1959 Rybovich Express

A 1959 Rybovich Express sportfish, 36 feet long with a 12-foot beam, built by the respected John Rybovich & Sons Boat Works. The wooden hull demonstrates the craftsmanship characteristic of the era. Power comes from a pair of Cummins QSB diesel engines, installed during a comprehensive refit in 2008.

The boat accommodates one cabin with a single head. A tuna tower was added in 2010, built by Jack Hopewell, extending the fishing capability of this classic design.

Recent work in 2024 included a new keel glassed into place, a full paint job, a bottom job, and running gear service with propeller work.
