1995 Lewis Brothers 54 Flybridge Sportfish

Lewis Brothers custom hand-crafted Carolina sportfish boats are truly a part of
Harkers Island boatbuilding history. Jamie Lewis and sons were honored with
North Carolina’s Heritage Award for their continuation of the 19th and
20th century Harkers Island time-honored backyard boatbuilders’ traditions that
have informed and influenced countless sportfish builders to this day.

BODACIOUS, a Lewis 54ft flybridge sportfish boat, is constructed in the
time-honored plank on frame method and encased in fiberglass using the West
epoxy system and features the traditional wide Carolina flared bow and broken
sheer. The recently updated Lewis 54 features an immense cockpit with split lid
transom fishbox, center bait rigging station with rocket launcher rod holders,
cabinets against the forward bulkhead with a large BBQ grill, storage, tackle
center, in-deck ice dump, Rupp outriggers and more. Teak coaming boards and trim
add a touch of class. A Simrad GPS, sounder, radar display screen is mounted
under the bridge overhang. An athwartship ladder leads up to flybridge with
hardtop and Eisenglass 3-sided spray enclosure. Bridge is a typical sportfish
arrangement with peninsula helm console from portside that features a teak helm
pod with single lever controls, two huge Simrad screens displaying navigation
electronics, communications, and more along with two helm seats. Guest seating
is forward of console and a bench seat is on starboard side.

The spacious interior open floorplan features a huge L-shaped upholstered couch
on port and aft sides, that abuts the open galley forward on portside. Flooring
is a beautiful easy-care faux teak laminate. Efficient galley features
undercounter refrigerator and freezer drawers, stainless-steel sink, electric
cooktop, Corian countertops, and satin-finished storage cabinetry for longer
offshore fishing trips. A settee with matching upholstery is on starboard side,
along with the entertainment center, and flatscreen TV mounted on the starboard
forward bulkhead. Accommodations for 4 are comfortable and have built-in rod
storage along sides and overhead. Head has an enclosed shower stall.

BODACIOUS is powered by 2021 Scania twin 900hp diesels with a strong Swedish
common rail design, low exhaust emissions, good fuel economy, and a high torque
for a reliable and efficient cruise to the fishing grounds and back. The Lewis
Brothers 54 with its superior Carolina ride, was built rugged and efficient for
serious offshore fishing. BODACIOUS is a time-proven seaworthy boat, capable of
efficiently taking on a range of sea conditions.
