Description
"Paladin" is a very well-kept 1988 North Coast 24' express sportfish powered by twin 250hp Cummins Diesels with less than 1,000 hours. (The engines were installed in 2002). What a rare find!! She is very offshore capable with her 54-degree entry deadrise that tapers out to 23 degrees at the transom- she slices through the chop with ease, and she sips fuel. On a typical 14-hour trip to the Norfolk Canyon and back, she burns only about 75 gallons running and trolling for the day. She cruises easily at 25 knots (2400 RPMs) and tops out at about 32 knots (3100 RPMs). Very impressive! Lift kept for much of her life, this boat is in terrific condition.
In 2002, the bot underwent a renovation that included:
-Twin Cummins 4B-T250A engines with VDO gages
-ZF Gears
-New 165-gallon heavy duty aluminum fuel tank wrapped in fiberglass
-Fiberglass exhaust system
-Trolling valves installed
-Cabin heater for winter fishing
-Nibral 4-blade propellers
-Walker Airseps
-Stainless steel fuel lines
-Oil pump-out system
Other notable features include:
-Tuna tower with controls and electronics
-Lee 18' outriggers
-Removable (portable) 32-gallon live bait well with plumbing
-Furuno Navnet chart plotter/fish finder both stations
-Furuno Radar lower station (open array)
-Simrad Autopilot lower station (AP50)
-ICOM VHF
-Two (2) Standard Horizon VHFs
-Ritchie compass
-Remote spotlight
-Cockpit spreader lights
-Full helm enclosure in excellent condition
-Seven (7) flush mounted rod holders in the gunnels
-Eighteen (18) rocket launchers on tower legs and tower
-Electric flush head system
-Helm and companion seats with bench seating aft
-Bench-style seating in tower
-Bennett trim tabs
-Raw water washdown in cockpit
-Fish box
-V-berth forward
-Overhead hatch in cabin
-Lockable cabin door
-Windshield wipers port and starboard
-Battery Charger
-Cabin heater that runs off the starboard engine heat exchanger. Produces enough heat within the helm deck enclosure to allow for comfortable winter fishing!
All in all, a great fishing platform as well as a comfortable day-boat. Easy to see at Long Bay Point Marina in Virginia Beach, VA. 15 minutes from Norfolk International.
