Welcome aboard the 2009 52 Cabo Flybridge Convertible "Trashy Thoughts". She is quite simply the most rare, most desirable and finest Cabo ever constructed. The Michael Peters hull design of the 52 is widely renown as one of the best riding 52’ production hulls ever built.
Of the approximate 20 52 Cabo hulls built, there were only two convertibles. Of those two, the 09 now known as “Trashy Thoughts” is the only one built with big C 32 CAT power, a full tower and rigged for fishing. She is an absolute beast capable of easily cruising in the 32-knot range with wide open speeds in the 40-knot range depending on load and conditions.
Under current ownership TT has been reborn better than ever! From 2021 to 2025 she has been refit top to bottom. She has had a full paint job, SEA KEEPER 10 GYRO STABILIZER, all new teak deck and covering boards, electronics, cushions, and an interior refit. The comprehensive list goes on and on and is included in her full description. MAY 2026 yard period complete including BRAND NEW GENERATOR, bottom paint, prop speed, and full detail.
In addition to being visually stunning and a monster sea boat, “Trashy Thoughts” is a proven fish raiser and tournament champion. She has won the WORLD SAIFFISH CUP under previous ownership plus numerous win/place/show finishes in big game events up and down the eastern seaboard.
Her interior layout, thanks to a 17'9" beam, offers a best-in-class layout and more on-board storage than any other 52-foot vessel I have ever seen. The manageable size and unprecedented volume of TT translates to a versatile, owner operable family fishing vessel.
This is not your average 52-foot sportfish. She has a cult like following, worshiped in Cabo circles and affectionately referred to as The Unicorn! She must be seen to be appreciated.
