The Southport Express is the Boat The Whole Family Can Love.

Southport Boat is a head-turner in Mint Condition - Ready for FUN! 

The Southport boat has always been stored inside a temperature-controlled storage building or covered lift.

Full canvas coverage over the rear platform to help keep you cool from the hot summer sun and to protect you while fishing, relaxing or entertaining

Added amenities for the owner whose focus is on fun and not on boat maintenance - enjoy a day out fishing, family cruising, and entertainment. The Southport 28 EX  remains true to the fishing DNA heritage of Southport, and she delivers the exceptionally dry, safe, and economic performance of much larger cruisers. 

Southport boat has been kept in pristine condition with an open wallet
Super comfortable for the ENTIRE FAMILY = “Mutual Fun”

This could very well be the Best example of an Excellent condition, Deep Water Fishing Southport 28' Express with two Yamaha 250 hp outboards to be found anywhere on the East Coast.

Everything has been redone on this boat this summer [$65,000 spent at Zimmerman Marine]; Ready for a new owner to love just as much as we have! I decided to update everything I thought I would want/need for our long-awaited Bahama trip.

The boat was purchased from my good friend, the original owner, last spring and “Dallas-ized” by me, as I do with everything I own. I love making things perfect for me, everything updated to the latest and greatest, and a place for everything. I had a blast doing this to such a great boat. A fun boat to drive and ride in.

My wife and I decided to purchase a larger boat and have invited the KIDS and Grandbabies to come with us. So we are moving in another direction, and we are selling the Southport boat. Cruising for months is now in our future.

The boat has been updated so you can go on overnight trips without running a generator and have all the comfort of home. This makes boating and your next deep-water fishing adventure much more fun for everyone.

We have enjoyed the Southport boat and look forward to meeting the new owners so they can also experience "Mutual Fun with all their friends and family."

Buy the boat that is water-ready with the upgrades everyone wants without any of the frustrations or expenses of doing it yourself.

“Ready for your next deep water fishing adventure” or "overnight trips for one night up to several weeks", This Boat Has It ALL!
