2001 Rampage 30 ExpressSold

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully this 30-footer is laid out for long days on the water. Wide side decks, tall bow rail, and sturdy handholds make it easy to work the perimeter in a sloppy swell. The cockpit depth gives you that secure “in” the boat feeling when you’re leaning on a rod or gaffing a fish, and the transom door makes bringing big fish or a crab pot aboard far less dramatic. Below, the generous headroom and natural light keep the cabin from feeling like a cave, and the galley is positioned so you can grab coffee or a hot meal without losing touch with what’s happening in the cockpit.

This 30 Express really shines in waters where the weather can turn quickly and runs to the grounds are measured in hours, not minutes. The modified-vee hull with a sharp entry softens the ride when the afternoon chop stacks up, while the twin diesels give you the confident tracking and torque you want around bars, rips, and strong currents. The custom pilothouse transforms the boat into an all-season platform; you can troll in sideways rain and still stay dry, warm, and alert. Add in the generous fuel capacity and serious fish storage, and you’ve got a capable, efficient workhorse for extended runs to offshore banks or remote inshore hotspots.
