Seller wants $90K, down from $100K. It does have USCG stamped plans for 24 pax and out 20 miles, but owner never did go for COI. I can do that. I suspect it only needs new application for inspection, deadweight survey and stability calcs.  I will assist with those.

Accessible Daycharter Catamaran

Got a nice little write-up on a 50′ a solar-powered hybrid, handicap accessible, daycharter catamaran that I am designing. It will operate in Florida. http://flmag.com/off-the-grid/florida-fishing-academy-add-handicap-accessible-hybrid. It will be only 49 passenger, not 75. Foam-glass construction.

Drawings posted soon. This project is why this blog and all my other work got neglected for a while. Deadline was today.

Charter Cat Rolls Over in Florida

A daycharter cat in Florida rolled over from a wave during thanskgiving. Notes thanks to Earl Dame. http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2012-11-23/news/fl-pompano-dive-boat-folo-20121123_1_rough-seas-hillsboro-inlet-high-seas

Look how narrow overall it is for its 45′ length. Only 14.4′. It looks like a powercat designed by guys who were chopper-gunning truck bed covers just a few years ago. Not only do the sum of the hull widths look like they are about half the beam overall, it has planing speedboat bows for displacement boat speeds. No wonder it took twice 225 hp to go 20 knots! A 45′ cat that I or Roger (Hatfield) or even Gino would design would do that 20 knots with about 80 hp per side. Certainly not over 100 hp per side.
The narrow overall beam shouts beginner to me.
