North Carolina-based Mystique Boatworks will hit the market this fall with its first model—the Mystique 48 CC—a custom outboard-powered luxury sportfisher. Hull No. 1 will incorporate cold-molded wood-boat techniques, with each subsequent model featuring composite materials and technology.
Designed by Jim Luxton, a co-founder of Jarrett Bay Boatworks, the 48 CC will feature 19 degrees of deadrise at the transom and progress to 24 degrees forward to help smooth the ride. The 48-footer will boast a 15-foot beam and a gyro-stabilizer for roll stability in rough seas.
Renderings depict handsome Carolina styling with a broken sweeping shear, wide bow flare, classic tumblehome in the aft quarters and a sculpted integral outboard bracket. Power will take the form of quadruple Mercury 600 hp Verado V-12 outboards with contra-rotating propellers. The company lists standard fuel capacity at 600 gallons with 750-gallon capacity available as an option. There’s also a 75-gallon diesel fuel tank for powering a marine generator. Mystique estimates that the 30,0000-pound boat will achieve a top speed in excess of 60 mph.

Mystique plans to offer the 48 CC on a bespoke basis, with each boat customized to the buyer’s wishes. Concept rendering shows doors on both sides of the aft cockpit, a pair of 40-gallon transom livewells, and elevated mezzanine seating abaft the helm chairs. A lounge for two adorns the forward console. The center console merges seamlessly with the hardtop, and a three-sided tempered-glass windshield protects the helm area. Within the center console lies ample room for incorporating custom overnighting amenities such as a berth, galley, head and shower. Pricing was unavailable at press time.
