What Is a Buddy Davis 48 Express?
Take the helm of the 48 Express and see for yourself how it out performs all other sport fishing boats on the water. The 48 Express punches through 6-foot head seas at 30 knots, its beautifully flared bow throws off every drop of water before it get to the windshield. Try that on one of the competitor’s boats and you’ll be under a waterfall. Also impressive, the 48 Express has unmatched visibility from the bridge deck at any speed. Born to fish the canyons, the 48 is as much at home cruising the islands with your family and friends.
