1997 42' Strike Express
This 1997 42' Strike Express is a rare find—a battle-ready sportfishing machine that has been meticulously rebuilt from the hull up.

- New Electronics: Brand new Garmin suite (2022) featuring a Garmin GPSMAP 7616 and a Garmin GPSMAP 7612 for state-of-the-art navigation and fish-finding.
- Modern Controls: Brand-new ZF Marine electronic controls (2022) featuring precision technology for seamless shifting and synchronization.
- Full Paint Job: Complete professional paint job (2022) on both the hull and topsides, leaving the vessel with a brilliant, like-new finish.
- Interior Overhaul: New interior lighting and a brand-new, high-capacity air conditioning system installed in 2022.
