New Model: Cabo 36 Express

Cabo's 36 Express has been a waited new model from this US California Adelante builder, who with it will replace the 35 Express after over a decade of production. New 36 Express takes elements from its replacement but also from the bigger 38 Express. The lower cabin space is similar to the bigger Cabo 38 missing only the privacy a separation door offers. Below over night accommodation is for five finding sleeping space for three in the diagonal arranged fore part of the cabin and another two in the convertible l-shaped saloon which becomes a double berth. Further comfort below comes from the spacious l-shaped galley, and head to port midships. The hull shape is Cabo modified vee with a medium vee 17.5 degrees deadrise aft similar to the 35 Express. For power one finds seven options from twin Cummins, Cats and Yanmar engines starting from the smaller standard QSB5.9 at 425hp up to C9 Acert 575hp. Propulsion is still the tried and tested traditional in line shaft drive, with Cabo surprising a few peers for not jumping on the pod band wagon for this new model. Another miss I note for this new model is for not offering an enclosed fore cabin, with the closer competitors all having a separate forward master stateroom with a door. Apart all this the Cabo 36 Express does what it is designed to do best having a cockpit and aft deck all planned for the real sport fisher with incredible spaces also thanks to the wide beam.
