Description
1997 42' Strike Express
This 1997 42' Strike Express is a rare find—a battle-ready sportfishing machine that has been meticulously rebuilt from the hull up. With over $400,000 invested since 2022, every major system has been modernized to create a platform that rivals new builds in reliability and performance. Since its comprehensive overhaul, the vessel has seen minimal use and remains in peak condition.

- Rebuilt Power: Twin MAN 800s, fully rebuilt in 2022 with only 75 hours logged since the overhaul.
- Generator: New 8.5kW Phasor Marine Generator (2022) with less than 10 hours. Built on a reliable Kubota diesel block for durability and quiet, low-RPM operation.
- New Electronics: Brand new Garmin suite (2022) featuring a Garmin GPSMAP 7616 and a Garmin GPSMAP 7612 for state-of-the-art navigation and fish-finding.
- Modern Controls: Brand-new ZF Marine electronic controls (2022) featuring precision technology for seamless shifting and synchronization.
- Full Paint Job: Complete professional paint job (2022) on both the hull and topsides, leaving the vessel with a brilliant, like-new finish.
- Interior Overhaul: New interior lighting and a brand-new, high-capacity air conditioning system installed in 2022.

- Stepped Hull: Engineered for maximum fuel efficiency and speed.
- Aggressive Entry: Features a 56° bow entry and 24° transom deadrise for exceptional handling in heavy seas.
