~40 Express
How do you improve the CABO express? Itâs simple. Take
all of the best attributes in our express fleet and combine
them into one model. Thatâs what weâve done with the
CABO 40 Express (EX) / Hardtop Express (HTX). Our very
successful 40 platform is the foundation for this exciting model.
Optional pod drives provide the efficiency and maneuverability that make the 40 EX / HTX one of the most quick and nimble express boats on the market; and its blue-water hull design provides the strength and stability you expect from CABO.
The capstone of the Hardtop Express model is the inclusion
of an integrated hardtop. This feature has proven wildly popular with serious anglers. Gone is the need for an aftermarket hardtop, vinyl windows, zippers and flaps. The integrated hardtop provides protection, visibility and comfort on the helm deck so you can spend your days fighting fish, not the elements.
