New Model: Cabo 52 Flybridge

Cabo made a surprise showing at this years Miami boat show, presenting its 52 Flybridge new flagship for its range. Based on the hull design of the 52 Express, this new 52 Flybridge is designed for fishermen looking to have a full Sportfish Yacht platform good to travel farther, stay out longer and never let you down in the tournaments. It offers a spacious three cabin two head interior delivering luxury and comfort. For sure owners will have a hard choice between the spacious port side cabin or the fore VIP suite. The third cabin is a twin bunk affair. Hull shape is a warped vee with a deep entry, and sixteen degrees dead rise aft. Used on the 52 Express this is tipped as one of the best running boats in its class, so for sure the surfaces below are top notch, so is easy to see the 52 Flybridge as a first class runner in the 16 metre Sportfish Yacht flybridge class. With five engines choices available performance is impressive too, with the twin 1675hp Cats C18 larger of the options giving a 41 knots max, cruising of 38 knots at 2100 RPM, and an economic cruise of 27 knots which offers a range of 501 nautical miles.
