Pole Position Boat | 28' Carolina Classic 2005

This 2005 Carolina Classic 28 is a well-equipped offshore express that has benefited from extensive upgrades throughout 2025 and 2026. Powered by twin Volvo D4 260 HP straight-shaft inboards with approximately 1,400 original hours, she offers an economical 24-knot cruise at approximately 18 GPH. The engines are equipped with fresh-water flush hoses and are flushed after each run, and the boat is kept in fresh water. A reverse oil-change pump system makes routine maintenance simple, while a 5kW Westerbeke generator with approximately 600 hours provides dependable power away from the dock.

A major highlight is the electronics package, which has been substantially updated. The helm features a 2026 Garmin 1643xsv MFD, 2025 Garmin 8610xsv, Garmin 943xsv, 2026 Garmin GMR Fantom 24x radar, dual Garmin GT56UHD side-scan transducers, an Airmar 1kW 50/200 kHz transducer, Garmin TR-1 autopilot with remote, and VHF communications. Additional upgrades include a 2025 SIONYX night-vision camera, 2026 SiriusXM satellite weather/fish mapping, 2026 Starlink Offshore Performance antenna, Fusion Bluetooth stereo, and a new Hodges Marine radar tower.

Built with Carolina Classic’s proven 24-degree deadrise hull, this 28 is set up with serious offshore fishing in mind. The cockpit features two large 50-gallon flush-deck fish boxes with dual Whale macerator pumps, fresh and raw-water washdowns, wide gunwales with coaming pads, and an impressive 21 rod holders throughout the boat. The tower includes a buggy top, bench seat and folding footrest, while a pair of Lee 22’ single-spreader outriggers and a Lee 12’ center rigger complete the trolling setup. A removable 2026 Birdsall four-rod rocket launcher with rigging shelf adds even more versatility.

The helm and cabin have also received thoughtful updates, including 2026 reclining helm chairs and a 2025 Eisenglass enclosure. Below deck, the air-conditioned and heated cabin includes a refrigerator, microwave, removable V-berth table, generous storage, six overhead rod holders, freshwater sink with hot water, and a separate enclosed head with VacuFlush toilet, hot/cold sink and shower.

Other recent equipment includes a 2025 Lewmar Pro-Fish 1000 windlass with Danforth anchor and approximately 300’ of rode, 2024 ProNautic three-bank battery charger, and updated house and starting batteries.

With a 28’4” LOA, 10’5” beam, 220-gallon fuel capacity and 30-gallon freshwater capacity, this Carolina Classic offers the combination of a proven offshore hull, economical diesel power, serious fishing capability and a long list of recent upgrades.
