This 45-foot Rybovich Convertible is a cold-molded, jig-built sportfish with substantial construction: the hull features an extra layer of bottom glass applied to both interior and exterior surfaces using heavy woven fiberglass mat. Originally launched in 1972, the boat was completely refitted and repowered in 2017 at Palm Beach Rybovich Yard with twin Cummins diesel engines producing 1,200 horsepower combined. The yacht reaches a maximum speed of 31 knots and cruises comfortably at 26 knots.
Built to exacting specifications for durability and range, the boat carries 900 US gallons of fuel, enabling extended offshore capability. The design reflects the original owner's priorities for safety and economy in remote fishing destinations. The yacht has seen only four prior owners throughout its five-decade history and has fished worldwide.
