53' Vic Franck 1969 Honey

Built in Freemont, Washington by the famous Vic Franck Shipyard, and in conjunction with designer Lynn Senour (known for boats like Delta Charter boats, Grandy, Nordic Tugs and American Tug), the Marlineer Sportfish stands out above all other Senours designs. Birthed at a time where port services were limited, one would have to be self sufficient for long periods of time at sea. This Marlineer 'Honey' has stood up to the challenge. With her oversized deep freezer storage and near 17ft beam making her a solid ride in rough seas offshore, she is made for comfort with all the amenities for entertaining, cruising the high seas and fishing hard.
