"One-off" fiberglass hull construction optional.
  • Power: Single diesel motor of approximately 145 continuous shaft horsepower with suitable reduction gear. Twin motors may be used, but are not as practical or economical, and hence not recommended.
  • Can the hull be extended or shortened? Yes; Up to 10% by re-spacing the frames from the aft end of the stem to the transom a proportional amount. We do not recommend increasing the beam.
