Vessel Walkthrough
The cockpit of the 2008 38 Cabo Miss Shell is all business. Her wide beam gives anglers plenty of room to move around. The centerpiece of the cockpit is the 8 rod teak rocket launcher. She has 2 in-deck insulated, macerated fish boxes with one side having a chiller plate. A deep bait freezer, tackle storage and washdown sink are additional features. On the transom there is a live well and a liftgate with oversized fish door.
The entire helm deck comes up for easy access into the engine room. She is powered by twin C-12 CATS with 715 hp each. The engines have always had the finest care with all maintenance up to date.
Back up on the climate-controlled helm deck, "Miss Shell" has a large tackle center to stbd and a bench/lounge seat to port. Just forward, there is a double wide STIDD companion seat to port and a match helm seat to stbd. All her electronics were upgraded to the latest SIMRAD EVO technology with HALO radar. Dual multi-function displays give you everything you need, to find the fish and stay safe.
Down below, the layout of the 38 Cabo is very unique and versatile. In the back port corner is the full head. Also to port is the galley. The galley has everything a shipboard gourmet would require. Fridge, freezer, electric cooktop, deep sink, storage, solid surface Corian countertops, and microwave oven. To starboard there is dinette seating and a high gloss teak table. The back rest of the seating also ingeniously flips up and secures to the ceiling for kid size bunk beds.
The private stateroom is forward with a multi berth arrangement. There is a double size berth to port, comfortable for a couple and above it on both sides are bunks for adults or children. Elevated rod storage cabinets grace both outboard sides with plenty of room for owner’s belongings in a cedar lined hanging locker and drawers.
