A unique classic trunk cabin sportfish convertible which has only had three owners since new and always lived in the Treasure Coast of FL area. Built by Whiticar Boatworks and completed at the beginning of 1983, this is Hull #55. She got a new pair of Cummins 6BT 5.9 liter diesels 210 hp each in 1990, which still have under 690 original hours. In 2005 she had a full paint job. The 2nd owner bought the boat in 2006 and named her EAGLES NEST. He made many general improvements through the builder until health challenged his abilities to continue with it, which is when it sold to the current owner in September of 2024. The current owner has restored the vessel thoughtfully with focus on keeping its original character. The boat came out of a boatyard visit in June of 2025 with new antifouling and several other updates. Most photos on this spec are recently taken, and the boat can be easily seen at her present berth on Hutchinson Island, FL.




EAGLES NEST is a rare offering and is in very good condition. If you are looking for a classic one-of-a-kind vessel, this is one worth considering.
