1985 Custom Carolina Sheldon Midgette 55

This 1985 Custom Carolina Sheldon Midgette 55 is a wood-hulled flybridge yacht built for serious fishing and cruising. Powered by a single 1000-horsepower Caterpillar diesel engine, the boat reaches a maximum speed of 27 knots and cruises at 22 knots, delivering the performance and range expected from a displacement hull of this size and construction.

The boat is equipped for extended time on the water and fishing operations. Onboard systems include a 6-kilowatt generator, air conditioning, and both refrigerator and freezer. Navigation and fish-finding electronics comprise a Garmin suite, Koden radar, Mini Mac sonar, and Simrad autopilot. Three fighting chairs are mounted on the working deck, suited to the yacht's original design.

Additional features include a bow thruster for enhanced maneuverability. At 55 feet in length with a 17-foot beam, the boat offers a substantial platform for cruising or fishing operations in a classic design from a renowned builder.
