Overview

Rare opportunities like this only happen once in a lifetime. Built on Harkers Island, North Carolina by the legendary late Ricky Gillikin, this vessel represents the work of a true pioneer at the peak of his career. Originally known to many as the Reel Dizzy, the Bill of Fare has been continuously upgraded and modernized by her current owner over the last 11 years. To truly appreciate this incredible boat, one must understand her rich heritage. Her rough-water capability and stability were years ahead of their time, rivaling or exceeding modern computer engineering. One sea trial will prove exactly why Custom Carolina boats continue to dominate the resale market.
