1983 Rybovich 55 Convertible Sportfish
Award-winning custom sportfish boatbuilder, John Rybovich & Sons was originally founded in 1919. The three sons, John Rybovich Jr, Tommy, and Emil realized an opportunity to focus on building sportfishing boats from the ground up for big game fishing off Florida's coast, the Bahamas, and Caribbean and built their first boat in 1947. The brothers became the innovators of sportfishing convertible yachts in what has become known as the Florida style. Some of those innovations include the sleek profiles, teak trim, transom doors for hauling aboard big gamefish, pedestal fighting chairs, aluminum tuna tower, and speed! LUCKY is a beautiful example of the Rybovich signature broken sheerline, originally sketched by Tommy Rybovich. Rybovich has been a major influence on other sportfish boat builders, both custom and production. Rybovich sportfish yachts are prized for their timeless beauty and superior cold-molded mahogany construction (since the 1960s). The Michael Rybovich & Sons boatyard continues to use the cold-molded epoxy method, along with newer innovative materials such as carbon fiber. The Master's Angling Tournament, founded in 1963 by Johnny Rybovich and sponsored by the Sailfish Club in Palm Beach, is the world's most prestigious release tournament. And that is what sportfishing is about--and LUCKY is designed and built for, in luxurious classic Rybovich style.

"Lucky" is Rybovich hull # 84 built as the "Marlynn". In recent years she has undergone two major refits; the receipts for which total well above her asking price. Most recently, a full paint job was completed 6/2022. All work was done by Michael Rybovich. She is in extraordinary cosmetic condition and the 1,000 hour engine service was recently completed at 930 hours. Tuna Tower was new in 2016.
LUCKY is that turnkey opportunity that seldom surfaces on the market.
