Fishing Fever, 52-foot Buddy Davis Convertible is a timeless classic in the world of custom sport fishing yachts, renowned for its legendary ride a design hallmark of Buddy Davis hulls that slices through heavy head seas, tracks straight in following seas, and remains remarkably stable when drifting or at rest in rough conditions.

Powered by a pair of Caterpillar 3406 engines (800hp), they propel Fishing Fever to a comfortable cruising speed of 25 knots and a top end of 30 knots. The Caterpillar 3406E are known for their straightforward mechanical reliability, making them a favorite among owners who value serviceability and long-term performance.

Measuring 52 feet the hull constructed of fiberglass witha generous 16-foot beam and a draft of 4 feet 4 inches, while displacing 45,000 pounds (dry). The 52 Davis is a wide, stable platform offering exceptional cockpit space for fishing, with features like a transom door, large baitwell/prep areas, and fighting chair perfect for tournament anglers chasing billfish, tuna, or other big game.

On deck, the flybridge provides commanding visibility with a centerline helm, custom teak pod, single-lever controls, and seating for multiple guests. Below, the interior accommodates **four to six** in two staterooms (including a master with en-suite head and a guest cabin), plus a salon/galley area with rich wood finishes, comfortable seating, and practical amenities for extended cruising.
