Young Jong Ho, a 2013 Cabo 36’ Express, is a tournament-ready sportfisherman equipped for action. A custom engine package and properly balanced hull allow the vessel to ride high in the waves and promptly get you to the fishing grounds. Previous owners have recently spent over $150,000 in upgrades to keep Young Jong Ho in top condition. This battlewagon has been put on the market for $400,000.
Jeff Brown Yachts stated, “This boat isn’t just a ride; it’s an experience crafted for those who seek elegance and adventure. Step aboard and be captivated by its sleek design and attention-grabbing profile. The Cabo 36 Express stands out, promising a journey that goes beyond the ordinary. Inside, discover a world of comfort and style. Modern amenities and stunning finishes make every moment on this yacht a pleasure. Whether you crave a relaxing cruise or a thrilling fishing trip, this vessel is your ticket to both.”
Young Jong Ho is powered by twin 550 Caterpillar C-7A diesel engines, which will quickly spool up to 28 knots. Dial it back to a 23-knot cruising speed to optimize fuel efficiency and increase range. High-strength, stainless-steel double-tapered propeller shafts connect the diesel engines to the pod drives, which have 4-blade nibral propellers. Pod drives increase the vessel’s maneuverability, a plus for a sportfisherman.
Recent upgrades include the following:
- New upgraded ZF Can-bus units
- New pod harnesses have been replaced and rerouted to prevent potential moisture intrusion
- Surveyed and hauled 2022: full cooling service, injectors, fluids, mains/transmission

Young Jong Ho’s cockpit, or “dance floor,” is very spacious for a midsize vesse. Grab your rod from the locked stowage compartment and continue to the bait- prep center, which has a sink, rigging board, deep tackle drawers, lazarette and fishbox. Fresh bait can be stowed in a 40-gallon transom livewell with large overboard drains and LED lighting. There are four rod holders and a fighting chair that mounts to a reinforced aluminum backing plate. Open the transom door, which has a top gate, for getting that big tuna on deck. Stow your catch in two insulated fish boxes with a macerator pump-out system ,or the icebox fitted with a gasketed lid, gas spring actuator, full-length stainless-steel piano hinge and custom latch. Take advantage of the saltwater or freshwater washdown station before gearing back up at the bait-prep center for another round.
Young Jong Ho’s helm deck is just a few steps up from the cockpit. The captain takes control at the starboard side helm in a comfortable bench-style helm seat with an adjustable footrest. A companion bench-style seat that is reversible is to port. Face forward and join the captain as he cruises out to the fishing grounds, or switch to aft-facing and join guests at the port side lounge with a table. Stow your rods under the lounge and gear in the tackle center with drawers.
Need a better view? Head to the tuna tower and enjoy the 360-degree views.
Step belowdecks through the companionway door from the helm deck to the main cabin, galley and forward cabin, which is all open. The first thing you notice is the teak sole and cabinetry with a satin-finish that glows in the light. Relax on the L-shaped dinette to starboard with an adjustable table, while dinner is being prepared in the galley to port. Galley amenities include the following:
- Cooktop, ceramic, two-burner, recessed with solid-surface cover
- Solid-surface countertop with sea rails
- Latches, positive, cabinet doors and drawers
- Microwave/convection oven
- Refrigerator/freezer, side-by-side, AC/DC
- Sink, stainless-steel
- Stowage compartments and drawers throughout
- Under cabinet lighting, recessed halogen
After a long day on the water, retire to one of four berths which share a single head with a shower. The forward cabin has an over/under berth setup with a single-sized berth and a double-sized berth with five-inch thick mattresses. Two additional guests can sleep on the L-shaped dinette, which converts into twin-sized upper and lower berths.
