Cabo 40 Hardtop Express 2013

The 40 Hardtop Express by Cabo seamlessly integrates the finest features of their express fleet into a single, exceptional model. With optional pod drives, this vessel offers remarkable efficiency and agility, making it one of the quickest and most responsive express boats available. GHOST, a pristine example of the 40HTX, has never been fished and is ready for cruising, yet it can be easily adapted for modern fishing needs. One of the standout features of the Hardtop Express is its integrated hardtop, a favorite among serious anglers. Equipped with CMD Zeus Pod Drives, this Michael Peters-designed blue-water hull delivers the robust strength and stability synonymous with CABO. Why choose pod drives? The benefits of Cummins Zeus pods include a significant boost in fuel efficiency, improved handling and performance thanks to steerable thrust and joystick control, and enhanced onboard space due to the engines being mounted further aft. Additionally, this design minimizes noise and vibration for a calmer ride. In terms of performance, the enhanced maneuverability of the pods allows for independent turning and articulation, providing intuitive joystick control for easy docking and slow-speed navigation. High-speed handling is also improved, offering more precise control at greater speeds, while the hydrodynamic design promotes quicker cruising and top speeds compared to traditional shaft drives. When it comes to efficiency, pod drives can enhance fuel economy by 15-30% or more, while the aft placement of the engines frees up additional onboard space, ideal for a mid-cabin, stateroom, or extra storage. Fishability is at the forefront of the 40 Hardtop Express, with meticulous planning for the cockpit layout, ensuring essentials like the bait tank, tackle center, and rod storage are optimally placed. The mezzanine seating offers a comfortable spot for observing the fishing spread or enjoying a leisurely cruise with friends and family. Insulated fishboxes are molded into the deck and equipped with in-line macerators, serving as both storage and coolers while keeping your catch fresh with a tight seal provided by full-length piano hinges and rubber gaskets. A custom-designed tackle center at the rigging station keeps lures and rigging equipment organized, equally serving cruising gear needs. Inside, the cabin of the 40 Hardtop Express exudes spaciousness and comfort, complementing the boat's top-notch fishability. The starboard settee accommodates six and converts to upper and lower bunks for overnight stays. The master stateroom features a generous island double berth along with ample drawer and locker space. The galley is fully equipped for culinary delights or simply feeding a hungry crew, and a cedar-lined hanging closet adds extra storage, with lockers on either side capable of holding up to ten rods.
