About Bill of Fare
<p>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 <em>Reel Dizzy</em>, the <em>Bill of Fare</em> 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.</p><p>Recent updates 2025/2026</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Hull, hard top, non-skid and Deck paint - Spencer Yachts</li><li>Engines stripped and painted - Spencer Yachts</li><li>Engine Room Painted - Spencer Yachts</li><li>Interior/ Exterior LED lighting - Spencer Yachts</li><li>New Garmin Electronics - Bellhart</li><li>AC Handlers replaced</li><li>Riggers Ceramic coated - Spencer Yachts</li><li>Gas shocks on Box Lids</li><li>Tides marine shaft seals</li><li>Props Balanced - Wildcat</li><li>NewRaritan Head system</li><li>New Carpet</li><li>List goes on!</li></ul><p><br></p> <br> <i> Resolute Yachting is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel.
