2006 Carolina Classic Express

This 2006 32-foot Carolina Classic Express is a fiberglass express sportfish built for offshore fishing and extended cruising. Powered by twin Cummins QSB 5.9 diesel engines rated at 425 HP each with approximately 2,670 hours on each, the boat cruises at 24 knots and carries roughly 355 gallons of fuel across three tanks. The hull design delivers a solid ride in rough conditions, a hallmark of Carolina Classic construction.

The boat features a full tower with fly-by-wire Glendinning controls and SeaStar power hydraulic steering. The cockpit includes two refrigerated fish boxes for tournament or daily fishing. The cabin has air conditioning and heat for comfortable overnight stays. Electronics include networked Furuno NavNet VX2 systems with radar and sonar, Icom VHF radios, and Simrad autopilot for navigation and control.

Additional systems include a Westerbeke 5KW diesel generator with approximately 1,129 hours and an eight-person life raft mounted to the tower with service due May 2027. In September 2024, the boat received a new helm enclosure with Strataglass and a canvas tower cover. The boat is a one-owner example with approximately 2,670 hours on the main engines.
