2002 Custom Carolina 53 Convertible Capps Boatworks
Owner says "sell this boat!" This Capps 53 Custom Sportfishing is priced right. Powered by CAT 3406 diesels at 800hp she's got a smooth, efficient 25 knot cruise at 1850rpms and tops out over 30 knots on the pins. Nicely equipped inside with two staterooms, 2 heads and a roomy, comfortable salon. Centerline queen forward with master head and separate shower and guest stateroom with over-under bunks on the port side with the day head to starboard with separate shower and separate washer-dryer. Teak and holly flooring in the galley and both heads, corian countertops and trim and nicely varnished cabinetry throughout. The present owner has done a nice job with maintenance and upgrades. She may be the biggest 53 Custom Carolina boat you ever step aboard. She could use a bottom job to get the years of bottom paint off and would benefit greatly with hull paint job as the original blue is losing its grip on the primer.

Capps Boatworks
Capps Boatworks builds custom sportfishing boats in Virginia Beach, VA. Per the Capps Boatworks website: Nelva Capps grew up on the coast of North Carolina and has been around boats and boat building for as long as he can remember. He played around the keels of the boats his grandfather built in his backyard. Nelva worked as a mate when he was only 12 and he built his first boat in 1982 at the age of 27 for the shallow but choppy Carolina sounds. He gave the 21-foot craft a flat stern with a shallow draft but a sharp wave-eating bow with a massive Carolina flare to keep the spray at bay. Today, he builds boats between 25 and 60 feet in Virginia Beach. For more, please see the Capps Boatworks website.
Accommodations
As you step aboard from the oversize cockpit the galley is forward and to port, an l-shaped sofa with storage to port and aft, and varnished cabinetry to starboard with storage and the electric panel. Large windows with blinds provide plenty of light. Forward and down to port is the oversized guest stateroom with over/under bunks and to starboard the guest head with separate shower and separate washer and dryer. Forward is the centerline island queen with master head to port with separate shower. She also features teak and holly soles in both heads and the galley.
