More than one out of every three boats featured on United’s Hot List have sold within 4 weeks of being featured!

Hot List boats below in order by length:

Hot List #1 Vote – “MANANA” – 2007 EGG HARBOR 43 SPORT FISHERMAN

“Mañana” has never been fished at all by the 1 owner, maintained to high standards and has very low hours.

New Jersey builders have a reputation for creating seaworthy fishing boats. That heritage continues with the Egg Harbor 43 convertible. Egg Harbor challenged the Michael Peters design team to develop a fast, dry-running surface, since the company has a long history of building top-flight offshore boats. The resulting slightly concave bottom boasts prop pockets affording the 43 a shallower draft for transiting the Bahamas banks or shallow waters up and down the Eastern seaboard.
