290 Express Fisherman

The 290 Express offers the ultimate in hardcore fishing amenities in a compact express package. Serious anglers will appreciate its offshore ability, exceptional handling in rough seas, and fuel economy. Featuring a modern helm area with forward facing seating for three, mezzanine style seating aft, large in-deck macerated fishboxes, transom livewell, tackle center, and a standard transom door, this express delivers in a big way. With a full galley, a standup head, and forward bunks, the 290 will comfortably accommodate a crew of four. The hull is designed to bust through head seas, land softly in the troughs and keep the molded single-pane windshield clean and dry.
