An optional bait freezer can be
installed under the seat, or you can
use the space as secure storage.
Want to haul in a big tuna or sword-
fi sh? A beefy tuna door built into the
starboard transom side lets you slide
one onto the cockpit sole. A pair of
44-gallon insole fi sh lockers accommo-
dates plenty of ice to chill the catch.
The cabin accommodations aboard
the Cabo 41 are resplendent, accessed
by a step-down companionway on the
starboard-side of the bridge deck. The
salon includes a convertible settee with
a dining table to starboard, galley to
port, and European-walnut cabinetry
throughout. Wood-cabinet rod stowage
resides adjacent to the settee.
In the port corner is a well-appointed
head featuring a fl ush toilet, shower,
vanity, sink, and integrated rod stow-
age inside the shower. In the bow, the
master stateroom incorporates wood
accents and cabinetry, plus an island
queen berth and hanging lockers.
Topside, on the bridge deck,
L-shaped seating lies to port. Thecaptain’s chair is set on the centerline,
with a companion chair to starboard. A
refrigerator on the starboard-side is a
great place to chill drinks for the crew.
There’s also tackle stowage in
the module that con-
tains the fridge.
A standard 11,000
Btu air-conditioning
unit cools the cabin
quarters, and an
optional 24,000 Btu
air- conditioning
system keeps the crew
cool on the bridge
deck. Both systems are
powered by an 11 kW
diesel generator.

protected by a wrap-
around tempered-glass
windshield with poly-
carbonate panelsclosing the gap between the top of the
windshield and the hardtop to enclose
the bridge deck on three sides.
The Cabo 41 features a bow rail,
which runs contrary to the rail-free
Carolina styling of most East Coast
sport-fi shers.
However, the Cabo line originated on
the West Coast (the fi rst models were
built in Adelanto, California), where
off shore anglers often walk forward to
cast to tailing marlin. And so the bow
rail serves as reminder of the brand’s
roots. The 41 also comes with an in-
tegrated bow pulpit with an anchor
roller. A vertical windlass hauls up the
ground tackle.
With a deep-V hull and 15 degrees
of deadrise at the transom, the Cabo
41 rides smoothly through waves and
chop, and handles confi dently while
cornering at speed.

If any boat can man-

anglers away from
center- consoles and
back into an inboard-
diesel- powered express,
the Cabo 41 is it.68 SALTWATERSPORTSMAN.COM SEPTEMBER 2019
