2021 Midnight Express 43 Solstice

This 2021 Midnight Express 43 Solstice is a center console powered by five Mercury Racing 450hp engines with just 480 hours of operation. The boat reaches 69 knots and cruises at 52 knots, combining offshore capability with refined performance. Custom options throughout include a black gel coat bottom, painted motors and hard top, and an extended hard top with a shower and fixed moon roof. A six-rod rack spans the transom, and the hardtop carries another six-rod arrangement. The hull is painted, with foam flooring installed across the cockpit, console, and transom well.

Accommodations center on a forward U-seat with a stylized fiberglass base and an electric table that converts to a sun pad. The aft U-lounge seat includes storage and a fiberglass foundation. The helm features a full-width cooler integrated into the seat, plus two pull-out Frigid Rigid coolers behind. A cabin area houses a television with DVD player, Apple TV, 110-volt and USB outlets, an inverter system, and 8000 BTU reverse-cycle air conditioning.

The boat is fitted with a Seakeeper 3 gyro stabilizer paired with a new Dakota lithium battery, and an 80-kilogram bow thruster with dash-mounted rocker switch control. Navigation and monitoring systems include three Garmin chartplotters—two 8622 units and one 9222—plus a forward cabin Garmin 8610 and a rear-facing 722 unit. Additional electronics include a Phantom 54 open-array radar, Fantom 54 open-array radar, GSD24 and GSD20 side-view sounders, FLIR capabilities, a rear camera, and Siren 3 security system. The sound system features 18 cockpit speakers, six 12-inch subwoofers, four amplifiers, and Bluetooth connectivity. Spectrum LED underwater lights illuminate the transom and steps. Anchoring is handled by a quick windlass system with 300 feet of line, 10 feet of galvanized chain, and a polished stainless steel anchor with custom roller system.
