Go Pro

The Pro-Line 35 Express is all business.
fa_proline_450x266.jpg

STOW AND GO: An aft bench seat folds out of the way for plenty of rod clearance around the engines.
WIDE OPEN: A 115-square foot cockpit accommodates multiple anglers, while a tackle center stores lots of gear and a roomy lazarette eases pump service.
COMMAND CENTER: The ergonomic helm is arranged for easy, long-distance cruising, while the helm chair rivals the best La-Z-Boy.
TOWER UP: An optional tower will let you drive from on high, but also requires the triple-outboard package.
HIGH STYLE: With a full galley, beautiful appointments and a private forward berth, the 35 Express will cruise to far-flung fishing grounds.
PEACE OF MIND: Solidly built using quality resins, bi- and tri-axial fiberglass and a unitized stringer system, the 35 will stand up for years and comes with a ten-year transferable hull warranty.

Pro-line’s flagship, the 35 Express, is built by fishermen for fishermen. Its primary focus never wavers-it’ll welcome sweat, scales and slime like the rest of the Pro-Line fleet. Dependable outboards give the 35 Express more pep than a similar vessel with diesel power and reduce the draft. So don’t scoff at its lovely profile and comfortable cabin, the 35 Express is really a fishing beast at heart.
