Construction is husky, yet light in weight for high speeds with economy. WOOD versions are built with the proven cold molded multi-diagonal format using plywood strips or solid wood veneers over transverse frames and full length longitudinals, all covered with fiberglass outside. With all versions, decks and superstructure are straightforward wood and plywood covered with fiberglass. The bottom design includes a bulbous deep vee entrance for smooth going in headseas, flattening out in a long run aft to reduce fuel consumption at speed, and to provide a stable fishing platform at rest. A long, deep skeg assures instant helm response, while a built-in full length chine deflector knocks water down and away from the deck while adding lift.
Topsides are full flaring reverse curves forward for beauty and added reserve buoyancy.
D riven by twin in-line diesel or gasoline powered engines, the full planing hull can also operate efficiently at lower speeds. The midship engine room has space for a good sized generator and ample fuel tankage port and starboard at the center of buoyancy to assure proper hull balance at all tank loadings. Total capacity is more than sufficient for even extended fishing expeditions. There s an optional transom gate shown for landing the big ones, plus a high area for bait prep, gear storage, bait well, fish box, etc. A roomy flying bridge is just up the ladder, while there's a double sun lounge on the foredeck and a handy anchor pulpit at the bow, all readily accessible via wide sidedecks.
