| 2008 45 Cabo Express Los Suenos Edition
Overview
This 2008 45 CABO Express LOS SUENOS EDITION stands out from the others in the market
due to its open air helm deck. If you like feeling close to the elements, having the warm tropical
wind surround you and taking in the fresh smell of the ocean, this is the boat for you. Instead
of the traditional windshield, there is a teak inlay where it would connect with the deck. No need
to worry if it gets too hot or a storm sneaks up on you though, there is a full helm deck isenglass
enclosure and A/C unit that will keep you cool. This also increases visibility and makes for a
cleaner custom boat look and feel.
The CABO 45 Express is the epitome of what it is to be CABO: quality, performance, attention
to detail, and an unparalleled commitment to customer satisfaction. Built in the desert of Southern
California, the CABO 45 has raised the stakes for the express sportfisher class and defined
itself as the benchmark by which all other boats in the class are measured.
Because of its added size and its luxurious interior accommodations, it would be easy to forget
that the CABO 45 Express is a serious sportfisher. You won't believe what the 45 Express is
capable of when chasing down a fish. The 45 turns on a dime, backs down like no other and
even in the roughest of seas, stays right where you put her. And, because of her wide beam,
modified-V bottom and low center of gravity, the CABO is a fighting platform with unequaledstability in all sea conditions.
CABO's mission statement is:
"To Build the Best Sport Fishing Boats Money Can Buy"
This statement alone speaks volumes for the CABO name and gives insight into the mind of
the accalimed CABO boat builders.
When you are out in a CABO, you are truly out in the Best.
Cockpit
CABO has designed the 45 Express to offer unmatched luxury as an express cruiser, but the
big CABO doesn't stop there. The heart of this yacht is still very much that of a dedicated
sportfisher. The 45 Express comes standard with every fishing amenity even the most demanding
angler could want. The 15'8" beam offers almost 100 square feet of fish fighting room. As with
all of the CABO sportfishers, the 45's foredeck is covered in a diamond pattern nonskid surface
imported from England, even under the wettest conditions, you'll be able to cast from the pulpit
with confidence and security. A large in-transom livewell has a large clear Lucite window that
allows you to easily check on the condition and supply of live bait, and your thighs will appreciate
the transom's heavily padded leading edge. Tremendous fish boxes are built into the cockpit
sole both to port and starboard which are equipped with gas shock controlled hatches and
CABO's famous airtight seals.
Helm Deck
The helm on the CABO 45 Express reflects its larger size with more room for both pilot and
passengers. The 45's bridge deck is simply huge, it can easily accommodate a cruising party
of 15 to 20. This CABO is the LOS SUENOS special edition and was built without a windshield
to allow the boaters to feel the tropical breeze while cruising. The helm has a full isenglass
enclosure and 30,000 BTU A/C system to keep you cool as well.. The custom designed fiberglass
console has more than enough room to flush mount all of your electronics.
Accommodations
Five star best describes the accommodations aboard the CABO 45 Express. Everywhere you
turn the flawless book-matched woods and blemish free finishes gleam in the custom designed
halogen lighting. Standard Ultraleather upholstery and six speaker sound system from Bose
take the CABO 45 Express well beyond the spartan fishing machine category.
A fore and aft queen size berth in the forward cabin allows plenty of room on each side to make
up the berth, as well as to access the signature CABO rod storage cabinetry with cross hatch
ventilation panels. The galley and full head with shower feature Corian countertops with custom
sea-rails, and Moen fixtures. Children or extra guests will appreciate the comfortable extra large
settee on the salon's port side. To keep your Express's interior in ship shape, there is even a
built in vacuum system.
Iron Trader features many upgrades as she was custom built for a experienced yachtsman.
Several of the interior upgrades are a Pull out Double Hide a bed beneath the aft Sette with
Ultra Nylon fabrics.
Teak salon sole in lieu of carpet is a classy yet smart upgrade. The salon is a satin finish floor
with a throw carpet custom cut to protect from heavy traffic.
Hull
CABO Yachts has made an unparalleled reputation for itself in the sportfishing community by
combining ground breaking innovative design with a near fanatical commitment to quality. The
CABO 45 Express is the next step forward for CABO; its larger size and luxurious
accommodations are designed to provide sportfishermen who recognize the benefits of the
CABO name with the world class sportfisher they deserve.
The design of the Cabo 45 is truly bulletproof. From the fiberglassed and bronze throughbolted
hull to deck joint to the custom all fiberglass construction of the fuel tanks, the CABO is designed
to easily outlast even the harshest of conditions and cruise away unscathed.
The CABO's performance at sea has been described as smooth and predictable, it tracks
perfectly in seas that send many of its competitors heading for shore. With a maximum cruising
range of well over 300 statute miles, top speed of 36.6 mph, and a cruising speed of nearly 30
mph, it's clear that size is in no way a compromise for performance. This seaworthiness is
outshined only by the CABO 45 Express's close quarters handling. Superb visibility astern and
single lever electronic controls insure that maneuvering the 45 Express into its slip is effortless
