Hooked Up Sportfishing ... Kona, Hawaii

Click to enlarge image.
Hooked Up is a 42' Uniflite LOA and 14' wide. Very large, clean, comfortable and safe. The back of the boat is open so you can see all the action with out leaving the cabin. We have two full size couches in the cabin. This is a great place to watch the lures in the shade. There is lots of room in the cabin, cockpit and the bridge. We can seat 6 people up stairs on the bridge with the captain.

Hooked Up has two 671N Detroit motors with a cruising speed of 20 knots. It has a private clean bathroom with a shower and a sink. A kitchenette with a microwave for your use in the cabin. We have a stereo/cd player in the cabin. The front V berth has a queen bed that sleeps 2 people and the bunk room will sleep 2. There is a couch and a bench seat that folds out to a bed in the cabin. Outside on the deck there is a fighting chair and big fish box with a cushion that is very comfortable. The bridge is well shaded and can seat up to 6 people, that is unheard of on most boats in Kona. We have all the safety gear that is required by the coast guard plus a automatically deployable class 2 epirb. The epirb is not required but I think it is a must for all boats that go off shore.
