Hooked Up Sportfishing ... Kona, Hawaii
Click to enlarge image.
Hooked Up is a 42' Uniflite LOA. Very large, clean, comfortable and safe. It 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.
