The 2005 Rampage 38 Express is a diesel-powered sportfish built around a deep-V hull with 19-degree deadrise, designed for both offshore fishing and comfortable cruising. Twin Caterpillar C9 engines deliver 510 horsepower each, with the boat cruising at 26 knots and reaching speeds in the mid-30s. The engines show approximately 1,000 hours of use and have had a complete 1,000-hour service.
The cockpit is purpose-built for fishing, with a tackle center, fish boxes, livewell, outriggers, and a transom fish door. The helm station is enclosed for protected operation in all weather. Below deck, the cabin includes a galley with Corian countertops, refrigerator/freezer, and microwave/convection oven, along with a salon, sleeping accommodations, and one head.
Recent upgrades and service work include fuel tanks replaced in 2023, Garmin electronics updated in 2022, and AC units installed in 2025. Engine service has encompassed turbocharger replacement, aftercooler servicing, and full cooling system maintenance. At just under 40 feet with a 13-foot-9-inch beam, the boat combines practical fishing capability with adequate accommodation for extended cruising.
