This custom 40' Carolina Express represents the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that Highground Boatworks has become known for. From the lightweight Tri Cell interior finished with American walnut veneers and solid teak accents to the meticulously engineered mechanical and electrical systems, every aspect of this vessel was designed and built with quality, performance, and serviceability in mind. No expense was spared during construction, with premium components utilized throughout, including Gemlux hardware, 316-grade stainless hinges, stainless gas shocks, and solid stainless rub rails. All systems were thoughtfully installed and labeled for ease of maintenance, while accessibility was prioritized throughout the build. Below deck, comfortable accommodations and thoughtfully integrated onboard systems provide the ability to enjoy an overnight getaway or spend several days aboard in comfort, making this vessel equally suited for extended cruising and serious fishing pursuits. Combining custom Carolina styling, superior fit and finish, and a level of construction rarely found in today's market, this 40' Carolina Express is a standout example of a truly custom-built sportfishing platform.
