Description
REEL ADDICTION is an exceptionally well-maintained Carolina Classic 28 whose open-checkbook ownership is reflected in her many upgrades and excellent condition. Built in Edenton, NC, Carolina Classics earned a loyal following among serious anglers for their rugged construction, smooth rides, and first-class fishability.
Powered by twin 375 hp Volvo Penta 8.1 Gi’s with 1,413/1,409 hrs, REEL ADDICTION cruises comfortably at 32 mph and tops out at 40 mph. A hydraulic hatch provides easy engine access. She is equipped with three 9" Simrad EVO multifunction displays, radar, GPS/chartplotter, autopilot, FLIR thermal imaging, and VHF radio.
Designed for the avid angler, her spacious 10'6" beam provides plenty of room for casting and landing “the big one”. Fishing equipment includes rocket launchers, rod holders, a transom livewell, in-deck fishboxes, a tackle center with sink, and fresh/saltwater washdowns. To compliment her fishing credentials, REEL ADDICTION’s interior offers well-planned accommodations, featuring a generous V-berth, compact Galley with sink, Dometic refrigerator and Avanti microwave, a stand-up head with shower, and teak-framed joinery.
Meticulously maintained, extensively equipped, and ready to fish, REEL ADDICTION is a proven offshore performer with the comfort to extend the adventure. A liferaft is included.

I'm Brandon Crigger a CPYB Yacht Broker specializing in the sale of pre-owned boats.
Brandon's deep connection with water is rooted in his beginnings, growing up in Michigan's Great Lakes Region, developing a passion for fishing and water sports at an early age. His career started in construction with a degree in Construction Management in Michigan, but his love for the ocean led him to Ft. Lauderdale in 2006, where he launched his career in the maritime industry. He earned his Master Scuba Diver status and a 100-ton USCG License, in Ft. Lauderdale, then set off on an 8-year global adventure aboard private Motor Yachts, clocking 150,000+ nautical miles, traversing Italy, Greece, Turkey, and the Bahamas and Caribbean.
He then headed to New England, where he met his wife Nicole and her dog Hani, and here he stayed! Before joining Merri-Mar, he spent 3 years as captain & crew with Coastal Discoveries in Newburyport. Brandon has been an integral member of the MMYB Team since 2016. His diverse and global maritime experience, combined with integrity and a genuine affinity for all things maritime, offers clients a deep understanding of what it takes to match their wish list with their dream boat. Brandon lives in Stratham NH with his wife Nicole, and two sons Chase and Cameron.
