This is the boat sport fishing boat that starred in The Sopranos. You probably know it as the Stugots. But it has been rechristened. The 1999 boat is now called Never Enough.
It is a 1999 Cape Fear 47 Sportfish that shot to stardom during the HBO series The Sopranos. Two boats showing up led to confusion among those watching. Tony Soprano actually owned two boats throughout the series. The Stugots I and The Stutgots II. This Cape Fear 47 right here is the first, the one that showed up from the very first episode of Season I, when Tony Soprano and his mistress go on board.

In the HBO series, Tony Soprano kept his boat docked at a marina in Kearny, New Jersey. The boat was actually located in a different place: at a marina in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

Season 2 brought to the screen the larger Stugoots II, which was a 55-foot Ocean Yacht manufactured by Egg Harbour in New Jersey.

Back to Stugots I we go, and here is what it is all about. The Cape Fear 47 was built by Paul Wetsig, a well-known North Carolina yacht builder. It has never been a boat that lived most of its life docked in some port, oh, no! It has been traveling the seas for years. When the current owner bought it, it needed a lot of work. Paul Wetsig updated electronics, carried out some interior work, and now it looks as good as new. Almost.

Cape Fear 47 is powered by twin Detroit Diesel DDEC engines that deliver 625 horsepower. Both the port and starboard engines have been rebuilt, having 220 and 2,200 hours, respectively.

Garmin 8215 displays with GPS Plotter show relevant information regarding sailing. It is also equipped with an open array radar, a side scan sonar, and Garmin Auto Pilot.

Those on board the boat benefit from the presence of two staterooms and two toilets. And fishing enthusiasts get a huge teak cockpit and large fish boxes.

For all those out there who want to experience a piece of television history, the iconic sport fishing boat that showed up in The Sopranos has been listed for sale in Stamford, Connecticut, with United Yacht Sales broker Paul Ouimette. The asking price is $299,9000.

It is not the first time it has been for sale. The current owner bought it in 2016 because he and his family wanted a boat to go fishing and renamed it Never Enough, because he did not like the Italian slang that inspired its first name. It is obvious that the boat is not enough for him anymore.

"My client hates to sell this boat," broker Paul Ouimette says. But his kids grew, so he is favoring space instead of TV fame.
