1987 Custom Carolina Island Boatworks 34 Express

This 34-foot Custom Carolina Island Boatworks Express is a wood-hulled sportfisherman powered by twin Cummins diesel engines producing 330 horsepower each. The boat cruises at 28 knots and reaches 32 knots at top speed. Originally built for the founder of Island Boatworks, it has benefited from continuous maintenance and upgrades over its decades of service.

Recent major work includes a complete interior refurbishment in 2024, a newly constructed hardtop, and a fully refurbished tower with fresh powder coating. The electronics suite is new Garmin equipment, supplemented by a Simrad autopilot. The entertainment system features a new Fusion stereo with JL speakers and amplifier, and Lumitec LED lighting throughout. The cabin provides single-cabin accommodation with one head, and the helm area includes a full Strataglass enclosure, bridge bench seating, and updated helm chair cushions.

The twin engines were installed new in 2002 and rebuilt in 2017. The boat is outfitted and ready for operation.
