Overview
About this vessel
Widely regarded as the ultimate "Pocket Battlewagon," the Carolina Classic 25 Express is a heavy-duty, offshore-ready fishing machine built to handle conditions that keep other 25-footers tied to the dock.
Featuring a massive 24° deep-V hull and signature Carolina bow flare, this vessel delivers an exceptionally soft, dry ride in heavy chop. By positioning the 315 hp Yanmar 6LPA diesel engine amidships and pairing it with a jackshaft system, the boat achieves a low center of gravity and unmatched stability while keeping the 38-square-foot cockpit completely flush and unobstructed.
Equipped with a custom Marlin Tower with full dual controls, this 25 offers a bird's-eye sightline for spotting weed lines, working birds, fish, and debris that you simply can't get from the main helm. Whether you are running offshore to the canyon or trailering to new coastal waters, this tower-equipped diesel classic combines tournament-level fishability with legendary build quality and impressive fuel economy.
