1997 Cabo 45 Express “Til You Can’t”

 “Til you Can’t” is an exceptional opportunity to own a truly standout sportfishing yacht—one that pairs the legendary ride and fishability of the Cabo 45 with an extraordinary rebuild pedigree and a serious offshore equipment package.

This vessel underwent a comprehensive rebuild in 2012 by Team Journeyman, a name widely respected for transforming yachts to an exceptional standard. This was far more than a cosmetic refresh. Virtually every part of the boat was touched, rebuilt, upgraded, or refined, resulting in a highly customized and remarkably well-executed sportfishing platform that reflects an uncommon level of care, craftsmanship, and vision.

Built on Cabo’s proven “modified-V fiberglass hull”, “Til You Can’t” delivers the solid ride, confident handling, and offshore performance that have made these boats so respected among serious anglers. She is powered by twin Caterpillar C-12 inboard engines rated at 715 HP each, providing an approximate 24-knot cruise and a top speed of 27 knots.

For the avid fisherman, this boat is exceptionally well equipped and ready to perform. Features include hydraulic outriggers for ease of deployment, Custom Bait Tanks, Tuna Tubes, A CH-250 side-scanning sonar, a new electronics package, Ice Chipper to keep the catch cool, watermaker, and a Custom C-Fab tuna Tower. Every element of the build reflects the needs of a knowledgeable owner who wanted a boat capable of serious offshore work without compromise.

Comfort and usability have not been overlooked. A SeaKeeper 6 Gyro-stabilizer adds impressive offshore stability and makes time on the water more enjoyable whether running, drifting, or spending extended days aboard. Below deck, the boat offers a warm and functional interior with a comfortable cabin and well-appointed head, giving her the versatility to handle both hardcore fishing and relaxed cruising. An electric windlass adds convenience at anchor and rounds out a highly capable package.

“Til You Can’t” is not simply another Cabo 45 Express—it is a boat with pedigree, presence, and substance. For the buyer seeking a proven offshore platform with extensive custom upgrades, exceptional rebuild history, and the right equipment in all the right places, this is a vessel that deserves serious attention.

Shown by appointment only.  This is a must-see boat for the discerning sportfishing buyer.
