Power is twin C-32A, 1,930 hp each, showing 5,100 hours. She cruises around 30 knots and tops out near 36 knots, carrying 2,450 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 4 staterooms.
Highlights
What sets this hull apart on today's market.
Greg Gaus runs and sells performance boats out of Fort Lauderdale. His central listing in the category is the Viking 45 Open "The Wroe Boat", and in 2026 he sold both a Formula 430 SSC and the Midnight Express 43 "Stop the Press". He spent 20+ years as a professional captain. That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.

What does it cost to run a 72-foot sportfish?
As of 2026, industry estimates for a crewed 72-footer typically run mid to high six figures per year, with a crew of roughly four to six, covering crew, fuel, insurance, dockage, and maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this yacht before you offer.
Where can I see "Never Say Never"?

How does the purchase process work?

How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.
