Salon
The interior of a CABO speaks volumes about Cabo's commitment to excellence. Teak is used throughout the boat, and to ensure consistency and continuity, each individual element is milled in-house and stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment during the construction process. The woodwork is sanded, applied with multiple coats of marine varnish, and then buffed to a beautiful satin finish.

Galley

The galley is impressively equipped and beautiful and you'll be very impressed as this boat features wood cabinets in lieu of fiberglass, to provide that finished look.  Polished Corian countertops, spacious refrigerators and freezers, twin-burner cook tops, molded-in sinks, and microwave/convection ovens make cooking aboard a CABO enjoyable. The teak cabinetry with crosshatch ventilation is not only attractive, but also functional, allowing the constant air circulation that is necessary in a closed environment. Positive-latching cabinet hardware prevents doors from opening in rough seas, while hinges are designed to keep doors ajar until you close them.

Staterooms

Staterooms combine warm woodwork with designer fabrics, creating a soothing, restful retreat. Hanging lockers are cedar-lined, and additional storage beneath berths, under settees, and behind bulkheads is easily accessed.

Engine/Mechanical

The engine room provides a straightforward layout for unparalleled accessibility to the components. Most importantly, 360 degrees of working space surrounding each of the twin diesel engines means convenient maintenance or repair. All other systems electrical, plumbing, etc. are meticulously organized, easily accessible, and grouped by category whenever possible.

Because safety and reliability are key areas of concern for owners, our fuel lines are fire-retardant, aircraft-grade braided stainless steel and our wiring is marine-grade tinned copper to resist corrosion. To prevent chafing, all plumbing and wiring that run through bulkheads are protected with polymer or high-grade solid rubber grommets.

The engine room is completely finished in white gelcoat or linear polyurethane paint for simple cleanup. AC or DC lighting illuminates maintenance jobs, and on larger models, ventilation fans keep the space cool. Simply put, engine rooms as organized and detailed as these can only be the result of skilled designers who strive for nothing less than total customer satisfaction.

Deck/Hull Equipment

The hulls uses vacuum-bagging to assure hull strength, and bonds the running bottom and reinforced fibergalss interior module into one monolithic structure, ensuring greter resistance to torsion and flexure  You'll find precision throughout, for example, pay particular attention to the screw heads, they are flat-head, straight-slotted bolts offset for optimum holding and oriented to the same exact angle.  Cabo uses 316 stainless steel hardware that provides a higher nickel content resulting in superior corrosion resistance and longer lasting strength, reliability and good looks.

Cockpit

Careful thought goes into the placement of every element in the cockpit, especially essentials such as bait tanks, livewells, bait prep centers, and tackle storage. Insulated fish boxes are molded into the sole and equipped with in-line macerators, full-length piano hinges, and doors that seal tightly against rubber gaskets. If owners choose, the boxes can also be equipped with optional icemakers and/or refrigeration plates.

Storage throughout the cockpit is abundant, leaving the area clean and free of obstructions when reeling in a fish. Lures and rigging equipment are neatly organized in custom-built tackle centers. Larger models feature a bait prep sink, bait chests, and optional freezer for extended time offshore. To conserve space, livewells are located in the transom when possible. (These are also lighted for nighttime use.)

The outward-opening transom door and top gate operate independently, providing safety for the angler and crew while bringing large fish aboard. Padded bolsters ring the cockpit for extra comfort and security when using a stand-up rig. An aluminum reinforcing plate installed in the deck for mounting a fighting chair goes a long way to helping you haul in the tournament-winning fish.

Electrical

The electrical panel isn't something that most boaters get over-excited about unless they're aboard a CABO. Each of our electrical systems is built by master marine electricians who are at the top of thier game.

Closed, the electrical panel displays all switched electrical systems, with the components clearly labeled and backlit, allowing visual review and fingertip control. Opened, the clarity of the layout becomes even more evident; divided into AC and DC units, all wires are neatly bundled and labeled, and follow perfectly parallel lines.
