Overview

WESMAC 42

 Originally launched in 2003 as a cruiser, Ahi Ink went through refit at Wesmac in 2012 and consistent upgrades thru to 2024.  Fully equipped for offshore fishing, she's a comfortable, quiet boat with a 20+ knot cruise, over 600 gallons of fuel and the Wesmac 42's well deserved reputation for fuel economy and stability at sea.  Don't miss this opportunity to acquire an outstanding offshore machine in time for the 2024 Blue-fin tuna and canyon fishing season - at a fraction of the cost of a new one!
