity to own a respected Carolina-built sportfisherman, this Carolina Classic 28 deserves consideration.

Located at Safe Harbor Southport in Southport, North Carolina, the vessel is available for inspection by appointment.
