About

The MO BETTA is a stunning example of Billy Knowles’ legendary craftsmanship—an iconic, Stuart-built custom express sportfish that rarely becomes available. As the flagship of the Knowles fleet, she features cold-molded construction and dependable Cummins power (repowered in 2013 with SmartCraft displays), offering exceptional performance and longevity. Fully outfitted and tournament-ready, she boasts Rupp outriggers, on-deck baitwells, rocket launcher, Simrad electronics (2023), Omni sonar, teak deck and covering boards, and stainless-lined refrigeration. Inside, she offers all the comforts of home with air conditioning, a full head and shower, galley, salon, and forward bunk. MO BETTA is turn-key and ready to fish or cruise in style.
