2000 Buddy Davis 78 Enclosed Bridge “Capt. Morgan”
Twin MTU 16V2000 M90 diesel engines producing 1,800 HP each
Twin 32kW Northern Lights generators
This 78’ Buddy Davis Enclosed Bridge is a great opportunity to own a BIG custom sportfish that has been heavily updated and is standing tall. She offers a huge fishing and travel platform along with exceptional value.
“Capt. Morgan” was originally built for a discerning sportfisherman with a focus on extended cruising. Back in 2000, before many custom and production builders were building sportfishing boats of this size, “Capt. Morgan” was a special project and truly a sight to behold.
She features 4 staterooms and 5 heads, comfortably accommodating up to 8 guests aboard, along with separate crew accommodations. With 2,100 gallons of fuel, she offers an impressive cruising range of approximately 900 nautical miles. Features such as stabilizers, a full-width staircase to the bridge, and a day head accessible directly from the cockpit help set this vessel apart from other sportfish boats in her class.
Over $600,000 has been invested into the vessel over the past 4 years, including new electronics, a full paint job, and numerous additional upgrades. She is in excellent condition and ready for her next adventure.
