Engines

In 2003, the owners of this boat purchased a pair of 1996 Detroit 12V71 diesel engines that were completely rebuilt prior to being installed. The engines give a combined horsepower in excess of 1200hp and have around 3,200 hours logged to date. The engines are coupled to MG-514 Twin Disc gearboxes at a ratio of 2:1. This then in turn is connected to the 2.5 inch diameter stainless steel prop shafts and 32” x 30” 3 bladed bronze propellers.

Each year, the boat is hailed out the water for annual maintenance including hull cleaning, painting, and inspection. All underwater anodes are changed; prop shafts, hangers and rudders are inspected. The propellers are removed and shopped for any required repairs and balancing. The engines and generator oil and filters (including fuel) are changed ever 300 operating hours.

As well as the main engines onboard, you also have a 16kw Isuzu generator.

Construction

The hull design of this boat has made it one of the finest offshore charter boats in the area. The boat has a flush deck, a raked bow, a transom stern, and a cabin with two tables and seating for fourteen persons. Onboard you also have a heads compartment and an enclosed pilothouse that offers 360 visibility.

You could say that this vessel is a typical “Sport Fisherman” type with flush deck, recessed cockpit aft and enclosed pilothouse atop. The beauty of this particular design however is that you have walk-around access with closed bulwarks, 2 ½’ to 3’ in height.

The hull design is so strong thanks to having five separate water-tight compartments separated by four water-tight bulkheads.
