Info

big blue – rybovich is hull number 67, and the last plank on frame boat built by tommy rybovich in 1967. she is 45 feet in length and was originally commissioned as the ole. boasting unmistakeable lines, big blue’s pedigree remains unparalleled. her heritage alone, speaks volumes but her current turn-key go anywhere condition makes her even more special. the rybovich family builds boats with the intent that they are meant to do much more than sit at the dock. big blue continues to live up to her those intentions. with that said, she is an absolute head turner whether she is tied to the dock or underway. she has been well cared for by knowledgable owners with an open check book one the years and it?s easy to see when you look at her. she underwent a no expense spared refit in 2014 that included a pair of qsb cummins 550’s, zf gears, and all new running gear. most recently, she underwent another cosmetic refit in 2022 which included new awlgrip throughout, nonskid, new teak covering boards, and teak cockpit sole. as should be expected, she is easily managed thanks to her impeccable visibility and maneuverability. whether the goal is to ply the cobalt blue waters of the gulf stream, or simply pull-up to a restaurant with the family, big blue is up to the task. while she is yacht quality, she was designed to be a fish boat first. while trolling, big blue pulls an extremely clean wake and her vernatone muffled exhausts exit the transom above the waterline. her glass over mahogany hull dampens unwanted sounds from penetrating from the vessel into the water. her wheels have been tuned and her cutlass bearings replaced making her a stealthy weapon offshore. it?s not uncommon to see billfish just a few feet from her transom. at rest, she sits like a duck in the water – stable and sturdy. she radiates class and elegance while underway. her 550 hp cummins diesels emit a gentle rumble while she idles down the icw and her common rail engines burn clean and completely smoke free all the while providing an extremely quiet cockpit. those characteristics coupled with her open layout from the cockpit into the saloon provide an inviting environment for even the most discerning guests. she’s the talk of the dock everywhere she goes. not just because of her lineage, but because she’s had the upgrades that most boat owner dreams of doing yet rarely have the time to complete. her 2014 refit was well thought out and included a cummins repower, a refinished mahogany interior with bright white soft goods that is absolutely gorgeous, 2 massive in-deck live wells, cockpit freezers, fishboxes, and more. at cruise, her sweet spot is 23 knots where she quietly loafs along burning right at 16-17 gallons per hour thanks to her set of cummins qsb 550 common rail diesels.
