1987 24’ Custom Center Console – Blue Water Builders
Custom Craftsmanship | True Yacht Finish | Well-Equipped Classic

This 1987 24’ Center Console, built by Earle and Chris Hall, formerly of Blue Water Yachts, is a rare opportunity to own a custom-built Carolina-Style classic with a yacht-level finish and exceptional construction. Featuring a fiberglass-over-wood hull with pronounced flare, this vessel blends traditional boatbuilding with thoughtful upgrades and premium materials customarily seen on larger sport-fishers. Professionally maintained by our yacht yard since it was repowered in 2005, the boat has been well cared for and thoughtfully outfitted throughout its life. The pricing for the boat includes the trailer and complete mooring canvas

While some cosmetic repairs to the deck are now needed, the vessel remains structurally sound and is an excellent candidate for restoration or continued light use. It’s a solid platform for an owner who appreciates custom craftsmanship and wants to bring a true classic to its full potential. The photos shown are from when the woodwork was redone 10 years ago. This boat is currently stored in our yard in Gloucester under shrink wrap. Please call for an appointment to view the boat.
