1988 1988 43 Sport FishermanSold

Step into the cockpit and you’ll feel why these 43s earned their reputation offshore. The beamy hull gives you a rock‑solid platform, with wide side decks and secure bow access when you’re chasing a bite or setting the hook. The salon’s big windows flood the space with natural light, making it feel more like a waterfront condo than a classic battlewagon. Up on the bridge, the sightlines are outstanding—high, dry, and with room for a couple of crew to ride in comfort. Underway, the deep forefoot and generous flare keep things dry when the chop comes up, while the classic Egg Harbor joinery gives every overnight a warm, old‑school yacht feel.

This 43 Sport Fisherman really shines in waters where conditions can shift from calm to choppy in a single tide change. The hull’s seakeeping and wide beam inspire confidence on longer runs to the grounds, while the convertible layout lets you switch easily between hardcore fishing and relaxed coastal cruising. Shallow‑enough draft helps when you’re easing into tighter marinas or tucking behind islands, yet you still have the range and comfort for multi‑day trips. With a practical two‑stateroom layout and a generous cockpit, it suits both local day trips and extended adventures, making it a versatile choice for this region’s varied cruising and fishing grounds.
