2017 43 Custom Carolina Cinco Boatworks Express - HOW ABOUT IT

EASY TO SEE IN STUART, FL

HOW BOUT IT is a stunning 43' Custom Carolina built by Cinco Boatworks, Wood Parker IV, a 3rd generation Harkers Island, NC born boat builder. She is a cold-molded hull, built-in Newport, NC, and commissioned in 2017 at a cost of $ 1,250,000. The HOW BOUT IT is loaded bow to stern with the best of a cold molded custom sportfish and the ease of an outboard powered express. Her excellent performance is what you would expect from a warped plane designed Harkers Island built Custom Carolina. She rides soft and dry in a headsea and is innately stable in a beam sea. Her stability is heightened by her Seakeeper 5. The market aware seller has moved his personal items off the Cinco Boatworks and is ready to sell.
