Bred
for the unforgiving and unpredictable waters of the world's
most treacherous oceans, the all new Buddy Davis 58 Sportfisherman
stands out in a market full of cookie cutter sportfishing
boats, better suited for dockside entertaining than for serious
fishing or cruising. Smooth. Dry. Sure-footed. Agile. Beautiful
and, above all, safe. Add to this impressive list of credentials
one of the strongest resale values in the industry, and the
Buddy Davis 58 towers above the competition. Put the throttles to
the pins. Throaty diesels roar as the 58 pops out of the hole
onto plane, reaching a top speed of nearly 40- knots. The
58's proven hull and bulletproof construction ensure she can
maintain these speeds even when the waters turn foul and all
the lessser boats run for shelter. In collaboration with Buddy
Davis, noted naval architect Donald L. Blount designed a hull
with a deep entry forward, convex surfaces aft, tapering back
to a 15 degree deadrise aft. Her entry is soft and easy. Pounding,
even in large seas is non-existent. And of course her dry
ride is legendary. Buddy Davis' investment in new tooling and advanced
technology allows Buddy Davis Boatworks to build far lighter boats
than similar-sized convertibles, providing economical operation
and the ability to run the engines under less load. It's no
wonder Buddy Davis is the choice among serious anglers and cruisers
from the waters of Puerto Rico, Tahiti, Bermuda and Mexico,
to the shores of North Carolina. Her angling heritage is also
evident in the large cockpit, offering room for the mate and
anglers to fight big, aggressive trophy-size fish. Standard
features include an oversized insulated baitwell with seawater
circulation, a huge underdeck fish box and a transom fish
box, a top-loading freezer with removable bait tray, tackle
storage, and fresh and salt water washdowns.
The expertly designed flying bridge is a fine example of form
and function. The 360-degree line of sight allows the helmsman
to search the waters ahead and monitor the action in the cockpit.
The single lever controls, flanking the trademark Buddy Davis teak
helm bubble, make backing down easy. The electrically activated
tournament console will securely house all of the latest electronics.
A drink box and settee with rod stowage are to starboard.
An L-shape settee with cavernous stowage is forward. Above
all, the Buddy Davis 58 just looks right. The dramatic sheer flows
from the tumblehome, carrying the eye in fluid motion to her
distinctive flared bow. Her sweet tumblehome and sculpted
air vents are part of the Buddy Davis signature, recognized by sportfishing
aficionados the world over. Her teak toerail and covering
boards distinguish her from the everyday,
all-fiberglass production boats. The team
of craftsmen know what a proper sportfishing yacht should
look like, and the Buddy Davis 58 sets a new standard of aesthetic
excellence.
While
reviewing the competition, try to find a sportfishing yacht
that not only has the superior ride and construction of a
Buddy Davis, but the shallow draft afforded by propeller tunnels.
By reducing the angle of the shafts, Buddy Davis has achieved a
4-foot draft on the Buddy Davis 58. Imagine all the new places you
could go if your yacht's draft was only four feet. For the
real fishing enthusiasts, take the 58 off the beaten track,
launch your skiff from the spacious foredeck and explore the
flats while your mothership awaits and the competition remains
tied in the marina
burdened by five-foot plus drafts. And the best part of this
shallow draft is its legendary ability to catch fish. The
wake at trolling speeds is insignificant, with very little
turbulence. Backing down and turning on a dime is all Buddy Davis.
Shallow draft and performance. Sounds like the
best of both worlds.
