Delta Boats built Afishinado according to the buyer's specifications to fish the waters from California South to Cabo.  Her layout, with but three-steps down from the bridge to the cockpit is the perfect blend between an Express and a Convertible.  You will never be out of the action on this boat, and will often beat your anglers to the rods.  She has covered bridge seating for 6 in addition to the Captain, and an open cockpit with a huge, six scoop live-bait tank plumbed with a back-up pump to ensure your bait stays lively.  Afishinado is a proven tournament/money winner in SoCal and in Cabo.    In 2003 her owner started Afishinados Charters out of Avalon on Catalina Island and is still fishing this boat along the island shores.  If a buyer chooses to set up shop for the high season in Avalon, there is a strong repeat customer base and mailing list that would ensure a profitable first year and a prime web site (www.fishcatalina.com) available.  If I were a young teacher with a passion for fishing I would jump on this opportunity to get a gorgeous boat that would pay for itself over summer.   In 2014-15 she was granted (Carl Moyer) two new Tier III Cummins 6BTA 425 hp diesel engines, so this boat must be sold as a commercial vessel and must continue operation within California.  Although a charter boat, this is a lightly used vessel since runs to the grounds are less than 6 miles, and since most charters are 4-6 hour events.  Cummins replaced a failed starboard engine at 379 hours and found that over 90% of the engine hours were at idle speed.   This is the driest running boat you will ever experience.  She sheds water past the midpoint at speed and can handle that nasty afternoon chop without any problem.  There is no flex in her hand-laid hull, she is tough and strong throughout.  We have been there when the sea is nasty.  The interior is relatively untouched since we do not do overnight runs, so you will appreciate the upgraded fabrics and full teak cabinetry throughout.   Afishinado was surveyed in 2009 at $400k replacement/$250k market value BEFORE her new engines at a cost of $200k in 2015.  She is a one-owner boat and is being sold because the owner is getting too old to keep up the pace required for running a three-boat charter biz.  New owner must change the name of the boat.
