~ Elected Boating Magazine's 1997 Boat of the Year, the CABO 45 Express is the epitome of what it is to be CABO: quality, performance, attention to detail, and an unparalleled commitment to customer satisfaction. Built in the desert of Southern California, the CABO 45 has raised the stakes for the express sportfisher class and defined itself as the benchmark by which all other boats in the class are measured.
Designer and builder Henry Mohrschladt summed up the concept behind the CABO 45 Express, "More amenities, more room for bait, fish, live bait and rod storage, but with the quality of our smaller boats. That is what our customers told us they wanted." Ask and ye shall receive, the CABO 45 Express is so well executed that its hard to see how anyone could not want to get their hands on this boat.
The CABO 45 Express was introduced to fulfill the needs of CABO owners desiring a larger replacement for their smaller CABO's, in the process of filling this niche, the 45 has effectively established the definition for the large express class.
