1971 Custom Tolley Craft 28' Sports Fisher

Step aboard and you’ll notice right away this isn’t a cookie‑cutter production boat. The classic Tolley Craft lines are still there, but the 2021 refit gives it a clean, modern working deck with high, confidence‑inspiring gunwales and wide side decks for safe movement when things get bumpy. The pilothouse keeps you dry and out of the sun, with good sightlines forward and aft for trolling spreads or working crab pots. Storage has been thoughtfully laid out, with room for ice, gear, and tackle without cluttering the deck. The three‑axle trailer opens up options: haul out for inexpensive storage, chase seasonal bites, or run it to a different harbor when you’re ready for new grounds.

This 28' walk‑around pilothouse really shines in local conditions where weather can turn quickly and runs to productive grounds aren’t always short. The enclosed helm gives protection from afternoon chop and cool morning runs, while the open, 360‑degree deck keeps anglers spread out and lines clear when the bite is on. Shallow draft lets you work closer to inshore structure, yet the hull is stout enough to push offshore on the right window. Efficient modern outboards, substantial fuel capacity, and a purpose‑built trailer make it practical to keep, maintain, and move between marinas or ramps across the region.
