#23 | No Vacancy
This serious 75' fishing machine was designed to be a viable player on the fishing circuit and built to incoporate luxurious accommodations.
Despite her head-turning good looks, her design, shape and profile are first and foremost based on her intended purpose. Low, sleek, and appearing as if in constant motion, she is in perfect proportion to her length. Whether viewing her landing strip foredeck, the gentle slope of the house with its familiar black brow or the open bridge design with its massive and fully functional Palm Beach tower, everything about De Bait Able is in harmony and balance. And even up on the bow, her removable casting station and flush-mounted livewell make sense.

An Expansive Salon
The expansive salon has C-shaped -seating to port with a Release Marine custom teak table featuring storage below. The fully found galley lies forward; opposite, a spacious dinette, under which is an electrically operated rod storage drawer. Of particular note here is the distinctive overhead cutout that adds an effective and special design statement to the area.
Fishing Amenities Galore
Because the owner does lots of live-bait fishing they wanted to make her complete with some innovations we feel many other rigs do not have. The transom was custom-designed for a pair of 55-gallon livewells with the ability to run both with just one pump. The wells can also be pressurized while the boat is running to prevent any sloshing around in a big sea and injuring or killing the bait.
A Spacious Engine Room
With a 75-foot length and 20 feet, 9 inches of beam, Blue Time has the kind of engine room that offers space, space and more space. There's ample room for the 2,600 hp MTU mains, the pair of 32 kW Cummins Onan gensets, the M26000 Seakeeper gyro mounted in its own custom-made cradle on the centerline forward of the engines, and all of the pumps, water management and air-conditioning systems.
Spirted Performance
She has a notable ability to cut through head-on and quartering waves, in addition to excellent stability with following seas. She jumps quickly up out of the hole and settles into an impressive cruise speed. She displays superior directional stability and tracks straight and true during flat-out speed runs.
On the Bite
Since her launch, this boat has participated in the Sailfish 400, the Sailfish Challenge and the National Billfish Championship.
