This 2003 Ocean 57 Convertible combines serious fishing capability with comfortable cruising accommodations. Twin Caterpillar C-18 diesel engines deliver 2,002 horsepower, with 2,650 operating hours on the engines. The boat reaches a maximum speed of 32 knots and cruises efficiently at 27 knots. The fiberglass hull spans 57 feet in length with a 16-foot 8-inch beam.
The expansive cockpit is designed for fishing, featuring a transom door, transom fish box, in-deck fish boxes, fighting chair, bait preparation center, and tackle storage. The flying bridge includes dual helm chairs, rod holders, Teaser Reels, and Garmin and Simrad electronics with single-lever Palm Beach style controls. A refrigerated drink box and U-shaped seating are positioned forward of the console. The cockpit also holds an Eskimo ice machine and water maker.
Below deck, the three-stateroom layout includes two queen bed staterooms, each with private head and shower, plus a bunk room connected to a day head. A galley and dinette flow from a multi-level salon. The boat is equipped with a washer and dryer.
Recent service work includes new Caterpillar engine gauge screens, replacement of both main fuel tanks, aftercooler replacement, heat exchanger cleaning, and sea water tube replacement completed in June 2023. The cockpit non-skid decking was repainted during the same period.
