If you're looking for a rugged inboard - powered fishing machine that works equally well as a comfortable and stable family cruiser, this Pro-Line 33 Express is the boat for you. Pro-Line deservedly developed a reputation for affordable, budget-friendly boats and though this one was originally sold as its upmarket boat, at the current price its a great value.

Heavily built on a modified-V hull with a solid fiberglass bottom, the 33 is obviously well equipped for fishing, although her roomy helm deck and comfortable interior work well for cruising. An impressive list of standard amenities included transom and in-deck fish boxes (insulated), 35-gallon livewell, bait prep center, fresh/raw washdowns, gunnel rod holders, cockpit rod storage racks, trim tabs, molded bow pulpit, cockpit bolsters, and transom door. 

Her cruising amenities are equally impressive: Great visibility at the helm and comfortable seating for 4 and a cockpit roomy enough for a dinner party. Below deck, the interior of the 33 Express is arranged with a convertible dinette/V-berth forward, a full galley and enclosed head to port, and a cleverly shaped pedestal dining table lowers to create a huge berth. Like most express boats, the helm deck lifts hydraulically for access to the engines. Twin Merc 8.1 Horizon engines deliver plenty of horsepower and offer cruising speeds in the high 20s.
