The 45 Carolinian hull has the look worthy of her name with Carolina flare, tumblehome, and a soft broken sheer.   The hull was vacuum infused with vinylester resin and composite core, making her incredibly strong, and the deck and additional fiberglass components were glassed together in line with Albemarle’s signature one-piece construction.  She boasts a unique layout that combines hardcore fishing features, abundant seating, and a surprisingly spacious and well-appointed interior for overnighting and extended cruising.  Triple 600 HP Mercury power provides fast cruising speeds, maneuverability, and shallow draft, while freeing up space in the hull to accommodate mechanical equipment and a truly livable interior.

The interior is as beautiful as it functional with black walnut cabinetry, solid surface countertops, Ultraleather fabrics, and tracked Majilite headliner and wall panels.  The forward dinette converts to a double bunk, and filler cushions transform the U-shaped aft lounge into a queen berth.  The port side galley features refrigerator and freezer drawers, recessed single burner stove top, microwave and stainless steel sink.  An enclosed shower stall, sink, and marine head round out the list of necessities for comfortable overnights aboard.

 

Hull one features a highly customized Palm Beach Towers half tower, and highlights include a rod storage box, recessed electric teaser reels, molded light bar, and Gem Lux Pro Carbon outriggers.  The helm deck is weather protected by a four-sided acrylic and polycarbonate enclosure, and a dedicated HVAC system maintains a comfortable temperature in this space.  There is comfortable seating for six on the helm deck with a Release Marine Trillion teak triple ladderback bench at the helm and a bench seat forward of the console.   A faux teak helm pod sets off the helm console and is complimented by a pair of 24” Garmin displays in the dash. 

The ninety-eight square foot cockpit is designed for pelagic battle and is well equipped.  There is a standard transom livewell, pair of massive in-deck fish boxes, and starboard side tuna door.  The step up on the forward end houses insulated boxes, which are set up as an Eskimo ice machine dump and bait freezer on the first 45.  The mezzanine seating provides a great place to watch baits, and it hinges open to provide access to the mechanical space. This creates great service access for the 13.5 KW Onan genset, Seakeeper 6, Spot Zero double pass water maker, and other onboard equipment.
