New Launch: Michael Rybovich 42 Sportfisherman Hull #10

Michael Rybovich have recently launched the 42 Sportfisherman, its latest tenth hull.  This latest tenth Michael Rybovich hull, brings the news for the revered Palm Beach located custom sportfish boat and yacht builder, for being its first IPS powered boat.  With the Volvo IPS propulsion arriving in 2005, it took over twenty years for Rybovich to build an IPS boat, although fair to say, as each Rybovich is made to order, this has as much to do about its customer base rather then the custom builder alone.  Custom boats are a thing of experienced owners, and a Rybovich might be two times of that.  This tenth hull is also the smallest of Michael Rybovich era which started in 2014 with the Hull #1 64 Walkaround.  Michael Rybovich 42 Sportfisherman Hull #10, comes as a game boat type sportfish cruiser, with not much amenities in the cabin, albeit a three berths forward cabin, spacious head with separate shower stall to port side, and galley on the lower deck.  Albeit unusual nowadays, game boats were quite a thing for Rybovich and the Florida based custom builders up until the seventies, as convertible more cabin featured sportfish started to take over.  Even the first Rybovich the 34 Hull #1 from 1947, the boat which is the basis of the modern sportfish cruiser and yacht was that bit a game boat type sportfish.
