comfort when fighting a large fish.
Margarita V is our latest edition... a

Volvo diesels and new transmissions. She is a very comfortable boat for
up to 6 anglers with room to spare. There is an enclosed cabin with
galley, dining table, and a separate room with a porta potti. She is
fully equipped with the same modern electronics as the

Cruising speed is a comfortable 16 knots and the enclosed cabin provides
