Red Tail is a brand new 2010 28 foot twin inboard Diesel built to exacting custom specifications for Captain Fred by Carolina Classic Boats of Edenton, North Carolina, a family run company with a 25 year history of building high quality boats. She is a very heavily built boat of proven design that can take on the most challenging sea conditions. At 15,000 pounds, she is heavier than many bigger boats.  The Carolina Classic 28 is one of the most highly regarded and sought after offshore boats ever built, legendary for excellent ride quality in tough conditions. She is powered by ultramodern electronically controlled common rail Volvo 300hp Diesel engines that have underwater exhausts for a quieter, smokeless ride. No Diesel smell! The seating arrangements are most comfortable for four passengers. The ideal group is two or three people fishing and one or two companions. Red Tail is by far the fastest offshore charter boat on the Island, capable of cruising at 29 kts (34mph) when sea conditions permit to get us out to the fish quickly and give you the most time fishing. She carries 256 gallons of fuel for a cruising range of over 300 miles making it possible to run all the way to the Atlantic Canyons with fuel to spare. There is a fully private marine head (that's a bathroom with toilet for you landlubbers) with hot and cold running water in the cabin down below and a galley with a refrigerator for keeping food fresh.  |
